The Kemper herald. (Scooba, Miss.) 1875-1908, 1907-01-24

The sixth annual exhibit Of the Mis-
sissippi Poultry and Pet Stock Asso-
citation, held at Aberdeen the first Of
the month, was a most successful az
fair and superbly managed through
out. There were more exhibitors than
ever before and the quality of exhib-
its were better than heretofore. F. j.
Marshall of Atlanta was the judge.
This has become one Of the principal
events in the state, and it is crafty
ing indeed to note that it is growing
in importance from year to year. The
poultry industry is becoming of great
magnitude and no section Of the coun-
try offers greater advantages than
Mississippi. 1t is undoubtedly in its
infancy and we confidently expec.. to
see greater development in the next
few years than ever before. The gen.
tlemen behind this exhibition are de-
serving of the cooperation and as
sistance of our people in general, there
being nothing more stimulating than
the competition Of the new show ring.
Secretary Muller Of the McComh
City Progressive Union sees many
good things in store for that enter
prising city for the coming year. The
year just past was prosperous ona
but the future even looks brighter.
With the active cooperation of the
business men and The farmers of tlg
surrounding country, there Is every
reason to believe that what Mr.. Null
ler has seen will come to pass. Then
too, it so much more pleasant to SEQ
tho good things instead of the bad.
The world loves an opsimist and life
Is much sweeter to the man who al.
ways looks upon the bright side.
Centreyille is not satisfied with the
present conditions and is agitating an.
other progressive movement. A or.
ganization of the business people il
suggested and being discussed. They
viii find it a great help if properly
conducted. Centreville already has an
out growers association, cane grow
ers association and trucking league.
With an organization of business mer
| to look after rates and such matters
that little city ought to show some
thing wonderful in the way of devel'
opment during the year.
| Yazoo City has located a branch
of a Memphis handle company thai
will employ a number of hands and
furnish a market for the splendid
hardwood timber that is so abundan
in that section. Pity tits that every
county in the state could not manufac'
ture this valuable timber instead Of
allowing it to be shipped away fol
consumption elsewhere.
The exceedingly warm weather ex
perienced since the holidays has un
doubtedly worked damage to thu
fruit crop of the state. Blooms ap
peared on the trees in places and th
second blooming period will not com'
if cool weather did not stop them
IF you have experimental will
crops, stock or anything else of inter
est, let this department know of thu
success attending your efforts. Th'
J, public in general would be glad X
have the result of your labors and Il
it is worth anything you could d,
them favor by letting all have it.
A community is just as good as the
people make it. The man who vii
not take advantage of every opportu
nifty to speak a good word for the
section in which he lives, or speaks
slightingly of it, should endeavor to
find one of which he can speak well OF
keep his mouth shut.
| Meridian, She "Queen City," comes
to the beginning Of the new year with
a streng intdntion OF eclipsing all pre-.
vieus records for Industrial and com
mercial prosperity. The list of man.
ufacturing plants is continually
lengthsning and ether interests an
growing apace.
Thsre Is something for all to do that
are looking for a job. Openings fol
good men are more frequent han ever
before. There is absolutely no excuss
for decent man to be out Of job 81
this time.

ing, of Vicksburg, stating that the of
ficials and commercial bodies Of that

new Y. & M. V. depot to be built al

ing that the commission rescind its
former order on the subject in order
that the work may proceed, as tbs
city Is badly IN need of better depot
facilities.
