Mr.. J. w. Deupree was in town
Thursday for the first time in quite a

visitor recently to the State fair at
jackson and was enthusiastic over the
agricultural display, but disappointed
that East Mississippi and Noxubee,
especially, did not have an exhibit.
Tie exhibit from South Mississippi, he
said, was especially good, particularly
so from Jackson county, and ali of the
products shown was from the poor-cut-
Over pine lands of that section. He
thinks that probably some day when
the boil weevil and meat trust force US
to it, we will also be able to show a
diversity of products that will be even
easier raised that from the poor lands
of South Mississippi.
