as it really deserves.
During the past year there has

FRANK H. REID BUYS
OLD OIL MILL PLANT
Was Built for Cotton Mill and Later
for Oil Min. Main Building Has
Been Idle for Many Years.

Frank H. Reid Of Port Gibson has
purchased from the Hiawatha Gin Co.
what is known as the Mississippi
Cotton Oil Mill, with its several acres
Of land, almost in the heart Of the
town. The price paid is said to be
$4,000.
The mill was built in the early
eighties for cotton factory and op-
Grated several years as such. When
that failed the property was sold "a
the Mississippi Cotton Oil Co. and
turned into an oil mill This was
never profitable, and the building and
large tract of land was sold to pin
company, the small building on fbe
west side of the main building being
used for the past several years as a
gin, while the main building remained
idle.
A Few years ago a proposition was
submitted to the voters of the town to
buy the property and convert the
building into school building. but.
because of its size and construction
the measure was voted down.
The Hiawatha Gin Co. retained =
small part Of the grounds for their
gln plant, and it is stated that an
up-to-date gin will be put in.
It is not known for what purpose
Mr.. Reid bought the plant. Many
speculations on the subject are rife,
but Mr.. Reid himself is reticent. and
nothing is really known as to what
purposes it viii be used.

MISSISSIPPI GRAVEL BANS.

Mr.. J. n Mcleod, who has been
making Investigations in this county,
sends the Reveille the following:
The good roads movement and
government highways have caused
construction companies to look for
materials from whence to build these
great lines that mark the progress
of civilization High cost Of labor,
as well as price Of everything in this
line, have made contractors look up
the states output Of gravel.
The Mississippi river has reveal
ed an untold wealth IN her great grav-
el bars-all washed out ready for
immediate use, accessible to 0rk.
as can be barged to near landings,
loaded on trucks, and delivered to
roads at once.
Those bars appear on the sides,
where the accretions of the river
have made it impossible to levee.
Most noticeable are those below Yicks-
burg. One of the largest Of these,
is where the river has made q wide
detour on left of Davis Island, known
as Togo, where the river encircles
many thousands Of acres Of finest
delta land The waters course SEEM
ed to be changed by this emmense
gravel bed that shows thousands of
yards of this material for concrete or
road work. Rodney has another wide
bend. The beds are now being exca-
waited above Natchez Of similar bars
and the out put is said to be making
fortunes for the owners.
1T can be safely said from the
gravel strata on adjacent lands and
river, that the counties that II a.
long the Miss. river can boast they
have the material. All that 4 raed-
ed is labor to give this country one
Of the best speedwavz in the SOUTH"
