1.-THE Tribune purposely avoided compounding
tho increase as suggested by our correspondent,
because the technicalities involved are not ooVl-
Gus 10 the general reader and because the fed
eral Census Bureau has chosen to use the SIM
pler method in it's calculation of such increases.
THAT is IL takes the ten year gain as whole
and assigns one-tenth of it TO each year or the
decade There is little practical difference IN
the results reached by the two methods. ana
irregularities in growth are probably better OH
set by the federal method-Ed-1

Rr1LD THE I%NFIRMARY.

The resolution introduced by
Mrs. A Nee Kimbrough and adopt
ed at the recent meeting of the MIS-
sissippi Press Association, asking
for subscriptions with which to
build a conyalescents' infrmary at
the old soldiers home at Beauyolf'
is published on another page Of To-
DAYS Commonwealth. This appeal
will no doubt be readily responded
to by the generous people Of MiSslS-
sippi, as the necessity for an iniirm-
airy in connection with the home can
not be questioned. Most Of the old
veterans who 60 to the home are IN
bad health, and several have died
soon after going there, and a well
equipped infrmary would be OF
much benefit to these old patriots
in their last days.

Providence is going right ahead
reducing the cotton acreage IN a
most disagreeable manner to the
planter who attended the meetings
with a foolish idea that the other
fellows would do what he never had
any intention Of doing. There has
been no speech making on the part
of the elements, They have gone
about this acreage reduction bust
ness in a systematic way. 1t has
been more effective than a thousand
conventions and there has been no

GRADUATING ESSAYS.

The Commonwealth begins this
week the publication Of the essays
written by the seven members Of
the graduating class Of Greenwood
Graded School. Owing TO the size
Of the class il was deemed advisable
by Superintendent Saunders TO have
a committee, composed Of three men,
berS Of the faculty. select three of
the essays to be read at the closing
exercises Of the school on Wednes-
day evening. The committee select
ed the essays OF Misses Annie
Hughes, Henrietta Alexander and
Master James Gordon Gillespie TO be
read respectively on this occasion,
and these three appear in this weeks
issue of The Commonwealth. Next
week the essays Of the other four
graduates will be printed. All of
them are interestingly written and
are we'll worth reading. We hoped
to be able TO publish each Of them
this week, but being short Of help
and space we will have to run them
in two issues.

The Greek letter fraternities have
caused eight members Of the Senior

pi to be expelled from that institu-
ton without being permitted to
graduate. Friction has often been
caused by the f~raternities at the

interests Of the school would be sub
served ii they we're abolished by the
authorities. 1t seems impossible
for the faculty and trustees to con-
troll them during the past few years.

The continued heavy rains
throughout this section OF Mississip,
pi are giving the planters, mer,
chants and people generally a pref
ty severe case of blues. While a
goodly portion of the cotton and
corn crops have been planted and
fairly good stands are reported, the
wet weather has interfered with
work to such an extent that the
crops are getting badly in the
grass. OF course several days of
good weather would improve the
prospects wonderfully, but Just now
tho outlookis not very flattering.

UNPRECEDENTED GROWTH.

The growth Of Greenwood during
the past few years is simply phe-
nomenal. Within less than a half
dozen years Greenwood has grown
from a population Of about three
thousand 10 more than six thousand
progressive, prosperous and content
ed people. Greenwood is today
making greater and more rapid
strides in the progressive march OF
this great Southern country than
she has ever known at any time in
her whole history. Mammoth man
ufacturing plants are gradually be-
ing established within her prosper
GUS limits; wholesale grocery, hard
ware, ~jewelry and dry goods houses
are filling orders galore TO the retail
trade for a distance OF easily fifty
miles in almost every direction from
this city; the gigantic lumber, staye,
heading and planning mills are daily
making shipments Of their products
to almost every quarter OF the globe;
Greenwood manufactured furniture
is in demand everywhere by the re-
tail dealers; the city has a complete
system Of water works, sewerage and
electric lights; she has fine churches
and good schools; she has five banks
as solid as the rock Of Gibralter,
her cotton buyers are among the
best in the South; her cotton seed
oil mills and cotton congresses are
unsurpassed; her cotton receipts this
season will reach over 10000
bales; her railroad and steamboat
transportation facilities are splendid
and will soon be very much improv-
ed; with pure artesisn water and
good sanitary regulations her health
is far better than any other Delta
city; her merchants carry complete
lines of goods and sell them at
proper prices; she has two one hun
dred thousand dollar capital build
ing and loan associations just organ
lied; an electric interurban railway
system chartered and will be built
within the next year; the county is
having erected here the finest court
house in the State; and last, but not
least, Greenwood has a citizenship
Of tho biggest-hearted, most whole
souled, enterprising people in the
world. Then, why should there be
any wonder at hos -f-ovpo.tVy:
Her banks have the largest working
capital OF any city and county in
Mississippi, and each Of them have
confidence in the future growth Of
Greenwood and Lehore county, and
DO not hesitate to let their money
out on the good securities our peo-
pie have to offer them. The above
arc a few Of the many reasons why
the people all over the country are
looking this way and arc coming
here and making Growing Green
wood their homes.
