HON. PERCY BELL
GETS APPOINTMENT
Selected 10 Succeed Chancellor Carey c.
MOODY In This District.

Last Saturday night Gov. Yardaman
appointed Hon. Percy Bell, Of Green
vile, Chancellor OF this, the fth Chan
Gerry Court District, to succeed Judge
Carey C. Moody, who recently re.
signed. Several prominent lawyers
of the district we're applicants for tho
position, and the friends of each have
been very active in pushing their re-
spective claims. Notwithstanding tho
contest for the position, it is conceded
by all that the appointment IL good

cellor was n member OF the present leg
slature from Washington County. At
the last session, he made reputation
AS an Industrious and fearless represen-
tativo, being conspicuous in many con-
tests on matters ofinportant legislation.
without dlsparagement of his oppo-
nents, the friends of Judge Bell arc much
gratiiled at his appointment to this i'm
portant position. The new Chancellor

Two Well Known Books.

Many people confuse Wilson Barrotts
"Tho Sign of the Cross" with Conan
Doylc,s "rhe Sign Of tho Four" 1t Is
not by any means SO uncommon mis-
take as most people would imagine.
While both are very beautiful stories
they are not of an entirely different
class. One deals with the struggles Of
Christians in the days of Nero, while
the other is a modern detective story
pure and simple. 1t is usually the case
that a play is made from an extraordi-
nariIy successful book, but this is not
what happened with "Tho Sign of the
Cross" which is to appear in this city
shortly. The play was written some
two years before the author began to
realize what strong story he had In 1t
for book. Then appeared the novel
30 often confused with that of Conan
Doyle's, which so far remains undrama-
tized

capt Accompanied Prospective
rived
o at Possblai of

lu consumation Of a plan formulated
by Capt, j. +, Merry, Of the Illinois Cen
tral Railroad, mention of which was
made in an October number of THE
COMMONWEALTH, that gentleman arrived
in Greenwood by special train wednes-
day afternoon, accompanied by one
hundred and seventy-two gentlemen
from Illinois, Iowa and Indiana. The
object Of this excursion is to give these
people an opportunity to see for them
selves, by personal observation, the
magnificent possibilities Of this rich
region, the Nazoo Delta. The party was
composed of bankers, merchants cler-
gymen, newspaper men, manufact urCrs
farmers, stockmen, etc. 1t was a good
looking body of men, and one could not
help being impressed with the enthus-
astic earnestness displayed by them in
seeking information concerning the re-
sources Of this country. Scarcely any
Of the party had ever been in Missis-
sippi before, and the astonihsment dis
played by them at the fertility of our
soil, our vast timber interests, our other
industrial prospects and financial re-
sources, was great.
Previous to the arrival of the special,
Mayor Vardaman, with some two-score
citizens acting as reception committee,
repaired to the railway station. When
the train pulled in the visitors were
taken in charge, escorted to the Rel
man House, after which they scattered
about over the city.
A banquet had been arranged for at
the Reiman, and this splendid hostelry
presented an animated scene by the
time the lights were turned on. The
sp .cious dining room had been appro-
priately decorated, and the delightful
three-course banquet was all that could
be desired in that line. Pure Green

ARE SOLE OWNERS
OF OPERA HOUSE.
MesSrs. Stein & Wilson Have Purchased
the Interest of Mr.. Austin.

During the week deal was consum-
ated by which Messrs. Sam J. Stein and
Calhoon Wilson became the sole owners
Of the Greenwood Opera House, they
having purchased the half-interest here
tofore owned by Mr.. Il. II. Austin. In
conversation with one of these gentle
men, THE COMMONWEALTH was glad to
learn that the present season has been
an exceedingly prosperous one at this
popular Greenwood play-house.-in fact,
business has never been better.
The new owners are fully alive to the
demands of Growing Greenwood, and
recognizing the fact that the building
as arranged Is no longer adequate, many
improvements will be added before tho
beginning Of another theatrical season.
The stage will be 80 enlarged that the
very strongest companies playing in the
South may find ample accommodations
here. The system OF heating will be
improved, and in fact, everything will
be done to make Greenwood Opera
House just what is demanded by the
Greenwood public.

interesting addresses Of the evening.
He dealt largely with statistics which
went TO show the healthfulness Of the
Delta country, refuting the impression
held by many that this section is un-
healthy. DR.. Humphreys speech was
enjoyed by all.
Mr. Hostcttcr, Of Iowa, a visitor, was
introduced by Col, Gwin. This gentle
man followed in the wake Of the other
visitors who had previously spoken in
praise Of Greenwood, the country round,
the hospitality Of our people, and pre-
dicted great things for us in the near
future.
Capt. Gleason, President Of the Cotton
Exchange, was next introduced, and set
his hearers laughing by stating that
''now that the speeches are over, will
give you some facts,' or words to this
effect. The truth is, Capt. Gleason did
state some facts and figures concerning
the city and surrounding country, and
was we'll received.
There We're present at the Banquet
nearly two hundred visitors, and some
thing over fifty residents of Greenwood
The entertainment held on until two
O'clock a. NJ, and no pains were spared
by our people in seeing that our guests
enjoyed themselves, and that they should
leave here with a proper estimate OF the
greatness of Greenwood and the Green
wood district
The special pulled out OF the station
with the prospectors on board at 4
o'clock, A. NJ. The party took breakfast
at Yazoo City, and from there they went
to Clarksdale, Greenville, and thence to
New Orleans.
THE COMMONWEALTH regrets that 1t
has not space to print, verbatim, the
many expressions Of members Of this
party Of home-saekers and investors
concerning Greenwood. On all sides,
while inspecting our stores and other
places of business, exclamations Of sur
prise were continual. As is so well
known, Greenwood never does anything
by halves, and the manner in which she
entertained this small army Of prospec-
tive citizens will undoubtedly rebound
to her honor, and be the means OF adding
much to her population and francial and
industrial strength.

At the banquet, Col. Sam J.. Gwin
acted as master OF ceremonies, and the
first speaker Of the evening was Col, W.
NJ. Hammer, who on behalf of Mayor
Vardaman, delivered the address Of
welcome. Col Hamnors speech was
very appropriate, and through him our
Northern guests We're made to under
stand something of Southern hospitality.
Rev. Mr.. Price, OF Iowa, delivered the
response, which brought forth consid-
cradle appIruse,
Hon. G .A.Wilson was called on next,
and as was expected, made a splendid
speech. Tn address was replete with
information concerning the resources
Of this fertile region, and the magnii-
cent possibilities of Mississippi, indus
trially. The colonel received much ap-
plause when he digressed somewhat
from his subject to assure our Northern
guests that Mississippi was white
mans country, and would continue so.
After few remarhs by one of the
guests, Hon. S. II. Coleman was intro
duced. Judge Coleman highly enter
tained the banqueters; telling specially
of tae Greenwood Of long ago, and how
he had watched her grow from the lit
tie, muddy, insignificant village to her
present status--the best little city in
Mississippi. The jundge evoked much
applause when he pictured Greenwood S
future greatness.
Capt. Merry now responded. Those
who know the captain always expect
something good about Mississippi, and
they are never disappointed The Cap
tain gave his hearers some facts and fig
ures abont Greenwood and the Delta
country over which they will long pom

New Up-t0.Date Steam Laundry Now
Being Put IN.

One Of Greenwood's greatest needs is
an up-to-date steam laundry. 4 Laundry
that can do FIRST class work, and take
care of a large volume Of it. We are
glad to say now that the city is to have
such plant. Mr. y. Hossman, who has
been arranging for some time TO put in
laundry here, tells US that his nIachin.
cry is now here, and cling put in; that
it is first-cIass in every particular, and
that he will be running in very short
time.
The new laundry will be located on
Howard Street, near the Southern de-
pot, and will occupy Two buildings. Mr..

terprise, so badly needed, he viii re-

NEW ENTERPRISE FOR

long been felt by the people of Green

THE COMMONWEALTH is assured. We
We speak of an Electric Supply House.
For some time there has been much COM
plant on the part OF our citizens on ac-
count OF inability or delay in getting
electrical supplies, repairs, etc. No
body in particular has been to blame for
this state of affairs, the condition being
brought about by the increased demand
for such things, coming with the rapid
increase in the demand.
Mr.. R. +. Duffy, of New Orleans, is in
the city, and in conversation with
COMMONWEALTH reporter stated that his
purpose in visiting the Queen City OF
the Delta was to look over the field with
a view to establishing h ,re a general
electrical supply house. At his estab-
lishmcnt everything pertaining to cleo
trical attachments, and repairs will be
kept in stock, and competent employees
will be kept for the purpose of doing the
needed work. Mr.. Duffy expressed
himself as being well pleased with the
situation, and thinks he will be running
in Greenwoon very soon. If the enter
prise becomes certainty which now
seems assured, THE COMMONWEALTH does
not hesitate to guarantee Mr.. Duffy a
cordial welcome to Greenwood, and to
assure him that his business cannot be
otherwise than successful,
