One of kflssissippi's Assets.

There are few, II any, states in the
South which have made greater strides
in general prosperity of late years than
has Mississippi. The people OF that
State now have every reason to be
proud of their achievements and hope
full of the future. They are happy and
content and would not change their CON
dition and prospects for those Of any OF
their neighbors. Many reasons have
been given for the Improvement of con-
ditions in Mississippi. Some writer's
have argued that the great agricultural
opportunities have been the chief in
fluence towards development; others
that industrial advantages in Missis'ip-
pi are more widely recognized away
from home by capitalists and desirable
| homeseekers; while not n few claim u
high respect for law and ordor and bot
ter educational facilities have been a
potent factor in the up-bulIding Of the
State and tho encouragement of enter
prise oil along the line.
1t is true that all of these influences
have contributed to the general good
and at the same time developed pub
lie spirit and a State pride which are
bearing fruit. But there is at least on'
