BEST SINGLE ADVERTISEMENT
GREENWOOD HAS.

Mr.. J. L. Gillespie, Editor and Pub
fisher Commonwealth, Greenwood,
Miss:
Dear Sir:--I want to congratulate
you and the people Of Greenwood on the
general character and success Of The
Daily Commonwealth. When it was
announced that a Daily for Green
wood was to be launched, in common
with many others, an ambitious ex-
cuse from a proud little city was look
ed for, more than anything else. Few
believed that the town, as ambitious,
prosperous, and solid as it is, could
or would really support as solid and
substantial a daily paper as you are
publishing. geographically, editor
tally, in local and general news, and
in high class, interesting advertising,
it ranks right along with the dailies
of cities numbering thirty and forty
thousand inhabitants. One is able
to subscribe for it for what it is worth
not merely or even partially as q
feeling of local pride or duty. It Is the
best single advertisement the city Of
Greenwood has. A SUBSCRIBER.
The daily commonwealth. (Greenwood, Leflore Co., Miss.) 1916-1919, 1917-08-04

WE ALL GET IT.

Yes, we all get it, both going and coming.
The farmer gets big prices for his produce
and pays stiff ones for his clothing, shoes, imple-
ments.
The manufacturer gets high mark for his
wares and coughs up lively for his eats and his
other necessities.
The laborer gets good wages and pays it all out
to keep soul and body together.
And the editor digs down like hell for every
thing he gets and gets it in the neck at every dig.
Some getting, that.
The embargo, properly enforced, will convince
some so-called neutral countries that there is a
limit to Uncle Sans open door, policy-as it
should.
