The Greenviile Business League has

The Greenviile Business League has
secured large box factory for that
city which will give employment to
100 people as we'll as supply a market
for large amounts Of timber that have
little value on the general market.
Greenville is fast becoming a large
hardwood center, and it is undoubted-
ly admirably located for the manufac-
ture Of everything made from hard
woods. The Business League is thor
oughly alive to this condition and is
keeping it prominently before the
world so that those looking for such
a location would see what G,eenville
had to offer.

Locks Proposed.

1t is reported that the United States
Government has issued orders for the
Board of Supervisors OF Perry County
to cease work on bridge over Leaf
river at Beaumont OH the grounds that
this is a navigable stream up as far
as Hattiesburg. 1t is thought that the
government would be inclined to put
in sufficient locks and dams to make
Leaf river navigable to this city #
the matter was presented in the right
shape and such a move is now
taking shape and will doubtless be
pushed to a successful end. This IN
itself would soon bring freight rates
to a minimum.

ed to prepare charter for the Farm

ny. The bank will have a capital Of
$4,000, ard will open for business as
soon as the necessary books can be
procured. The farmers of Jefferson
Davis county will own majority of
the stock. 1t is thought that the bank
will do a good business without de-

The Courier at Hazlehurst sizes ur
the condition of our state in the fol.
lowing terse and convincing manner:
As IN indication OF the prosperity
and progress that exists in Mississip-
pl today, may be noted the numerous
and costly improvements that are be-
Ing made in the public buildings and
other property of the state; counties
and municipalities. Hardly a county
in the state but possesses acourthouSe
of which any community might be
proud. Some of the few not now so
fortunate; are making haste to get in
line to build substantial, commodious
and handsome Buildings for the trans
action Of the public affairs, and not
onl y are the court houses the only in
dication Of this spirit of progress, but
where few years ago insecure and
crude bridges spanned the streams to
be washed away by every freshet,
Stone and steel ones may now be seen
that resist the floods and do not de-
cay and need rebuilding every few
years. Roads that were once impas
sable are now being transformed into
pleasant driveways and other public
Improvements are being noted all over
the state. The people Of the Stale are
prosperous along all lines. The farm
ers have changed their one-crop mode
of farming and are now getting re-
turns from mother earth that were
not dreamed of few years back. The
future is bright indeed"

At Liberty recently a show thai
was unique and interesting was made
under the direction of J. M. Smith,
an enthusiastic breeder of good stock.
Mr. Smith is the owner of a splendid
stallion and jack of which he is and
has right to be proud He offered
a handsome list Of premiums for colts
from his splendid animals and about
a dozen each of horses and mules were
shown. 1t was sight that pleased
the eye of those who are interested in
the breeding of fine stock and belisv-
ers in the adaptability of our state for
such interests. The Chester Record
states that this display clearly demon
strated the fact that just as good
mules aad horses could be raised here
as any where under the sun. This is
undoubtedly beyond contradiction and
an increasing interest in the industry
is hailed with delight by those with
the best interests of our state at
heart

Maben has organized and will soon
throw open the doors of a second
banking institution. 1t seems that
money is sure enough growing on
trees up in that section of the state
that is developing SO rapidly here of
late when two banks are required to
hold the deposits. However, it goes
to prove that the people are doing
we'll and have money that is not in
use every day. Misiessippi's banking
record during the past few yeaN has
been a marvellous one indeed and the
prospects for a continuance seems to
be good. However, if there should be
a slight period of depression to fol-
low the unusually prosperous times
we have been experiencing, there is no
need for alarm. Such periods usually
follow, but with the sound foundation
We possess for our greatness, there is
every reason to believe that matters
would soon right themselves and ev-
erything would more along as be-
fore without serious nindrance.

for the corn crop Of our state and it
