his substantial bearing indelibly i'm
presses one at first glance?
That Mr.. David Alexander will leave
early next month for a tour of his old
home State. Indiana? While at the
Hoosier State capital Mr.. Alexander
will add another degree to his station
| in Masonry, and will be away from
Greenwood about one month.
That Barrister Ed Stone is one of the
jolly kind who always has a smile for
those he loves and a grin for the other
kind? That his path through this old
world is strewn with roses. and that tru-
| ly every cloud has silver lining for
| him? Mr.. Stone is substantial Young
man Of much talent ani energy, and
when the jewels of success are gathered
and clustered we feel sure that he will
be in the bunch
That Calhoon Wilson. the "dashing
| blonde of the Greenwood Theatre, and
expert Cashier of the Delta Bank, is a
brilliant - man, shrewd, cold and
calculati Ein business, and that he is
rising rs.tf5idly in the financial world?
Pleasing in appearance, charming in
manner, clever to limitless degree. he
IS simply irresistable as ladies say, and
has his gaze fixed in the direction Of a

That \. l.. Dabney, the Chief Mogul
of the Light and Water plants, is a
splendid young man, as full of ambition
as the sea is Of water, and that as a
civil engineer his limit is the sky?
Strong in the knowledge of his ability,
inspired by the confidence which is
born of good sense and courage, he
would tomorrow assume the task of
building the Panama canal and laugh at
any one who said he couldn't do it be-
fore the contract time. Such young
man has happy Greenwood at the head
OF her most important public works, and
the city is to be congratulated upon
the fact.
That Miss Clara Dickson, a fascinat-
ing Memphis belle, was in the city
Thursday in the interest of the Mem
phis Musical Club, which will give
high-class entertainment here on next
Tuesday evening? Although an amatuer
IN the capacity of ''press agent, Miss
Dickson is absolutely irresistible, and
If the theatre is not packed and iammed
it will be no fault Of hers. If the other
nineteen girls of the Club compare fav-
orabIy with their representative, in |
beauty, culture, attractiveness and |
Greenwood young men to the Bluff City. |
That the whole world probably does |
not contain another like f. B. Wilkinson, |
the agent at the |. c. depot? 1t is in
deed rare occurrence to find a man |
acting III his capacity who either has |
the time or the inclination to answer |
questions or otherwise deal gently with |

son is just the opposite Of all others that
any one ever heard of, and the only fear |
the public has, rests in the fact that |
when his superiOrs find out what a gem |
he is they are very apt to promote him
and send him to Chicago or some other |
foreign country. 1t is real pleasure |
to have to deal with his popular road |
III Greenwood, if you have to
come in contact with Wilkinson If he |
fails to get his reward here below, it is
a safe proposition to believe that he
will get a good place in the happy hunt
ing grounds.
That Judge Il. W. Williamson is one
OF the most vigorous of men, notwith-
his seventy-three years? The
men are few indeed who could have suf-
fered the prlvations and the terrible re-
sponslblllties Of the great Confederate
Army and be the man the Judge is, both
and physically, after having
enjoyed more than the full allotment of
man. Since Judge Williamson's appear
ance on this planet he has served his
people IN most every capacity in the
catalogue, and served them faithfully
and we'll. At all times he has not been
IN full agreement with the majority in
things political or otherwise, but time
that marvellous melIower of all uneven
ness-has proven the wisdom of his
course, and there are those who have
seen the light and come to his way of |
believing. \ very interesting talker, is
the Judge, hard to get away from when
once he starts his wonderful memory
