lOpes to accomplish by having them
Published. The author is a native Mis-
and hopes to stimulate in
listrial activity and the development
Fpf our grand old State along all legit
Inmate lines. That's ALL
The matter of an electric line to
sonnect the cities of our gulf coast
will not down, Some move is made
OWard the realization of that fond
.iream by the people down there every
lew weeks. For more than thirty miles
Alung the water front there is prac-
Eacally an uninterrupted town and the
EgcheFne appears to be feasible. 1t
PNnuld prove a convenient means of
communication between the citizens
Ind would no doubt be profitable in
f6Stment to any company that would

5ls wonderful corn has been prepared
And will be shown with the Mississip-

The most prominent exhibit in the
Hgricultural building at the st. Louis

Reference Is made to the colossal fig

Placed in the center of the building

broad commission and railroad au-
Iot'ties will decide on plans soon |

There are thousands of acres of poor
ID land through the central portion
Mississippi that seems to be espec-
~ adapted to the raising of these

Is anything else and now stands as
burden to the owners. If the angora

Jade a success, this same land would
worth many dollars where it is now

made to benefit thereby. All that
needed to bring us to realization
the profits to be derived from such
course, is for some one acquainted
