Socially Delta is about the limit.
There is pretty much everything in
progress. from the sale of corn meal
of his nibbs, the oyster. On the stage
we have pretty nearly everything
attempted from moving picture to
Shakespeare or grand opera. In music
we go from the phonograph up to two
or three orchestras and a brass band.
Delta continues to spread out, en-
larging both its commercial area and
its living territory. The town not only
has good number of new blocks but
hundreds of handsome dwellings, that
are monuments to the building energy
of the past two years. Not only this,
but plans are at hand for enough addi-
tional buildings to prove that the era
of progress is nowhere near its close.
