CITY COLLECTS
PAVING CHECKS
Those Who Refused to Pay Assess
ment for Wood Block Paving Are
Complying With Court Decision.

In compliance with the recent de-
,cision by the Supreme Court in the
ease styled Bryant Va City Of Greer
wood, in favor Of the city, those who
for the past four years have refused
to pay their assessments for the wood
block paving on Main and Carrollton
Avenue, are coming forward with
checks for the entire amount. Sew
,eral however, have not paid up yet.
The City Attorney has notified
those who have not yet paid the as
sessment that If it is not paid by the
fifteenth Of this month, which is
Thursday, another five per, cent, dam
ages will be added to the costs. Those
who are affected by the decision have
had to pay the initial payment, the
four yearly payments, interest on the
entire amount for four years and ten
cent, damages as well. All of this
has had to come in one payment, in
some instances amounting to several
thousand dollars.
Those who did not fight the pay
ments and met the notes when due
have already finished paying their as
sessments, making one fifth initial
payment and one fifth each year, pay
ing the last note in February Of this
year.

HELENA WILL
JOIN LEAGUE
Arkansas Town Will Take Indianola's
Place in the Cotton States-Adds
New Life to Organization.

Hats off to Helena! The glad news
that the Arkansas city was to take
Indianola's place in the Cotton States
League, thus giving renewed life and
vigor to that circuit and to the pros
poets for professional baseball in the
Delta this year, reached Greenwood
late Saturday night. Helena is a
good towirsand,wh being beyond
the river may have some drawbacks
they will not be sufficient to mar the
organization Of the Cotton States
League, which group of towns will
have professional baseball this year
in spite of strong opposition which
has been brought to bear upon the
situation.
The fans of the Delta regret to lose
Indianola as one of the four teams
composing the league but Helena is
equally as good and the mileage for
the season will not be increased but
very little.
Manager Dudley received the good
news over telephone Saturday night.
A meeting is to be held at Helena to-
day to complete the organization Of
the club.
It is understood that there is
movement on foot to get the league
to take in two or more additional
North Mississippi teams, making the
circuit either six or eight teams.
Nothing definite has been learned to
this effect but rumor persists.
Manager Dudley has been steadily
getting ready for the opening of the
season and is in correspondence with
several good ball players. No con-
tract has been signed with any play
ers yet owing to the uncertainty Of
the organization of the league.
