DAILY NEWSPAPERS IN

Greenwood is the best town Gifts
size on the continent, and as soon
as she has reached the proportions
that will enable her business men
to decentIy support a first-class
daily newspaper one that VIII be
a credit to the town and the peo-
Dle-The Commonwealth will in
stall a modern plant and furnish
them a daily paper Of which every
citizen will be proud. II requires
lots Of money, a great deal OF
hard work and good business
management to make asuCcess Of
a daily newspaper proposition,
and those who have never had
any experience in the business
will realize this fact pretty soon If
they should ever invest any Of
their surplus coin in such a VEN
ture. People in different places
have had this experience, and are
sadder, if not wiser" as a conse-
quenCe.
Another reason why such a
venture would prove an uphill
business in Greenwood, Is the
fact that the Memphis Commercial
Appeal arrives here every morn

The greatest drawback to the
country has been the practice of
sending too much money away
from home, says an exchange.
Money that should have promot-
ed home industries has helped to
enrich other sections. The remer
dy is now provided by the parcels
post and we have the opportunity
of our lives if we will but grasp
it. Business will undergo a COM
plete change, Heretofore the
merchant with small capital has
almost completely ignored the
mail order business and the big
mail order houses, ever active
and alert, have taken trade from
right under his nose, Mail order
business which is already much
greater than many imagine, will
increase immensely and within a
short time, as soon as the parcels
post system is perfected, shopp-
ing by mail will be universal.
Postage rates give the advantage
to the home man but if he fails to
accept it, the big mail order con-
Germs, having a catalogue in each
home, will continue to get the
business and money that is need
ed at home will 90 away never to
return.
