place and forever displace the runts

dwarfs which now occupy add dis
grace so many farms and pastures.
Greene County wants better business
better cattle, sheep, horses, mules
and swine. 1t needs better roads,
and schools, and churches, and hous-
es aud homes. All these the county
can have If the people will, and only
pull hard enough But II can t have
them, and a high prosperity, and
keep the cattle ticks. They don't
breed prosperity. They snly breed
poverty and plenty of it.
Now new era is dawning for Mis-
sissippi, and all the Gulf States. The
great Panama canal is soon to open
its gigantic gates to the commerce
of the whole world. tbs the great
est material work of Man. 1t has
cost Uncle Sam about $400, 900, 900.
1t will especially bless all the Gulf
states OF the Union. And Misslssip-
pi and Greene County are in the
very center of the greatly blessed re-
gion. 1t will send a new and mighty
prosperity through all the Gulf
states. But the canal will not alone
do the work. The people must act
and act in earnest. Texas is a
mighty state. 1t has an empire of
unoccupied and blessed lands. And
the state is holding out inducements
to migrating millions. The lands
are everywhere rising in value and
rapidly too. Let Greene County get
rid of her cattle ticks, and Join the
glad procession And her lands will
rise as they have risen in Illinois and
Missouri. Uncle Sam will help her
as he has helped other states. Let
not Greene County bring up the tail
end of the procession. The cattle
ticks must go.

Newspaper Publishers Joys Not Unmixed.

BrOokhaven Leader.
One OF the pleasing features OF
publishing country newspaper is
the variety of the things be meets
with. For instance; you publish an
item for which one man will compli-
ment you; another will cuss you
blind for the same item. Then you
meet man who diffuses sunshine
and still another who would, if he
could, keep you in perpetual state
of gloom. It's great. The only
wonder is that there aren't more
fellows at it. Another inducement
is that ii is money -making propo-
sition. The surest on earth. All
newspaper publishers are wealthy.
You never heard of one being in the
poor house or going hungry. Meth
er do they ever go to Jail (the Lord
only knows how they keep out. J
Some go to congress and some to the
dogs; now and then one gets a post
Office but you never saw one who
failed to stand up for his town, his
country and bis State. Their papers
are often referred to as dirty sheets,
but every man in the community
asks favors of them at sometime. and
they always gets them. too. It's
funnior than a circus.

For now what does Greene County.
and the whole state of Mississippi
want to insure to the people vigor-
Gus and a permanent prosperity? Is
1t not that the lands may be made in
real sale value to bring their true
and adequate price and real value
and then that those acres be made to
produce their utmost yield.
Now the price of land in Greene
County and the whole state of Mis-
slssippi is most wretchedly and re-
dlculouslv low. Lands in Greene
County. and in all Mississippi, do
not now sell for one quarter what no
better lands bring in cash in Ohio,
or Illinois, or Kentucky or Missouri.
No, not one quarter as much. These
lands should bring four times, at the
very least what they now dol What
lis the cause? Well, one main reason
is the prevalence of cattle ticks, and
the wretchedlY low price OF tick in
fected cattle. Greene County needs,
and specially wants vast increase
in the supply. and character and
breeds of its live stock. This is true
of the whole state. Greene County
wants horses and mules and sheep,
and swine as well as cattle, and Of
the best breeds. Greene County
needs now great herds Of royal short
horns, of great Holsteins, Of white
faced Herefords, Of sleek and fat
Polled Angus, Of blooded Jerseys

WASHINGTON'S SURVEYS.
George Showed Courage, Determine
ton and RESPONSIVENESS.

From the New York Times.
1t has long been known that young
George Washington was a careful, labori-
Gus and accurate surveyor, but the recent
veritication of his work, made by thor
oughly equipped experts with modern in
struments of precision, is interesting The
technical work was simple enough, but the
conditions surrounding il made il exceed
ingly hard and brought out the moral
qualities of the youngster In his gal
liant and patient fight with these condi-
tons he showed the traits that afterward
made him really great soldier and a
great leader of his fellows-determinatio
courage. intelligence, resourcefulness. The
work was dangerous as well as toilsome,
and with the means at hand was intri-
cate. Washington's own account of il
shows this.
1t also shows that. even in boyhood
undaunted as he was by hardship and diff
ficulty. he was far from buoyant i'm spirit
On the contrary, he was apt to be de-
pressed and TO indulge in a good deal of
grumbling-a tendency in which two later
great Americans, Lincoln and Cleveland
somewhat resembled him. But he never
allowed his depression to weaken his pur-
pose or grumbling to prevent him from
doing the utmost that could be done with
the men, the tools and the chances at his
disposal. Attention has recently been
called to Washington's "speculations" in
land. 1t is worth noting that a large part
of his landed possessions was granted to
him by the Congress as to other officers
of the army in recognition of services.
and i'm locating this land he used the
knowledge gained by him in his boyhood
il would seem. an unnatural
or improper advantage to take. His cor
shows that he was always
ready to aid fellow officers whom he
trusted with information and advice.
