And again, occasion is taken to 70
mark that Mississippi offers as much
or more to the man looking for homa
in a land where sunshine is the ruls
and the people loyal, brave and trua
and any state in this splendid union.
There is no sensible reason why om
young men and women should, upon
arriving at the age of maturity, go
to one of the newer states in the West
to begin life. Mississippi offers an
much or more than any Of them. Tex.
as, that mighty empire of the West.
ern country, has long drawn upon
Mississippi for sinew that was needed
here at home more offered in return
Investment in Mississippi lands havs
increased faster than have Texas land
during the past seven years. Our
soil is more productive, the climate
more congenial, the public schools bet
ter, churches more numerous and
many other things in favor of our
own state too numerous to mention
just now. Some one has shown by an
estimate that our lands produce more
cotton to the acre than the Texas
lands. Basing the estimate upon last
years acreage and production, it is
shown that In Texas it requires %
acres of land to make bale Of cot
ton, while in Mississippi only II was
necessary. Our corn production was
ahead in almost an equal production.
Our trucking interests are far ahead
Our timber and naval stores produc.

ing the reward that rightfully belongs
to US, there is not star in the gal

above Mississippi. Mississippi and Mis-
slssippian are all right. Keep thn
thought uppermost in your minds.
Here is beautiful sentiment which
has been reproduced in the press and
credited to the Brandon News. II
is worthy place IN every scrap
book:
"Don't judge a man by his clothes
God made one and the tailor made the
other. Don't judge man by his
family, for Cain belonged to a good
family. Don't judge man by his
failure. Many man fails because
he is too honest to succeed. Don't
Judge man by the house he lives
in, for the lizard and the rat often
inhabit the grander structure. When
a man dies, they who survive him ask
what property there is left behind
the angel that bends over the dying
man asks what good doods hes %

WHEN THE GEESE GO FLYING.


When the geese go flying northward where
the clear blue waters are,
When you hear them, like old ladies blithe-
ly gossiping afar,
When they pass .on tapping. Tapping up
against the slanting sky,
Laughing down defiance at you, as you
stop to watch them fly,
How the old wild longing haunts you,
how the old scenes rise in view
where the world was wide and peaceful
and the simple friends were true.
When the geese go flying northward where
the lakes, kissed by the sun,
Laugh in glad anticipation. oh. for free
dom and a gum
oh, to fling away ambition and go journey
ing afaF
From the forges and the markets where
the weary people are
To go stumbling through the briars and
across the hills again,
Caring nothing for the future or the things
that worry men.
There is something sweet and Turing in
the mellow breeze that blows
Down among the old gray stubbles where
they stand in sianting rows
There Is something in the murmur Of the
stream that hurries on
Through the rushes like the whisper of a
spirit that is gone
Like whispered invitation to go roam
ing free and far,
When the geese go flying northward
where the sky-blue waters are.

25O LOAvES OF BREAD
Sterling Range Did inc Trick
 With One Hod of Coal.

Housewives interested in bread- making visited the Thatcher store at 39 Center street in lafge numbers this afternoon. They were attracted there by what they had heard about the Sterling range and to see that stove live up to its reputation of bak- ing 250 loaves of bread with one hod of coal. They were agreeably sur- prised to see the manner in which the range made the dough brown and the rapidity and nicety with which 1t made the bread. Of course the stove is kept busy all thetime but it is only natural when you stop to con- slider the number of loaves it gets out in sixty minutes. Some years ago $1.000 was offered by the com pany making the stove to any con- cern which woul dduplicate the feat of the Sterling in baking 25O loaves of bread.
