THE COMING YEAR.

The people or N0xuDee county
with faith grounded ON reason
can look forward hopefully to the
year 1914.
The wear just past has treated
our people kindly. No epidemic
of sickness, no great financial de-
preston, no failure in crops or
any other physical or economic
misfortune has visited us. The
storm in the spring did some of
our people much damage, but on
the whole the county has been
prospered.
The year 1914 finds us in ex-
cellent shape to do better than
ever before. Corn cribs are full,
hay-stacks are many, and silos
still hold enough food to last till
grass comes. Plenty of meat has
been cured and hogs. horses and
cows are plentiful and in good
order. Our farmers are no long
er dependent on cotton alone.
Here in Macon is a daily market
for all the milk that is brought
here. and cattle and hogs are SAL
able at high prices any day. So
also hay finds a ready market.
Compared to few years ago,
the farmers of this section find
their resources multiplied in num-
Der and that, too, without hinder
ing in the least the production
and sale of cotton, still our staple
resource.
Truck growing opens a most
promising field to ,ur farmers.
The county association has pro-
ceeded on wise and liberal lines.
and if our farmers will avail
themselves of the opportunit!
given them it will mean much to
them and much to Noxubee coun
ty. Here lies partial insurance
against poor cotton crop or poor
prices for cotton next fall.
We have good roads through
much of the county with more to
come. The cattle tick is about
eradicated and our cattle doubled
in value thereby. Our schools
are in full operation, our county
and city treasures without def
cts, and our poor house and Jail
nearly empty, the former having
as inmates only old and decrepid
people, and the latter only one
inmate, a negro.
There was little crime in the
county in 1918, and the present
moral condition of the county, |
while not what it should be, is
fairly good-as compared to the
rest of the state it may be called
excellent.
With lowered tariff and a
bettered national financial system
and all our hopeful local condi-
tions Noxubee county can make
1914 the banner year of it's ex-
istence.
