The Mississippi Corn and Cotton
Carnival is already exceeding the
greatest expectations of the promot-
ers. The old capitol building where
the fair will be held is certain to prove
too small and the management is now
arranging for the rent of large num-
Der OF tents to accommodate the ex-
hibits already promised and being
gotten together. An opportunity will
be given every man in Mississippi to
visit Jackson during this event and
see what the people in other portions
OF the state are doing and how they
are doing it. This is a good school
and the man who would keep abreast
of the times should begin now to make
arrangements to attend Too few of
our people know what is being done
by his neighbors. A meeting where
experiences can be exchanged and
suggestions made ought to be worth a
great deal. The best speakers on
subjects pertaining to farming and
stock raising will be on hand and adj
dress those who are interested. I'M
proved machinery will be on exhibi-
tion and its operation demonstrated.
Fertilizer manufacturers will show
just what their wares contain and to
what purposes it is especially adapted.
Successful truck raisers will tell how
they raise such splendid crops and
give pointers to those who would be
likely to give the business a trial.
The Carnival viii be to the farmer
what the institute is TO the teacher
and not one who can possibly do so
should miss it. The railroads will give
rate of one fare plus 25 cents for
the round trip and to those living
within 100 miles Of Jackson special
trains will be run az lower rate than
this. Some of the. "Pike S" attrac-
tions at the Fair at st. Louis are be-
ing arrange for and there will be
plenty to amuse those looking for
amusement. The old race track back
Of the old capitol is being put i'll con-
di;ion and there will be some racing
for those who enjoy that exhiliarat-
ing sport. Every effort for the COM
fort of the visitors will be made and
when the gates close on the las. day
it is desired that the people of Mis-
sissippi win know each other better,
as well as. cur boundless resources
and advantages brought before good
people seeking homes.
Farming is highly respectable
occupation. While it is probable
that large number of the college
youths may think different when he
energies with his sheep skin, but the
facts are there just the same. In
this latter day the professional man
when he has atta d so0ething of
a competency and desires Q rest up
a spell from the ardlcus duties and
strenuous life of the city, buys
arm and settles down to true living.
The multi-millionaires of the East
nearly all own farms and spend por-
ton of the year thereon. Men who
make the most brilliant records in life
are with few exceptions reared on the
farm, the early training especially fit
ting them for the exacting conditions
cf a successful career. The advice Is
often given, Hstick to the farm" and
it was never more opportune than al
the present time. The wealth of Mis-
sissippi is today on the farm and will
be more largely so in the future. Our
lands are becoming more valuable ev-
cry day and that is only the begin
ming of what is in store for the fu-
ture. So, "stick to the farm.
A lareg batch of Italian laborers
have been carried to Newton for use
in grading the M. J. & K. c. railroad.
They are taking the place of negro
labor which is very hard to get and
the outcome of the experiment will
be watched with great interest by all
who are interested in the labor ques-
ton. Some kind Of labor is necessary
to take the place of negroes who are
getting to be SO uncertain and worth
less that they can't be depended upon
