And whereas, it is a very common

Look to the Future.

Twenty years ago there were proba-
blv not more than ten factories in Mis-
sissippi. Now, there are some counties
with that number and charters for new
factories are being recorded every day.
There are few, if any counties without
at least one factory. What will be the
status Of the state ten years hence,
ever if it progresses no faster than at
present? There is N thing almost
certain: every county will have its oil
mill. its canning factory and its hard
wood factory. Many will have cotton
factories. carning mills and similar in
stitutions. Almost every small town
will have a bank; and merchants will
be doing largely a cash business. Our
farmers will have adopted entirely new
methods of farming; every neiGfibor-
hood will have its hay pres !; fruit and
vegetables will be among the principal
products of the soil, and stock raising
will be one Of our principal industries.

The Greenwood Commonwealth con-
graduates itself upon having just
completed a big order for printing for
a local banking institution, and adds
that it was the largest order Of the
kind ever placed with a local printing
establishment. This is as it should
be. Local Institutions should consid-
er it not only a duty but a pleasure
to patronizc the home printer, yet al
together too many Of them send their
work abroad, and in some Instances
the further the order goes the better
pleased they ecm to be. The litho-
graphers and metropolitan printers
come in for a large slice of the country
work that should, through local pride,
if for no other reason, so to the home
printer, provided, of course, that the
printing is executed, as The Common
wealth says this order was, up to the
highest standard. Grenada Sentinel.
