mississippi is at last awakening to
the Importance Of properly advertis.
ing her wonderful resources to Che
world, Here is sensible article from
the Yazoo Sentinel anent the subject
I'VE are encouraged to believe that
Mississippi is about to enter upon a
practical and energetic campaign for
immigration. The commercial and in
dustrial organizations of the state, the
press as with one voice, and the Great
er Mississippi Association, all earnest
ly advocate systematic, intelligent
and aggressive movement to bring de-
sirable new corners within our Dor
ders in order that the vexed labor
question may be settled now and for
ever. AS the experience Of western
states that have built themselves up
through immigration has proved, one
OF the chief factors in inducing immi-
grafton is carefully prepared descrip-
tive hterature-"b boom literature" if
you please. 1t is important that an
abundance Of such matter be printed
In Mississippi's behalf and that it tell
the truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth about section of coun-
try that is unsurpassed for the rich
ness Of its soil and the other and man
Hold advantages which it possesses.
1t must be specific and exhaustive in
telling the world about the temperate
winters and summers, the equable eli
matte conditions, the exceptional
healthfulness, the pure artesian wa
ter, and the numerous other things
which good people will insist on know
ing before they decide to cast their
fortunes with us. Thousands Of de-
sirable immigrants have been deferred
from making their homes in this splen-
did section because they have been
told that the climate is intolerably hot,
that malarial or other epidemic dis
eases prevail, and that it is negroes
country. It will be revelation to a
lot Of the intended immigrants to
learn that the death rate is lower here
than in the Rocky Mountains, that our
Summers are cooler and that our win
teFs are omrs pleasant than in most
Of the states Of the north. They will
appreciate the fact that this is really
Che only white mans country in the
world and that the negro's presence
here is due to the fact that no better
class Of labor mas been procurable. All
Of these things will be interesting to
the people Of the great northwest who
could soon become reasonably rich by
the intelligent cultivation Of the rich
est lands in the world. Advertising
Mississippi is task in which we are
all vitality interested. Are you doing
your share Of it7 The above article
is along the lines which the writer has
been contending for sometime and
for the purpose outlined by the Sen
tinel was the Greater Mississippi As
ISOLATION formed. A health bulletin
showing the extreme healthfulness of
the state has been gotten out and
thousands Of them distributed where
they will do good. The other matters
specified will be taken up later on.
The earnest and energetic cooperation
of the newspapers and all people who
have the best interests Of the state at
heart is respectfully solicited.
The Summit Sentinel describes a Gu
cumber recently left at that office as
follows: There is now on exhibition
at the Sentinel office wonder in the
vegetable line something, the like of
which We believe has never been pro-
ducd before. It is the hugest of all
the huge cucumbers, the .dady' of
them all, and in the absence Of bet
ter name we dubbed it Jumbo for
truly tits a jumbo in proportions.
The seed was accidentally procured by
DR.. FL. X. Butler Of this place, while
he was visiting in Louisiana last year,
and was raised in his garden, being
watched by several Of our citizens as
it grew to maturity. Now. listen
This cucumber weighs exactly %
pounds, is q inches long and meas
ures 81 IL inches in circumference at
the largest part. We intend to send
it to the Mississippi exhibit at the
