Living in a peaceful valley, surrounded by a country that is not
excelled in fertility by any section of the Union, with a diversity
of interests unexcelled, lies the beautiful manufacturing City OF
Tupelo. The yield of her soil is akin to the famed Valley OF the
Nile. The hum of her machinery makes sweet music Tor IN
dustrial ear. and hundreds of laborers earn a sustenance Tor ther
families in her mills and factories. The good work is only 1alfly
begun, and the people of Tupeo will not be satisfied until tner
town stands without a peer in the realms of industry and enter
nrise. Two trunk lines of railway-the Frisco from Kansas
Civ TO birmingham. and the Mobile & Ohio, " from st. Louis to
Mobile and New Orleans-are avenues that tend to develop and en-
large the greatness commercially of the city. The combined ton
age of freight handled in and out of Tupelo last year by these two
railroads was 1870 900 tons. Favorable rates have tended to build
ND a wholesale trade that would be a credit to cities ten times the
size. Three wholesale grocery houses, with a combined trade OF
over 81, 900. 600 annually, show the advantages of our geographl-
cal location and the enterprise of our business men. The local
trade Of TupeIo extends over a radius Of from 40 to 60 miles of
thickly populated and prosperous people. The houses are hand
stone.
The business men themselves are broad minded, lberal, ener-
petic and ever ready to give the customer the benefit of their ex-
perience and good fortune. The market for farm products is With
out an equal in this section. In manufacturing Tupelo is the po-
neer in this country. The products OF her industrial plants ma
ready sale all over the United States. The cloth from her looms
is sold in Kansas City, st. Louis, Boston and New York, Where
textile mills are on every corner. The product OF her cotton oil
mills goes to France and Spain-even to Sunny Italy. Cotton is
shipped direct from Tupelo to England, Germany and China; live
stock shipped direct to Cuba and Havana. PARKWAY towns draw
upon Tupelo for barrel material. Northern factories depend upon
her for buggy and wagon spokes. The cotton crop of a nation is
weighed upon beams manufactured right here in Tupelo, and IN
reality there is no part of this glorious country that does not get
some part or parcel of its existence from Tupelo.

from deep wells, from 450 to 500
feet deep.
There is no water in the state
better adapted for household and
industrial use, and scarcely any
in the country which contains as
little solid matter. There is no
more healthful water. Drank in
the quantities that the famous
Stafford Springs water usually is,
it has about the same effect.
The probability is, it is just as
good, and can be used for the
same purposes and with the
same results as the Stafford
Springs water, which contains
so little solid matter.

GUARDING THE cITY'S HEALTH
BY Copying Nature In This Regard
Vital Progress to the End
Is Assured.

A winding stream, whose waters
pass over the weed growths of the
currents bed, and through the reeds
and rushes which line the banks, is
all the time performing a work of puri-
f~ication of water. The impurities are
being removed and a healthy balance
of sweet properties and proportions
restored to the liquid. This purifica-
ton is aided by myriads of living
germs which exist amid the growths
of water vegetation. The moral of all
this is that If we would have condi-
tons favorable to human life and
healthy development, we must keep
the balances of nature truly adjusted.
We must restore to our towns and
cities greenery and flowers, clean rum
ming water streams, and open spaces
In which the air can acquire move
ment over garden beds and through
the purifying filters Of tree leaves. We
must speed the movement for reserv-
ing parks and public grounds, COM
mons and old village greens, squares
and ~crescents, gardens, frontages, and
tree-planted streets and sidewalks. We
must resist all attempts to build over
spaces legally entitled to be kept
omen. 1t Is almost as important to
us as it would be to resist attempts
to brick up our windows and doors.

Street and Other Trees.

The highest state of civilization is
found in countries having extensive
forests and so %appreciative of trees
do these people become that the same
countries are noted for street n
roadside planting. In both respects
Germany stands at the top. No oun
try leads that nation in scientific for
estry, and none is more noted for
the number and value of it's highway
trees. We live in a section where
nature has somewhat neglected to pro-
vide US with trees, therefore we should
aim to repair this general oversight
by the liberal alignment of our streets
and highways with uniform lines Of
suitable trees. At present we are sad
" deficient in this respect.

Water Works and
Electric Lights.

Tupelo has a combined system
of waterworks and electric lights,
the plant being owned by the
city, and these two necessities
are given to the people at a min
imum charge.
The system is combined gray
ity from stand-pipe and direct
pumping. The stand-pipe accu-
mulates the surplus from the
pumps in excess of daily con-
sumption. The supply of water
is obtained from deep arteslan
wells of the purest water, same
having been frequently analysed
and found to be of the purest
and best kind. The system is
composed of two 175-horse pow
er engines, with pumps, electric
light machinery, ETC., and has a
capacity of 1,500 gallons per
minute, or 2, 900. 900 gallons ey-
cry "a hours, The tank and res
ervoir, with capacity of 100, 900
gallons, is made of metal, and
there is no chance for the water
to become stale or stagnant.
This combination has a capacity
sufficient to supply a city of 1O,-
900 people.
The water supply of Tupelo is
abundant. There are used by
the patrons of the water plant,
including one railroad, 400, 900
gallons per day. 1t is obtained

IIliteracy Decreasing.

It is gratifying to learn from official
figures furnished by the bureau Of the
census, at Washington, that in the en-
tire population of the United States
the percentage of illiteracy declined
from 1917 to IT in the decade from
1900 to 1910. The decline among
children between the ages of ten and
fourteen years var especially notable,
the percentage Of illiteracy being re-
duced from 7.2 to IL in ten years. The
general decline Of illiteracy marks the
improvement Of educational opportu-
ties throughout the country, and this
Improvement is most distinctly meas
ured in comparing the children who
have just passed through the schools.
Generally speaking, each successive
generation in the United States shows
a smaller proportion of persons unable
to read and write and this proportion
is always lesast for the children from
ten to fourteen years Of age. From
this it is evident that illiteracy is
considerably less for children than for
the aggregate population.-Manches

r. w. REED CO.
The Real Cash Store-A Fast
Growing Retail Concern

This business was started by
R. w. Reed a few years ago
with a few hundred dollars and
by his strict adherence to bus
mess and by his fair and honor
able business methods he has
attracted trade from all parts of
the surrounding territory. In

business slogan OF this firm. r.
w. REED CO., 1--WE Buy and
Sell for Cash and Sell for Less"
The firms success is nc doubt
largely due to their strict com
pliapce to this slogan. Their
store is known as a real cash
store. They make no charges
against anyone, not even them
selves. When they get goods in
their store they are paid for, when
they 60 out they are paid for.
By this means they out out. a
great expense and eliminate all
losses. Large assortments in all
the latest styles in dress goods
and trimmings, ladies' ready-to
wear, clothing for men and boys,
hats, notions, gents furnishings
and shoes are handled by this
firm who have the exclusive con-
troll in the city of "Styleplus'
SIT suits for men, Worth" hats
"Stricker Beitman" high grade
trousers, Hamilton Brown shoes,
which includes the American
Lady" shoes, and American
Gentlemen" shoes and "Secur-
ity' school shoes which have a
national reputation. Shoes that
for style, fit and service are not
surpassed in America. This con-
Germ is under the direct manage
ment of Mr.. R. w. Reed, who
has associated with him in the
business Mr.. Claud Gray, and
his brothers, R. F. Reed, ]. l..
Reed and A. K. Reed, all of
whom are stockholders in the
business. They have also engage
ed the services of Miss Madge
Feemster, of Nettleton, who will
supervise the dress goods de
partment of the business. Each
department is presided over by
competent and accommodating
salesmen thus assuring for its
patrons prompt, courteous and
efficient service.
This firm does extensive ad-
vertising, yet they are particular
in this respect, that the goods
they sell are always exactly as
they advertise. All the above
facts, taken with their uniform
superiority of the lines of goods
handle }, have built up the largesr
retail trade enjoyed by any sim
ilIar concern in the city.
