Lands Are Advancing.

Land will never again be as low In
price in the State of Mississippi as at
present. The world is just now begin
ming to realize the value of our lands
and the remarkably low price at which
they can be purchased. The price is
advancing now and will contiue to do
so for some time to come. The great
advantages of the state will still stim-
ulate the removal of more families who
are seeking homes where they are ably
to buy and have the facilities of MAX
ing a good living for their labor.
Don't sell large bodies to syndicates at
starvation prices. Get what it is
worth and try to sell to homeseekers.
