Up-to-date Vaudeville House.

The management has secured for to-
night for the theatre-going people of

fences their performance deserves.
What few seats left are ON sale at the

from Is cents to a 81. A matinee is be-
ing given this afternoon and is largely
attended.
We hope that a large crowd will turn

deavor to give Greenwood frst-class
attractions.

BONDS HANDLED BY
HOME INSTITUTIONS.
Board Of Supervisors Show Conl1demee
In creenweoGs Banks

One Of tho principal features Of the
February session Of tho Board Of SUI
pervisors the first Of this week WA
the selling Of the bonds issued by that
body for the erection and maintenance
of " new iron bridges in Ledore
county.
Many bids were made by strong In
situations from various banking cities,
who are always eager to catch Green
wood and Lelore county bonds, but tho
Beard of Supervisors showed their inn
plicit confidence in tho local banking
institutions by allowing them to nan
die the bonds. It showed confidence
in the ability Of local cagital to handle
for county and city improvements,
when they refused the prefer of funds
from outside sources for the handling
of the 100000 worth of bridge bonds
recently voted.
Local bankers made the plea that it
would be impossible to secure con-
tractors and bridge builders to do this
work for at least five months, and that
il the bonds were sold now to outside
parties and the money secured, it
would lay idle in the banks and draw
interest, and promised that il the bonds
were not sold at once that when the
county was ready to start the improve
ments they would furnish sufficient
funds for the carrying on of the work,
and then the bonds could be issued to
offset the loan Is they would make.
Greenwood prides itself upon being
a homemade, home-owned and home
governed city, as every bond issue
has been handled by local capital, and
this commendable sentiment was toe
strong to be overcome by the argu.
ments and offers Of capitalists who were
here the first of the week from New
York, Chicago, Memphis, New Orleans
and other cities for the purpose of se
curing these bridge Improvement
bonds.
Greenwood always does the righ'
thing. That is why the local bankers

MARN 6RAS IN
CRESCENT CITY.
Aaasal Event Surpasssd all Previoss
Records.

New Orleans has enjoyed the rush and
roar Of . mighty multitude Of invaders
such ~ has seldom before broken the
quiet Of the Crescent City Of the South.
Some came thousands Of miles to take
part In the great event Of tho year in
0xie-the Mardi Gras carnival Of New
Orleans.
On the streets noisy parties Of bright
~ dressed maskers showed like splashes
O. vivid color amid the dense throngs
Of light-hearted spectators. Football
PUSHES through the crowds now and
then are occasions for panic, fainting
women and painting policemen: there
was jubilat laughter and gay bandiage;
. constant shower of bon bons and con-
fetti aud the clash of bands Of music
city was a-riot of color by day, ablaze
with rainbow lights at night.
From 9 distance, rose = colored
clouds heralded the famebaus Of the
carnival parade. Lights on the line Of
march were momentarily extinguished,
tho better to reveal the splendor of the
passing pageant
The king of the carnival is entitled to
all the honor which he receives. He
pays we'll for it, although a man is
sought to occupy this place not only
because he can afford to fill the role
but because he is popularity esteemed by
the city and his fellow clubmen. Per-
haps no sceptre held for so brief 3 time
IL proportionately SO costly. Five,
thousand dollars represents the con-
tribution demanded of the king for the
carnival. That, however, merely rep
resents the opening of the kingly purse
strings and the pouring forth of many
thousands more. There are sums to-
ward carnival expenses; there are royal
dinners, l%uncheons and receptions held
in honor of the kings encourage, his
guests. his friends and his queen and
her friends, to say nothing of the un-
limited amounts spent for flowers and a
considerable sum for jewelry and suit
able gifts for his queen and the men and
women who occupy places in the "royal
household"
In the early days of the carnival the
queen was chosen for her beauty from
among the women at the carnival ball,
and she might be the veriest stranger
to the sovereign about to honor her.
Only one queen was ever SO selected.
Since then, while it has always been a
tradition that carnival queens must be
beautiful, other reasons have weighed
most in her selection, such as her fam
ily's relations with the king, their
wealth and the prospective queens 20
cial popularity. The chosen one must
enjoy a vast degree of fayoritism
among her women friends or her Sc
lection would give rise to IN amount OF
onvy not to be calmly contemplated.
1t is no longer an easy matter to find
a queen. This honor costs several
thousand dollars and entails no n OF
social excitement. The queens gown
must be truly royal, and not many real
queens wear court dresses of greater
splendor thar this fair sovereign of a
day. She must select her maids of
honor-a task likely to cause irremedia-
BILE breaches in many a friendship-and
entertain them royalty before the night
Of her reign, besides presenting them
with jeweled souvenirs of that occas-
ion. The queen has also to entertain
the king and his suite.
