DESIRABLE LOT PURCHASED ON
MOBILE STREET FOR THE
BUILDING.
DETAILS ARE BEING COMPLETED
The Warehouse Will be Branch Of
the Farmers Warehouse Co.
of the state.

A deal has been practically complet-
ed whereby Hattiesburg is to secure
one Of the largest branches of the
Farmers Warehouse Co. in the state
with all the advantages that are Incl
dental to these establishments. The
Warehouse Company has purchased
through Messrs. G.. C. and Stokes v.
Robertson one of the most desirable
lots in the business section of the
city for this enterprise, the lot having
been secured from Magruder & Co., at
the burnt district on Mobile street,
three-quarters of an acre costing $11,-
10000. This lot is easily accessible,
has ample switching facilities and
sufficient room for large future de-
velopment.
AS soon as the details are all COM
pleted the Warehouse Company will
begin the erection on the rear of the
lot of a large storage warehouse
where there will be ample room for
the storage of all kinds of produce and
farm products as well as cotton, and
this warehouse will be completed In
time for the fall crops. AS is gen.
orally known, the Farmers Ware
house Co. operates largely on co
: operative basis. For instance, there
was a market here last year for about
fifteen cars of sweet potatoes, and had
: there been any systematic and CO
e operative movement made, this supply
I could have been largely supplied. The
q Farmers Warehouse Co., had it been
in operation at that time, would have
brought the buyer and seller together.
The farmers would have brought their
potatoes to the warehouse, where they
would have been properly graded and
handled in car lots to advantage at a
nice profit.
The warehouse feature, however
is only one of the first advantages the
new company will provide. A cold
storage plant will be erected later
where small fruits, vegetables an6
eggs can be stored and suitably mar
keted so as to reach the high market
A syrup refinery will be another fea
ture, where a uniform brand of syruI
will be turned out and placed on ths
e market. The Hattiesburg section i.
l. the finest in the world for the raising
/ of delicious sweet potatoes. 1t raisei

increase the output.
2 The Farmers Warehouse Co., a
their Jackson department, has bull
up business that requires a clerica
force of fifteen to properly handle
: and there is no reason why the Hat
tiesburg department should not shoy
proportionate growth in the cours
of few years.

LARGE AND ENTHUsIAsTIc>MEET-
ING HELD SUNDAY AF-
TERNooN.
SEVERAL ADDRESSES WERE MADE
Baptist Association Will be Called
Together to Consider
Matter.

At the educational meeting held at
the Emmanuel Baptist church of this
city Sunday afternoon a movement
was launched towards the establish
ment of a Baptist State school for
young ladies and girls in Hattiesburg.
The enthusiasm of the speakers and
the large audience present was great
and those interested propose to leave
nothing undone in the accomplishment
of their purpose.
The movement was brought about
:, by an eloquent address made by Prof.
j. L. Johnson, of Clinton, Miss, who
made an address on Christian educa-
, ton and the need of Baptist institu-
stion for young ladies in Mississippi.
Addresses were also made by Revs'
I. P. Trotter, E. D. Solomon, A. L.
.O'Briant and Mr.. w. s. F. Tatum on
"Christian Education"
It was stated that Mississippi has nc
Baptist college for young ladies and
girls and that the denomination should
take action at once and establish sucf
a collegesin the state. 1t was also the
opinion of the speakers that Hatties
burg is the logical point for such al
Institution, and the sight of the ole
South Mississippi College the prope1
location in Hattiesburg for the new
Institution.
Rev. /. P. Trotter, moderator of thu
Lebanon Baptist Association, of whicl
the Baptist churches in Hattiesburi
and Forrest county are members
stated that he considered the nee'
|, great for such an institution, and tha
all that is needed to successfully es
tablish one, is to get some good mel
interested who will lead the move
ment.
Mr. Tatum said that he had hope
the Methodists would embrace the oil
portunity and establish Methods
school here, but that the Methodist
seem to be Indifferent in the matter
He will therefore, gladly co-operat
with the Baptists in an effort to bull
great female school here on tn
sight of the South Mississippi Co
1ege, in that he owns the property, a
well as that adjoining it. Mr.. TatuI
also said he is ready to make the Bal
fists liberal proposition towards 81
curing the property, and give tn
movement substantial support.
Rev. I. P. Trotter, as moderator {
the Lebanon Baptist Association, wa
requested to call meeting of th
executive committee of the associ
tion, and request the committee to ca
\ a meeting of the association at a
y fearly date to consider the establish
- snent of the college.
Mr.. Trotter announced that it woul
give him pleasure to call the meetir
of the executive committee, as r
quested.
The enthusiasm manifested by tho'
Iat the meeting, coupled with the pr
igressive spirit that permeates tn
section, is f1attering indication tn
at no distant date the great collei
will be built, ,and Hattiesburg W
