DonneIly and Hatfield MlnstreIs.

oae Of the most amusing features
with the Donnelly and Hatfield Magnifi
cent Minstrels this season is an old
fashioned one ring circus that is GER
tainly filled with "sawdust' quips and
laughs. The burlesque elephants, cam.
els, giraffes and clowns give you fits Of
merriment. The roaring lion romps and
raves behind the bars of his cage, the
monkeys jump the kangaroo skips and
the band plays. 1t is a hilarious traves-
ty upon the old fashioned one ring cir
Gus. The scenery is realistic. All the
side shows are there from the pink
lemonade and pop corn seller to the
grand concert after the big show. The

Miss ChamberIin's Concert.

A very appreciative audience was
present at the Opera House last Friday
evening t. eEjoy the delightful concert
given by Miss Faances Chamberlin and
her capable assistants, Mesdames X. P.
Parrish, G. L. Wright, r. L. Miller and
Misses Matsey Greene, Sallie Steele
and Branch. Owing to the down-pour
OF rain the audience was quite small,
but those present SO thoroughly enjoy
ed the splendid music that request
was made to repeat the entertainment
Saturday evening, which was done. All
the performers were literally applaud
ed-encore after encore following each
number. The Saturday evening pro-
gram varied some and Mrs. II. L. Miller
sang in her clear sweet voice beautiful
familiar airs.
The concerts were given under the
auspices OF the Kings Daughters, and
it is regretted that larger audiences
were not present to enjoy the musical
treat rendered eacn evening.

THE DELTA BANK
CHANGES HANDS.
Hon. G. A. wilson Sells to Messrs. NJ
C. and W. R. tiumptrsy.

The Delta Bank changed management
last Satur lay morning, Hon. q. A. Will
son, the president, selling his stock in
that splendid financial lpstitutiou to
Messrs. NJ. G. and W. r. Humphrey. of
the staunch cotton firm OF Humphrey 4
Co.--the consideration being over
100000.
The capital aud surplus of the Delta
Bank amounts to 100000. and it has
been one Of the most prosperous hank.
ing concerns in the State for several
years Sin fact, ever since its manage
ment has been in the hands of Mr.. Will
son, the retiring president.
Mr.. W. r. Humphrey succeeds MIR.
Wilson as president, Mr.. n. W. Baird
continues as vice-president. Mr. W. T
Loggips has been elected cashier, Mr
=. L. Ray is bookkeeper and Mr.. Mel
vile Fatberree is teller.
MIR. Humphrey, The ne& president,
and Mr.. Loggins, the new ,ashier, are
uuquestionably two of tte best hnsi
ness men in the State -th}i latter hav-
ing extensive banking experience and
the Delta Bank, under their discreet
management, will continue to grow and
prosper.
Mr.. Wilson retires from the Delta
Bank purely on account OF failing health
and the advice of his physicians. He
still holds numerous interests in Green
wood and Leflore county--being large
stockholder In the Greenwood Compress,
the Greenwood Grocery Co.. the Mann
Hardware Co., the Weems Lockwood
Furniture Co., and owns fine pIanta-
tion OF over 5000 acres adjacent to the
town Of Schlater- each OF these enter
prises being in charge Of capable men,
and not requiring the close personal at
tention which the business of the bank
did. He will therefore, continue to be
very much identified with our affairs.
Mr.. Wilson proposes to spend several
months travelling in this country and
abroad next year, which will doubtless
prove very beneficial to his health.

OUR MOTTO: "BE JUST AND FEAR NOT"
S25,OOO GREENWOOD
MATTRESS FACTORY.
New industry Or 1anlzed and VIII Soon
Begin Work.

Greenwood is soon to have another
industry in the shape Of $4,000 Mat
tress Factory.
The incorporators Of this new enter
prise are Mcssrs. W. r. Loggins, N. s
Wright and John B. PETTY.
The charter has been prepared and
will be published next week, and the
factory will begin operations at an
early date with paid up capital OF
S25,000. OF this amount $4,000 has al
ready been subscribed by the incorpo-
rators, and the remaining $4,000 will
be secured from non-residents.
The output Of the factory for the
first year has already been soId, which
practically makes the success VI the
business a foregone conclusion.
This enterprise is one Of the mann
featuring industries the Business League
has been recently agitating for Green
wood, and The Commonwealth is pleased
to announce that we are soon to have it.
