In Schlater; Lefore County has =
progressive little city Of which evsEy
citizen in tho county is proud. This
little city has attracted much atten-
ton ere Of late, and its steady strides
toward development and upbuilding
has caused its sister cities to sit up
and take notice.
This little city is backed by as
fine lands az are to be found In the
Yazoo Mississippi Valley Delta, and
the county reckons with this terri
tory as a most indispensable asset to
its prosperity.
It is characteristic of Schlater to
serve only tho better interests OF its
citizens and those in its community,
and it not only watches the COM
mercial end but strives o
embetter its morality. Only last
week was there held . meeting ip
that city for the purpose of giving
admonition to the blindtigers and
bootleggers that were reported to
have been doing q business on the
side, and the careful citizens OF this
city have determined to eradicate
this evil, and has expressed their
intention to resort to the stringest
methods available to exterminate
such aw-breaking.
Leaore County looms up in state
wide attention only because it is
crowded with such citizens as those
to be found in Schlater.

AN IMPROVEMENT NFEDED.

Several years ago an ordinance
was passed and onforcod in reGafd
to The numbering Of houses and the
placing Of street signs Since that
time our city has enjoyed q marvel
lous growth, new streets being made
and hundreds of houses being
erected. Very few of these have
been numbered and none of the
streets are named with signs.
Greenwood has grown to such a
size that it is imperative that its
streets be named with signs and all
the residences properly numbered.
Delivery service has become so
necessary that hundreds of drays are
employed daily. Without these
street signs and house numbers it is
impossible for shippers to promptly
and correctly ship the orders given
them for delivery. Unless a person
is well known in the city, it is at
present a hard matter to locate his
home or place of business.
The City Council should revive
this ordinance, and give our streets
new signs, as even the old ones are
SO worn and torn that they are
hardly legible. They should also
enforce the proper numbering Of the
business houses and residences that
are at present unnumbered.
