~ H. Z. BLAKESLE, Jackson, Miss.

The State Business League at its an
nual meeting held in jackson two
weeks since endorsed the creating Of
state department Of agriculture and
immigration. The demand for such a
department is growing daily and it is
only matter Of time until such
move will be consumated. Other states
have had this department for some
time and find it well worth the money
expended. Every state with large
quantities of undeveloped land and re-
sources requiring attention should
maintain such an institution. The in
crease in taxable values and general
prosperity will more than pay the ex-
pense several times. It is getting time
for Mississippi to adopt later day
methods and go after business like the
older states Of the union.
The sale Of $4,000 pounds of wool
in one lot by party in Ocean Springs
not long since again brings to the
front the probability of Mississippi
coming to the front as sheep raising
country. There is no reason why sheep
raising should not prove profitable.
There are thousands Of acres Of land
especially adapted to stock raising
that can be had ckeaply and the mild
winters requiring little feed to bring
stock through, is big item in our ia
vor. If sheep raising pays in the
northwest, it should pay even better
here. Some day our people will be
employing a patent kicker because
they did not fall into this business
long ago. -'t..srs.t-..a.~

AN OLD JOKE MADE TRUE.
Among the Members of
Opera Chorus.

The old jokes about the anti
guilty of the ballet girl have gone
out of fashion, and ii is not likely
that they will be revived now that
the ballet has become SO much less
important than ii used TO be. The
show girls who figure in contempt
raneous musical pieces are, as a
rule, too good looking to admit of
any jokes on that subject. SO the
reality of the situations existing
in some of the comic opera cho-
ruses is for that reason more inter
esting, says the Chicago Inter
