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 II Is worth be-
fore letting 1t go.
While round dozen large brick fac
tories were organized and put In opera
tion in the State last year, several
times that number of private plants
were built, and still there is a never
ending demand that the plants cannot
well supply. This IS 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 IL Is expected that matters in this
thriving delta town will be given a
great impetus. 1t is already growing
fpst.
'qhe report Of the superintendent OF
Senatobia's municipal light and water
plant is very gratifying to the citizens
Of that place. 1t is doing spendidly
and will prove good investment.
Greenwood still continues the agita
tion for an electric railway, and now
believes that 1t will be in operation by
fall There Is no accounting for what
Greenwood will and can do when the
people become thoroughly aroused to
the necessity Cf the thing.
Alderman will begin trucking on a
small scale this season. An expert
enced man has been employed to SUI
pervise the planting and cultivating
as well 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 nc
reason why the experiment should not
prove a success.
Gulfport Is busily engaged in taking
a census to see how fast she Is grow
ing. II seems that 1t has been but
little more than a year since the in
habitants we're enumerated, but theT
the city is growing so fast that fine
showing will no doubt be made at this
time also.
A most commendable piece of worl
has been reported from GuntowT
where a local bank paid for 100 sub
scriptions to the Hot Times, the hom'
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 loca
papers, and this piece of business gen
erosity on the part Of the Guntowl
bank will be OF benefit TO the paper
Then. too, the prosperity and bushes
of the town is largely the work Of tn
paper, so if there is more business TO
the town there will, as n matter q
course, be more business for the banl
So the action of the bank in questlo
was good business move. 1T Is no'
feared that large number of newsps
pers will want to move to Guntown.
Corinth has always had the reputi
ton of enforcing the existing law
, with stringency, and has come to tn
front recently with another order
enforcement that fuses some to con
plain. Laws are made to be enforced
=, and if the people do not like them
; believe them to be unjust, they shoul
be repealed, not allowed to be broke
with impunity. The officers of Corint
are doing exactly right in strictly el
forcing the law as it appears in I'll
, books. The greatness of our common
wealth is founded upon law and pr
served in its enforcement.
