Some people are SO afraid that
a newspaper man will publish
something that they don't want
to get out, that they want to
keep nearly everything from him
in the way CT prospective i'm
provements. The newspaper man
is as much interested in the ad,
vancement of his town as anyone
else, and is not going to divulge
something that he ought not to.
If he has sense enough to run a
paper Of any worth, he certainly
has some judgment about what
ought to be published, and is not
going to make public anything
that might injure the prospects
of a prospective enterprise.

Men may suggest and plan for
schemes for great improvements
but others it seems are necessary
to put them in execution; they
must see, or believe they do, the
profit to be realized from them.
We see this fully demonstrated
every day in minor matters and
in larger matters, such as the
building of different factories,
crnals and railroads. These
things we observe throughout
the country daily and annually.
Therefore the natural growrh
brings forth fruit and not the
forced or premature. Men will
build when they see proper.

Forget It All.

The following from an ex-
change is good adylce:
IF you would increase your
happiness and prolong your life.
forget your neighbor's faults.
Forget all the slander you have
heard. Forget the fault finding
and give little thought to the
cause which provoked it. Forget
the peculiarities of your friends
and only remember the good
no;n1s which make you fond of
them. Forget ali personal quar-
,,o1s or histories you may have
heard by accident, and which if
o,oated would seem one thouS-
and times worse than they are.
.Obliterate everything terrible
from Yesterday; start out with a
clean sheet today and write upon
= for sweet memories sake only
those things which are lovely
.nd lovable Thus YOU will make
life better worth living"

Spinners May Grow Cotton.

There seems to be some pros
pect that English spinners will
themselves become cotton grow
ers in the Southern States of
America, in order to meet the
gigantic trust to control prOduc-
tiOn which it is said Americans
are trying to form. A second
commission which it is invested
with fuller fower than the first,
will sail to the United States in a
few days, and it will have oppor.
uunities of Witnessing the pick
ling of cotton, process which
the former commission did not
see. The report of the first par
tvs investigation says:
eff plantations could be run
under splnner's orders, they
could have cotton ginned and
in a manner which would not
fail to have a salutary effect on
the efficiency, in these respects,
is as is we'll known, ilamentably
low. Considering the enormous
extent to which Lancashire de-
pends on cotton, 1t is time she
took steps to find out exactly the
facts about the cost and produc-
tion of her raw material, and
this she can only do by raising
cotton in those districts from
which she makes her largest
purchases.
1--WE believe that growing of
their raw material by English
spinners will not prove hazard
Gus, provided that competent
managers be appointed, suitable
land at reasonable prices acquir-
ed, and sufficient labor obtained.
We consider that these matters
can be satisfactorily arranged
and that, taking into account
the present price of cotton, this
is an exceptionally favorable op,
portunity for commencing such
undertaking. We strongly urge
that a committee should be ap-
pointed at once to consider the
advisibility of buying land. -

Mail Order Houses.

houses are flooding the country
with fall catalogues, quoting at
tractive prices on staple articles
and making all :sorts of claims
for your cash. They don't credit
you for a nickl's worth, but make
you pay cash before you get the
goods. and the freight besides.
If anything is wrong with the
goods or they do mot suit, .they
will not exchange them for you.
They pay no taxes into your
town or county treasury, with
which your schools are main
tanned and roads are built. They
do not contribute to your church
es nor give employment to any
of your friends. Then why
should you be SO willing ito pat
ronize them? You know that
they must make large profits
and that their bargains are u.s.
uaIly bargains of repentance for
the buyer. Two of the lsrge mail
order houses of Chicago are
rated worth ten million dollars
each. and they have made these
vast fortudes by selling inferior
goods at prices of superior ar
ticles. Still our people are con-
stantly sending their money off
to get bargains, and when they
get bit they say nothing, but
bite at the next tempting bate.
Among the many good and
true things to be found in the
Ocean Springs News is the fol-
lowing: IF newspaper is 10y
al to the town, the town snould
be loyal to the newspaper. Be-
ing loyal to the newspaper means
subscribing. and keeping your
subscription paid up; means get
ting value received bv using the
newspaper as an advertising me-
dium, whenever you have any
thing to buy or sell; doing what
you can to make the paper a
good newspaper by turning in
news items promptly whenever
you happen to learn of the same.
There is no better index to the
character of a town than the sort
of newspaper it supports. If the
are up-to-date and
progressive and carry liberal
amount of advertising, it is very
certain indication that the town
where the newspaper is publish
ed is a live. progressive business
like town. The newspaper is
the most accurate mirror of a
community, and the subscribers
and advertisers alike make the
paper.
