Hardly day passes that several in

rent cottage or residence by people
who want to move to Greenwood and
make this city their home. We invari-
ably have to tell them that there is not
house in the city for rent.
This state OF affairs is calculated to
keep people from coming here. but

soon be in position to begin letting ont
money to many who will buy lots and
build their own cottages, and we may
