SETTLER SET RIGHT.

In the Gulfport News there appeal
ed an article in which we saw point
that we wished to make by leaving
out the reference to Meridian, which
city we hold in grateful remembrance,
which article we paraphrased to read
as follows:
Judging from the tone OF The
Progress. Hattiesburg IL threatened
with another daily paper. If another
daily wants to start and die it should
go to some other place, which it could
leave with less regret than it could
Hattiesburg.
Today we are in receipt of letter
from Mr.. SETTLER requesting that we
give the article as he wrote it which
is as follows:
Judging from the tone of The
Progress, Hattiesburg is threatened
with another daily paper. II another
daily wants to start ana die it shoulo
90 to Meridian which place it coule
leave with less regret than any othel
place in the state Besides. Meridian
has large old sedge field set aside al
graveyard for defunct newspapers.
While in what Mr.. SETTLER says re-
garding graveyards there is heap o.
truth, we wish it understood that onl
memory of Meridian is the most pleas
ant and we hope always to have TIT
good will az we now have Of ever.

Three miles from Ocean Springs
lies the estate of the late Col. J. B.
Rose, the baking powder king. On
this estate are over one thousand
acres of orange and plum trees, and
several carloads of luscious seedless
oranges of the finest variety have just
been shipped from that place to cas-
tern markets. The orange industry
promised to develop into large pro-
portions prior to the disastrous freeze
which killed the crop as far south as
middle Florida several years ago, but
the recent mild winters have encour-
aged a renewal of interest in the Gull
turs of the fruit and it is said that
trees are being planted on a large
scale this winter in several OF the
coast counties. All kinds of fruits
grow iuxu-iously in Mississippi and
the Sentinel would like to see the
farmers OF Yazoo take more interest
in this branch of industry. Oranges
would hardly thrive in Yazoo county,
but plums, apples. figs. peaches and
other fruits do well when properly
planted and cared for and all of them
are profitable. -Yazoo Sentinel.

City Tax Collector Frank Arrighi
is something OF a philosopher. He
says that with a much larger tax roll
than ever before the collections for
this year are behind those of the same
time last year, but he will not sit up
at nights because the money for the
tax payments is here and the property
remains in the same old place.
