TIMELY WARNING
SAVES MANY LIVES,
Miller Building Destroyed by Storm Short
b After Being Condemned.

The condemnation of the Miller build
ing as being unsafe probably saved a
number Of lives last Monday night. For
some time it was known that the build
ing was not in a very safe condition,
and an inspection of the property was
made under orders from the city author
tiles, and last Monday the building was
condemned as being unsafe, and Mr..
Arterbury, who has been occupying the
property as a shooting gallery, moved
out, and the passage way in front was
closed to the public.
Monday night about II o'clock the
storm played havoc with the walls,
blowing them to the ground. AS Mr..
Arterbury's place was popular resort,
AMI at the hour named a number of peO-
pie would in all probability have been
in the building, the timely warning of
the building inspector no doubt saved
many lives.

CONFEDERATE MONUMENT
Mr.. Row an Thdyer Makes Prdctjcdj
and Timely Suggestion.

In CONVEX sation with Commonwealth
man the other day, MIR. Thayer made a
suggestion which is not only timely, but
which, if acted upon, will add much to
the many points of local interest in
Greenwood. Mr.. Thayer said:
''Now that we are to have the finest
court house in the country, erected up
on a large and beautiful lot, why not
have Confederate monument located
on the northeast corner of the court
house square, overlooking the mighty
YaZoO." 1t was serve to commemorate
the the brave deeds of the noble men
who responded to their country's call,
and gave their lives for a cause which
they deemed right and just
The Commonwealth thinks the sugges-
tion splendid one, and trusts that some
one will take hold of the movement and
push it until the monument will be an
assured fact.
| Mr.. Thayer stated that he would sub
scribe $50 to get the movement started
and there are no doubt many others who
would contribute literally.

TWO new BANKS
FOR LEFLORE COUNTY.
One at Sidon and Another at SChIater
Soon to Begin Business.

AS briefly mentioned in the Common
wealth last week, Lehore County is soon
to have two new banks. One of them
will be located at Schlater and the
other at Sidon. MessrS. Jones and
1hayer are the moving spirits IN both
enterprises. and orders have already
been placed for the valurs band fixtures,
stationery, etc. The charters are now
being published in the Commonwealth,
and as soon as they are approved by the
Governor, the organization will be COM
pleted, and it is expected that cry
thing will be in readiness to begin bus
mess by the first of September. The re-
port last week that a second bank would
be organized at Sidon seems to be pre-
mature, and it is understood that the
gentleman who contemlated organizing
the second bank at that place, will Join
Messes. Thayer and Jones, and make one
strong financial institution at this thriv-
ing place.
The general prosperity which prevails
all over the county has made it neces-
sary that the people of these two enter
prising towns have better facilities for
transacting the financial affairs, and
these banks have been projected to
meet the requirements if existing condi-
tions.
The names of the gentlemen behind
the movement are sufficient guarante
of the entire success of the venture.
