amusements of a high class. There
is an opening for some enterprising

Increased attention is being given
the culture of pecans in Mississippi.
Northern capitalists have recently or
ganized 100000 stock company for
their propagation on a large scale at
Nugent, near Gulfport, and will plant
700 acres in trees. The following in
formation concerning the pecan indus
try will likely be of interest to per-
sons who contemplate going into the
business:
'sThe first question asked, is: How
soon will pecan trees begin to bearY
A seeding may be grated in Febru-
ary, and the following fall it will have
as many pecans as it had blooms on
the branch grated. Crafts or buds
will usually bear in four or five years
from two to ten pounds. At ten years
of age they will bear from rs to 100
pounds, and keep on increasing pro-
portionately through the years. Pc
can trees live to green old age.
Some of them in this state are from
100 to 200 years old, and out at Pc
can Hill there are numbers of them rs
years old. These trees would make
three saw logs each if they were fell
ed. The paper shell is different to the
ordinary pecan as thoroughbred stock
is superior to scrubs. Among the fine
varieties now on the market many of
them measure from one and one half
to two and a quarter inches in length
and from one to one and quarter
inches in diameter. The price of pc
cans ranges from ten cents to- $1.50
per pound according to size, and so
far short in the United States on its
nut crop that it imports $28,000,000
worth annually. 1t will be seen by
this, that overproduction is not liable
to occur in this country. Pecans are
the favorite table nut all over the
country, and for dressing turkey and
chickens, there is nothing to compare
with them. Some are talking of the
advisability of manufacturing a salad
out of the oil of pecans, and if this
is ever done, olive oil will no longer
be necessity save to those who can
not afford the luxury of pecan OIL"
Pecan orchards thrive and do well
in almost every section of Mississippi,
and experience has shown that there
is no better annuity than bearing
orchard to leave the widow and or
phans.

The statement concerning banks
recently made public by Auditor Hen
ry is a good one indeed from a f.
nancial standpoint. No state in the
union can show a healthier in
crease in banks and bank business,
which is the financial thermometer
that indicates the prosperity of
state. The comparative statement is
made with two years ago and shows
an increase in the number of banks
IN operation of 49 per cent, the COM
parative numbers being 264 against
1T. 81 new banks have been organ
lied in the short period of twenty
four months, or more than three and
one-half per month on an average.
The aggregate resources and habili-
ties are at present $57, 100000 against
$44, 100000 two years ago. This
item shows an increase in undivided
surplus was SO and 66 per cent re-
spectively. Other items show the fol-
lowing increase: loans and discounts,
SO per cent; overdrafts "a per cent;
bonds and warrants 25 per cent;
banking houses, furniture and fxtur-
es, 88 per cent; expenses and taxes
78 per cent; cash on hand IL per cent;
capital paid in SO per cent; surplus
sc per cent; undivided profits IS per
cent; other items in like proportion.
This statement shows that a large
number of community banks have
been organized for the convenience
of smaller towns and villages, the peo-
pie realizing the convenience and ne
cessity for such institutions. The gen.
general prosperity of the state will
no doubt show a corresponding, or
even a larger increase during the
next two wears

The writer has been getting togeth-
er for over year a set of stereopti-
can views representing the agricul-
tural, industrial and commercial re-
sources of the state and has succeed
ed in securing about $50 that make
an excellent showing for the country.
These views are at present being
shown In Illinois to farmers and
trucksters to show what the state has
to offer in the way Of advantages, by
one of the real estate men Of Ridg-
land. He will supplement his expla-
nation by the views and will Of course
make his representations more forci-
Bile and convincing. The desire is to-
get good white people who are willing
to work and with small capital to
come here and buy small tracts OF
land. They will build homes and be-
come citizens of the state, making
waste land produce wealth, both to
the owner and the state. The exper-
ience of number of sections has
demonstrated the worth Of immigra-
ton of this character. We need moro
such people.
About the middle of next month
Mobile will hold a big celebration
over the completion of the Mobile,
jackson & Kansas City railroad An
elaborate program is being prepared
and officials Of Alabama, Mississippi
and Tennessee will participate. While
this line has one terminus in Alabama
and the other in Tennessee, Mississip-
pi is undoubtedly entitled to the
greater portion of the jubilation. Only
a few miles lie in either Alabama or
Tennessee while Mississippi can lay
claim to nearly 400 miles of the road.
An immensely rich section of our
state is pierced and its wonderful re-
sources brought to development.
Towns are springing up as if by mag
ic along its route and the prices of
property have gone up with remarka-
BILE rapidity. Yes, Mississippi should
be in that celebration by handsome
majority.

Ripley still maintains the old
" First Monday" which was common
at all county sites in gone by days.
On this day the board of supervisors
meet for their monthly supervision Of
county affairs, bringing with them a
goodly number of interested people.
The day was centered upon for a gen.
eral time to visit the county site,
swap horses and talk over matters
in general, a semi-holiday. While the
custom has generally fallen into dis
use, Ripley maintains hers and the
crowds go there every "First Mon
day. and reassemble at the opening
of circuit court. The Sentinel sayss
eff you never witnessed a First
Monday in Ripley you should do so at
your earliest convenience. It's real
ly amusing to see the fellows having
fun on the Jockey yard and rushing
their donkeys around to see who
wants to swap and stick to it, The
writer has seen these days in Rip
ley, In Texas and other places. They
are occasions of good cheer and a
little business mixed that it is rev
GREETED are becoming obsolete.
To no class of citizens is due alb
the credit for the present prosperity,
that exists in Mississippi. Every man
has part to perform in the great
drama that Is ON the stage of ac-i
ton. Are you doing your partf IL
not, now is the time to begin. Let
every body know that you are proud.
that you are Mississippian. Tell
of the many good things we have to
offer when opportunity affords and if
the opportunities do not come with
sufficient frequency, make them. Sup
pose that one person in every thous-
and in the state would write a let
ter telling of the inducements we
had to offer good citizens, ard do
this each working day in the week.
It would mean an aggregate of near
ly 1000 letters per day or $4,000 for
the week. The result of month s
campaign of this character would
40 doubt be wonderful.
