F0RTY-THREE NEW CARS
LICENSED DURING OCTOBER

Automobile sales are fairly good in
dicators Of the business conditions of
a community. There is small per-
centage of the automobile purchases
that are made at the expense of mort
cages on homes and the like, but the
greater part of them are bought with
surplus money.

dence of prosperity no other proof of
Leflore County's condition would be
necessary, for sales in this city and
county average more than one day
and have for the entire year. During
the month of October, which ended
yesterday, licenses for 43 cars were
taken out by citizens of LeAore Coun-
ty. Of that number 19 were purchas-
ed by citizens of Greenwood, the re-

zens of Lefore County.
With the cars purchased in October
and licenses in that month total of
306 cars have been registered at the
sheriff's Office since the first of Janu-
sry, this year. At an average value
Of $500 each the cars purchased so
far this year in this county represent
an expenditure Of $1S3,6OO.
The month of October is the first
month in which the sales outside the
,ity Of Greenwood have surpassed
those within the city. Usually the
number runs just few greater in
favor Of this city. The past month
shows five more purchased in the en-
tire county than in this city.

the streets followed were one sole
mass of humanity, packed SO thicl
that it was impossible to pass through
the crowd. Over 10000 people wert
in the city and more than a thousand
automobiles.
Lawyers dropped une.r briefs, ste.
nographers climbed out on fire es-
capes, bank clerks flattened their nos
es against windows, telegraph poles
bloomed with youngsters, traffic cops
whistled their whistles and waved
their arms. Ringling Brothers circus
was making it's parade through the
streets of Greenwood this morning.

crowding shoulder to shoulder to see

the vans and cages. Z Z,

blocks and blocks. The genius at the.
|calliope was master of the touch \
system for his fingers rambled over
the keyboard while he gazed at
Greenwood's tall buildings.
Blase musicians ripped ,out popular
airs as they perched atop the gilded
band wagons encircled with crested
banners and there was one company Of
players, bass drum and all, mounted
on horses that didn't seem to mind
their footing at all-real.
Came 16 ships of the desert, camels
slouching along four abreast drawing

fled leathery hided elephants, 50

derm that all the youngsters were
certain must be "Big Bingo." The
only time the elephants stopped, look
ed, shifted and listened was when they
passed a corner where fruit dealer
was roasting peanuts and the tempt
ing odor floated in the ambient breeze.
Also not to be overlooked were the
clowns, with their motley make-ups
and grotesque musical instruments.
All in all it was a circus procession
that will be remembered for many q
long day.
The Ringling circus arrived in
Greenwood bright and early this
morning, coming on 80 cars, divided
into four train sections. It Ii un-
doubtedly the largest travelling amuse.
