Some days ago u became known
that W II Bouslog NJ Gulfpoft, with
some associates, then unknown, had
purchased all tie cutoyer lands oi
W. Denny and Company lying along
the Pascagoua Northern railroad IA
far north az Hurley. These lands
consist NJ, approximately some H..
600 acres and have long been recog.
nized as among the finest OF agricul
tural lands In Jackson county. Fol.
lowing the closing OF this deal, the
information Is given out that Mr.
Bouslogs associates are r. b. Dunten
and /. A. Gingery, two northern gen
tlemen who have shown unlimited
faith in the ultimate greatness OF the
gulf coast, especially Jackson county,
by previous heavy Investments. Both
OF these gentlemen are highly capable,
thoroughly enthusiastic and sincere
and Of rare type OF excellent man
hood. Mr. Dunten came TO this city
less than a year ago as the secretary
and manager OF a colony company,
which position he recently resigned
to associate himself with Messrs.
Bouslog and Gingery In the new en-.
terprise. He brings with him written
endorsements and references from the
highest officials OF Indiana, his old
home, together with innumerable en-.
dorsements Of his ability and iriteg.
rity from banks, business and pro-
fessional men and gentlemen with
whom he has been associated for
years. His addition to Pascagoula
citizenship as permanent resident
is a distinct gain for the entire terri
tory socially, morally, financially and
professionally.
Mr.. Bouslog is, perhaps, one OF the
kest known men OF the coast terri
tory, and his long years OF experience,
his high moral and financial standing,
and his reputation for integrity and
honesty, insure those who deal with
him and the new company the falrest
and most honest OF treatment. Mr.
Gingery Is a successful business man
OF the North who is investing his
profits In the coast lands and who Is
one OF the most enthusiastic Of the
believers ia the ultimate greatness Of
this section. With men OF this class
10 charge of the new company, 1t is
certain that they will play very i'm.
portant part 10 bringing into quick
realization the settlement OF the cut
over lands. by citizens Of intelligence
aud labor who will adOrn this beauti.
ful land of sunshine and roses.
The closing OF this big deal opens
up for colonizing purposes the entire
territory adjacent to the Pascagoula
Northern railroad as far north as
Evanston, George county, where the
line intersects with the New Orleans,
Mobile and Chicago railroad, and the
dream of thickly populated county
appears to be on the eve Of quick re-
alization. The Pascagoula Northern
railroad, the first train over which
was operated less than one year ago,
makes this settlement possible, and
with its northern connections will
bring to THIS port the agricultural
resources OF central Mississippi, thus
becoming, in a few years, an i'm
portant trunk railroad that will have
40 even more important bearing on
the development OF the port into the
greatest OF gulf ports. The fact that
the Port OF Pascagoula Is the nearest
port 10 the United States to the Pan
anna canal, and the only one where
permanent depth OF harbor is posi-
BILE, will tend to make the railroad
line an important factor In the fur
ther development Of Jackson county't
agricultural resources, the county
that, for several years In succession
was awarded the highest possible
, prizes as the banner agriculture
county OF the state at the annua
state fairs.
