GREENWOOD MAY GET ICE
HOUSE.
YazOo Man Here To Look Over Prop
Osition. Don't Fear Competition.

osition. Don't Fear Competition.
L. Bendat, ice and proprietor Of the
Home Bottilng Works of Yazoo City,
was in town Wednesday looking over
the situation with a view of putting in
an ice house here.
Last summer when The Enterprise
opened its fight on the high price Of
ice, Mr.. Bendat became interested and
wrote the editor for copies Of paper.
The result is that he isnow figuring
nopening nice house here.
Mr.. Bendat is not afraid of c. L.
Wright in the ice business. He has
fought him successfully in Yazoo City.
The people Of Yazoo City stood by
him and bougth ice from him at 40
cents hundred whe MIR. Wright was
selling ice for 25 cents a hundred.
.M4. Wright sold and advortisef,ise a.
25 cents hundred in Yazoo City for
9 years, then ke 2ave up the fight and
raised the price Of ice to the same
prices that Mr.. Bendat had been sell
ing it all the time, which is 10 pounds
for nicke from the wagon, 1000
pound coupon books, coupons from 10
pounds up, for $4.00, 35 cents a hun
dfed to the soda founts and 30 cents
to the butcLers. That is the price at
which MI. Bendat proposes to sell ice
b Greenwood. That Is the price at
which MIR. G. E. Wright sell ice in
Yazoo Ci,y.
Think of the saving in Greenwoods
ice bill ytaI. 1t will be enough to
pay all thee Commissioners salaries
several times over, and not nominal
salaries cithe.. but tho saalries Of men
who give their time to the ciay's af
fairs.
Mr.. T.. .ndst should have the coop
GRAFTON u every loyal citizen Of cf
Greenwccd in his proposal to give the
citizens Of Cieenwood ice at reason
allie price. The Greenwood EntDr-
price lis for the proposition hand and
glove, and SO is the editor, who Is a
candidate for City Commissioner. We
will be for cheaper ice always until
we get II, but it would add great
impetus to the cheaper ice movement
to have one Of the City Commission
ers openly fighting TO rthe same
Greenwood Enterprise.

The Mississippi Association Of
Graduated Nurses met in Greenville,
Miss, Oct. 80 and 81, 1914. Miss
Jane c. Bright and Miss Beatrice
Luckett attended from this city. Miss
Bright reports a most helpful and
interesting meeting, each session be-

to the work of a nurse and the re-
quirements that make good nurse.
The first meeting was held in the
Methodist church and was taken up
with the usual resolutions.
Many papers were read, which were
very helpful and instructive to the
nurses present. One of the most i'm
rcTtal.t paper was "How to influence
tha better educated class Of women
to enter training IL. nurses"
The people of Greenville extended
this band of noble women many So
cial coutresies and left nothing un-
done for their pleasure as well as
profit. Yazoo is proud of the women
who are devoting their lives to this
noble work. They are all consecrated
Christians who feel the responsibility

MR.. W. R. RITCH
WILL GIVE ENTIRE TINE TO VA
zoo COUNTY.
Petitions in Favor of Employing Mr..
Ritch We're Three to One.

The Board of Supervisors voted to
employ Mr.. w. R. Ritch for his full
time, at their meeting yesterday, his
salary being fixed at S1,500 a year.
This will be money well spent Mr..
Ritch came to this county last spring
as Government demonstrator, and had
to divide his time with two other
counties, Holmes and Sharkey. He
was nandi, lpped from the FAC. tina:
his work was little known, and because
of the small portion of his time he
could give to each county. But he
went to work, and by his intelligent
methods, his plain, common sense, and
the sterling honesty of the man, he
soon won his way into the confidence
of our people.
No Government expert ever came
to this c. uuty who had the practical
Knowledge of farming shown by Mr..
Ritch. He induced quite a number
of our farmers to follow his methoos,
and wherever they were followed the
best results were obtained. We be.
lieve that he has been worth to our
county many times what he has cost
US. And from what he has done in
the past, by giving the county his full
time, we believe that next year he
will increase the farm products of
this county ten-fold. If this too
too strong? We say it because we
firmly believe in Mr.. Ritch and his
common-sense methods.

ELECTION RETURNS.
DEMOCRATS LOSE MANY, BUT
RETAIN CONTROL OF CONGRESS.
Uncle Joe Cannon Comes Back and
Many Useful Congressman
Defeated.

While but little interest was tax
en- in the election in Mississippi, yet
in other States there was intense ex-
citement. In some States the returns
are yet very incomplete, and in some
cases the result is in doubt. II is deii-
nitely settled, however, that the Pro-
Or, Se've party is dead.
In New York, Whitman, Repub,i-
can, is elected Governcr, and in
Ecnnsylvania, Penrose triumphed. I'M
Gle Joe Cannon was elected from his
district in Illinois. Ohio went strong
ly Republican.
But Tennessee has redeemed her
self, and has given Rye, the Demo-
cratic candidate, about 10000 major
ity over Hooper, who was the Repub-
lican candidate.
The attest estimates places the
Democratic majority in the House Of
Representatives at 20, with a major
ity Of Ii in the Senate.
In Mississippi.
Mississippi, of course elected all
her Democratic Congressman, and all
the Democratic candidates for judges.
The fate of the constitutional amend
ments are in doubt, as the returns are
so meagre and incomplete. 1t may
take the official count to determine
which, if any, are adopted. /,
