Mississippi State Capitol 



Mississippi's Welcome 



In its civic and religious life, Mississippi holds out a broad, cordial and tolerant 

 welcome to those from all parts of the world who may come in a spirit of righteous 

 and patriotic citizenship seeking a place in which to cast their lot. 



Perhaps in no state in the Union is found a more thorough and cordial relation- 

 ship existing between the people of the towns and cities and those of the country 

 districts than in Mississippi. 



This feeling of common fellowship makes for healthy and stable public 

 thought, of oneness of purpose for the common good, and is free from those 

 elements of differences, discord and unrest with which some communities are 

 unfortunately afflicted. 



Insofar as the general outlook and settlement and investment privileges are 

 concerned, Mississippi presents the attractive prospect of being a land of "Fron- 

 tier Opportunity" — where twenty millions of acres are yet to be had at moderate 

 prices — the pre-eminently great opportunity, where the man of moderate means 

 may yield to the deep-souled and home-building impulse of the real American, 

 with every assurance of success and happiness. 



And it is not amiss just here to say that there is only one direction that land 

 values in Mississippi can take, and that is — UPWARD. 



Here are unbounded opportunities for the settlement of the gallant soldiers of 

 the Republic, now returning from the stress and storm of war, as well as others 

 who may be seeking a new land where they may spend their days amidst happi- 

 ness and plenty — as the great privilege is given under an over-ruling Providence. 



Being richly favored with all that may bless and prosper human kind, this 

 State keenly realizes that its greatest present and future need is more good, 

 thrifty people to come and share its unlimited bounties and help in the building 

 here of a prosperous and splendid civilization. 



Mississippi sends greetings to those of other climes — the great North, East 

 and West, as well as here in the genial Southern land — and stands with out- 

 stretched hands to extend them a cordial invitation and bid them a generous 

 welcome, where all may strike hands with united hearts and energies, pledged to 

 the common purpose of bringing her marvelous natural resources into life and 

 adding them to the Nation's great storehouse of wealth.
