A NEW TOWN IN RANKIN


The Jackson Daily News, Fred
following TO say of Value, the fast
growing little town at the Brandon
depot:
rs it possible that the historic
town of Brandon is going to be over
Swallowed by another community
now in the process of building, and
located scarcely more than mile
away?
III looks that way, judging from
information gathered in the current
Issue of the Brandon News.
AT the Brandon depot there is
now rapidly springing up town
that, from the industrial viewpoint,
is OF far more Importance than Bran
don. This community is known as
Value. 1t has two lumber manufac-
turing plants, postoffice, several
stores, and 1t Is stated that Northern
people are coming In, buying build
ing sites, and preparing to erect
homes there.
at would seem inevitable that In
the natural course of human events
Value will either absorb Brandon, OF
Brandon will absorb Value, and in
the years to come it will narrow
down to a survival of the fittest.
jackson capital has had much to
do with the upbuilding of the town
of Value. The lumber manufacture
ing plants were established by the
HOWE brothers, John and Virgil, and
Mr.. George Manning of this city, and
both mills are now running TO the
full limit of their capacity"
For Mr.. Sullens' information, we
will say that the corporate limits OF
Brandon extend to within a few
feet of the depot. Should there be
any absorbing done, it is quite likely
that Brandon will conduct itself in
creditable manner.
