WEEKLY, SEMI-WEEKLY AND DAILY MISSISSIPPIAN [JACKSON, MS] January 3, 1860 - July 10, 1864 SEMI-WEEKLY MISSISSIPPIAN [JACKSON, MS], January 3, 1860, p. 1, c. 7 Southern Manufacturing Village. A correspondent of the Mobile Mercury recites the interesting and instructive history of the village of Bankston, Choctaw county, Miss., the seat of a thriving cotton factory, the origin and source, indeed, of the village's wealth and prosperity. Eight years ago, when the factory was established, Bankston was but a rough place, situated in a muddy creek bottom, and surrounded by a rough population. Beyond the factory, indeed, nothing was to be seen but the trees of the forest, the stumps and tops of what had recently been trees, and here and there a house of no pretension to beauty, and hardly affording the necessary comforts of life.
