large town or city Il necessary for the
diYiduaI manufacturing plants can be
built almost anywhere. Il you own
water poweEs get what It is worth be-
fore letting II SO.
Alderman Will begin trucking on =
small scale. this season. An expert.
enced man has been employed to SUI
peryise the planting and cuitivating,
as wellsas the gathering OF the crops.
Success this year will insure 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
q census to see how fast she is grow
ing. It 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 Gintown
where local bank paid for 100 sub
scriptions to the Hot Times, the home
paper, and sent them to its patrons
for year. It 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
erosity 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 il there is mnre 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.
Corinth7 has always had the reputa-
ton of enforcing the existing laws
with strlngency, 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 IL 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be repealed, not allowed to be broken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 enforcem ent.
Result OF "Seeiny Double"
1T is remarkable how the after ef-
feet Of too much strong drink will in
fiuence different men" said Cornelius
Gardiner. Usually when man
drinks so much that he sees double
the remembrance of that fact doessnot
worry him the next iay. He consid-
ers 1t as sort of joke. and is inclined
to boast Of it. NIT man today,
though, on whom it had a most re-
markable effect. He Is an actor whom

a few months ago ma Red very pret-
ty girl, to whom he is absolutely de-
voted. Never was msr more in love
than he is with his wife. His only
fault is that once in a great while he
stays out with the boys and takes a
little more than is good for him.
When l met him recently he looked
very worried almost distracted. 1t
was also evident that he had a little
hang over from the previous night

answered.
