Greetings from Mississippi
Unused Tichnor Quality Views card 72662, linen, slightly aged (appropriately) and classic Large Letter. The caption tells us Mississippi’s population in 1940 (2,183,796) and yes, that *will* be on the test. Grade: 1

Meridian, Hoye’s Sanitarium

Code: 10125045
Price: $5.00
Columbus, Mississippi State College for Women
Still there, in a later generation (Wikipedia: “Mississippi University for Women is a coeducational public university … It was formerly the Industrial Institute and College for the Education of White Girls and later the Mississippi State College for Women.”) and this unused card issued by the Mississippi Advertising Commission shows students executing drill formations. By the way, about 20% of those now enrolled are male. Serrated edges. Grade: 1

Code: 10125046
Price: $6.00
Natchez, Stanton Hall

Code: 10125048
Price: $3.00
Meridian Female College
Google and Wikipedia were made for postcards like this. So, “The Meridian Female College was founded in 1865 by members of the Mississippi Baptist Convention and Rev. John B. Hamberlin, who ran the school until 1872, when he was succeeded by L. M. Stone. By 1904 the school had closed.” Now as for the card, it had been mailed in 1905 and has overlapping sending and destination postmarks, but the stamp is long gone. Heavily aged. Grade: 4

Code: 10125049
Price: $5.00
Nanih Waiya State Park
Greetings from Nanih Waiya State Park, on an unused card whose caption squeezes a lot of information about sacred mounds, the Choctaws, dates, and so on, into seven lines. Deep South card DS-713. Grade: 1

Code: 10125050
Price: $2.00

Natchez, Elmscourt
Unused Deep South card DS-627. This residence was built in 1810, or 1835, or 1836, and was famed as “The House of a Thousand Candles”. Online sources split its name into Elms Court, and apparently its other claim to fame is having been a Union house in a Secessionist state during the Civil War. Grade: 1

Code: 10125053
Price: $1.00
University, C.M. Tad Smith Coliseum
An official University of Mississippi unused card, serrated edges, proudly describing the facility, its capacity and uses. Grade: 1
