IMPROVING BUILDING
ON TAYLOR STREET

81
While building continues in
Corinth and Alcorn county, char
acteristic of the progressive spirit
that invades this entire section,
this season of the year marks
quite a great deal Of this work.
Repair work to both business
houses and residences is now be-
ing pushed rapidly, and while
these repairs are not strictly con-
fined to either one, the business
section seems to be ahead on re-
pairs that are in progress right at
this time.
A. Fl. Patrick, contractor and
architect, has been awarded the
contract for extensive improve
ments on the old laundry building
recently purchased by B. F. Lid
don from J. H. Collier, and work
will begin within few days.
This contract includes the erec-
tion of a galvanized steel awning,
solid plate glass front, and the
construction of a parlor and show
window department to be used by
W. r. Denton, In connection with
his automobile business.
The structure will be generally
overhauled. and while it has long
since been consider ed a valuable
investment, the improvement will
enhance the value of the property
! to a considerable extent.
Material has been ordered, and
it is expected to arrive soon, when
the work will be entered upon, and
pushed to q rapid completion, =

R. !. LIVELY TENDERS
. RESIGNATION AS sec.
RETARY OF B. N. c.

R. T. Lively has rendered his
resignation as secretary Of the
Business Men S Club to take effect
Ion Wednesday, December Is.
This announcement will be read
with genuine regret by the people
Iof Corinth and Alcorn county, as
well as those Of the surrounding
country and towns, who have
made his acquaintance since his
coming to Corinth.
Mr.. Lively has been a very en-
thusiastic worker for the Business
Mems Club. No debts for the
club have been made during his
administration that are now un-
lpaid, and it can truly be said that
he has done much toward the up
building Of this commercial or
ganization in many ways.
During the secretaryship OF Mr..
Lively, the Business Mems Club
of Corinth has been put in closer
touch with the farmers of this ter
ritory than at any other time, and
suffice it to say that it is almost
wholly due to the efforts of the
secretary, in performing many
clever deeds for the agriculturists
Of the county.
i He has served the past few
months, in connection with the du-
ties imposed upon him as secre-
tary, for a seed house, handling
the business mainly for the farm
ers alone, and it has had splendid
results. He has placed at their
disposal the very best seed Oh the
market, seed that have stood the
test, and it will no doubt, develop
in better crops than has ever beer
known before.
He is tireless worker. He has
done his best, and that has been
much for the benefit of the club
1T can be truthfully said that Mr.
Lively is favorite in Corinth
and as a commercial man. it will
be hard to find his equal IN this
position:
1t is witt, regret that his friends
learn of his resignation, and fol
lowing him are the very best
wishes and God-speed IN his work
in the future, wherever he may
locate.
Mr.. Lively expects to leave or
or about the 18th, for Natchez
and, while not definitely decided
as to the nature of the business he
will engage in, he will probably
locate in Natchez.
The club will operate lrom the
18th to the 1st Of the New Year
probably under the management
Of the officers left in charge. when
it is probable that a meeting OF
the directors will be called, and
arrangements made for the selec.
ton Of new secretary.

NEAR $4,000 BALES RE-
CEIVED BY LOCAL PRESS

Cotton receipts at the Gulf
Compress Co., are gradually in
creasing day by day, and the to-
tai to date shows "a, ,867 bales.
When taken into consideration
that this amount is less than five
thousand bales of the receipts at
this same date last year, it will be
necessary to consider the shortage
of the crop of this year against
1914, which was one Of the banner
record years in the cotton produc-
ton.
Last years total up to this time
was 26,906 bales. The largest
days receipts Of wagon cotton
was last Tuesday-Trade Day
when the compress received 355
bales. The biggest days business
lof the year, including wagon cot
E, ton was 700 bales, and the largest
last year was 100 bales.

LOCAL HOSTELRIES TAXED
TO ACCOMMODATE BIG
INCREASED PATRONAGE

Business at the local hotels has
increased so materially within the
past thirty days that it has become
necessary to make additional
apartments. Recently, repairs
were mande in the building of
three rooms on the third floor at
the Waldron. These were soon
inadequate, and it has become
necessary for even more room.
A contract has been awarded
A. II. Patrick for finishing up ten
additional rooms on the third floor
and same is now in progress. The
rooms will be finished in keeping
with the other apartments, in the
way Of providing convenience and
comfort.
Mr.. Patrick expects to have this
work completed in the next ten
days. "a a.e ~ .-.s.k

in sympathy and harmony with the
boom for former Representative Frank
