Found Fine Land and Big Crops in Mississippi and South.

John Reed and Joe Pullins returned Wednesday night from a prospecting trip to Macon, Miss., near which place Winfred Pullins is managing a large plantation on which are grown cotton, alfalfa, corn and other products. Mr. Reed recently severed his connection with J. J. Lawler, as superintendent of the big Lawler ranch east of Rensselaer, and also contracted for the sale of his farm north of Rensselaer. He expects to move from Jasper county and may decide to locate in Mississippi, where he \ considers there is a fine opportunity for northern spirit and progress. Both he and Joe Pullins had several good managerial jobs offered them, and Mr. Reed priced several farms and may decide to buy and locate there. He states that Winfred Pullins is getting rich and will probably buy and make that country his permanent home. Mr. Reed brought back with him samples of cotton, Japan clover, corn, pomegranate and pecans, which are .on exhibition at Larsh’s drug store.
