and true, extending to good people
from every land that cordial and hear
ty welcome for which the south has
long and justly been noted. We de-
sire the immigration of people who
will make this their home, invest their
mt1ey tith us, labor side by side for
the general good, and cheerfully abide
by the laws of the commonwealth.
There are opportunities here for all,
the laborer, the capitalist, the manu-
facturer and the professional man.
There is an abundance of undevel-
oped resources, offering unparalleled
opportunities for the man with brain,
Drawn and financial ability. There
are millions of acres of land in the
state only awaiting the advent of the
careful and industrious farmer to
make it produce the necessities of
life both abundantly and profitably
Billions of feet of the most valuable
stumpage stands in the forests today
along the new lines of railroad Just
constructed and immense tracts are
untouched and will be worth fabulous
sums when other roads projected are
put into operation. Clays, of minute
fneness and of large strata abound
and offer golden opportunities for the
manufacturers with experience and
capital to exploit their usefulness.
Mineral springs of health giving wa
ter without superior anywhere are
to be found, and only lack the neces-
sary publicity and business like man
agement to bring owners magnificent
profit. The desired developments
are fast taking place and no state can
show greater progress than Mississip-
pi in the past few years. Money is
being invested in manufacturing as
well as farming and our. people with
surplus capital are willing to invest
side by side with experienced and
competent men in enterprises of mer-
it. For the man with energy, enter
prise and capital, there is a cordial
welcome awaiting him and the assur-
ance given that every assistance will
be rendered laudable undertakings.
Desirable citizens are ever welcomed
in Mississippi"
Some time since the announcement
was made that Aberdeen would in
the near future take up the project
of putting in factory for the manu-
facture of handkerchiefs. The mat
ter has been taken up as announced
and capital raised to put in the fac
tory which will manufacture hand
kerchiefs, suspenders and a general
line of notions. While this may seem
a small business to engage in, it is
really one of the largest. An enor-
nous quantity of such articles are
used and why not make them here in
the south and quit sending our money
to the New England states for them.
We have the crude material, the labor
and above all, the market. May sue
cess attend Aberdeen s venture.
Last Friday was the date of Pas
cagoula's s great deep water celebra-
tion. A large number of prominent
people were on hand and inspected the
advantages offered by the harbor at
that place. The Frisco, and probably
other roads, are said to be interested
in improving the harbor and getting
lines of road into the port. Great in
terest is being taken in the matter and
financiers who know good thing
will likely take the project up and put
it through. There is plenty of room
for two ports on Mississippi's s sea
coast and Scranton offers the field for
one of them. Gulfport already has
the other one located. Great things
are in store for the people of the Gulf
coast of Mississippi.
There is great change for the bet
ter coming over Mississippi towns
and the friends of progress and pros
perity will find much satisfaction
therein. In towns where a few years
since it was impossible to get any
kind of an enterprise on foot, the peo-
pie fall over each other to get in at
the present. There is no way to even
estimate the development that will
be shown IN the next few years. This
is only the dawn of new era of bet
ter things.
The farmers of Tippah county have
organized club and propose making
it a business organization conducted
along business lines. The merchants,
professional men ETC., have their reg
ular bodies and why not the farmers,
who have more to gain by such organ
izations than any one else. This club
is organized in a county that should
pay attention to trucking and we hope
to see an interest taken in the matter
so soon as the railroad facilities will
