year than it has ever gotten, and the
more cotton there is sold in a town
the more money there is spent there.

as yet very high as a cotton market,

SOME INDICATIONS or
XNPROTED CONDITIONS

There is a notable increase in the
number of cars of lumber passing
through Hattiesburg and shipped from
this city. A few short months ago
cars of lumber were noticeable mostly
for their absence from the scene of
activity in these parts, but now one
can see anywhere from a dozen to
forty cars piled high with the stuff
that makes Hattiesburg prosperous,
and they can be seen any old day in
the yards Of the railroads entering this
city.
The want columns OF a live daily
are the surest index to the prosperity
of a city or section. When there are
more ads for Help Wanted than there
are for Positions Wanted, it is
pretty sure sign that good times are
not far off, for Industrial and CON-
mercial activity call for more help,
while business stagnation invariably
leads to a general hunt for jobs. In
this connection it is timely to remark
that the mills of the Hattiesburg dis
trict are advertising now for men and
the Help Wanted ads are more num-
erous in the Daily News than the
Position Wanted are.

Average Length OF Life.

The man who lives until he is
more than century old and the
child who dies in infancy are alike
included In the law of averages. They
balance each Others chances, as il
were.
OF 100000 people living at the
age of ten, only 1854 will live to
the age of twenty-one, only 82,2S4
will be living at forty, only 40 will
be living at ninety-six, and only .
at ninety-seven. AT thirty, the aver
age man may take it that he has
under thirty-five years to live; at
forty, under twenty-eight years; at
fifty, under twenty-one years; at SIX
ty under fourteen years.
In each and all of these cases,
how he lives will determine whether
he will have longer life or a shorter
life, but the average will infallibly
work out within space of ninety
