COMPROMISE REACHED
Permanent Roadway To And From
Paper Mill Site Guaranteed At
Meeting Of Supervisors.

The looked for wrangle at the meet
inv Of the board Of supervisors last
Monday did not materialize. Instead,
the meeting developed satisfactory
compromise between the people OF
the vicinity OF Laine and those from
Moss Point, and the matter was
agreed upon In short order
One month previously a petition
had been presented from the people
of the territory near Laine In beat

arate road district OF beat No 3 IL

the time, construed To mean that the
Territory in question desired to be-
come a part and parcel OF the physical
property of heat No 8. This was ex'
planned away satisfactorily. and every
indication pointed to the granting o'
the petition.
Last Monday morning the people
from the same territory came forwaro
with another request, superceding the
petitIon above mentioned. Several
con nferences were held during tne
morning, and the compromise reached.
During the afternoon this compro'
mise was made effective. 1t insuree

Better Land at Lower PrIoss.
''In Oregon recently read that
$4,000 an acre was paid for q certain
tract Of land. And yet right down
here in Mississippi as good or better
land than that Is waiting for an
owner at q price far below that. In
fact It may be purchased by any man
that really wants 70 buy It. And this
land here will show greater profits
than the $4,000 an acre land Of Ore
gon. That was orchard and, and tho
average profit an acre for orchard
runs around 5000 to 5000. The straw
berry is better paymaster than that
right here In Mississippi. There are
instances where 5000 and S700 an
acre has been realized from the lus-
cious berry that you people grow.
Good Roads Movement Starts.
Mississippi is making excellent
progress In good roads, and am
proud Of the fact that the Illinois
Central started that movement here.
But the good roads movement
