EXCITING RESCUE.

1t seems as if the handsome Georgian
had ventured a little too far from shore

the chilly water until she had disap-
peared entirely. Such calamity great

Theatrical Notes,

performance at the local play house
Tuesday evening to a good house, and
the cast was up to its usual high STAN
dard
The first part ensemble entitled "Fete
Militarie,' presenting the entire
strength of the company, was good in
all respects and elected much applause.
Nearly all the specialties We're new and
good, and kept the audience in a state
of constant good humor all evening.
Only mass of matter and lack Of
space prevents US from giving long
and appropriate review of "The Run

on Thursday evening. 1t was probably

A Hard Wood Lumber Mill Seeking a
Delta Location.
GREENWOOD SEEMS T0BE GOAL.
r. L. Ciore and son of Kentucky Have
Representative
In the City.

! Growing Greenwood seems to be the
goal of Northern gold.
All roads lead to the Gem City Of the
South and large firms of the North keep
their representatives instructed to look
out for locations in the delta, and Green
wood especially. The latest firm to
make an effoat to get into this city is F.
L. Clore q Son, of Henderson, Kentucky.
Mr.. Sherley E. Clore, the junior member
of this company, has been in this city
for the past several days. and is very
much impressed with the people and all
he has seen of the country. Although he
has been in consultation with several
real estate dealers and others he has
not thus far found a location that is
available in all ways. One great draw
back to this, as we'll as to another en-
terprise of the same kind. is the very
large price that the owners are asking
for building sites close to the city. If
some concessions are not made within
the next few days we stand an excellent
chance to lose two manufactures, both
Of which now have representatives here
almost begging to get in.
The firm of Clore & Son, is one of the
most substantial in the Blue Grass State,
and seeks this location on account of
the vast timber supply; they are going
to leave Kentucky at once, and it seems
that they will come to Memphis. Green

ferance to this city if proper site can
be obtained at a reasonable price.
I'VE have very fine plant said Mr..
Clore to The Commonwealth yesterday,
land if we get in here we feel sure that
it will be a good thing for the town.
We employ about thirty men, and export
nearly all our products. This fact brings
money into the town instead Of taking
it away, We will make a speciality Of
quarters sa wed oak. and our capacity is
about 10000 feet daily. 7 am pleased
with the entire outlook with the excep-
tion of the high prices of land for
building site, and if the people will meet
me half way, [ shall go home and re-
commend Greenwood to the firm and
they will act on my advice.'
The Commonwealth does not believe
that Greenwood can afford to throw
away the opportunity to secure either
of the mills mentioned in the paper to-
day, and shall be pleased to have the
citizens take the matter up and offer
some inducements in the way of a loca-

BEAUTIFUL SNOW.
The Fieecy White Falls an Inch Deep

There is or should be some consolation
in the fact that if the weather has been
very bad here it has been dozen times
worse every where else in the country
to the North and West of US.
At dawn Monday morning the people
looked out their windows and saw the
heaviest snow that this country had
seen for years. 1t was snow, real white
cold snow, and was over an inch deep.
1t had stolen in during Sunday night as
gently as a babys dream, but it brought
its refrigerating plant with it and put
the whole country in cold storage for r
day or SO.
However, the people had learned a
lesson from the snow of last week, and
early began to have the beautiful

Was Monday morning the coldest

Mr.. t. p. Price thinks it was, and if
any one ever saw the mercury go lower
he would like to hear of it. He states
that his thermometer registered one de-
gree below zero on Monday morning.
We have not heard of any of the other in

actions of the people who were COM

that Monday is entitled to the palm for

Famous Cross Broken.

Intense indignation has been caused
in and around Athlone by the discov.
cry that the great Cross of the Scrip.
lures at the Seven Churches at Clon.
macnoise has been the object of a
wanton outrage. A portion of the left
arm of the cross, about three and a
half inches long and two and half
inches wide has been broken off
and carried away. The cross
stands in the center of a mag.
nificent pile of ruins which attract
antiquarians from every country in
Europe. 1t is about Is feet high and
is covered over with most exquisite
sculpture work representing different
incidents mentioned in the Scriptures.
1t was made in the year 900 by Col.
n an, the then abbot of Clonmacnoise,
for the tomb of King Flann, and it has
stood through all the centuries I'm.
touched by the ravages of time. At
the present moment almost every line
of the delicate tracery used in its or.
namentation can be distinctly fol.
lowed.

other method with a husband. The
woman, married or single, who tights
for her rights has hard struggle, often

again. Any married woman gifted
with even small degree of diplomacy
may have her own way quite as much.

only she be careful always to defer

never allow any one, himself least of

to persuade him that her way is his
own. The secret of her power lies in
a nutshell-it is the power behind the
throne which never openly asserts it.
