BUSINESS LEAGUE DOINGS.

Secretary w. H. Hays informs
The Commonwealth that he has
received notice from the A. A. A.
Touring Buscan that the 1912 Ma
tional reliability tour (Glidden)
leaving Detroit, October 7th, will
pass through Greenwood, the date
of which will be announced later.
About 100 cars and 400 people
will compose the party. The rout.
ing of these tourists via Memphis
and Greenwood is largely due to
the efforts of the New Orleans
Auto Dealers Association, the NO.
Picayune, the Memphis Boosters
and the cities along the route.
C~larksdale, Greenwood, jackson
and Baton Rouge paid 81 900, New
Orleans $2,250, and the other
points along the line proportion
ately to cover cost of the prizes,
salaries of timers, ETC., making a
total of $4,500-Greenwood's pro-
rata being 5000. Of this tour Mr..
Nicholson, of the Picayune, says
among other things:
1T is needless to state the i'm
mense amount of advertising that
will accrue to each of the cities
through which the Glidden tour
passes and the great good it will
be for the u%pbuilding and mainte-
nance of good roads,"
A strong fight was made by At
lanta and other cities between
there and New Orleans TO secure
the tourists for that route, but the
Greenwood route finally
won out.

at Pearidge cemetery, 10 miles
west of Grenada, which was the
birthplace of Mrs. Bloodworth,

ger portion of her life. The de-

and her life was characterized
with good woIds and works. She
was a loyal member of the Bap-
fist church and her attendance
and support of the ordinances Of

of her life.

tisl church, Grenada, conducted
the funeral services. -Four sons
and two daughters survive their
mother, all of whom were present
at the funeral, viz: Tom Blood
worth Of Carrollton, Harmon
