has made more progress than Hatties.
burg, and so soon as the surrounding
territory is peopled and the lands made
to produce of the worlds needs, there
is reason to believe that it will grow
even faster still. That section of the
State is especially adapted to trucking
as well as the production OF all crops,
and all that is needed to make it bios
som as a rose is thousands of good
white people to bring the land into Gull
tivation.
DR.. e. f. Turner of Washington coun-
ty has an article in a recent issue OF the
Leland Enterprise anent the working
of public roads that was especially able
and to the point. The strongest feat
ures of DR.. Turner's article was upon
the supervision of the roads and in get
ting a man without strings tied to him
to see hat the work is done according
to contract or as the law directs. Work
ing by contract will not be satisfactory
at all if some man is selected commits
sioner who will not see that each con-
tractor is made to do his whole duty
and bring his section of road up to the
standard required. Think about this,
talk about it and then act.
McComb City is fighting any feeling
that might be akin to the blues or &C
count of unfavorable crop conditions,
and nou that buildings to the
amount of 800, 900 are to be commenced
during the present month. 1t looks
pretty good to see patriotic citizens
pushing all the time, and more especial
ly in the face of circumstance that
might discourage those who are in
clined to be timid. McComb is a good
city and affords the market for an i'm
mense amount of farm and garden
products, the bigger it grows, the bet
ter for the farmers in Pike county, and
it still grows.
A trucking company with a capital.
stock of $780, 900 is to be organized at
H~attiesburg for the purpose of working
cut-over pine lands and doing a general
trucking and fruit business. The rail-
roads are said t o have offered co-Opera-
ton and the success of the project
should be assured. The lands in ques-
ton nave already been proven adapted
to this class of farming, and in a few
more years South Mississippi should
be shipping hundreds of cars of truck
per day. 1t ear a great deal for the
State to see this vast area of land
brought into cultivation.
The hustling people of YaZoo county
will not be content with holding an or
binary county fair this fall, but propose
to hold the biggest and best county
fair in the State. They have commit
tees at work constantly, and the pros
poets are growing brighter day by day.
d. Wollerstein, the popular manager,
is working overtime to get everything
in readiness for the event, and is well
pleased with the success attained.
1t should be a source of qualification
to Mississippians to know that the
States credit is excellent and 3 1-2 per
cent bonds sell at par, although the
money market is pretty tight just at
this time. There may be some differ
ence of opinion as to the reputation OF
some sixty years ago, but all are agreed
that the credit is good at this time.
A great howl is going from those who
have held the whip hand for years and
amassed immense fortunes at the ex.
pense of the general public and the
| bugaboo of hard times and financial
panics threatened have been worked
overtime. 1t is amusing to see the an
tics being cut by the people who are in
a condition to tide over just such times
as threatened, but are fearful of their
graft being cut off or lessened.
The Importance of one of the new
lumber plants being erected at Charles

made that $50 cottages for white work.

T. E. Henry of Corinth is marketing
the second crop of Strawberries for the
season. The first crop was not very
good but the prospects for the second
are said to be much better. Here is
another evidence of what is in store for
those who make Mississippi their home.
