The need Of such an organization in
this city becomes more and more ap-
parent with the passing Of each day.
Our little city has reached that point in
IL history when the business men
should consult one another's interest
with m eye to the city's future ad.
vsncsment and prosperity. Capital
should b invested in the building Of
stores and dwellings. Factories Of all
kinds should be offered inducements to
sstablish themselves here in our midst,
and the farmers of the surrounding
country made to realize that the place
to receive more for their products, and
dry goods at lowest prices is with the
mcrchacts Of this place.
Such can be accomplished, and at
the same time make Greenwood the
city Of the Delta, For with the rich
and alluvial country that surrounds
II, with the bold and flowing streams Of
artesian water that gives us health;
with the low price of railroad freights
kept down by the river, If our people
will, by uniting together in such an or
ganixation- can bring it about.
