The Tupelo journal., 1913-01-17

In the heart of the best lands of North Mississippi, a little
east of the north portion of the state, lies Lee county which was
formed from parts of Pototoc and Itawamba, October 10Th, 1866.
In shape the county is a rectangle. Total area, 48O square miles;
greatest length north to south, 80 miles; greatest breadth east TO
west, 16 miles; assessed valuation of property over SI,WV,OOO
The financial condition of the county is excellent.
Nearly every form of farm products exempllhes the earning
power of Lee county. Cotton. corn, live stock, alfalfa, oats, poul-
try and hogs are being successfully raised throughout the county
and good markets have been established therefor.
For three successive years from the proceeds OF cotton alone
there were distributed $65. 90 per capita for every person, both
white and black, man, woman and child, in the county. The per
capita is nearly twice the average per capita of S34. 90 throughout
the United States.
Live stock is one of the most important industries and IS the
source of a big revenue for the county, During the past fall
one of our cattle dealers handled over $500 head within 90 days.
The lands of Lee county are being rapidly improved and their
value is yearly increasing. Lowlands are being drained by canals.
and their value increased from $40 to $125 per acre.

of gratitune and honor, above

for it was from his brains the

Crude at first. with this vast and
then unknown Mississippi region
as his security, he opened a
Bank of France. The bubble
burst, yet his failure was the first
stepping stone toward success,
and today the modern bank is
his idea, Wrought from the
system of a hundred years,
through the efforts of great
minds it has reached the perfec
ton of this day. Tupelo may
we'll be proud of her banking in
situations, for a town is judged
by them. They are the arteries
through which ebb and flow the
vital life of modern business,
and the first thing a capitalist
or merchant looks at in a city is
a bank. Encouragement or dis
enlargement to enterprises of all
kinds is held in the hollow Of
their hands.
