A LITTLE MIXED.

| Our friend across the bay, who
edits the Biloxi Review must be a
little wrought over the coming con.
gressional election when he makes
the assertion that The PKosREss
supported Longino and Criz .lar
ing the last State campaign. W.
will say 10 the gentleman Of The
Review that at the zine of tn. Stat
election Cast yeaD the present edit
or of The PROGRESS was only an
employe, but supported Money and
Vardaman to the full extent Of hit
ability and can back his words b,
scores Of citizens.
We will further state to our es
teemed contemporary that The
PRoGREss was an ardent supporter
of Senator Money and did not take
any hand in the guberLstorial fight.
We are very sorry for our friend
the Review, but we must confess
the truth, that it will be badly, very
badly, defeated in the coming clcc-
lion, as Mr.. Bowers will carry the
District by an overwhelming ma
jority. He is the proper man rnn
nlng for the proper place and his
return to Congress IS as sure as we

MONEY IN FRUIT.

Fruit growing becomes more
popular industry each year, and
there is good reason Why it is SO.
a. each new adventure in that di>
ree4ion proves that there is mon-s
ey--good money in frnit raising.
This being the case. it is truly
no wonder that West Point Is be-
coming known az great shipping
center for vegetables and fruit Of
0: all kind. The asparagus crop,
which is abont all shipped, has
reached something above $500;
while the cropof strawberries which
is just now being harvested will
amount to several thousands Of
dollars. One man alone values his
strawberry crop at more than $4,000
while a number of smaller growers
will swell the amount to very
haudscme sum. After these crops,
there will be the bean and pea crop,
and later, pears, peaches and plums,
all Of which promise to be very
lucrative.
notwithstanding all this prospec'
tive supply, wc are reliably inform
ed thet the demand for these fruits
and vegetables will far exceed the
supply, and as a resnit thereof,
there is yet room for more good
farmers to engage in this lucrative
departure from the old method Of
farming.
1t is a conceded fact that the
truck growers generally have sup
ply Of cash on hand, and are a, tie
game time enjoying a good living
You seldom hear them complain Of
hard times.
It's unquestionably a profitable
industry, and as the demand for
these products calls for more labor>
ers in this particular field of agri-
culture, we see no reason why more
good farmers should not engage in
this class of labor and enjoy Its
gratifying results. Dixie Press.
