HANDSOME TOURING
GAR ORDERED
Greenwood Already Has Sixteen Hand
some Automobiles.

Messrs. Miller \ Aron have ordered
a handsome twelve-seated auto touring
car, which will arrive in Greenwood
within the next few days This car
will be run for the convenience Of the
people, the nominal charge of only 10
cents being made to take you to any
part Of the city. The Commonwealth
joins the people In thanking Messrs.
Miller & Aron for providing this up to-
date car for the convenience and ac-
commodation of the public,
Greenwood already has sixteen mag
nflcent automobiles owned by private
individuals and there are several
others contemplating ordering ma
chimes.
In fact, Greenwood leads the State in
the matter of handsome auto cars, as
well as In nearly everything else that
goes to make an enterprsing, wide
awake city.
"Honk, Honk,' is a familiar soNnd in
progressive Greenwood.

KING 5 DAUGHTERS
ANNUAL TAG DAY.
Funds for Remodellng and Equlppins
the Hospital.

The Kings Daughters are arranging
for the biggest day in the history CT
their organization on July ith. Their
annual Tag Day" will be observed and
the proceeds will go toward the neces-
sary improvements on their hospital.
The Kings Daughters have bought
the handsome Bew residence Oh. River
Front, for which the Board of Supervi-
sors kindly allowed $4,000 for first pay
ment on same. The Board of Mayor and
Aldermen allowed $4,000 for the i'm
provements on the building. After
figuring on just the necessary improve
ments they find that they will need
about $500 more to make neat and up
hospital. Now with the gener-
GUS and kind hearted people of Greeu-
wood and Lehore county, we feel that
this statement is all that is necessary
for them to respond literally to this
worthy cause. This amount needed
does not include the furnishing Of the
hospital, as the Kings Daughters want
to show their love and self-sacrifce by
same.

created new Office which is acceptabIy
filled by Mr. W. s. Vardaman. He ia
known as "Tho Announcer" and all
notices ~ any branch Of church work are
