tirring drama, The Sign Of the Cross, "

AN EXPERIMENTAL
STATION IN DELTA
A Chance to Have Il located In
letIOre County.
LIBERAL OFFER BY MR.. WILSON
Makes Some Practical Suggestions
about Location. Board OF Trustees
to Meet IN November.

The Board OF Trustees Of the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College will meet
during tho laLtor part of Noyem' or, and
take their first step toward locating the
delta experimental farm, which was
was authorized to be established By the
Legislature. The trustees some months
ago located the experimental station in
the northwestern section OF the State.
This farm, according to the bill Great
ing it, must be located in what il known
as the Mississippi and Yazoo Delta
region.
Hon, q. A. Wilson has taken active
steps to have the station located In Le-
fore County, and has offered to give
900 toward the purchase of the 200
acres necessary.
A reporter Of The COMMONWEALTH
met Mr.. Wilson last week and asked
him as to the status Of the matter. Mr..
Wilson said that he thought 1t would be
better To have the station located on
the State farm, where the State already
has plenty Of the very kind of land nee
ossary for the station, and he believed
that after the Board of Trustees care
fully considered the matter, they would
recommend delaying the selection of n
site until the next meeting OF the Leg
islaturo, when the law could be changed
to permit the State farm to be used
Mr. Wilson stated, however, that he
stands by his original proposition to
give a thousand dollars to have 1t To-
Gated in Lefore, and IL tho Board de-
cides TO locate tho station in November,
it Is altogether probable that Lenore
will stand the best chance Of securing
the prize,

fences it has been put to by its small
quarters, this bank makes wonderfully
good showing and goes to predict
bright future for this institution.
The bank has paid in capital stock

which is now under course OF construc-
tion, when finished, will be one OF the
finest in this end of tho State. As soon
as the work is finished this concern can

ATFURNITURE FACTORY
Many Applicants Received During the
Past Two Weeks.

Two weeks ago THE COMMONWEALTH
contained the story Of the purpose Of
the Wcems-L Lock wood Furniture Co., to
establish training school for intelligent
and ambitious young men to learn the
furniture business, beginning at the
bottom and being carried through every
department Of the business.
Secretary Lockwood, in conversation
with a COMMONWEALTH man Tuesday
stated that from all sections of the
State applications are being received
by the company, and that they are con-
ing in at the rate of about twenty day.
This not only gives the reader an idea
Of the extent and scope Of the circula-
tion Of THE COMMONWEALTH, but is evil
dence OF the fact that the young men Of
Mississippi are evincing a desire to en-
ter manufacturing pursuits, field
which offers exceptional advantages in
all sections Of the South, where manu-
featuring enterprises Of various kinds
are yet in their infancy.
