be vigorously prosecuted until some
thing turns up as reward for the
labor expended.
Eupora has just installed an indie
pendent telephone company, and will
hereafter be able to converse without
the trouble of going over to a neigh
boris house or hanging over the divis-
ion fence A good list of subscribers
are on hand to commence with, and
others will fall into line.
Regular train service has been es-
tablished on the Liberty-White Rail-
road, from Macomb City to Liberty,
and the people can go back and forth
in a day now. McComb is confident
that the road will prove great feeder
for that splendid place. 1t has grown
in Importance as a cotton shipping
point for some time, and this will give
impetus to the movement. The coun-
try around the town is especially
adapted to the growing Of truck, and
interest in that line will be stimulated
as much as possible. The business
section burned some weeks since is
being rebuilt with larger and better
buildings than before, and the re-
newed McComb will be better town
by far than the old one.
Three years ago, when A. M. Angus
tine, of West Point proposed the capt.
talization of $40, 900 orchard, the peo-
pie dubbed him CRATER of the worst
type. The move was gotten on foot,
though, and this year the products of
the farm were something over $4,000,
and it is only beginning to bear. The
rate on improved acres was about
$500. Who could wish for a better in
vestment? What Mr.. Augustine has
done thousands of others can do. Ours
is largely a truck and fruit country
and there is no reason why our people
could not be growing rich off the pro-
duct of land that is now thought high
at two or three dollars an acre.
The board of supervisors of Bolivar
county have purchased farm for the
county poor, where all that are able
to do any work can find something to
employ the hands as well as the mind.
Quite a number are able to raise veg
etables, and it is expected that the in
mates will have better health and be
more contented If there is some light
labor to take up their time. The ex-
pertinent will be watched with inter
est.
A Monroe county farmer says that
he never saw crops in better condi-
tion and larger number of mule colts
in the country That is fine report
for old Monroe. How many counties
in the State can say as much or more?
Good crops, mule colts, killing hogs
greatest prerequisites to a prosperous
nd happy people.
The Masonic fraternity of Yazoo
City are contemplating the erection
of temple to cost about $4,000, the
Odd Fellows are arranging to build
$4,000 hall and the other orders are
not asleep by any means. YaZoo City
will be better fixed in the line of fra
ternal buildings than any town in the
State of twice its size.
A new line of railroad has been
chartered, to run from Alexandria,
La, via Bayou Macon, to point oppo-
site Greenville. The promoters are
successful business men, and have the
money to put the matter through.
Greenville expects the new road to
be a valuable feeder for her business,
and it will no doubt prove so.
Mississippi is now in possession Of
a type foundry, and the declining dis
counts need not longer worry the
country printer. The Mississippi Type
Foundry, Jackson, is a new institution
that proposes to furnish type at fig
ures that will bring business. 1t is a
home institution. and Mississippi
printers will see that 1t is maintained.
