Dear Sir:
l sincerely trust that you will find
the following worthy of publication:
Your article in Commonwealth of
22nd inst. under heading of acute
demand for more buildings" falls a
trifle short of explaining the situa-
ton in Greenwood. / have no desire
to take issue with you on this subject
nor do l intend to discredit Green
wood or any of it's people, but since
coming to this little city less than
one year ago l have had more exper-
fence in Room Hunting" (and from
present indications September first
will be another open season) than in

correct that part of your article which
reads: "There is not a vacant house
or a vacant room in the city"

ooms in the city, but they are for
"Men Only"
A lady who is forced to earn a live
lihood in the commercial world is none
too fortunate, and to place this ad-
ditional burden Upon them is not only
an injustice but tends to reflect upon
the good name of III city.
The writer has been what the more
conservative minded are pleased to
call a trolling ~stone," having taken up
residence in seventeen states of this
most wonderful union, extending from
the grand eastern metropolis to the
small western mining town, and in
pursuit of living quarters have been
informed that no children, parrots,
dogs nor other live stock were al
lowed, but am forced to admit that
Greenwood is the first city that OBJ
jects to letting a room to a lady who
only too willingly offers first class
references.
The writer has no object in view
other than calling attention to the
people of Greenwood of existing con-
ditions, and if it results in ONE un-
fortunate female finding comfortable
living quarters, will feel repaid:

Evidence from such sources as
these is unassailable. These men are
exposed to all conditions of weather
as no others are. Their ans take
them from mountain to seashore, from
swamp to highland through rain and
storm, cold and sleet, and they never
falter in their duty. They must al
ways guard against disease. These
men speak from personal experience;
no wonder they pin their faith to Tan
lac, for it has served them we'll.
Tanlac is sold by leading druggists.

 Whether the president will address congress is believed to depend on the legislative situation.
