ST PIunkard COMPANY.

J. G. Lewis, one of the cleverest OF
comedians, assisted by a company of
merit will present the amusing rural
drama, ST Plunkard, at the Greenwood
Opera House next Wednesday even
ing.
Mr.. Lewis has surrounded himself
with good company of comedians.
The characters of the play especially
the principal ones, are not greatly
overdrawn from real life, and that
makes the fun genuine and hearty. Si
Plunkard is the story of an unsuspect-
ing, simple old farmer, being defraud-
ed by clever sharper from the city,
assisted by an unscrupulous Jew. Mr..
J. G. Lewis appears in the character
of the traditional Downeaster, 81
Plunkard, whose chief reason for being
is to serve as foil to the conventional
william. The sensational features pre-
sented are full working threshine
machine, the country fair scene, and
many other catchy novelties. This
season the comedy has been rewritten
and will be presented with all new
features and all new specialties by q
talented company of comedians max
ing it up-to-date.

WO0DMFN ARE COMING,
Convention Will be Held in Greenwood
in 1907.

"Greenwood as convention city" is a
possibility Of the not distant future.
And why not. Didn't DIR. W. T. Mathews
in open debate at the W. O. w. conven-
tion in Natchez last week conclusively
demonstrate Greenwood's superior rail-
roads facilities over those of Jackson
and McComb City. He most assuredly
did do that very thing, and the result
was the Woodmen, $50 strong, voted to
convene in Greenwood in the spring of
1907.
Mayor Vardaman wired an invitation
to the Woodmen to consider the claims
OF Greenwood, and DR.. Mathews who
was present, at once began lobbying.
He had cards printed like this:

Delta Southern to Exercise Right of
Eminent Domain
PAPERS BEING PREPARED
Property Owners Would be Wise to
Come to an Understanding.
Citizens Meeting.

Railroad rumors flew thick and fast
this week, and one could hear almost
any sort of theory on possible railroad
action that sounded in the least plausi-
BILE.
Here is the truth of the situation:
About $4,000 more must be raised to
make good the bonus offered for the new
railroad by Greenwood.
None of this money can be used for
purchasing right-of-way-but the
right-of-way must be secured from ltta
Bena to Belzona.
The following property-owners along
the route demand compensation, and a
few of them ask extraordinary sums:
Mahoney Bros, Mclean Bros. & Gamble,
Mr.. B. f. Morris, Mr.. Alfred Murdock,
Mr.. 4. Sisson and Mr.. G. J. Brantley.
The amounts demanded are of course
much more than an average jury would
likely award, and the Delta Southern is
about to enter on condemnation pro-
ceedings so that the court decree will
decide the amount to be paid, for cross
ing these lands. Attorney Yerger stated
Thursday to the Commonwealth man
that he ''was preparing the papers"
This does not mean that the railroad
will pay dollar of the amount decreed,
but it puts the matter where the people
of ltta Bena and the interested parties
along the line as well as the city of
Greenwood, can definately see just what
the right-of-way will cost.
The railroad has assurances that GER
tain citizens of Itta Bena stand ready,
it necessary, to pay the small amount
apt to be awarded the property-owners.
There was a meeting of Itta Bena's pro-
gressive men last week, where it was
decided to make an effort to induce the
Delta Southern to build south from Itta
Bena and not from point further west.
Should Greenwood fail to raise the
$4,000 promised, or should some quibble
delay presentation of the right-of-way
to the railroad it will build from Berclair
or from Guide.
The railroad simply cannot afford to
walt any longer, ana is nOU going W.
The rights-of-way are being rendered for
the line to begin west Of itta Bena.
Construction work is most feasible in
the summer months, for the road cannot
be properly ballasted in the rainy SEA
son. The ballast is brought from far-of
Birmingham, Ala.
CITIZENS MEETING.
Recognizing the imperative need OF
immediate action, a call will be issued
for a citizens meeting in Greenwood
early next week. Watch for the circular
announcement.
