THE PENCIL AND PAD
BRIGADE GET BUSY.
Uncle Sans Census E0umeratorS
Have Be1un Countln1.

The census enumerators started out
last Friday on their ten year act of
en~umerating the people and things of
this great big nation. Those Of Green
wood got busy early and with pencil
and pad started ont determined to get
the name of everyone in this city ind
return it to headquarters at Washing
ton, where every ten years the total
number Of Inhabitants of these United
States are supposed to be registered.
At the last enumeration the census of
Greenwood was only indifferently taken,
many names, in fact whole neighbor-
hoods escaping the e~numerators all
together. As a result of such work
Greenwood was returned with less than
1000 when it was we'll known she had
more than 5000. This year it is be-
ieved a more capable list of enumera-
tors have been named, men who will
take a pleasure in giving to Greenwood
her just due and it is confidently be-
lieved that when this is done the Queen
City will be placed up very neal the
10000 mark.

of advertising one must be prepar-
ed to stick to it like a barnacle on
a boats bottom. Advertising does
not jerk; it pulls. 1t begins very
gently at first, but the pull is llk-
ened to team pulling a heavy load
A thousand spasmodic, jerky pulls
