road, and with that end in View mass
meeting of the citizens of Carthage was
held few days since. a delegation of
enterprising spirits from Canton being In
attendance.
Canton is an important station on tho
Illinois Central railroad, and Carthage
Is the capital of the only county in the
state that has no railroad. The two are
about 80 miles apart, and over present
roads it is days journey between them.
The Madison county board of SUPER
visors are now constructing g-foot
road to the edge of the county in which
Carthage is located leaving Lake coun-
ty only 10 miles o. less to build.
The building of such highways con-
Meeting county towns, would do much TO
bring new settlers to Mississippi and in
crease the value of farm lands. With
such a road Canton and Carthage would
be only an hour apart by auto and three
or four by buggy.
The citizens Of Leake attending the
mass meeting expressed great interest
in the matter and promised liberal CO.
operation.
1t Is stated that the cotton mills at
Wesson will be closed down again in a
week or two, and that the employees of
the concern are even now leaving the
town in search of other employment. Sew
eral families have left and other will do
the same so soon as they are able to
secure places In other mills.
| The Wesson mills are the largest in the
state and when running full force employ
hundreds of men, women and children.
| OF late, however. they have been rum
ming along in a crippled condition. with
a small fierce, and the town has felt the
effect in many ways.
| Hope is entertained that arrangements
will be made at an early day by the new
owners to put the mills on their feet once
more and that the hundreds Of operatives
will return.
