From the Censuus reports we learn
that Old Miss. has climbed up the pine
tree until she has passed all COM
petitors in the rosin business except
four-Georgia, Florida, North Carolina
and Alabama. This is remarkable, in
deed, when we recall the youth of the
industry and the meager encourage
ment it met with from us for so long a

| Our fields furnish the cotton that fills
most of the NOrthern-made mattresses,
and covers all of them, and from our
woods are gathered the thousands of
bales of gray moss that frequently
| come back to us as ''curled hair" mat
tresses, and the same railroads and
water courses that bring the mattresses
back to us from Yankee factories could
| carry our home-raised and homemade
mattresses to the markets of the world
in sufficient numbers to rest the weary
bones of all the people in the land.

up) and HUSTLE!
