PERFECT WOMANHOOD.
She must be honest, both in thought

Of generous impulse, and above all
greed;
Not seeking praise, or place for her
higher pelf;
But life's best blessings for her high

Which means the best of all.

She must have faith
To make good friends of Trouble,
Plain and Death.
And understand their message,
As redolent with tender sympathy
As a rose with fragrance,
Cheerfulness
Should be her mantle, even though her

May be of sorrowing weaving.
On her face
A loyal nature leaves its seal of grace.

BIG CARNIVAL COMING TO
GREENWOOD.
■■ "
The Clarksdale Register of Dec.
30th made the following comment on
the Clifton-Kelley Shows which will
be in Greenwood all next week :
"After a very successful week of
business, the big $10,000 merry go
round, by the way, one of the best that
has ever been in Clarksdale, did a
good business. The big Colored Min
strel Shows, featuring the best colored
minstrel talent in the minstrel busi
ness, played to capacity. Geo. Green,
„the Dancing Demon on Roller Skates,
assisted by twelve colored minstrel
people, entertained at every perform-!
a nce. The Tango Girls Musical Com
0 ,|y q 0 piayed to good business, using
a )j th e ; a te SO ngs and jokes, featur
j ng pull Hyley. tjie Kid Comedian, in
Irish, Dutch and black face work, as
sistcd by a capital company of singers
ani p dancers. Special scenery and
fighting effect, making the show one
0 f the best on the road at popular
prices.
"The Monkey Speedway, a "new
show," just out, is the cleverest show
seen here for some time. The little
monkeys driving high-power automo
biles are in a class by themselves.
"Hysteria is a show by itself, and
sends the public away wondering and
gues8 ing. '
"The Gold Nugget Dance Hall, is
entertaining large crowds nightly, and
a cleaner and better show is hard to
find.
"The Silodrome, where the daredevil
motor cycle riders are, is doing a land
office business at every performance,
featuring "Chick," the daredevil, on
a "motor cycle," on the steepest mo
trodome ever built.
j "Clark's Dog and Poney Show is as
good a show as you will ever find trav
eling with a Carnival Company, the
j ponie3 and dogs doing everything but
talk. The other features, too numer
ous to mention, are equally as good."

Nutritious, Economical, Pure Flour
with a delicacy of flavor and lightness that will make
your best biscuits, cakes, bread and other goodies.
A famous food expert, not long ago, urged housewives to encourage
bread eating in their families, stating that there is more energy in a
pound of bread than in a pound of meat, with a wide difference in cost.
This advice is particularly good when Swans Down Flour is used,
because all of the good in wheat is retained and all that is inferior
eliminated.
