to believe that ere long it's permanent

| The trust again advances the prices
o. broom corn and the price of brooms
must advance accordingly. This is
necessary article in every home and
it is to be hoped that ere long Missis-
fippi will raise the corn and manufac-
tire every broom used in the State.
WCodville has a factory under con-
structlon for the manufacture of
brcoms. The farmers of Wilkinson
county can raise as good corn as any
section of the Union, and when lnis
factory is in operation what care they
for the trust and the price of brooms?
This is sensible suggestion for our
farmers and business men. Some may
say that the average farmer don't
knew how to handle and cure the corn.
Admitting this to be fact, if CON-
munity would plant few acres for
each member 1t could afford to employ
an expert to manage the whole crop.
A man of this kind could go from field
t. field and advise as to the manage
ment of all. There are ways and means
provided for all things, the culture of
broom corn not excepted.
Not all the prosperity in the State |
can be found in the towns and cities |
bv any means. The farmers are pros.
perIng in proportion to the town peo-
pie. What is to the interest of one is
also to the interest of the other A
fair COP and good prices for the prod
utt have put the farmers on a solid
basis. The farms are being gotten in
better condition, more stock is being
raised, improved implements being
bought, better wagons and buggies,
and, to take it all in ALL the general
condition is very satisfactory to all
Laurel is building a foundry and
machine shop, which enterprise is
made necessary by the large amount of
in that section, and the de-
mand for ready means of repairs
without the attendant delay in sending
to shops in the cities Then, too, the
Laurel people will keep the money
paid for repairs at home. These ma
chine shops, while they do not en-
ploy large number of men, what
they do employ get good wages and
arc generally desirable class of citi-
zens.
AS education is the basis upon which
| commonwealth builds, Mississippi
seems to be laying a splendid founda-
ion for building boom. On top of
he immense amount of money ex-
pended upon free schools, hardly
week passes that not one or more pri
rate school Is chartered. This goes to
prove that our people have the proper 6
appreciation for the fundamental work
o build a great commonwealth.
Work will soon be begun upon the
.ew 100000 deaf and dumb institute
t Jackson. 1t will be erected upon
tate property out west of the depot. {
he location is an admirable one for
re institute. Twenty-Five thousand I
GLARS appropriated for purchasing I
tie will be turned back into the State |
yoasury. 6
