f VQL 40 TUPELO MISS, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1912 NO. 34
Industrial Agent of Frisco Here.
Mr. F. S- White, the Horlicul
tural and Agricultural Con.mis
sioner of the Frisco, was in Tu-I
pdo with his car of exhibits this
w ek and spoke to a small but in-j
t rested crowd of farmers and
business men at 'he court house
i'uesday night Mr- White talked
for more than an hour along lines
i i improvement, diversification,1
and advantages that we Southern
people, Lee countv people, have, j
He compared the labor of our
country with that of the north j
and west, and the value of lands .
m this country with that of the}
•r> a: wheat and corn belt, show-;
g that our advantages are tori
mu t rior to the advantages of the j
we tern or northern farmer.
Among other things he men- j
t oned teat while in the month of
October out' flowers are blooming. :
\eg*-tafion growing, cattle grax- i
ingonthe green pastures, and j
■ he farmer enjoying the Facing i
October weather, the northern!
fanner, in Canada, is housed in j
and feeding his cattle in very1
. fosely built barns. Snow and
ice have already made its visits
"i such countries. Ten years
ago, he said, he visited Winepag,
hen a small village, but now it is
a city, with more than 200,000
hustling, rustling people. People
who are busy for twelve months
in the year, notwithstanding the
fact that snow and ice surround
them for half that time. Yet the
arming lands are much higherj
in price than our lands and only
one or two crops are produced on
them, while we can grow a mul
ti t'ude"6 fcrops.
The trouble lies in the fact that
we are not willing to take hold
; nd do what is necessary to build
no our country. Mr. White made
Mention of the fact that the Hol
1 j Springs Experiment Station
1 as done wonderful things in the
way of filling gullies, and budd
i ig up soil, yet he was told by
t ie head of that station that not
More than a half dozen farmers;
• f Marshall county would ever j
\ isit his farm, to inquire into;
toe great work be:ng done by j
t he state for the benefit of the j
a ery men who would not take j
uny interest in the matter.
Again. Mr. White called at
tention to the fact that we south
«- rn farmers can grow two crops
v of Irish potatoes in the same
>ear, and one of sweet potatoes,
while the northern farmer can
gruw but one of Irish potatoes
ana none ui swetn. una iau
within itself is evidence that any
man who will work and use good
judgment can not only live well
bat make good money farming
hook at the great Memphis, Bir
ff mingham, Mobile and St. Louis
markets where 40 per c nt of the
people never have milk, butter,
po'atoes or meat to eat. Look at
me prices now offered for such
products, and the facilities for
hauling same into those markets.j
There are seasons when such a|
thing as sweet potatoes can’t be J
found on these markets, and yet■
there is plenty of soil around!
Tupelo that will grow 200 bush-|
els of this crop per acre, Tnink
of it, and the price for two years
has not been below 50 cents per
bushel, and from that to $1.50.
There are so many good le: sons
to learn and the opportunity is so
great for learning them.
Notice.
To the patrons of the Moving Picture Show
and Cumus Theatre:
A Cumberland Telephone has been installed
in the office of the Theater, tor the con- j
venience of its patrons. If you are a profes-,
sionat man and want to go to the show, leave I
. word with the party calling that you will be j
at the picture show or Thertre. If you desire |
to call any one trom the theatre, the telephone
will be at your disposa tree ot charge.
COMUS THEAmE CO. I
Conference Invited Here.,
The congregation of the:
Meth idist church here has ex j
tended an invitation to the1
North Mississippi Conference to
hold its 1913 annual conference!
in TupelQ. This invitation was
unanimous on the part of the
church and the citizens generally
join in extending a mast cordial!
invitation to the conference to
come and hold their session here*
t ext year. It has been te 1 yea s
since Tupdo had this honor and!
since that, time Tupelo has more
than d ubled in population and
our facilities for entertaining
have greatly increased.
The delegates to the conference
at Greenwood will be instructed!
to in ' their best efforts to get
the conference to vote for Tu
pelo. The conference usually.
shifts from one side of the state;
to the other and as the western
portion entertains this year the;
privilege and pleasure falls toj
| this side of the state next year;
and Tupelo covets the honor.

in his part as ‘‘will-he hurry”!
the bell hop will make you laugh
everv minute he is on the stage,
and there are very few minutes

tbtft he is ‘‘off stage.” Taking!

Mr. Wilson goes into the White

Portersville, a small station on

totally destroyed by fire Sunday

The democratic rooster found
in so many of the weeklies re
sembles the same old bird, but
has lost some of his tail feathers.
All three amendments sub-1
minted by the last legislature
failed to receive sufficient votes
to become a part of the State
Constitution. The people acted;
wisely in voting down at least
two of these amendments. The
only one with merit, the one
changing the jury system, fared
no better than the others and
was hopelessly lost. The people
of the State are loafhe to change
their fundamental lavs and it is
well to let well enough alone.
An excursion train which had
halted at Monts, La., was run
into by a freight that was fol
lowir g and fifteen people killed
^nd many irjured. Such ac
(idents seem to be due to bad,
train dispatching. Evidently the!
trains were not run with
sufficient time between them to
insure safety. It was charged
that the flagman of the ex
cursion train failed to put out
•he cvstomrry*signals. Railroad
employees, like other people,
who work all night lo-e much of
their mental equipoise and many
