It has been my privilege within
the past few months to drive the
length and breadth of Mississippi.
Everywhere there are signs OF in
creased business activity and
growing prosperity - not only in
our towns and cities, but all along
the highways in between.
Mississippians are growing cat
tie now as never before - and the
next few years, / am convinced,
will see us make even greater
progress along this line. We have
only scratched the surface.
But we are going to have to go
some to catch up with Texas. Out
here in the wide open spaces the
winter pastures r coming up
now - and they are beautiful
sights to see. Large handsome
ranch houses are all freshly
painted and beautifully kept. Fat
cattle Craze in the fields and there
is no sign whatever of a poverty
stricken country. Where the cattle
feed there is money.
I hope no Mississippi farmer
will make the mistake of blowing
up a single acre of pasture to grow
cotton instead next season.
Out in this land of milk and
honey ibid you know Texas will
rank third in the nation this year
in the production of honeyO no
visit to Texas is complete without
a visit to Neiman Marcus, one of
the great stores of the world.
/ spent Monday afternoon there
had a wonderful time. Found a
purse I had looked for while in
Italy in January - nc wonder, the
Italians were making them ex-
clusively for Neiman-Marcus in
America. Had no trouble finding
beautiful matching gloves from
France. At this one spot they
have gathered for a discriminating
clientele all of the beautiful things
of the world for milady - includ-
ing a $40, 1000 emerald cut diamond
and S $3.50 silver blue platinum
mink stoles. The saleslady assur.
ed me they sell more fine furs thar
in the stores of New York - anc
Idon't doubt it a bit.

HAZEL
EYES
The Baker Hotel
Dallas, Texas
October 81, 1850
by Hazel Brannon Smith

Highway 80 is the route you
take If you're in Mississippi and
want to come to Dallas - and a
more beat up road I've never seen
especially across the entire
state of louisiana. OF course we
Mississippians can afford to pat
ronize other states - now that
we have such a fine system of
highways. But I'll tell you one
thing - our highways aren't going
to be that way long if the big
trucks are allowed to keep on OPP
Grating like they are now - in
Mississippi and elsewhere.
The highway from Monroe to
Shreveport is especially dangerous
with barricades at stated intervals
practically all the way. The bar
ricades are up first on the right
side of the road and then on the
left where the highway is con-
stantly being repaired. The cost
of maintaining this highway is
bound to be terrific - but it has to
be kept up.
In addition to tearing III high
ways up these huge trucks are
making automobile driving a ha-
zardous thing. They have taken
practically all pleasure out of driv-
ing through this beautiful coun-
try of ours.
I, for one, think something ought
to be done about taking the
trucks off the highways. 1t doesn't
matter how much taxes they pay
it's not enough to pay for crowd
ing the private automobile off the
road.
Anyone who has driven on high
way 81 in Mississippi lately
knows what I'm talking about.
