wards furnishing a right Of way and
terminal facilities for the Columbus,
Memphis and Pensacola railroad.

are always ready to pull together for
a greater Observation-Disclosures sun.

The wonderful results Of modern
civilization, particularly in the way
of transportation. is evidenced by
the bill of fare of even the humbles
dinner. There are oranges from
California, grapes from New York,
dates from Mexico. tea from China,
coffee from South America, cram
berries from Massachusetts-and
thus down the list. Twenty States
and half a dozen countries are often
represented in the food upon a din
ner table. One hundred, yes fifty,
years ago this would have been
thought an impossibility. Now it
creates no surprise. So much for
the railroad and corporate wealth.
One need not go out Of Mississippi
for materials to make up a magnif-
cent dinner. Take, for illustration,
Mississippi turkey, bread made
from Mississippi wheat, apples from
Mississippi orchards, cider from the
apples, pies from the fruit, vege-
tables, corn, potatoes, turnips,
straw berries and melons from Mis-
sissippi gardens, beef, mutton or
pork from the farm-yards, with
milk from Mississippi cows-where
could an epicure find a more appe-
thing meal? The single State of
Mississippi could shut off the rest of
the world by a chinese wall and feed
itself and its people for generations
to come. 1t takes dinner to make
us realize how this State can produce
and provide. Don't let anyone tell
you again that this is one crop

The Rock Island has sent out a
circular containing the following:
To Coal Dealers and Consumers;
sThe time is rapidly approaching
when the demand for coal will tax the
capacity Of the mines and the trans
portation lines.
"Past experience has demonstrated
that it is impracticable, if not impOs-
sihle for the mines 10 produce and the
carriers to transport promptly at all
times all the fuel that may be requir-
ed.
During the winter months causes
beyond our control will seriously in
terfere with our service, and conges-
tion and delays are sure to occur
Such conditions will result in seriou
inconvenience and possible suffering
and everything possible should be don
ID guard against them.

greater volume Of commercial busi-
ness, but the Improvement will be
much more pronounced if our patrons
will anticipate their fall and winter
requirements BY placing their orders

lower price at which coal is sold should
more than compensate for the addi-
