ton of the State, and a few in the
Northern. While the proximity of a
large town or city Is necessary for the
success of an electric power plant, in
dividual manufacturing plants can be
built almost anywhere. If you own
water power, get what 1t Is worth be-
fore letting it go.
While a round dozen large brick fac
tories were organized and put in opera
ton in the State last year, several
times that number of private plants
were built, and still there Is never
ending demand that the plants cannot
well supply. This rs an indication
that more substantial buildings are be.
ing erected than ever before and more
of them.
Indianola has organized board Of
trade and will make an organized eff.
fort for the towns advancement. Good
hustlers have been placed in charge.
and it is expected that matters in this
thriving delta town will be given
great impetus. 1t is already growing
fast.
The report CT the superintendent Of
Senatobia's municipal light and water
plant is very gratifying to the citizens
of that place. 1t is doing splendidly
and will prove a good investment
Greenwood still continues the agita-
ton for an electric railway, and now
believes that it will be in operation by
fall There is no accounting for what
Greenwood will and can do when the
people become thoroughly aroused tc
the necessity of the thing.
Alderman will begin trucking on
small scale this season. An expert.
enced man has been employed to SUI
pervise the planting and cultivating.
as we'll as the gathering of the crops.
Success this year will insure a much
larger planting next, and with the pre-
cautions taken, there seems to be no
reason why the experiment should not
prove success.
Gulfport is busily engaged in taking
a census to see how fast she is grow
ing. 1t seems that it has been but
little more than a year since the in
habitants were enumerated, but then
the city is growing SO fast that fine
showing will no doubt be made at this
time also.
A most commendable piece of work
has been reported from Guntown
where a local bank paid for 100 SUBJ
+Io lot he
paper, and sent them to its patrons
for year. 1t will prove good invest
ment for both the bank and the paper.
A town is largely judged away from
home by the appearance of the local
papers, and this piece of business gen
crosby on the part of the Guntown
bank will be of benefit to the paper.
Then, too, the prosperity and business
of the town is largely the work OF the
paper, so if there is more business for
the town there will, as a matter of
course, be more business for the bank.
So the action of the bank in question
was a good business move. 1t is now
feared that a large number of newspa-
pers will want to move to Guntown.
Corinth has always had the reputa-
ton of enforcing the existing laws
with stringency, and has come to the
front recently with another order of
enforcement that causes some to COM
plain. Laws are made to be enforced,
and if the people do not like them or
believe them to be unjust, they should
be repealed, not allowed to be broken
with impunity. The officers Of Corinth
are doing exactly right in strictly en-
forcing the law as it appears in the
books. The greatness of our common
wealth is founded upon law and pre-
served in its enforcement.
