AND THE BUILDING BOOM GOES
ON.

There is no doubt but that the con.
tractors hammers are the most consis-
tent in Greenwood. Despite the SEEM
ingly hard times the effects of a small
crop and small prices, and the advance
of the boil weevil, Greenwood's advan-
tages are not to be neglected by people
who know her worth and who are bent
to develop the city into the proportions
into which she is sure to grow.
Besides the erection of a $40, 900 school
building, $50, 900 worth of street paw
ing, $1,000 steam laundry, $50, 900 fed
eral building, $ll, 900 of brick stores,
$2S, 600 Elks Home, new small hotels
to cost near $4,000, all of which have
been chronicled in the past few weeks,
other booms are on the way.
Mr.. Ben Dameron, who owns the cor
ner site of Carrolton avenue and Howard
street, is moving the Franklin Home
on rearlot, and is preparing to let the
contract for $50, 600 or $40, 900 hotel
on this ideal location.
A Carnegie Library to cost $4,000
with a $4,000 Confederate Memorial
annex, is assured, with So, 500 annual
maintenance from the city. The site
has already been donated Mrs. DR.. T. R.
Henderson.
The Eagles Lodge are making repairs
on their home to the extent of So, 900, and
will soon have more commodious quar-
ters.
1t is being rumored that new bank
is about to be launched, which is needed
to accommodate the growing trade of the
Carrolton Avenue business, and will soon
be established. 1t is understood that
it will be National bank, under the
supervision of the government, which
will give Greenwood two National banks.
The promoters have not given out any
information, but the project seems to
be an early certainty.
All around you, as you go through
Greenwood, you feel the atmosphere of
a building, hustling city, and it can
be easily said and proven that Green
wood is enjoying more consistent growth
and material upbuilding and development
than any city in the State. You have
to admit, that Gee Whiz! The towns
alive"

CARNEGIE LIBRARY AND CON
FEDERATE MEMORIAL ANNEX

Greenwood has been definitely assur,
ed of Carnegie Library.
At one of the most delightful lunch
cons ever given in Greenwood, which
was given by Mrs. DR.. T. R. Hender,
son at her palatial home on Tuesday al
noon, the second anniversary of the
Woman's Club, when eighty-fve covers
were laid, the fact was announced. Mrs.
Henderson, the worthy president of the
Woman's Club of Greenwood, made an
interesting talk on "The Work and the
Achievements of the Woman's Club, "
in which she stated that Andrew Car
negie had agreed to give $40, 900 toward
the erection of Library in Greenwood,
that the Mayor and Board of Aldermen
of the city had assured a donation of
81, 500 annually toward the maintenance
of same, and that the Woman's Club
had raised the splendid sum of 10000
for an Annex to the Carnegie Library,
which will be called the Confederate
Memorial Library, and which will add
to the splendor Of the edifce.
The site for the Library has already
been donated by Mrs. Dr. Henderson,
and faces on the nopth-east corner of
Washington and Avenue and Henderson
Street, one of the prettiest locations in
the city.
Other interesting talks made at the
luncheon were on "Spinsters" by Miss
Kate Steele, on Men" by Mrs. Lewis
Humphrey, and humorous sketch by
Mrs. Bruce Brown. Among the promi-
nent out-of-town guests was Mrs. Nellie
Nugent Somerville, of Grdenville, pres
ident of the Mississippi Woman's Suf-
fragette Association, who delivered an
eloquent talk on "Woman's Clubs and
Their Workings" "
The Woman's Club has already start
ed a circulating library, which is daily
increasing in interest, and this splendid
organization expects to see, it assume
greater proportions by the time the new
Carnegie Library building is completed.
The erection of the Carnegie Library,
with the Confederate Memorial Library
Annex, will place Greenwood among
the leading cities in all the states in the
rank Of library facilities.

GREENWOOD GETS ONE OF THE
DEMONSTRATION FARMS.

The Business League scored another
big hit when Secretary Carter received
letter on the Dist inst. from the |. c.
Railroads Industrial and immigration
Department to the effect that the Com
pany had decided to locate one of the Ex-
perimental Demonstration Farms ada
cent to Greenwood. The League has
been alert to land one of these farms,
as only fifteen will be located along its
lines in the South.
The Company has secured the land
necessary for this purpose from Lorraine
Craig, and the farm will be located just
south of Congress Heights, near the
railroad tracks.
Greenwood will do her part to make
the farm a success, and as soon as it is in
shape the planters and farmers will be
invited to visit and profit by the exper-
iments there shown.

IMPROVED TELEPHONE SERVICE
rs ASSURED.

Patrons of the Cumberland Telephone
Company are delighted to note the ar
rival Of material for the installation Of
the flash light system, and the assur.
ance that carload of new phones are
now en- route for Greenwood.
Manager French informs US that the
installation of this improved service
will begin at once, and that in a very
short while Greenwood will enjoy as
good telephone facilities as any city in
the whole country.
Greenwood has been making an effort
through the Business League and the
citizens generally to get better tele-
phone service for the past year, the
proposition being put up to the Com
pany that nothing but the best would
be satisfactory, and that we must have
it. 1t has been long time coming, but
we are glad to announce that the new
service will soon be installed.

He thinks he is. And he cannot under
