A gentleman recently returned
from the West, says, "Taking it all
in all, Mississippi is about as good
a state as there is in the Union, to
live in. 1t is true, you can't make
money as fast in trades or profes-
sions, but living expenses are SO
much cheaper in Mississippi that
they counter balance the deficit
in other respects. Then too, a
total failure has never been known
in this state, and anybody who
works and uses his brains even
moderately can count on a fair
living. But in the West its one
year a year of treme ndous plenty
and everybody goes wild over
their good fortune, and scatter
money to the winds. The next
year may be a total failure and
the next not enough raised on the
farm to feed a horse and then
another year Of drought and total
failure. And then comes the
year plenty and the year OF famine
are forgotten, and the great West
is whooped up again. for three
times what it's worth. For slow
but steady prosperity give mt
