cost in the neighborhood of eight mil

akin to the Oregon, which took a lead

C~ervera's Spanish fleet just outside
the harbor of Santiago. While it will

campaign this year for factories, and

Dewey, one of the new towns on
the M, J. & K. C. railway, and located
in Chickasaw county, is beginning to
show a great growth, ever before the
crack of the new road was laid.
Great progress is reported in build
ing residences and stores. The eau
cassian, by G.. A. Robertson, has be-
gun publication, and proposes to let
the world know Of Dewey. All de-
nominations are preparing to build
churches, and school buildings, will
be erected at once. It Is in a good
section of country, and will, no doubt,
ere long be one of the best business
points on the NJ, ]. & K. C.
The Columbus Progressive Union,
an industrial organization that brought
to the city something like $500, 900
worth of factories last year, is to be
revived and an effort made to do
equally as much during the present
year. Columbus made an excellent
record last year and is becoming one
of the most prominent manufacturing
cities of the State. There is still plenty
of work for an active industrial or
ganization to do, and the city should
not let the Progressive Union die By
any means.
West Point Is happy in the contem.
plation of two new railroads. One is
the Pensacola road for which several
charters have been granted, and more
than one turned down, and h other
is an extension of the Illinois Central
from that point to the coal fields of
Alabama. Either of them would prove
!, a valuable acquisition to that progress
sive city on the p~rairies of East
Mississippi. 1t is to be hoped that
both will be built.
