Opens New Fields for Farmers.

The Collins Canning Factory has
started up under very favorable aus
pices. About seventy-fve hands will
be employed in this institution. The
stockholders are we'll pleased with
the results obtained. Farmers are
gratified ct the crop prospects. The
tomato industry is new one for this
section and many farmers we're not
willing to plant, but the most skepti-
cal have been converted to the new
feature of the farm by the enormous
yield of tomatoes. Many claim that
an acre will produce from 600 to 700
bushels of tomatoes, and with less la
Dor for cultivation than is required

Young Woman Successfully Posed as a
Man for Several Years.

AAoH lUA OCvCAoi 1 C0A0s
A strange story comes from Prem
tiss county in this state, and one
which has lot been duplicated in
Mississippi, so for as known. 1t is to
the effect that for some years young
man by the name of Willie Day, us
everyone supposed. lived near Boone
vile and engagrd in work on farm.
The person plowed and did other ne
cesar. work on the farm and nothing
was suspected. Everyone thought
that it was a man. Willie smoked
cigarettes and contracted other habits
which are peculiar to the Steiner sex.
A few days ago Willie was charged
with some kind of an offense, and it
was necessary to reveal her sex to the
officers of the law, which she did. 1t
seems that the WON an was guilty of
no crime but took to mems dress that
she might make better living. She
had lived several years in Prentiss
county and no one had ever suspected
her identity.

Clelland, of the board of mayor and
aldermen, looking to compromise of
the injunction recently secured against
the city by Mr.. Bate restraining the
city from paving Capitol street from
Parish street to Tuwn Creek bridge.
Mr.. Bate some time ago built brick
store on his lot on Capitol street, and
the city made him move it back
considerable distance from the old
line. the officials at the time having
determined to make the other proper
ty owners move their houses back
even with Mr.. Bates line. Some time
later this plan was changed, and the
suits were compromised by the city
moving the houses back only short
distance leaving Mr.. Bates property
much further back than the other
property. When the time for paving
that section of the street arrived Mr..
Bate enjoined the city from paving
the street, and it has been tied up
ever since. The business men of Yves
Jackson petitioned the council to
straighten up the matter. The result
of the conference was that Mr.. Mo
Cleland agreed to pay Mr.. Bate 5000.
This action will have so be ratified by
the council. It is believed that the
Agreements will be ratified and this
section of the street paved.
