Cd man yesterday The girl whom he

PlNEY WOODS.

The piney woods of Mississippi
is becoming the admiration of the
State. Candidates for State off /.
ces who have visited that part of
the commonwealth are simply car
ried away with lts splendid growth
and its marvellous possibilities.
Railroads are developing IL in a
wonderful way, aud its future is
pregnant with promises of wealth
not dreamed of a few years ago.
The pine forest are being utilized
in most substantial way, and the
soil and beautiful streams. now
that a branch experimental station
has been successfully established
there, means that in the near fu-
ture it will become a garden spot
of the South in the matter of di-
versified farming. There is no
section of the United States bet
ter adapted to the raising of all
kinds of truck, of fine melons,
fruit of all kinds, and as a poultry
district it is simply Incompatible.
The lands where the timber has
been cut are now comparatively
cheap but they are enhancing in
value daily, and the splendid
water everywhere to be found in
abundance gives assurance of a
most healthy and delightful coun-
try. All sorts of mills and facto-
ries are springing up which means
more population in the cities and
towns to consume the products
Of field, garden and orchard, and
stock and poultry farms. AS a
cattle section it has long been fa-
nous. Indeed it has been known
in Mississippi,s since the memory OF
of man runneth not to the contrary
as the" counties. There every
prospect pleases, and values are
climbing up all the time. All this
shows what railroads can do; the
people are energetic, progressive
and hopeful, and the day IS not
far distant when the piney woods
of Mississippi will become 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 to

PLANTING SHELLS FOR
THE REEFS BETTERMENT.
Mississippi Oyster Commission rIet
at Pass Christian Monday Bowers
Oyster Bill Declared Satisfactory.

Pass Christian, Miss, May A.
At meeting of the Mississippi
Oyster Commissioners TODAY II
wac decided to expend the $4,000
provided by law for the planting
of shells, by appropriating 81, 900
othe vicinity of Pascagoula, $500
between Biloxi and Ocean Springs
and $4,000 around Pass Christian.
The larger portion of the amount
was given to this section for the
reason that it recognized that the
waters from Pass Christian west
ward affords the. best oyste +
grounds and contained most of the
natural reefs.
The shells will be placed along
the edges of the natural reefs so
as to increase its area. Oysters
grow wherever the spawn finds
lodgment, with the conditions "a
vorahle, and as they are indigen-
GUS TO nearly all the. water in the
Mississippi Sound, the commits
sion expects the plan of planting
shells to create reefs stretching
over the larger portion of the
Sound.
The Bowers oyster law has now
been test ed one season, and while
there are some minor defects in
its practi cal appliance, as rule it
has given much satisfaction. I'm
der its working the output of can
ned oysters this season has been
as large, if not larger, than ever
before, and the reefs continued to
furnish an abundant supply to the
very end.
