MEN AND MATTERS
-MISSISSIPPIAN-

within the next few years the hard
wood timber industry in the delta will
rival the pine forests of the Southern
section of the State in the volume of
its lumber traffic. Better still is the
tendency to manufacture it into fin
ished articles right here in the vicin-
ity where the timber is grown. Green
wood, for instance, has one Of the
largest furniture factories in the South
and the furniture which it manufac-
lures is of the highest grade And the
mill is making money for its stock
holders. Several other large factories
are projected in various parts of the
delta and the chances are that a num-
Der OF them will be built within the
year.

The Ocean Springs Progress relates
an experience that others have had, in
the following vein: "One thing that
jars the newspaper man is to discover,
after he has blown his head off try
ing to discourage people from send
ing to catalogue houses, that some fell
lows whom he has been trying to
boost, are getting their stationery
from some medicine house or Cheap
John concern. This shakes his con-
fidence in his fellow men and causes
him to wonder if he has not been
little too fresh"

During the past several weeks the

from the North and East who are

thousands of acres Of the finest hard
