A large number of applications are
now being published and will come in
for approval and record in the next
few weeks. 1t would seem as the sum-
mer months come apace that the char
ter business is increasing instead of
decreasing, as would be expected.
Laurel comes to the front again
with ar increased amount of pros
perity as evidenced by recent events.
The Laurel Cotton Mills will increase
the capital stock from $225,000 to
$325, 900. The oil mill and fertilizer

Several new brick business houses
are under construction and the town
is fast becoming city.
The West Point business league, al
though reorganized only few weeks,
has landed large furniture factory

ton, but it will not be the last one
by any means. The town is alive to
the necessity of such an organization
and the benefits to accrue and will
| help the matter along in every way
/ possible.
The McConb City Journal crowds
lot of truth into the following lines:
"Thera is enough idle capital in Mis-
sissippi, if invested in industries, to
make it one of the great manufactur-
ing States Of the Union. The material
is here, too, and transportation facili-
ties will soon be all that could be de-
sired. The time for investment is

Alderman, in Choctaw county, is ex-
periencing a healthy growth these
spring days that is closely akin to a
boom. A new bank with capital
stock of $4,000 has been organized,
an oil mill and fertilizer factory is on
the programme and the new railroad
is fast approaching the town. There's
something good ahead for Alderman
sure.
Believe that we have the best State
in the Union and take some trouble to
make other people see it the same
way. There is work for the boosters
and nothing doing for the knockers.
"Push Mississippi without ceasing.
This is year wherein we have a
fine chance to Push Mississippi"
from every standpoint. 1t stands
every loyal EIississippian to get in the
push" and do his or her share of
the work.
i Grenada is what is commonly known
as a 'moniel town" and only lacks a
/ few gosahead citizens to give it place
in the front rank, which it deserves.
Men with money have to be shown
i wherein they should invest in manu-
featuring plants and that good divi-
dend will be paid on the money invest
ed. A progressive league or union is
a great stimulus to this work.

Sheep raising is carried on with
profit in some sections of the State
and it is strange that more of it is
not done. The climate and other sur
roundings are favorable. and those in
the business find it very profitable.
There are lands fit for little else that
i might be utilized in this way. w. r..
David president Of the board of super
j visors in jackson county, says that
j he took a fleece from sheep in each of
his fiocks and found them to average
1--WE pounds and three ounces. This
is not an unusual yield at all. It is
nroof that Ahaan raising should be
