the land is doing The condition Of the
farm houses, and of the barns and
stables are eloquent proof Of resources
combined with mans energy. How is
it here? With all due Difference to
our climate and soil, the appearance
of the average farm in the hills, es-
pecially if the owner is a non-resi-
dent and leaves everything to the
tender mercies of his colored tenants
is uninviting, TO say the least of it:
the impression made on the visitor
has a depressing effect, and he comes
to the conclusion that if the native
population in over a hundred years
has made no better progress in the
development of the alleged resources,
the new conner laboring under the dis
advantage of new climate and strange
surroundings and customs will fare
even worse.

mere investments by Northern CAPT
talists for future enhancement in
price of large tracts of land will not
change conditions materially. What
we need Is the small working farmer,

ing to induce him to leave his old
home and associations.

The late King Edward in his earlier
days was one of the worst rakes in
all Great Britain. Now We are told,
"all England mourns his demise" Any
peasant with half as many amours,
would have been hailed before the
courts and condemned to life tenure
of penal servitude; but 1.-THE King can
do no wrong" 1t is not much differ
ent in this country. Preachers talk
morals and parents teach morals and
Society pirates about morals, butt
would hardly be polite to say mo"e.
It was Hamlet, we believe, who said,
there's nothing good or bad, but
thinking makes it So" That seems
to be the individual code of morals of
this day, and Society at large is kind
enough in its indulgences to those

naked-eye observer at $3.50 a. m.
Some people have mistaken the morn
ing star Venus for the comet, but the
comet can be plainly seen little to
the north of Venus. The comet has
developed a long tail, which points at
an angle between the vertical and the
southwest, and which promises to be
a brilliant spectacle on the night of
the eighteenth, when the earth will
pillow its way through the tail like an
elephant going through a spider web.
The astronomers say that on that
night We will see many beautiful
shooting stars which the comet will
throw at us, most of which will burn
out in our atmosphere before reaching
the ground, and those that do come
through will be too small to be of any
great danger. They do not expect
any of them to be larger than wash
tub. Many beautiful diamonds have
been found in meteorites, and the
comet may leave us a rich legacy be-
fore bidding us farewell.
The comets intrinsic brightness, to-
gether with the reflection of the sun,
will make it quite conspicuous for
several weeks, from now till the eigh-
teenth in the morning sky, and after
the twentieth in the southwest eve
ming sky. The comets head is now
SO million miles from us, and is trav-
cling toward the earth at a velocity
of 100000 miles a day. AS the
, comets orbit is inclined eighteen de
grees to the orbit of the earth, the
comet could never strike the earth
The closest possible approach to the
earth would exceed six million miles
and at this time, it will not come
closer than 10 million miles.

INDUCEMENTS FOR IMMIGRANTS.

The Canadian Northwest is being
rapidly settled with the most desir-
able classes of European immigrants
and farmers from the Middle West.
that part of the Dominion having re-
ceived last year nearly $4,000 Ameri-
can settlers. One of the railroads
which owns large tracts of lands in
Western Canada does not limit its eff
forts toward inducing immigrants to
come and take advantage of the nat
ural resources of the soil, but clears
the land, builds houses and barns
plants the crops and sells the full
fiedged farm TO the settler who is thus
spared the hardships o pioneering
work. BY pursuing this method the
railroad has sold Numbers Of farms
to the best type of settlers from
Northern Europe who are land hun
CRY, but who do not care to settle in
wilderness and wait several years
before the Place begins to look home
like.
That this method of inducing set
tiers pays there is no doubt. Other
methods requiring less outlay I'M
doubtedly can be found but it is evi.
dent that the old way of a section at
tempting to induce immigration
through efforts useful only at home
will bring no results. The homeseek-
err should be informed of the oppor-
tunities offered him, and, if possible,
demonstration should be made to
him that the statements are not ex-
aggerated. When the prospective set
tier sees a well conducted farm which
pays well on the investment and la
Dor, he will have more faith in the
proposition than in the glowing de-
scriptions given by land agent when
the latter wants to make sale The
convention ia June should !
take up definite plan for an adver-
Using campaign and when the home
seeker comes to Mississippi 1t should
