Messrs Finch and Morton, the inven-
tors and makers of. the new patent
Finch wagon bed, are building and ex
hibiting in the CITY one of the most
convenient and strongly constructed
wagon beds on the market today. The
bed is just the kind the planters want
in the Delta, and in proof Of this the
gentlemen cannot make them fast
enough to supply the demand.
There is hardly planter that sees
the bed, which is on exhibition on the
lot in front Of the park on Washington
ave, where the Wetherbee Hardware
Company has number of wagons, but
who recomme nds it in the strongest
terms and most all have purchased one
or two for their use.
This is an opportunity for Greenville
to organize wagon factory in the
city. The gentlemen who own the
patent need money to put In the neces
sary machinery and lumber to manu-
facture their beds, and it is believed
that to construct the running gear
here it will increase their sales.
We can see no reason why Green
vile should not be good site for
wagon factory, for being In the heart
of the timber country and having both
river and rail facilities for getting
timber here it should be able to manu-.
facture as good and cheap wagon as
Hickman, KY which is much smaller
place on the same river.
Again, the Finch patent bed, which
no other mandatory can use only by
right Of purchase of this company, will
give the Greenvllle wa gon sale that
no other wagons can get. We hope
our monied men will look into this
matter and organize company. $4,000
capital stock will prove sufficient for
the first year, we are told. And place
the shares low enough that every bus
mess young man in town can take
stock in it. L he fact is, If the company
could sell one third the wagons sold
in the Delta it would pay handsomely
and we can see no reason why they
should not do it.
Messrs Fisk and Morton showed US
letters from capitalists in the north,
making them flattering offers for their
patent or to organize company there,
but both gentlemen are Southern men
and want to see their own people and
state State profit by their brains.
Let the matter b. agitated, the city
needs the factory. 1t can be built by
each business man taking one or more
shares. Before the end Of the year
many will make it back from the fac
tory's pay roll. The sooner the work
is started, the better. Who will take
the lead by subscribing for some stock
and soliciting others? For such move
ment the Business League can aid, and
should, for the city's good

A Nsw Resident.

We copy the following from a
recent issue of the Newton Rec
ord, and extend DR.. Se,by a COR
dial welcome:
1.-THE many friends of DR.. and
Mrs. Henry Selby will regret to
know that in the near future they
will leave for Greenville to make
their future home. Dr.. Selby de-
slres to get in a larger and better
town, and has formed a partner
ship with DR.. Howard T. Stewart,
of that place, where he will prac-
tice his profession, dentistry. DR..
Selby is a native of Newton, and
is one of it's most deserving
young men; is an excellent dem
fist, being graduate of Wander
pllt University dental department,
and has built up a good practice
here. He and his estimable wife
are held in high esteem by every
one here, and they will be greatly
missed in social, religious and
business circles"

The fight being made by the
Vicksburg Herald for 'bonest
elections" in It's own county is a
feather in its cap and should he
endorsed by every good citizen in
the state. The primary election
law was made for honest cleo
tions and unless the press and
people of each county in the state
see that they are held irrespec-
tive Of who wins, a bad STATE of
affairs will result. Honest cleo
tions are the safeguard Of the
republic.

Short Crop an Assured Fact.

From all sides comes the report that
the cotton crop of the Delta will be
one third short this year over last.
The estimate has been shown by the
cotton open, the first picking, and also
by the fact that there is SO far no top
crop. August is the month in which
cotton does its best and tomorrow 1t is
out and September is upon us, the first
cotton picking month. 1t is true, cot
ton makes in the first of this month,
but we are confident the reports given
by prominent planters as to the crops
are true and the estimator will SO find
it out when the crop is gathered.

ELKs ON A TOUR.

We copy the following from the
oan Francisco, Gals Examiner.
OF recent date:
"The crowd of strangers within
the city's gates was considerably
augmented yesterday by the arriv-
al of hundreds of Elks who have
been attending the session of the
Grand Lodge al Salt Lake City
during the past week land reveling
in the attending festivities. The
Elks came westward in a number
OF special trains that we're run as
extra sections Of the regular over
lands, and began arriving at an
early hour Yesterday mornlngl
"There was wild scramble for
accommodations, owing to the over
crowded condition of the down
town hotels, but the reception com
mittee of the local lodge of Elks
succeeded in taking good care of
all the visitors.
"rhe number of visiting Elks
will be still futher increased to-
day, when the last of the special
trains arrive from Salt Lake City.
"On one of these trains are the
Grand Lodge officers, who are
due here early this morning.
Among the delegations that
reached town yesterday we're the
Greenville (Miss.) Lodge. who
like to be distinguished as the
"Cotton Pickers" Each member
of the Greenville Lodge wears
ribbon on his hat bearing that in
scription. The Cotton Plckers
won the second prize for the most
unique costumes worn IN the pa
rade at Salt Lake, and have come
away from the Mormon capitol
feeling that they should have been
awarded the first prize So, at
least. declared Exalted Ruler
j. M. Hutsell, of the Greenville
Lodge, last evening. He added
however, the Cotton Pickers were
not permitting their dissatisfaction
to spoil their outing festivities.
"The visiting Elks have come TO
California simply for an addition
al holiday before returning to
their eastern homes. While here
they will he entertained by the
local lodge, which will keep house
in its new quarters on Suffer

members was held at the lodge |

FLOWING TO BE A LUXURY.
A Scheme for Making Easy Til.
ling Of the Soil.

From blowing to automobilins
seems a far cry, yet those two ex
tremes are combined in the great
est invention of DR.. r. j. Calling,
originator of the famous rapid
firing gun which bears his name
AT the age of 70, DR.. Gatling
has conceived the idea of replacing
the farm horses with gasoline,
and changing the adornment OF
farmers hands from callouses tc
chauffeur's gloves
In other words, plowlng is to be
revolutionized, as was modern
warfare.
Many years ago, the cradle took
the place of !the sickle, and that
was later driven out of The field
by the reaper, which after a short
but useful career, was replaced by
the self binding arvester, each in
it's newer and better methods,
cheapening the cost of producing
wheat. During all this time,
while the methods of harvesting
the crops we're being so much bet
tered by introducing labor saving
machinery, very little progress
has been made toward cheapening
the cost of preparing the land for
the seed.
1t has remained for DR.. Cat
ling to invent motor pillow, driv-
en- by a gasoline engine of suffici-
ent power to propel the plows at
aIy desired depth between one
and twelve inches. The truck is
built similar to those trucks used
with traction engines, except that
the steam boiler is replaced by a
strong platform on which is pla-
ced the gasoline engine. 1t is
connected with the traction gear
ing by series of wheels; to this
truck is attached a set of disc
plows.
With this machine, it is esti-
mated that one man can pillow from
thirty to thirty five acres in a day.
To pillow this number of acres in
one day, with the ordinary pillow,
would require fifteen men and
thirty horses.
All that is required to operate
the Calling pillow, is for the farm
er to sit upon the cushioned seat
Of the truck and work the con-
troller, which is not unlike those
attached to automobiles. If he
happens to be indisposed, his wife
can take his place.
1t is generally estimated that
The cost of blowing under ordi-
nary conditions is S1.50 per acre,
md then the further preparation
If the ground by narrowing a nd
'olling it, costs another so cents
Der acre. BY the process of plow-
ng with the Calling machine,
he ground becomes thoroughly |
,uIverized and the rolling is not
'equired. DR.. Calling is having
lis pillow made in St. Louis, and

or the market. As yet, his
