present enjoying the man good things
Of Greenwood Springs and community.
Yes, we are more than enjoying our
stay in this section on Monroe county.
In the first place, we were most for
tunate in getting board with Mr.. and
Mrs. Daniel Crenshaw. They COM
! pose a goodly portion Of the salt Of
the earth that perennially retains its
salutary SAVIOR. To adequately de-
scribe this particular portion of the
Lords vineyard would require a much
more facile pen that that welded by
your humble servant. However, we
will try to give the large army Of
Dispatch readers a brief outline of
/ this lovely hill country that quietly
overlooks the Buttuhatchie. All
along up this valley, on the west side
of the river, we find well improved
farms, with handsome and modern
dwellings,, flower yards, good barns,
with all kinds of cattle and large pens
of fine hogs. While the low price of
cotton has the farmers looking some
what blue, yet most of them have
their living at home; that is to say,
they have an abundance of "hog and
homhy." Mr.. Daniel Crenshaw is the
efficient and accommodating post
master at Greenwood Springs. He is
also one of the leading citizens of the
community and prosperous planter.
Mr.. J. S. Crenshaw if the express,
freight and ticket agent at the Green
wood Springs station on the Saint
Louis & Safl Francisco Railroad. The
stores of Greenwood Springs are well
filled with good merchandise. Our
friend, Doctor +. Z. Lee, is the enter
prising proprietor of the Greenwood
Springs Hotel. IN connection with
the hotel, Doctor Lee will soon have
well-equipped, modern, up-to-date
hospital. We find that Doctor Lee
and his most estimable wife are the
right people In the right place. The
Doctor is a splendid surgeon and ply
stefan, and he is prepared to treat all
diseases. Mrs. Lee is a delightful
chaperone for all ladies who visit the
Springs, as well as comfort and en-
couragement to the patients in the
hospital. Hot and cold baths will be
installed and ready for use by the
early spring. There is nice dance
hall, rs x rs feet, and a ten-pn alley.
These are ffeesto all visitors. There
is a good school here, well-furnished
Methodist parsonage, and fine rock
roads leading to Aberdeen, Amory,
Sulligent and Columbus. Last, but
not least, we find that quite a num-
Der of the citizens of this communi-
ty are trading in Columbus and order
ing goods from the merchants of the
Queen City from their advertisements
that appear regularly in The Dis
patch, which proves beyond peradven-
ture that it really does pay to
advertise.
Everybody is invited to come to Cal
edonia on the night Of December Bird,
and spend a few hours with James
Whitcomb Riley and Ben Hur, as in
terpreted by Professor Ray Bendell,
the great entertainer, whose interpre-
tations are clear and distinct in all
their outlines. One of his most pop
ular numbers is his impersonation of
Lincoln, which all people should hear
because of its educational value. The
program at Caledonia is exactly the
same as given in the large cities of
the country. Fathers, come and bring
the family. You will find that it is
money judiciously expended. The en-
tertainment is to be given at the Cal
edonia High School and will begin
promptly at 7:90 p. m.
Our people are all delighted to well
come the Reverend r. l.. Ellis back on
the Caledonia Circuit for another
year. Brother Ellis has during the
past year made host of friends in
this section. All are glad he is tc
remain upon this, one of the best cir.
cults in the conference. Now let one
and all, old and young, cooperate
with him to the end that the coming
year may be the best in the history
of the charge.
What came near being fatal acct
dent occurred last Sunday afternoon
when Mr.. II. j. Rickle, with his fam.
