PAST AND PRESENT.

The town in Mississippi now without
an electric light plant, cotton compress,
or several factories, is considered behind
times and too insignificant for the estab-
lishment of blind tiger. A few years
ago such things were not dreamed of, and
none but the richest could afford these
modern movements. Ten years ago if
such thing had been proposed in Hat
tiesburg the people would have thought
that the man who suggested such an idea
had gone crazy, if he had not been born
an idiot, and the hogs which Dan McInnis
had in his hog lot located where the klon-
dyke hotel now stands would have jump
ed the fence and hunted for tall timber.
But all this has changed. All the small
towns except Vicksburg have water,works
systems, even including Meridian, and
electric light plants, etc., blind tigers and
factories of different kinds are springing
up all over the state.
New railroads have been the greatest
factor in bringing about this great pros
perity. Had it not been for new railroads
there would not be so many saw mills
there would not have be so many men en-
ployed at good salaries, and so much
money in circulation in the state. Out of
e'iS ~ saw Hills dlOIlS lIlC oull x ollip

should be something doing. -Hattiesburg

LARGE iNcREASEIN PROPERTY
VALUATION.

The total property valuation OF the
State for the year closed footed up at
the Controllers Office to nearly s33,
600, 900.
This Is the largest tax va.uatiop OF
Nevada since 1887, when it was over
$50, 600, 900.
For some years past the figures have
been crawling, up and next year with
the wealth of'our mines going into the
mills; the new railroads going through
ths State and the irrigation system
coming to the front, it will probably
pass the forty million mark.
II anyone doubts That Nevada Is on
the up grade, let these figures be stud
ied. Tue lowest notch was reached In
'96 when the valuation WAS little over
twenty three million.
We haye increased nearly ten mil.
lions in seven years. With the advan
