A NeU Departure.

With this issue, the Hattiesburg
News inaugurates a new departure in
Mississippi journalism, and one that
should meet with immediate and sub
stantial reward at the hands of the
people of the Hattiesburg territory.
For a number of years the newspa-
pers of New Orleans and Memphis
have devoted a large portion of their
Monday editions to a general summary
of crop conditions throughout their re-
spective territories. and the feature is
not only popular. but almost indispen-
ible.
But the agricultural country tribu-
tary to Hattiesburg is as yet practical
ly undeveloped. and yellow pine lum-
Der is the chief money crop" of this
section.
The idea has, therefore, occurred
to us that lumber crop reports
would prove interesting reading mat
ter. and that such feature, intelli-
gently conducted, would prove of in
estimable value to mill men, mer-
chants banks and citizens generally.
With this end in view, letters were
recently addressed to the mills of the
district asking them to make weekly
reports. The response has been most
generous and the result is presented
in today's paper with much satisfac-
ton.
Those who failed to send their re-
ports for this issue will please do so
before Monday of next week, and those
who have already responded will kind
ly supply any additional information
of interest to the trade of the district.

An Iowa woman says that heaven
is full of pianos If that should be
true it is to be hoped at least that
all the angels have learned how to
play and none of them require to
take lesson practice. But then, it
couldn't be heaven if they had to do
this.
