AN URGENT APPEAL.

For the past two years the King's
Daughters have handled the United
the j Charity with the funds subscribed by
,a few of the Greenwood citizens and
jfrom the King's Daughters treasury,
There never has been enough sub
scribed to carry on the work, and the
\ collections this summer have been very
in poor.
We now have a family that is desti
tute and sick; the mother has tuberou
] os i3 and the two little children the
not j whooping cough. We want to send
| them out west, where the mother may
have a chance to be spared to help
raise her children. It will cost at
! least $75.00. But looking from a fin
ancial point of view this will even be
cheaper than keeping them here to
buy clothing, food milk, eggs and fuel
for the winter, but don't you think it
the humane thing to do?
Now, we are fioing to ask any one
that would like to contribute toward
this charitable deed, to send it or
phone at once to Mrs. C. P. Pepper,
Secretary of United Charity.
We would not make this public ap
peal—especially now, when so many
demands are being made on our purse
strings—if there was any money in
the King's Daughters treasury.
But we are going to be compelled
to borrow more money to maintain
hospital, and can we afford to let
the poor unfortunate at our very doors
suffer?
you going to do about it?

One of the most popular resorts in the South is right in the state,
fine roads for motoring, new garage, every convenience. Dancing
every night, concerts, new bowling alleys. Frequent balls during the
season, with music by BUD SCOTT.
The mineral waters at Browne Wells have been known and used

BEST SINGLE ADVERTISEMENT
GREENWOOD HAS.
Mr. J. L Gillespie, Editor and Pub
l sher Commonwealth, Greenwood,
Miss.:
Dear Sir:—I want to congratulate
you and the people of Greenwood on the
general character and success of The
Daily Commonwealth. When it was
announced that a Daily for Green
wood was to be launched, in common
with many others, an ambitious ex
cuse from a proud little city was look
ed for, more than anything else.- Few
believed that the town, as ambitious,
prosperous, .and solid as it is, could
or would really support as solid and
sub-iontial a daily paper as you are
publishing. Typographically, editor
ially, in local and general news.-and
in high class, interesting advertising,
it ranks right along with the dallies
i of cities numbering thirty end forty
thousand inhabitants. One is able
I to subscribe far it for what it fa worth
—not merely or even partially a$ a
feeling of local pride or duty. It is the
best single advertisement the city of
Greenwood ha». A SUBSCRIBER.
