A GREAT DAY FOR GREENWOOD.

Fully five thousand representative peo-
pie from Lefore and adjoining counties
to Greenwood yesterday to attend our
big 'Get-Aequainted and Good Roads Bar
becue, which proved to be decidedly the
most successful affair from every standpoint
that has ever been given by the good people
of the Queen City Of the Delta" the
Cleanest City in Mississippi, if you please!
The day was as clear as a bell; the COM
mittee on arrangements had everything
shaped up in such an admirable manner that
success was assured beyond any question;
the vast throng of intelligent and substan-
tial citizens begunto arrive early in the
morning, and when the hour for the auto
parade arrived the streets were literally
thronged with ~good-humored people all on
pleasure bent for the ''blue ribbon day" in
hospitable Greenwood's limitless confines.
The parade to Barnes Park was led by
Greenwood's excellent brass band, and the
Jolly crowd fell in line with the hundreds of
autos, carriages and buggies, etc., and with
in a few minutes the Park was practically
filled with the greatlmultitude Of visitors
augmented by a few thousand of u local
people.
Judge ". M. Hammer ably presided as
master of ceremonies and ~eloquently intro
duced the speakers of the occasion, viz.
Hon. Jas. N. Dyson, President and General
Manager of the Economic Power & Products
Co., of Philadelphia, Pa, and head of our
new Paper Pulp Factory; Congressman B.
6. Humphreys, of G~reenville; Judge A. E.
Chamberlain, Of Chicago; and Mr.. H. H.
Lotter, y. 5. Government Highway Engi-
neer. Each of these gentlemen delivered
interesting and instructive addresses on the
subjects OF manufacturing, agriculture, good
roads, ETC., which were very much enjoyed
by their many hearers.
An intermission was had for the mann
moth and deliciously prepared barbecue din
ner of beef, pork, mutton, etc., and there
was an abundance of everything for every
body and more too,
At night a grand fireworks display was
given, after which a big dance took place at
the Park Pavilion.
We never heard of a complaint from any
source. The visitors were all delighted with
their entertainment, and we were all more
than pleased to have had them here as our
honored guests.
The affair was mainly gotten up to
properly celebrate Greenwood's recent good
fortune in securing the location of a million
dollar Paper Pulp Factory, which will make
paper pulp from cotton stalks, and a more
successful or appropriate affair could not
have been possibly desired by the gentlemen
composing the committee in charge. 1t was
indeed a great day for Greenwood.

GREENWOODS' CLEANEST CITY VIC
TORY A BIG BOOST.

The people Of Greenwood have Just
cause to be proud of the victory she has
won over all of the cities of 1900 population
and over in Mississippi in the recent Clean
est Town Contest" which was conducted
under the direction of the State Board Of
Health.
1t is a victory that really means more
for Greenwood than a great many of US
fully realize, and will attract more favorable
attention to the real Queen City of the
Delta" than any other ONE thing her pro-
g~ressive and enterprislng citizens have ever
accomplished for their glorious city and It's
future career.
The credit for this great accomplishment
is due to the faithful and u~ntiring work Of
the noble ladies Of the Civic Section of the
Woman's Club combined with the hearty
cooperation of the city authorities, the
county and city health officers and practi-
caIly our entire splendid citizenship hence
there is really no reason for surprise that
Greenwood won the first prize from the
cities composing the first class or grade of
the many contestants. 1t was simply Green
woods way Of winning everything she goes
after.
There never was at any time a look in
for such cities as Jackson, Meridian, ViCks-
burg, Hattiesburg and several other inconse-
quential cities, scattered here and there
over our State, in a contest with Greenwood,
1t is only a matter of a very short time
when the other Mississippi cities will volun-
tarily vote to give Greenwood anything she
asks for without a contest over the matter.
The press dispatches state that Green
wood won the first prize over the cities Of
the first class not only because ''she has
clean restaurants, grocery stores, meat mar
kets, bakeries, sanitary schools, and good
general sanitation, but occupies the unique
position of having all the homes properly
sanitated, that is, provided with the right
kind of closets"
Naturally we are all proud Of the hon
or of being the Cleanest City in Mississippi,
and it is up to US to sacredly maintain the
record won. Let us all faithfully continue
to cooperate with the city authorities and
the ladies of the civic league in their praise
worthy efforts to keep Greenwood clean and
attractive.
It viii cost very little and means a
great deal in advancing the ~upbuAding and
best interests of our God-fayored city.

A y CANDIDATE.

Judge Reily's recent speech making
tour of the Delta, in behalf Of his uE,didacy
for Governor, is reported as having been a
continuous ovation for that deservedly popu-
lar gentleman. His crowds were decidedly
larger at all points in the Delta than those
which have greeted any candidate for any
Office in this section of the State Outing the
present campaign and the enthusiasm in his
favor has out-dlstanced by several degrees
that developed for any other aspirant for
any Office. This is our candid opinion of
the situation, Notwithstanding the fact that
we are supporting Hon. H. M. Quin, who is,
in our opinion, the best fitted man in the
race for Governor.

GOOD RAINS AND THE CROPS.

Splendid rains visited this section of
the Delta last Sunday and Monday evenings,
and the crops have been very much improved
as a consequence especially the early corn,
which is now practically made. The con-
ditions were never better at this season than
at present and it looks as though Let1ore
county will make bumper crops OF both
cotton and corn. A few boil weevils have
appeared in the cotton at a few places, but
inasmuch as this dread pest is four weeks
later than their appearance here last year,
and the cotton crop is at least two weeks
earlier than last season, our best farm
ers are rather confident that the ravages
from the weevils will not prove very dlsas-
trous this year.
The Commonwealth hopes their ideas
are correct, and that big crops will be made,
and that fair prices will received for anne

THE MOST IMPORTANT OFFICES,

Of all the offices that will be voted on
in the primary this year the most important
are members Of the Legislature, members
of the board Of supervisors and justices Of
the peace, wisely suggests an exchange.
The two former have the spending Of every
cent that you pay for taxes. The last men,
toned passes upon the property and liber-
ties of the citizens in many more instances
than do the circuit and chancery Judges Of
the State. The men who hold these offices
should be not only our best men but should
be paid more for their services.
