Advertising Columbus.

The Pictorial and Industrial
edition of the Colum bus Dispatch
just issued is one Of the neatest
in every line of the printing art
that has ever been printed in
Mississippi. But it is only a
sample of the fine work that it's
editor p. W. Maer is doing for
that city. COlum bus deserves
good newspapers and it has them,
always hus tling to make it a bet
ter town too. And we are dou bt-
full if Columbus would ever have
been where she now is in the
business world today if it hadn t
been for It's newspapers. .-TupelO
Review.
The Pictorial and Industrial
Edition of the Colum bus, Miss. J
dispatch is very handsome
newspaper and shows up the
resources and progress of Col
umbus in a striking and i'm
pressive manner The illustra-
tions are most excellent and the
write ups which accom- pany them
make a splendid exhibition for
the town and region which sur
rounds it. Columbus is one of
the best cities of it's size in the
South, and nowhere can one find
a higher standard of citizenship.

from all over the county that the
corr weevil is destroying the old
corn in the crib. In some in
stances now the corn is unfit for
horse feed. This is a terrible
calamity, as there is big lot of
old corn in the country and it
would have gone a long ways on
making another crop.
Sunday night at an early hour
this section of tire county wit
messed the most terrific storm we
have seen in muny years. A
continuous peal of thunder rolled
to and fro along the vaulted skys,
the rain fell in sheets and cover
lets and the vivid flash of light
ming lit UP the heavens till there
was hardly moments dark
ness. What damage this storm
has done the cotton crop remains
to be seen. The general opinion
Is that the crop will prove short
er than is expected. Mr.. T. K.
Swoope, who is vhe best Judge of
a growing crop of any farmer in
the prairie, says his crop will not
be over a third of last year $
yield and he has thirty acres that
will make bale per acre but the
balance Of his farm will take five
to twelve acres to make bale. !
Mr.. SwOOpe has recently built !
himself beautiful cottage on |
his farm and is proceeding to
make home life cOmfor table and !
happy on the farm. He says the
way for farmer to keep the |
town fever out of his family is to |
make home attractive. He show
ed me all over his house and | |
wager it is the most comfortable
and conveniently arranged of
any country home in the county.
By the way, Mr.. Swoope says
this model of a country home
was put up by Caledonia hill
billy" Mr.. Jim Curtis, Mr..
SwOOpe acting as architect and
superintendent. Mr.. woope
speaks of Mr.. Curtis in the high
est terms as mechanic, but any
man who lodges around Mr..

Last year when cotton was selling
for sixteen cents a pound the farmers
were warned by spinners aud all those
interested In six aud seven cents cotton
that England, France and Germany
would encourage the cultivation OF
the staple in their colonies. We were
told that in few years these coun.
tries would produce enough cotton to
go upon the markets rs serious com-
petitors with us, aud the throat was
not an idle one. The experiment has
been made, cotton has been planted AZ
extensively a. possible in those colon
les, but the result has been disap-
pointing. Cotton can be grown in
these countries but not successfully
and remuneratively. The first black
eve to the experiments is the differ
ence in price between the past and
present year because cotton at sixteen
cents is one thing and cotton at seven
and eight cents is another. People
who engaged In this pursuit expecting
to get from twelve GENTS up have been
completely staggered by the big slump
that has occurred.
Besides this great disappointment
in prices other great difficulties have
appeared which could not be sur
mounted, and it il now plan that the
South Wi, continue to be the real cot
ton country OF the world. Now this
being the case the Southern farmer
must understand that lie can regulate
the price. Big crops will always
mean low prices and financial dis
aster, limited acreage and conse-
quently moderate crop which will
invariably signify good, strong,
wholesome remuneration for the farm
or and a commercial prosperity that
we all so much desire and which the
country needs so very much. Avo-
