The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1909-10-15

A prominent citizen, on return
ing from q recent trip to Green
wood, was voluble and enthusiastic
in his description of the wonderful
progress and building activity at
present enjoyed by that enterpris-
ing delta city, the credit for which
he rightly ascribed to the splendid
organization of business men, the
Business League, which is ever
bending its energies toward the up
building of the city, with surprising
and increasingly successful results.
Large tracts of land adjacent to the
city have been sold, subdivisions
laid out, and the city is enjoying a
building boom which is truly phe
nomenal and utterly unaffected by
the short crops. Every local con-
tractor, carpenter and paint. r, as
we'll as a large number from the
outside, are kept constantly busy,
and yet the building era seems
just-to have fairly begun, the pros.
pective buildings being even more
numerous than the large number
Fnow under construction. Foreign
capital is being interested and in.
dustfies of various kinds promoted
and established. It is the history
of every growing city that each new
industry established invariably at
tracts others-just like from a sin
| gle atom as a neucleus coral reefs
atolls and islands are formed.-Lex
ington Advertiser.
The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1909-10-15

It is generally conceded the bus-
mess revival is general throughout
the country. Industrial activity has
been resumed, confidence is COM
pletely restored, credits have been
rehabilitated and enterprise Is ev-
erywhere, looking from promising
fields of venture. The cotton crop
is undeniably short, still the pre-
vailing price for this month is the
highest known in a number Of
years and is almost sure to compen-
safe any deficit in the production.
1t is the hour Of opportunity for
Greenwood to attract hither- enter
prise and capital; she should sum-
mon her public spirit to an active
manifestation and go forth into the
harvest that is waiting. Prosperity
has returned, and men and money
are seeking new fields of invest
ment. Greenwood should let the
world know what opportunities
await them here for profitable en-
ployment. 1t is time to remove our
light from under the hogshead 50
that it may illuminate the way Of
the seeker after investments to the
inviting and attractive opportunity
that is offered here.
Few towns on earth are better
than Greenwood; advantages are
here enjoyed for certain lines Of
manufacture that few Southern cit
les afford. There is no more de-
sirable place in the world to live,
for our climate is delightful and il
altogether healthful. Our taxes are
conservative, and we enjoy a very
high rating. Just now, Greenwood
needs to enter upon an intelligent
and persistent program of effective
advertising.
