SOUTH MISSISSIPPI.
{ Mississippi Picayune Bureau.


! The piny woods of Mississippi is
becoming the admiration of the state.
Candidates for state offices who have
visited that magnificent part of the
commonwealth are simply carried
away with it's splendid growth and it's
marvellous possibilities. Railroads
are developing in wonderful way,
Eand it's future is pregnant with prom
isessof wealth not dream ID of few
yeras ago. The pine forests are being
utilized in the most substantial way.
aud the soil and beautiful streams,
now that a branch experimental station
has been successfully established
there, mean that in the near future
it.will become garden spot of the
south i'll the matter of diversified
farming There is no section of the
United States better adapted to the
raising of all sorts of truck, of fine
melons, fruits of all kinds, and as a
poultry district it is simply in-com-
parable. The lands where timber has
been cut are now comparatively
cheap, but they are advancing i'll
valnue daily, and the splendid water
everywhere to be found in abundance
gives assurance of a most healthy and
delightful country. All sorts of
mills. and factories are springing up,
which means more population in the
cities and towns to consume the pro-
ducts Of field, garden and orchard,
and stock and poultry farms AS
cattle section it has been famous.
Indeed it has been known in Misssis-
sippi, since the memory of man runneth
not to the contrary, as the "cow
counties. There every prospect
pleases, and values are climbing up
all the time. All this shows what
railroads can do; the people are ener-
getic, progressive and hopeful, and
the day is not far distant when the
piny woods of Mississippi will be-
come famous all over the country.
Not far from this favored section is
the gulf coast of Mississippi; in fact,
the piny woods extend right down to
the "many sounding sea-" where
there is also thrift and growth in an
astonishing degree. The three coast
counties, Hancock, Harrison and Jack
son, as shown by the last assessment
rolls, have grown very rich. Their
splendid towns are credit to the
state, and the deep water harbor at
Gulfport, now assured, will give
greater industrial and commercial i'm
petus, not only to the coast counties,
but to south Mississippi and the en-
tire state. Congress will continue
doubtless to make appropriations for
the coast towns. The immediate mem
Der of congress from that district is

he would sell it to him for a, 600.

An amendment of Mr.. O'Brien pro-
viding for extending financial assis-
tance to the evicted tenants was well
coined, but many of the delegates
wished it to 60 further.

evicted peasants should themselves be
evicted.
This peasant orator worked up a
storm against "grabbers, but Mr..

prevailed.
Throughout the morning peasant
speakers discussed the details Of the
