new PASSENGER STATION
IS PRACTICALLY ASSURED
The Northeastern Will Soon Begin Preliminary
Work--Other Improvements During Year.

1t appears to be practically assured
that the Northeastern railroad will
build that new passenger station be-
fore the year is out.
A short time ago the Daily News
stated that there was possibility
that work would be begun on the new
station some time in June or July.
This statement was based on the
opinion OF a well-known railroad man,
who said that the company would
likely wait until after the close of
the fiscal year, which closes with the
month of June, and then commence
the building.
Some Of the officials of the North
eastern have recently conferred with
officers of the traction company In
reference to the Main street crossing
and it is understood that an agree
ment was reached about the trackagt
and crossings.
/ 1t is expected that the grading ant
trackage work will begin at an earl!
date, but the actual building worl
will not likely commence uutily July
The same plans and specification
that have heretofore been exhibite,
will be used.

STRAWBERRIES

The following from the Jackson

of the amount of money that can be
made from strawberry culture:
]. F. Mckay, one of the most ex-
tensive and successful berry growers
in this section of the state, says that
the prospect was never better for
making money on berries, the wealth
er being dry and making fine frnit,
and thai peaches are assured in the
greatest abundance. In the vicinity OF
his old home near Madison Station,
Mr.. Mckay finds growers who are
shipping the very finest of berries,
and says they are getting fine prices.

Mississippi branch of the Farmers
Union, and B. G. West, manager of
the Farmers Union Cotton company,
corroborate the above. Couple this
with Mr.. Vests success last week in
putting the Arkansas, Missouri and
Tennessee cotton on the same foot
ing. and similar action in other cot
ton states, with the cutting down OF
the acreage throughout the cotton
belt, makes it look like the farmer
was the winner.
In coming to the aid of the holders
of union cotton the banks have pre-
vented the cotton from being forced
upon the market and removed tho
necessity of the farmers going to out
side sources for assistance.
1t Is understood that not more thar
Is per cent. of cotton now in thu
hands of farmers needs to be financed
and all those having cotton feel per
fectly safe in holding for highe
prices. 1t is the purpose that all 10
cal banks shall finance the cottol
in their communities, and when the!
are not able to do this the member
of the union in that section will
write President Hightower, who will
through Messrs. McMorris and Thom
as, arrange to have their cotton flr

who were appointed by the joint meet

The meeting effected arrange
