BE A BOOSTER

If You have made up your mind to
live in town, then stand up for it.
and if you know positively no good,
then silence is golden. Do all you
can to help along every man who is
engaged in legitimate business. Do
not send away for everything nice
you want and still expect the home
men to keep a stock to suit the whim
of one or two customers. The success
of your fellow townsmen will be your
success. No man liveth to himself
and no man does business independ-
emily of his fellow businessmen. Take
your home paper. Do not imagine
the big dailies fill up all this space.
There are many little crevices of a
good cheer, social sunshine, personal
mention, in the home paper that the
the big dailies do not print. Then do
not abuse your neighbor. The main
difference in the number of his faults
and your own is that you see through
a magnifying glass as a critic. The
ill omened, the croaker, can do a
town more harm in a minute than
two good citizens can repair in a
month.-The Columbian.

John 'Vannamaker is said to AVE
given to The Philadelphia Press three
hundred and sixty-five thousand dol
lars for page ad in that paper every
day for one year And John Wan
namaker did not have one hundredth
part as much to sell as South Mis-.
sissippi has. 1t was not John Wan
namakers goods or his prices that
made him famous as one Of the mer-
chant princes of his age and country;
though he had the goods, and he
made his prices right; and without
these he could not have succeeded.
But with these, he could not have sue
ceeded as he did, had he not given
the widest publicity to his business.
John Wannamaker is said to have
paid the man who wrote his ads,
twenty-five thousand dollars a year,
and he is said to have said that thai
man was the best investment he ever
made.
South Mississippi ought to wake up
to its possibilities, and then go after
business in a business way. South
Mississippi could spend profitably in
one year one million dollars in a
publicity campaign, and be several
millions better off for the investment
The property owners in this town ami
county could spend one hundred thou
sand dollars and make big money by
it. And as a starter to get ready to
spend whatever sum they will spend.
they should begin now to cultivate a
crop from which to draw their sell
ing samples next year, and be able to
produce statistics they can swear by.
The time to get ready to do that, is
at hand.

THE WAGES OF SIN.

That the wages of sin is death was
never more terribly proven than BY
an occurrence in Wisconsin last week
F. f. Hanscome, the cashier of the
wrecked First National Bank, of Min
e?al Point, was found dead in the
night on the grave of his mother. He
mad shot himself through the heart
When Hanscome's body was taken
into the home of his mother-in-law
she, an old woman, dropped dead
from the shock.
The bank failed because of the al
legged speculations of Phillip Allen
the vice-president, who was the
brother-in-law of Hanscome.
Hanscome killed himself because
he had told depositors shortly before
the bank failed that it was solvent

RICE IN MISSISSIPPI.

A year or two ago when Congress
man Humphreys suggested the posi-,
bilitY of rice growing in the Delta the
idea was regarded with favor. as at
least feasible, or as an experiment
worth trying in case of necessity for
experimenting the growing of cotton
with other crops. 1t was hardly con-
templated that within so short time
the practicability of rice growing
would have been demonstrated and
highly successful crops produced,
Very recently under the eyes of eX-
perts of the United States Agricultu'
raj Department, the crop of rice
grown on a plantation of the Hon.
Charles Scott has been harvested,
showing an average yield of 80 bush
els TO the acre. This is convincing.
The experiment suggested by Mr..
Humphreys is a complete success, and
only the willingness of the planters to
add to their productions is necessary
to make it a staple of West Missis-
sippi alluvial lands. At the recent
agricultural fair held at Greenville
the rice exhibit attracted the attention
of many leading planters of that sec
ton, and so favorably impressed
them that many have announced their
intention to begin the cultivation of
this grain at once.-Vicksburg Amer

Joaquin Miller was once overtaker
