-FOUR GOOD GAMES
ON LOCAL DIAMOND
Grenada and Walden Are Both De.

Those who enjoy a good exhibition Of
the Great National Game have had am
pie opportunity to witness some of the
most stunning ball of the season on the

score of to 2, and the home boys
didn't half try either, so they most
positively assert. The batteries were:

Greenwood and Walden crossed bats
on Tuesday evening. The visitors won
by rub, the score standing s to ) in
favor of Walden. Batteries: Greenwood
Carr and Wells. Walden Turner and

Wednesdays game had to be called of
on account Of rain, but double-headef
was played Thursday evening. The
games were cut down to seven in
nings and the locals won both of them.
The first of Thursday evenings games
resulted in a score Of 7 to in favor ol
Greenwood. The Vaidenites worked
hard and put up good game, but they
were outcIassed. Batteries, Greenwood

In the second game the visitors seem

Cause OF the allure.

The fact that the assets are almost

some surprise, and it is really surpris-
ing that Mr.. Dickson did not manage to
make some arrangement to keep the
business going.
BY those who ought to be in position
to speak authorltativcly, 1t is said that
the decline of the business was caused
by the disastrous fire which occurred
on December 6, when the furniture de-
partment of the Dickson Company was
burned, entailing total loss Of about
$4,000
Mr.. Dickson has been in bad health
for several months and has consequent
Iy been unable TO give the business his

A Model Plant.

Hon. A. i. Gardner, in conversation
, with reporter of THE COMMONWEALTH
said that the entire party was delighted
with the reception given them by the
citizens Of Jackson. On arrival in the
city they were taken ip charge by a
committee and shown through the plants
Of the waterworks, light and sewerage,
after which they we're taken into full
confidence aud advised of all of the de-
tails Of operation the leaks and little
intricacies, and other things that will
be worth a great deal to those upon
whose shoulders will devoIve the con-
duct of the Greenwood system.
Mr.. Gardner sars the Jackson system
is the best in the South so far as he has
been able to ascertain. Politics are
never allowed to figure in, the selection
of the Board of Managers, which is com
posed of three men, one Of whom is
elected each year. All of the employees
of the concern are paid good salaries
and are consequently very efficient in
the discharge of their respective du'
ties.
1t is conscrvatively estimated that
Greenwood will receive a reduction Of
at least forty per cent in water and
light rates as soon as the plant passes
into the hands of the city and settles
down to business basis. Unless the
unexpected should happen, the city ol
Greenwood will come into possession ,oi
its public utilities some time during the
month of August In the meantime the
Council is arranging plan of opera
ton. 1t is probable that the jackson
Tenn, plan will be adopted as basis
for the conduct of the system.
