large contract OF cOllOH SDOOS 10 tnf
ma. This is Just what the writer has
been contending for a long time. The
more goods that go out labeled, Made
in Mississippi" the more dollars from
othr sections will be brought in here
for distribution. The people who raise
this cotton spend the money received
for It right here in Mississippi and
the people who manufacture Ii receive
the money from China and pay II 10
their employees who spend it in Mis-
sissippi So the money produced by
bale of cotton is spent here twice II
the cotton is manufactured here It
is a sensible conclusion that Missis.
sippi should manufacture all of the
cotton she raises, and it will be done
sooner or later
Tho magnificent record of Mssis.
sipp with reference to bank failures
only one in fifteen years is a source
Of qualification to every loyal citizen.
Not a State in the Union can equal
this: "a State. mind you. One Of the
Territories has mover had failure,
but no State can boast of as few as
one failure in the past fifteen years,
This speaks volumes for tho stability
Of our financial Institutions and the
caro- exercised in their management
1t might be we'll however, to not dc.
pend too much upon the next fifteen
years TO show up as well. With the
large number of banks now being or
ganized, and the great period OF pros.
perity being experienced. ii Is posi-.
bic that the people will overdo the
banking business, and there may be
some failures.
The Mobile & Ohio announces that
handsome depot with abundant ia
cililies 10 handle the increasing bus-
ness will be built at Tupelo TO replace
the ono recently destroyed by fire
Tho depot will be used for freight ex.
ciusively, but will be commodious and
mp to'date in every respect. Tupelo
is one of the States fast growing and
substantial towns and the Mobile &
Ohio railroad appreciates its needs by
supp yng them in q manner that ia
highly appreciated by the citizens.
There is no place for the kicker
and growler in Mississippi We need
five million boosters with determi-
nation to see the great State come
into her own. We possess great
many more enthusiasts now than a
few years since and the demand is
for more. Relegate the hard times
artist and professional grumbler to
the background where he belongs and
get the boosters in front. Then
things" will happen
Greenwood will organize a "15 900
Club" with the fixed and steady pur.
pose to have that many poeple inside
tae corporate limits when Uncle Sam
the Greenwood people go after that
number in their characteristic way
they will likely get them.
Lamar county is concentrating the
expenditure of 81 OOO on n new iail
and $4,000 on improvements of tbe
county roads. II is refreshing to note
the division of the 100000 worth of
mon TO spend S. 400 on the roads and
Sl50 900 on the Jail Lamar is undoubt.
odIy good county and needs roads
worse than iaiIs.
Mississippi has at the present sixty
establishments that bottle soda and
other temperance drinks. There is a
proposition to organize them into an
association and thereby enable them
To compete successfully with the trust
made products of the big outside
tutionally opposed to trusts. if II is
necessary 10 combine our local plants
for protection, let II be done.
