annually The states that have drawn
upon Us for thousands OF our hes, peo-
pie had these. Make agricultural pur-
suits attractive and IL will tend to keep
Mississippians In Mississippi, settling
the immigration problem.
The subject of better roads continues
TO interest the people Of many counties
in our state. IL does not wane as time
goes by, but seems to gather force.
Clay is one of the counties where the
matter has been investigated and the
result OF said investigation Is that bonds
will be sold and the monies thus de-
rived expended in building and main
tanning roads throughout the county.
Calhoun county Is seriously consider
ing the proposition to build roads and
had committees from the Farmers
Union TO confer with the supervisors on
the subject More than fifteen counties
are at present either building roads,
selling bonds TO raise money to build
or considering the question seriously.
Mississippi will do more to improve her
public roads during the next five years
than for the past twenty The
people are Interested and looking into
the plans used by other states. The
result Is bound TO be satisfactory. II
every taxpayer in the state could SEQ
for himself the roads around Jackson,
Tenn, Tuscumbia, Ala, and other
places that could be mentioned, the op-
position TO road improvement would be
almost nothing. The June issue OF The
Bulletin from the department OF agri-
culture and commerce will be largely
devoted TO roads. Send for . number
OF copies for distribution among your
friends who ought to be interested In
this important subject.
The Progress At Eupors proposes Q
fair for Webster county, to hold its
initial meeting this fall. While 1t is
possibly too late to work up complete
fair. the farmers could make q good
one-day exhibition and the premiums
could be offered by the business and
professional men. This plan has work
ed splendidly in q number Of places and
has always resulted in . permanent
fair association.
Don't forget that Mississippi has al
ways been and will continue TO be the
best state in the union for the man
with moderate means. Every man
must DO protected in his rights in the
future as in the past. This is the her
itage TO hand down to our children.
