The Douglas Island News with it's is sue of last week completed its tenth year of labor in its field. In making brief comment upon it the News speaks of certain proportions of success and failure, of happiness and of sorrow, triumphs and mistakes that make up the record of that labor. Because of standards, ideals and ambitions which each man establishes for himself in life, and because results may not measure up at all times to these in his syes-things which other men who have only the outward view know nothing of these are features of the life of every man that strives. But to those of the the outward view there has been noth- ing but success and good works in the story of the Douglas News. And this is good deal to say with sincerity. Good luck and loug life to it.-Skag- way Daily Alaskan.

inducements SHOULD
BE FOR COTTON TRADE
The Amount Of Cotton That Is Being
Grown in Hattiesburg Territory
Grows Greater Each Year and This
City will Offer Inducements.

DR.. w. w. Crawford. president of the
Commercial Club, has appointed J. B.
Merkel, T. NJ. Ferguson and M. J. Ep-
ley as a committee from that body.
to cooperate with the Farmers Union
concerning the building of a farmers
warehouse at this place, where cotton
can be stored according to plans
adopted by the union.
Since it is now a well established
fact that the soil in Hattiesburg's
trade territory is even better, all
things considered, than the soil of tho
great Yazoo delta for growing cotton.
the importance Of Hattiesburg getting
into the game" at once cannot be
overestimated.
True not great amount Of cotton is
now being produced in this great sec
ton, yet 1t is bound to come. With the
cutting away of pine timber, the land
can be used for great many pur-
poses and as cotton is always a GER
tain crop, the amount of cotton grown
will increase with each succeeding
year. With very small cost for fer
tilizing, bale of cotton can be grown
to each acre planted. 1t is a more
healthful climate than the delta, be-
sides almost everything for home use
can be grown here. which win make
cotton growing profitable in this sec
tion. A few years ago. Meridian only
received a small amount of cotton.
Now, it is one of the largest cotton
markets in the state and is really
largely dependent upon cotton re-
ceipts for its prosperity.
The time is not far distant when
Hattiesburg win be large cotton mar
ket, as well as great lumber market.
