The Favored Section.

Speaking of the outlook of this i'm
mediate section, Secretary Davis said
that the South Mississippi region had
more to gain by the movement than
any other section of the state, by
reason of the fact that there is more
undeveloped territory to be opened up
for settlement; its lands are cheap,
the soil is fertile and the climate, is
unexcelled; besides this, the railroad
facilities are all that could be de-
sired.
In order to get development work
started as soon as possible, the Mis-
sissippi Central Railroad, through R
K Smith, its vice president and gen
eral manager, has offered two forty
acre tracts of land in three different
olunkies on his line to be used as
l@1iep farms. 1t is the pur

'If all other cities in Mississip-
pi the size of Hattiesburg do as much
for the immigration movement as Hat
tiesburg has done, the question of
raising $4,000 for this proposition
will not be as difficult as was at first
anticipated, will it?"
In answer to the above question put
to Secretary Davis, of the Mississippi
Land Development Association
by a News reporter this morning, Mr..
Davis replied: There is but one
Hattiesburg in Mississippi, and but
few cities whose citizens manifest a
spirit of progress and liberality equal
to that shown by the people of this
city in matters which affect the well
fare of this community"
Secretary Davis has been in Ha,'
tiesburg for several days in confer
ence with Mr.. H. A. Camp, who is
executive committeeman for this con
gressional district for the association
and these two gentlemen have beer
working jointly in soliciting member
ships and subscriptions to the assoeia
ton. As the result of few days
work several life members have beer
secured, and while the fee for life

CELEBRATION WILL
CONTINUE THREE DAYS
ARRANGEMENTS Committee Had Meet
ina Yesterday and Appointed Addi-
tional Committees Who Will Get
Busy Immediately.

The arrangements committee of the
Annual Prosperity Celebration had
meeting yesterday afternoon, and the
real work of preparing for the big
event have begun in earnest. That
the celebration of last October, al
though decidedly creditable, will be
eclipsed this year, there appears to
be no manner of doubt.
Instead of a one-day event, the COM
mittee decided yesterday to have
three-day celebration, and owing to
the fact that the Confederate reunion
is to be held here on October 13 and
IA, it was decided to have the cele-
bration on the 18th, 18th and 14th OF
that month, which will be on Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday.
In connection with the celebration,
a corn show will be held during the
three days. The first day will be ta-
ken up with the ceremonies attend
ent upon the unwilling of the Con-
federate monument and other matters
lin connection with the reunion; while
Ithe second day will be devoted to
the awarding of prizes for exhibits at
the corn show. Many substantial
prizes will be offered as an induce
ment to farmers to bring in specimens
of corn and other agricultural pro-
ducts to be placed on display at this
show.
On the third day of the celebration
the big program of the occasion will
be rendered. On this day there will
be one continual round of pleasure
and amusement, many new and move
features will be added, and the pro
, gram will be concluded with one Of
the most elaborate fireworks display
ever seen in this section of the South
