WORK ON DITCH
 SOON TO BEGIN

After having been delayed from various causes for about two years, work on the excavation of the big ditch in the Tupelo Drainage Dis trict will be begun within few days. The bonds of the district have been sold to the Lesser Gold man Cotton Co.,, and the money with which to pay for the work is now on deposit in local bank.
 It having been found impracti- cable to let work of digging the ditch out by contract, the direc- tors of the district will have it done by day labor. The only thing that they are now waiting on is the laying by" of crops, so that teams and labor can be cas- fly secured, and a big force will be on the job by the middle of this month. The ditch in the lower end of the district will be excava- ted first, after which the work will be pushed to the upper end, and it is thought that it can be en- tirely completed during the pres ent summer and fall, if the weather is at all favorable.
 Governor Donaghey, who with H. B. Ingram are the largest own- CTS of the land in the district, has been looking over the proposed ditch while here this week, and is enthusiastic over the benefits ex pected to result from drainage, About 7 ,ooo acres in all will be either reclaimed entirely or bene- fited by the drainage system, and the large majority of this land is now entirely unfit for cultivation, but when drained is expected to be as rich as any river bottom land in the state.
