why CAN'T IHfY Be R.suMsfRtD

There's no reason on earth why
the business houses and residences
Of Greenwood are not numbered
more accurately, and attractive
street signs placed where the old
ones have been torn down or have
worn out, and on new streets and
avenues.
Greenwood has passed the two
by-fonr limit, and is q tabls-stakes
city. Every month brings Us new
residences all over the sections Of
the town that are numbered. The
f~ast-growing additions to Green
wood have busy streets and avenues
! without signs.
AT present it is impossible for
mail TO DO delivered in Congress
Heights and Austin Wright Add
tons because the streets arc not
decked with signs and the resi-
dences are without numbers.
Tire bss been q general COM
plant as to the inaccuracy OF the
present numbering. When this
numbering was instituted, it was
at That time az correct as possible +;
but oil the gaps have been filled,
and the limits Of the streets stretch
cd and filled with homes without
numbers.
Merchants experience great diff
Guilty in making prompt deliveries
and local commerce is impaired TO q
small extent.
The numbering Of business
houses and residences and the
placing Of street signs will cost
very little. Every citizen will gladly
pay for the correct numbering d
his home. The city can easily place
new street signs at . mero trifs Of
an expense.
Why is il not done?

Why PUT It Off A YEAR I

What's the use Of putting off the
organization of . Lefore County
Fair. or a Tri-C County Fair, compris-
ing Leflore and two adjacent conn-
ties? What will W. save BY d*lay
ing the matter, when every one well
knows that, sooner or later, we must
have a Fair If we expect 70 keep up
with the pace that every progress
siye county over the State has set 7
During September and October
glowing reports appeared in papers
oil over the State whore Fairs were
held az to the brilliant successes
scored. All around us people were
benefited by the agricultural lessons
taught by the Fair, while Leflore
county sat on its launches without
any such demonstration.
We've got the proper parties to
back the organization all 1t needs
ID a few monied men to start it of,
and then it will more than pay of
all expenses, and each year will find
it paying itself out Of whatever
debt was incurred for the erection
OF the Fair Grounds? We have
the people who will take great in
tsrest in the enterprise, and, charac-
teristic Of Leflore county push
ahead spirit, will make II one Of the
best Fairs held in the State.
Over at Winona the Business
League called together its business
men, and have taken the necessary
steps toward the organization Of .
Fair ? Why is it that we can't keep
up with at least Montgomery coun-
U? Our Business League has, no
doubt, felt the pulsa Of our citizens
as TO this enterprise, and their
efforts in this line should be we'll
attended with results.
Organize the Fair. Make it a big
event on Lehore county's calendar.
We've got TO have one, snd pretty
soon, unless We are content with
tagging behind. II y not Green
wood or Leaore county spirit to iag
behind. So now is the time toI
come and get busy with The Bush
ness League, and belp push TIE
Fair organization. Your help il
needed.

Democracy'S Opportunity.

One Of the most interesting
facts connected with the recent
political landslide, which gave the
Democratic party control of the
National House Of Representa-
tives in the next Congress and
materially increased that party's
strength in the Senate, was the
number Of new and strong lead
ers which the contest developed.
These new men are not the pro-
duct Of the hopeless years of the
Bryan domination, but compare
rather with the Democratic lead
ers Of the early Cleveland days.
They are sane, safe, and, at the
same time, progressive men,
whose influence on the Demo-
cratic party, as a whole, cannot
but be rejuvenating, provided
their leadership is accepted In full
faith and the old radical yagaries
are cast aside.
Such men as Harmon Of Ohio,
Dix Of New York, Wilson Of New
Jersey, Foss Of Massachusetts,
and the several others who re-
Gently led the Democratic party
10 victory in so many States, till
recently stronghoIds Of the Re-
publican party, afford a full corps
Of brilliant leaders, where, until
recently, there was a lamentable
scarcity Of such talent. It would
be suicidal TO disregard the coun-
sells Of such men and return to
the discredited leaders, who have
kept the party in a hopeless mi
nority for 80 many years. The
Republicans have now cut loose
from their old-time conservative
mornings, and the masses Of the
N - 1911 49,. tL
people, becoming distrustful, have
turned to the Democracy as hold
ing out the promise Of a safer
and more conservative manage
ment Of national affairs. Failure
to respond to this confidence
would justly condem the party to
another long period Of Punishment
from power and office.
In nine States recently the
Democrats have captured control
OF the legislative bodies, as well
as governorships and general
State management. Each one Of
these States will elect a Demo-
cratic Senator within the next
few months to replace Republic
cans, whose terms expire March
4th next. II would be missing a
great opportunity were the Dem
ocrats in any Of these States to
send mediocre or inferior men to
the Senate, when they can as
easily select able and c~onscien-
tious leaders, and thus supple
ment at Washington the splendid
statesmen that have already been
placed at the head Of affairs in
the different States.
With an overwhelming majority
in the House Of Representatives,
the Democracy will have no diff
Guilty in passing its measures
through that body in the next
Congress, but it will require the
ablest leadership and the bright
est talent to handle the Senate,
which viii have a small Republic
can majority. On the record of
the next two years will depend
the Democracy's chance Of cap
turing the Federal administration
in l9l2lF4cnce no mistakes should
be made that can possibly be
avoided, and one Of the worst
mistakes would be to send mere
politicians or radicals to the
Senate,

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The close of the week in the local stock
market, which has to a limited extent re-
fected the unsettled conditions in the
general stock market, was marked by
stronger tone, as shown In the transactions
made at the meeting today as well as by
the figures for the various securities on
the list.
Mergenthaler and Lanston were the chief
stocks traded in, and in both instances
the market was we'll sustained and the
stock that came out found ready buyers
at about the levels that have obtained
of late.
The buying I'm Mergenthaler, was well
sustained at an eighth of a point less
than 216, while LanSton was taken at 80
and at the close of the trading there was
no stock offered less than DOA.
few .ocks Of gas stock were sold
and at higher levels than have recently
prevailed, demonstrating market for
this security which had not been in much
demand for several days. The sales to-
day were at 75h to 75A.
The offerings in the bonds list were not
large and but small business was done
in them. The Washington Traction stocks
which have been quite active at lower
levels, did not figure much in the trading
although there was evidence Of supply
of the common at 30. Only one sale
was made of fifty shares at that price,
and then the bid was 3Sls. The figures
for the preferred stock remained the
Same as quoted yesterday.

four years in F'reder cksburg he was
widely known as an influential business
man and enjoyed the friendship and con-
fidece OF a number of the Old Dominion's
favored sons who came from the north
eastern section of the state. In the early
part of his residence in Fredericksburg
he was given the CONTRACT to furnish sup
plies to a la ge Union force quartered in
that sect on and had much to do with
planning and bringing the military ceme-
terry there to its present ideal condition
for a resting place of the nations dead.
Mr.. Rees was prominent in Nirg MIA Ma
sonic circles, and was a member of the
Frederick burg lodge of which Gen. Wash
ington was one of the charter members.
His name was included with the names of
other prominent Virginia Masons on the
parchment placed i'll the corner stone of
the Washington Monument.
Owing to the fact that one or two of
his children had moved to this city, Mr.
Rees came to Washington shortly before
the inauguration of President BENJAMIN
Harrison. He conducted "A tobacco stand
beneath his residence near the intersec-
ton of 18th and l. streets during his en-
tire residence here.
