vide the city with a park and a band to
furnish concerts in the same. Jackson
has a first-class band that gives two
free concerts a week, one in each Of
two parks, and they are very enjoyable
occasions during the hot summer
months. Every progressive town
should furnish music and recreation
for the inhabitants who are not able
to get away to a summer resort. While
the scheme will require a small out
lay of cash, it is money well spent,
and once tried will be abandoned with
| great reluctance.
The shipments of truck from Crys-
tai Springs will be something like one
fourth short of that of last season.
Six hundred cars have been forwarded
up to this time, against 915 on the
same date last year. However, the
crop is a little later. and the total diff
ference will only amount to about one
fourth less. While not so profitable as
last year, the announcement is made
that the people of that thriving COM
munity have pocketed neat sums Of
profit for the years work. l..
The farmers institutes to be held
this summer are attracting a great
deal Of attention. and many communi-
ties not heretofore interested will have
them this year They are undoubtedly
OF benefit to the farmers, and the fact
that more attention is being paid them
from year to yea speaks we'll for the
intelligence and energy being dis
played by the agricultural classes of
Mississippi.
The truckers should not be-, and are
not, discouraged by the u~nfavorable
season for their business. Trucking
is bound to have a few set-backS, or
all would abandon cotton and go into
the business. Those engaged in the
business for any length of time are
always prepared for the troubles that
come to this. the same az all pursuits.
Be of good cheer and arrange to over.
come the difficulties next year.
Ripley and Aberdeen have recently
organized business leagues to aid in
the work of development for their re-
spective towns. 1t was not many years
back that Mississippi towns did not
seem to care whether they grew and
fOurished Or not, but things are differ
ent at present. The town without a
business organization is fast becoming
an exception instead of a rule. Our
people are taking on more progressive
ideas and hustling for everything good
In sight.
An exchange says: eff you want to
c~04 ,;ah o0oaA 70 NicciCCinni IF Won
want to make a living, come to Mis-
sissippi. Mississippi is such a splen-
did State that those who work are
sure to succeed, and those who don't
work make a living in spite of them
selves. No one ever heard of a per-
son starving to death in Mississippi"
All of which is practically the truth,
and nothing but the truth.

Special agents of the United States
government visited McComb City a
few days since with the avOwed pur-
pose of studying conditions down there
and rendering aid in lettering agri-
cultural conditions. This movement
on the part of the government is thank
fully received. There is an opportu-
nifty to improve the conditions being
investigated. and it is to be hoped
that something tangible will result.
The Chautauqua at Gulfpo-t is in
full blast this week. and on the 18th
the Crystal Springs Chautauqua will
open and run until the 18Th. Both
places have prepared excellent pro-
grams, and a few days can be spent
proftably at either or both.

arranged to build a ffrst-class opera

tated. and success will ultimately
crown the efforts of her people.

Verona, in Lee county, reports the
organization Of a $4,000 company for
the manufacture of brick and tile.
Splendid clay abcu1ds in that vicinity,
and the project should prove a great
success.
While the cotton mills in Mississippi
have been doing nicely, not a new one
has been built in several years. Ma

local people and will be placed in the
hands of experienced men as superin-
tendents and managers.
