LUMBER OUTLOOK IS
VERY MUCH BETTER
Decided Improvement In the Situation
Is Shown.

The lumber business shows some i'm
provement in Mississippi, according to
the local lumbermen, who report a
most healthy demand, though prices
are not ruling as strong as many would
like to see them.
Inquiries are coming in freely and
reports Of depleted stocks in the re-
tailers' yards makes the manufacturer
look for still better demand with the
passing of this month. As result, he
is taking the best of the orders in sight,
passing the others by and stocking up
for the increase in trade, which is
bound to show up better prices ac-
cording to almost all of those thorough
ly posted on the situation.
Business 50 far this year has been
satisfactory when compared with coz
ditions year ago. The railroads con-
tinue to take considerable stuff, while
the retailers are in the market stronger
than at any time in some months. The
demand from the northwest and middle
west and that section of the country is
said to be stronger out Of this market
than at any time within the past
twelve months.

Milan Mule Company Here.

One Of the members of the Milan
Mule Co. was in Greenwood this week,
and was interviewed by one Of The
Commonwealth's reportorial staff. This
gentleman was asked how he could at.
ford to sell first-class stock at their
auction sale which they will hold in
this city Feb. 7th. To this inquiry he
replied: "Of course we expect to sac
riace q handsome sum at CHS auction
sale, but we are 80 anxious to demon
strate to the good people Of this county
that first-class mules and horses can
be sold at atction. We do not expect
to make cent from these two car
loads. but our next shipment will de-
mand fancier prices, besides convinc-
ing Lefore county planters Of the high
quality Of stock that we always have
on hand. Our main idea is to cinch 4
large share Of the Lefore county trade. .
Much interest Is being manifested in
this sale. Auctioneer Arterbury has a
representative on the road advertising
same, which will no doubt attract =
large number Of visitors to the city on
Fob. 7th.

MAY INSTALL A
FLASHLIGHT SYSTEM.
Cumberland Co. Are Considering the
Feasibility Of the Change.

The Cumberland Telephone and Tel
egraph Company are considering the ad-
visibility of installing flash light tel
ephone system in Greenwood. They
recognize the fact that Greenwood 8
growth has been so constant that some
change is necessary.
The present system is being outgrown
and is not in keeping with tie pro-
gressiveness Of the city. An enlargea
ment is necessary.
The installation of such a system
will cause an expenditure of about
$4,000, but they will probably see ths
such change will be sustained by the
steady increase in business.
One Of the greatest obstacles in the
way Of such an installation is the OBJ
jections Of the propcrty-owners having
their pretty shade trees trimmed. This
will be necessary to give the poles and
wires clear course.
We hope that the company will not
pigeonhole this proposition, but will
push the matter and install this system
ct an early date.

CHANGE IN THE
DEPOSITORY RATES.
Greater Uniformity Likely IN the Next
Award.

That there will be greater uniform
ity of interest rates paid by state de-
positories on the public funds deposited
therein after the letting of the new
contracts by the depository commits
sion on February 5, is the general
opinion. The present rates vary from
2 per cent. to 81 per cent. and prac-
tically every bank which submitted
bids year ago secured a contract, re-
gardless of whether the interest rate
was high or low.
Anticipating that the matter may be
similarly handled this year, there is
every reason to believe that those
banks which bid high rates of interest
will not do SO again, believing that
nothing is to be gained thereby.
There is, of course, the possibility
that the commission may change it's
tactics, accept only the higher bids and
reduce the number of depositors, in
which event those who bid low would
be eliminated, to the further profit of
the higher bidders.
There is no law as to the number of
banks to be accepted, and the policy of
the commission has been to scatter the
funds as widely as possible, making the
repositories convenient to the tax col
lectors and others throughout the
state.
The commission realizes, however,
that unless the interest rate is made an
important factor in the letting of the
contracts, the rate will be automatical-
ly lowered, the bankers will be JUS
titled in assuming that low rate will
get the money as we'll as high one,
hence they will be inclined to pay as
little as possible in interest.
The following of such a policy would
result in large decrease in the total
amount of interest which the depos.
itory law would bring in, and there is
every reason to believe that new poll
icy will be inaugurated at the February
meeting.
During the last fiscal year the depos-
itory interest amounted to practically
$4,000, paid in by 81 repositories
scattered over the state, despite the
fact that there was a large deficit in
the treasury during several weeks in
the autumn.

BUSINESS LEAGUE
AFTER RAILROAD.
Clslco1o, Memphis s. Gulf VIII Build
from Cairo to Jackson.

cagO, Memphis & Gulf just announced
by President 8. g. Latta state that this
line is to be built from a point on the
Ohio river to Memphis, and thence to
Jackson, Miss, where it is presumed
traffic arrangements will be made with
one of the connecting roads there for
entrance into New Orleans.
The Chicago, Memphis & Gulf was
formerly the Dyersburg s. Northern,

northward to Tiptonville, thirty-one
miles. The plans of tho railroad con-
template line from Cairo, ILL.,, to Jack

ing, apparently, with the Illinois Gem

ritory. 1t is stated by President Latta
in a circular letter that arrangements
have already been made to securo en-
trance into Memphis and that termi aal
facilities have been acquired there.
To further it's construction work the
road is effering its FIR mortgage 5

with tho sale of these bonds that Mr..
Latta has made his announcement. 1t
is claimed, however, that funds for the
construction of the road have been pro-
vided for prior to the sale of bonds for
the different construction sections. Con-
struction is in charge Of Frederick A..
Aolitor and is uuder way between Tip
tonville, Tenn, and Hickman, KY.
twenty-one miles. Connection will be
ma ie at Hickman viii the Nashville,
Chattanooga & st. Louis and at Dyers-
burg with the Illinois Central.
The map sent out by tho road and
showing the proposed route of the ex-
tensions indicates that the line will run
from Cairo southwark near the east
bank Of the Mississippi, through Hick-
man, Tiptonville, and other points to
Memphis. Dyersburg is to be reached
by branch. From Memphis the map
shows line to run through Itta Bena,
Miss, and Yazoo City to jackson, to-
tai distance from Cairo of about 325

The Greenwood Business League is
always on the lookout for anything of
value that we can lay our hands upon,
has taken up tho cue, and is CORES
ponding with the parties connected
with this new railroad venture, in the
hope Of getting same to run it's line
through Greenwood via jackson to New
Orleans. Nothing definite has been re-
ceived in response to their inquiries,
but in a few days an answer will very
probably be given them.
Greenwood, with it's many branch
lines, has already gained prominence as
a railroad center in the delta, and with
the addition of this new road would
forge to the front of the leading centers
in the State. And it is hoped that the
Business League will push this matter
and be successful in their attempts to
make this new venture run it's line
through the Gem City Of the Delta"

|BAlDWlN'S RfClTAI
HEARTILY ENJOYED.
Appreclatlve Audiences Assembled at
Presbyterian Church.

| The music-lovers Of Greenwood, at
least great many Of them, assembled
at the First Presbyterian church last
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights to
hear the organ recitals that had been
promised by Prof. Minor Baldwin, one
Of the foremost musicians of the coun-
try, and whose reputation is by no
means confined to ihe United States.
Prof. Baldwin exceeded all expecta.
| tions. He proved to have the finest of
touch and ear, and all of his selections
| were rare treats that were thoroughly
enjoyed by those present on those
three nights.
There were other attractions to the
recitals as well as organ music. DIR.
Irvine delivered a most magnificent
sermon Sunday evening, and Tuesday
| evening some of Greenwoods sweetest
singers lent their influence and the
light of their talent to the occasion, SO
! that it became doubly interesting to
those of a musical turn.
Among those who rendered selections,
accompanied by Mrs. r. A. Topp on the
organ, were Mrs. Shed Hill, Prof. 4. r.
Smoot, Miss Lois Harvey and Messrs.
Baker and Stinson.
Among the numbers of the unusually
attractive programme rendered, which
caused the expression of a great desire
to see and to hear more of Prof. Bald
win, were:
