ANOTHER WEEK OF
DEVELOPMENT IN DIXIE

COLUMBUS, Ca, Sept 16.-The In
dustrial Index says in it's issue for
this week:
Prosperity is at hand.
1T is not full grown, but it is ex-
banding steadily, which is one of the
best features of the situation.
There is a marked increase in the
volume of business generally. The
marketing of cotton is beginning at
prices much better than were antici-
pated. Considering the cost of pro-
ducing the crop, the prices are far
from unsatisfactory In addition to
the good prices for cotton, this part
of the country has produced more
grain than ever before in any one yeaI,
and has produced much more of other
things for which there are markets, o.
which can be used at home, with say
ing of expenditure.
THAT prosperity is at hand is not q
matter of opinion-activities and de
velopments show it. Here are some Of
the illustrative items of the week:
Palm Beach county, Florida, has
sold 100000 of road construction
bonds at S7S5,56O, and accrued int
est, and will expend the proceeds in
the construction of good roads. Sem
mole county in the same state has just
voted $4,000 of road construction
bonds
"A bank with capital stock of 500
600 and surplus of 100000 has been
organized at Pensacola, Fla.
Three manufacturing plants i,
Rome, Ga, which have been operating
on short time with depleted forces

THE HURDY-GURpY.

The advent of spring releases the hurdy- gurdyA man flor slong wander fngs about the country.
 There is an air aof festivity about the street piano that its predecessor. the old stine hand organ was never able to acquIre. The merry ripple of it's rouIades seems suited to the ela+ ton of the spring season. Y People who are rnusica1ly sensitive assert that the hurdy-gurdy is usual= Iy out of tune and it's selections are trashy and trif1ing. Tn Boston and other critical cities street piano men are compelled to tune their instru- n1ents But7tne average man is not able to detect variations from the true scale. He feels instinctively that the hurdy y-gurdy music has a good bang ing rhythm This is often lacking in the pIaying of more serious instru- ments, training ine which costs a let of good money.
 The old time hand organ used to sound good to the country people, and when a monkey was added to the out fit. the children would follow it for rliles But it's melody was plaintive and dreary compared with the zhur- dy-gurdy,f which is so bright that the office girls cain hardly be made to work until after it fs1 out 6f hear ing.
