by five and six-story office buildings,
from the tops of which a panoramic
view can be had of the greatest of the
cities of the good state of Mississippi.
In addition to the many small in
dustries now located in the city,
there are two large saw mills that
manufacture and send out by raj on
an average of 100000 feet of lum-
Der annually, and her oil mills and fer
tilizer plants manufacture and ship
nearly two thousand cars of their
products yearly, and her sash, door
and blind factories handle in the
neighborhood of half a million dollars
worth of lumber and finished products
annually.
Hattiesburg has all the public util-
tiles of an up-to-date modern city. In
addition to her industrial develop
ment, Hattiesburg has become a seat
of learning and refinement.
The growth of Hattiesburg, through
the enterprise of her citizens, and her
favorable location, has continued and
will continue as long as she can boast
the best citizenship, open hearted al
most to a fault when it comes to civic
pride. A citizenship that will not
permit itself to be surpassed by any
in its effort to build up and develop
