That the conveniences OF life are not
/ all confined to the towns and cities has
been demonstrated by our friend, r. p.
Wright of Leake county, living twenty
miles from the railroad. MIR. Wright
is model farmer and has all the con-
veniences Of the city at his country
home. BY request he gives the follow
ing description of his place:
"In compliance with your request
will give a short description of my
waterworks way out here in the coun-
try, twenty miles from any railroad. 1
also send You photo of windmill and
tank. This outfit furnishes all of the
water we want. We have trough in
the horse lot that holds ten barrels of
water with hoat valve to it so that
when one bucket of water is taken out
another comes in without any help.
we have sink in the store room and
hydrant and bath room fitted with
$40 bath tub, hot and cold connections
a hydrant at the front porch, thence a
few rods to the store where another

two sons houses, where they have all
the water they want. All supplied from
fifty-barrel tank on a twenty-foot |
tower. We are accorded the distinction |
of having one of the best country stores |
besides the waterworks al |
ready described. We have first-class
plate glass front with ten sidelights,
making 1t light and airy in the summer
and warm and light in the winter. We
have nice farm and lots of real con-
venlenceS, such as any farmer can
have. | started as cheap as anybody
could, my stock in trade being two
hands to work with and the poorest
land IN the country roundabouts. So
only demonstrate to a certainty what
can be accomplished right here in the
interior of grand old Mississippi. We
are thinking of putting in electric lights
and be a town right. Say, we don't
nave to move to town to have good
hings; we've got 'em out here"
And Mr.. Wright is sure enough sur
by good things. He began at
he ground and built up His land
vas poor at one time but is good now
md making large crops. He has the {
of town at his country
lone and is loved and respected by his '
leighbors. Who can say that they are |
better or more happily situated than .
Ir. Wright? l
Will H. Woods, NJ. D., secretary of S

rn Cotton Association, upon his return a
rom meeting of the executive com
littee at Hot Springs, Ark, had the
blowing to say:
