toplay made in and near Greenwood
by the Selig Co., of Chicago, just a
few weeks ago, is booked for a show
ing at the Greenwood Theatre on
Thursday of this week, Matinee and

he is to get the very first run on this
photoplay, having a preference over
one Of the leading Theatres on Canal
Street, New Orleans. Mr.. Schilling
made a special trip to New Orleans
to secure the first rights on the pic
ture, and with the very usual interest
attached to the picture by the fact
that a good portion of the p~hotoplay
was made If and near Greenwood,
we are confident that every perform
ance will have a capacity house.

Mr.. F. GOODMAN RETURNS
FROM NEW YORK.

Mr.. F. Goodman returned last night
from a business visit of a few weeks
to New York City where he has been
buying a complete stock Of new and
stylish spring merchandise for the
many customers of the F. Goodman
Dry Goods Company.
Some of these new goods have al
ready arrived, bat the bulk Of his ex-
tensive purchases will be shipped as
soon as they can be prepared for
shipment, and Mr.. Goodman assures
the public that his selections were
very carefully made and that he con-
fdently believes the most fastidious
and exacting will be able to find just
what they want at his popular fash
ion emporium when the pretty line Of
spring dress goods, millinery, notions,
etc., has been received and displayed
for their inspection.
Mr.. Goodman reports an unusually
large number of retail merchants in
the metropolis this season; that it is
almost impossible to geta hotel ac-
commodations; the merchants from
all sections have an abundance Of
money and are buying goods in vast
quantities; scores of business men, are
there from South America and other
countries buying American-made
goods who have never before traded
in the United States-and that they
are so we'll pleased it is likely they
will make this country their perma-
nent purchasing market.

CONTRARY MEN.

"Some men do write when they d.

And some do live who dye;
And some are short" when they ar
long,
And stand when they do lie.
"A man is surly when he's late,
Is round when he is square;
He may die early and dilate,
And may be "foul' when fair"
"He may be 'fast" when he is slow,
And "~loose" when he is slight;
And "high" when he is very low,
And heavy when he's tight
she may be wet when he is dry"
He may be "great" when small;
May purchase when he won't go by,
Have naught when he has awl.
HE may be sick when he is swell"
And hot when he is scold;
He's skilled SO he on earth may dwell,
And when he's young he's Sold"
