ON TO MOBILE.

The Queen City of the gulf doubt
less feels highly elated over the fact
that it will hereafter have Hatties-
burg for its next door neighbor and
will be able to borrow peck of meal
any day. And Hattiesburg feels q
little proud of the fact that it is CON
nected with another deep water har-
Dor, making three, and that it has a
port through which it can quickly
reach all South American trading
points. But this is not all that Hat
tiesburg is proud of. 1t is proud that
1t is the hub of a wheel, having rail
roads for its spokes, and that we can
have the choice of shipping our
products in any direction and can
receive our goods from the four cor
ners of the earth on any railroad line.
But SILL we are proud of the fact
that We can take a trip down to Mo
bile any day, eat oysters with the
boys, and return that day. We are
also proud of the fact that if Mobile
has anything we desire postal card
will bring carload of it the next
day, or jug full, and that Sal Jones
can go down to see Sue Smith and
Bill Smith can accompany her home
and that we have ministers who can
tie marriage knots SO hard they will
never come loose.
Hattiesburg rather likes her neigh
Dor down on the gulf and would have
gone over to see you before now, -
but owing to the fact it would have
been necessary to have gone around
by Gulfport or Meridian. We dom t
like Meridian much anyhow and do
not care to be caught even passing
through it. 1t says we are a way
station and that we have to fence the
cows out of the town and that editors
down here do not wear socks in the
summer and other such stuff. Mo-
bile, we are satisfied, would not
be guilty of running us down
in any such manner, but will say,
come into our arms, You great COB
of goody. We know yer face, but it
has been so long time since we saw yer
that we come very near not enduring

The Progress has been boasting all
along about the wonderful strides
this county is making in wealth as
we'll as population. This boasting is
not without the facts to sustain it.
The increase of realty and personal
property, including that of railroads,
is 81, 165, 826, the largest increase of
any county in the state. Pike county
comes next with an increase of ST.
574, 475. This is very fine showing
for county heretofore considered so
poor it had to use baking powder to
raise white headed children.

Now let the merchants and other
business men of Hattiesburg reach
out toward Mobile for trade. 1t is
all wrong to think that Mobile can
control all the trade in that territory
1t is by rights ours and we must ''go
for it, with considerable activity and
earnsetness, and by hard work, honest
dealing and the liberal use of printer 5
ink Hattiesburg can control much of
the trade.

Balance in Our Favor.

The extent that the short crops of
last season affected our exports is seen
in the falling off in the amount of 500,
100000 during May and 500, 100000 dur
ing the eleven months compared with
the same periods a year before. The loss
is mainly due to the short crop of corn
and oats and the lower price of cotton
During the eleven months Of the fiscal
year the amount Of corn exported was
14O, 100000 bushels and of oats 10000,
coo bushels. Although 100000 bales
more of cotton were exported, the value
was less by $22,O0O,OO0. The shortage
Of corn has had an effect upon the ex
port of cattle, hogs and provisions, the
decrease in value being $3,60O.000 in
May Turning to imports, the value
thereof in May was 100000 less than
in May, 1901. For the eleven months
in spite of the fact that the imports
were S75,OOO,O0O more the last period
than in 1901, the excess of exports over
imports is S462, 470,S45. This is small
err balance in our favor than we have
had for four years, but it is sufficient.
