How to Become Rich.

In order to become rich it is necessary
merely to follow the perfectly simple
procedure of any king of finance. Thus:
Borrow all the money you can upon
the property you already own.
With the money buy more property.
Combine the two properties, float a
loan upon them, and with the money
buy third property.
Merge the three properties, use the
merger as security for loan, and with
the money buy another large property.
Consolidate this with the others, select
a board of directors, and authorize your
self to float twice as much stock as there
is.
Sell this stock, with the money buy
five or six more properties.
Organize a holding company which
will carry the stocks OF all the proper
ties.
You are now so wealthy and infiential
that you do not need to make any more
loans.
Increase the stock of your properties
and sell bonds upon them.
Authorize yourself to buy everything
in sight with this money.
Now you will have control of every
thing; also you will have the say-so in
any number of subsidiary companies
and controlling voice in eight or nine
insurance companies and national banks.
After this there doesn't seem to be
much for you to do except to get the
dyspepsia, get bald and prattle gently
about the excellence of moral proverbs.
Life,

s The coast country is being proven the
garden spot of the world, and the peo-
pie of Pascagoula are doing much to
show the doubters the truth of this. In
speaking of the exhibits at the exposi-
ton in Jackson the Daily News of that
city says:
'sOf course one does not know, hav-
ing only the eyes and taste as guides,
and being without experience, but if
Jackson county doesn't carry off the
biggest bunch of honorsagain this year,
there will be cause to wonder why.
There is everything on the long shelves
that could be grown in our rich bottom
land, and this seacoast county is cap
turing honors again.
"Mr. Lewis is very proud of his ex-
hibit, and justly SO; for there are some
eye openers among his goods. OF
course, the flowers are lovely, and the
growing fruits, as lemons and oranges,
are attractive, but the Jackson county
people base their pride on their wonder
full pecans. their Satsuma oranges and
their delicious sugarcane syrup, as well
as upon Mr.. Lewis fine scuppernong
wines, and the remarkable Japanese
fruits, persimmons and ounces.
Another splendid exhibit is made by
this up-to-date county this year, and
that is the really remarkable display of
corn. There is corn of every sort, size
and sweetness on the shelves little corn
and big corn, popcorn and corn on the
fred ear; corn of each and every sort,
and still there's more to come. So, If
this fine coast county should ever lose
her beautiful fruits and vineyards, she
can return to her broad corn fields and
make good living there.
"There is no sort of doubt about the
superiority of Mr.. Lewis Jackson Co.
wines. The scuppernong grape makes
a delightful wine. and Mr.. Lewis has
managed to get the very best that is il

made it their business to study

rather than methods of scientific

men will ask the Mayor and CITY
Council to use their influence and
good Offices to effect a satisfactory
settlement not only in behalf of
the union men, but the citizens in
general as the present situation is
very embarrassing and unsltis-
