inc winter visitors could be largely in
creased in number by additional accom-
and men with money are
busiIy supplying this deficiency, The
coast electric railway will in a short
time connect all towns on the coast, and
it will then be Il continuous city some
sixty miles long.
Wilkinson county has under consider
alton the opening of portion of Homo.
chitto river to navigation. An effort
was made along this line some years
since by the government, but with poor
the money, likely, having been
expended under adverse circumstances,
or possibly not all on the work appro.
priated for. The citizens of Wilkinson
figure that with the aid of $4,000 they
can open canal to the river that will
in q very short time prove valuable
waterway. 1t is proposed to tax the
land to be directly benefited a small
amount each year, sell bonds and use
the money as proposed. The experiment
seems to be worth making, to say the
least of it, and there is large posi-
bility of success in the proposition,
The Silver Creek & Vicksburg Railway
is being pushed as fast rs possible. Wet
weather has interfcred with railroad
building considerably during the past
year, but construction is going along
better now The Sardis & Delta is be-
ing rushed. and in a short time will be
completed from Philip to Sardis. The
|. c. line from Corinth to Jasper, Ala,
is dotted with camps, and dirt is moving
lively. The NJ, j. & X. c. will announce
a through schedule from Mobile to Mid
dlcton in short time, and other work
on new roads is progressing satisfactori-
ly. Mississippi is the scene of much ac-
tiyity in railroad circles, and promises to
be for some time to come.
Greenwood is issuing $4,000 in bonds
for general municipal improvements, 1t
will be largely used in erecting an ad-
dition to the school building, building
street crossings, equipping fire depart
mcnt, extending water and light service
and bridging bayous. There is one thing
about Greenwood that is refreshing, in
deed-when they need anything up there
they 90 right away and get it. There is
no halting and pickering. The few old
fogies have been buried long since, and
the people pull together with manimity
when Improvements are needed.
