The Howerton Brothers at Gun
town in Lee county report an excep-
tionally profitable season with their
peach crop. They bave shipped a
great many ears and realized excellent
prices. Over 100 people were required
to handle the crop and the enterprise
is one worthy of mention. Fruit
from this orchard always demands
the top-notch price on the Northern
markets, going to show that North
Miss. is truly the home of the Elberta
peach. They will continue t. enlarge
the business from year to year, and
in little while longer will be shipping

The investigation of method fol
putting up syrup for the market made
by this departement during the past
few months has not brought very
ready response from the Northern end
of the States Ivhere sorghum is the
principal cane led. The appended
letter is of especial interest as II
treats of the care of sorghum, which
wheh properly handled, is an excell-
eft table syrup. While it would not
bring so much on the market as syrup
made from ribbon cane, there is every
reason to believe that if it was put
up ia cans the grower could find
market at profitable prices for his
produce. Georgia cane is sold all over
Mississippi and it is compound
made from practically the same cane
as grown in North Mississippi. If
our people would put theirs up
hot and without processing, it vi
undoubtedly sell for profitable price.
If there are those who wish to try t,
special attention will be given the
matter by the dcpartelnent and mar
ket found for it. Mr.. w. Jenner
Brown Of Cofeville writes as follows
" Seeing your request in the Grena-
da Sentinel for information relative
to the making and keeping of molas-
ses, will give my experience. To make
good, clear syrup with a pleasant flavor
free from trash, small specks and
without the strong taste so common
to sorghum molasses, it is necessary

straining be done, Tin fact, the more

81 have been using a heavy one

AN EpITOME OF THE NEWS

Throughout the State During tbs
Past Week and Reviewed In Brief
For Our Readers
Unusual Features.

The killing Of Frank Mullins, Il
prominent farmer Of Copiah county,
by his thirteen-y -year-old son, Luther,
which occurred while Mullins was
beating his wife, is one of the most
unusual homicides which has occurred
Ia this State for several years.
Further details from the scene of
the killing are to the effect that Mul-
Inns, when not in his cups, was one OF
the most highly respected citizens Of
county, and is well connected, his
brother being a member of the board
Of supervisors. 1t is alleged that there
had been several previous instances
when, in a state of intoxication, Null
Inns ohastised his wife, and the boy
interfered in behalf of his mother.
His resentment finally reached the
point where he killed his own father.
Mullins it is said, was previously
married to a woman who belonged to
one of the best families in Claiborne
county, named Shaw, and he treated
her so, it is claimed, that, after her
death, the family erected a monument
and placed only her maiden name
thereon.

Sheep raising In the state of Mis-
sissippi is APP roftable industry under
favorable conditions wlEezh are largely
under the control Of the people in
any particular comm 7. Mention
has frequently been Il in this de-
partment of instances where indiyid-
| uals have made money from their
sheep. Interest is increasing in some
sections OF the state, with a thin-
ming out of the dogs, it will again
come into favor as means of profit.
f. F. Krohn, of Harrison county some
time ago wrote the Biloxi Herald as
follows, concerning sheep raising in
Harrison, jackson and Hancock:
"Ysurs to hand and contents noted.
| am glad of the opportunity you
accord me. / have always been aux-
ious to say something for my part of
creation. I consider it one OF the
finest places for sheep raising in the
state. Sheep raising at large among
hogs, dogs and bare burned woods
will average from 80 to 35 lambs to
the 100 old sheep, rams, withers and
ewes, where if the woods were kept
rough and the hogs and dogs kept
from among them there would be
yield of at least so or go lambs to the
100 old sheep. / consider the burning
of the woods the principal drawback
to our Sheep culture.
"We have not sold our wool this
year. Last year the clip averaged
$1.l3 to the head. Jackson county
sells at least 10000 pounds annually,
Harrison about the same and Ham
cock about 10000 pounds. Tom Ram
sey, Wes Ramsey, Gage O'Neal, Rube
Byrd, Henry Havens, Bill Rouse and
Sarden Ramsey ale the principal
sheep owners [ know in Hancock. Of
course 5here are many others but I
am not acquainted with them.
q think Hancock IS about as good
sheep range as jackson or Harrison.
AS to the territory, there is plenty
in the three counties, though 1 think
there is more in Jackson county than
there is in either Harrison or Han
cock"
Hattiesburg the "magic city" OF
the piney woods section, IS experience
ing wonderful period of prosperity
these summer days. A large number
of palatial business buildings are un-
der construction, buildings that would
look well in Memphis or New Orleans.
Another extensive educational insti-
tuition is beinr added to the city's
already splendid advantages In this
line. The Mississippi Central's i'm

Another Industrial plant in this

thereby double the number of wage
and the amount paid out in

the future growth of Perth Amboy

new Industries.
The large Weber factory, which was
