A Simple Statement.

Greenwood received for the sea
son just drawing to a close more
than 10000 bales Of cotton.
At an average Of sos a bale this
means that the planters of tic
Greenwood territory received more
than S5,N0N,000 in actual cash for
the crop.
No other Mississippi town can
make a similar showing.
No other city Of equal size in the
United States can lay claim to a
single crop that will even approx
mate this enormous SUN.
And this is saying nothing about
the other marketable crops raised in
the Greenwood territory.
1t does not include the products
OF our several manufacturing in
dustrics, nor the weekly and month
ly pay rolls that add no little to the
local trade,
DO you wonder that Greenwood
grows?

Another Straw.

For the four months ending Aug.
last year the total receipts of the
Greenwood postoilicc were S2.S62.-
%.
For the same period this year the
receipts were, $~3,G7SSl, a net gain
Of $SlG.5S.
And this in spite Of the fact that
last year a large amount Of the rost-
Office revenue was attributed TO the
large patronage accorded the local
postolice by the Nardaman CAM
paign Committee.
This year there are no unnatural
causes for the increase in the bust
ness Of the office, which must be at.
trIbuted solely to the unprecedented
growth Of the city.
AT this rate Of increase the bust.
ness Of the Greenwood postoTice
will double every three years.
All competent authorities agree
that there is no better barometer Of
community growth than the receipts
OF the local poStofficc.

A Wheeibarrow Factory.

The unprecedented demand for
wheelbarrows and the consequent
increase in price from Sll TO Sl3
a dozen ought to make the manu-
iacture Of this useful implement
very profitable.
The iron wheels usually used in
the best grades Of wheelbarrows
cost about Is cents apiece, The
woodwork can be done at nominal
cost as very little skill is required.
A man who is in every way iami-
liar with the whcelbarrow business
informs The COMMONWEALTH that
complete whGclbarrows can be turn
ed out for less than IS cents each,
which leaves a very good profit, as
the machinery for a whcelbarrow
factory is inexpensive.
In several towns in Mississippi
whcelbarrows are purchased in car
bad lots. Thousands Of them are
used annually on the Mississippi
lecycs and they may be found on
every plantation in the Delta by the
dozen.
Plenty Of timber for the manufac-
ture Of whcclbarrows can be secured
within easy reach Of Greenwood,
This may be your opportunity.

Two well-known characters,
William Edgell, of this city, and
James Denbow, of near Mata-
moras, engaged in a disgraceful
fight last evening on Water street.
The fight occurred at about 7
o clock just opposite the Eagle sa-
loon. Both men were under the
influence of liquor, as is usually
the case, and fell out over a triv-
ial matter.
Denbow was severely punished,
having been rendered unconscious
for a time. 1t is stated that Ed
gell had on steel knuckles, and
Denbow's face and head has every
evidence of this fact, as he receiv-
ed a number of frightful cuts.
Edgell is an old offender, and
an all-around tough man when
he has whiskey under his belt.
He has figured in police court
quite frequently within the past
few months.
Denbow is also said to have a
bad record, and until very re-
Gently was employed on the
steamer Ruth as deck hand.
Soon after the fight the police
took Denbow to the City Building
and medical aid was given him.
AS soon as Edgell espied the off

hended. Chief Williams chased
him to the pump station, and
from there to the B. & o. railroad,
when the policeman abandoned
