GREENvILLE, VA, April %.
For many years our town has presented
the appearance of a finished place, so neg
lected has been its houses and streets,
but since the advent of the V. R. r. to
this place it has begun to put on new
life and energy. A charter has been OBJ
tanned and quiet now reigns, and ere long
the muddy streets will be transformed iu-
to decent thoroughfares, and from all in
dcations the appearance of the houses
will be greatly improved and beautified
this season besides. Whilst the old town
is thus putting on new garb number of
new edifices for residences and business
will be erected in what is known as new
Greenville, or that portion lying nearest
the V. r. r. depot. Several houses are
already under contract and building,
besides some twenty or thirty lots have
been gold, on which the purchasers propose
erecting buildings, amongst which is IN
cluded the new Baptist church, &c. So
that when the new macadamzed road is
completed from that thrifty and populous
settlement of MiddIehrook to here, not
a few look forward to rapid growth in our
already heavy freight over the B. & o. V,
r. E. as we'll as great advance in real es-
tate which has already almost doubled in
value in the last few years. Ing uiries are
coming in from real estate men from the
North already so that if the proper spirit
is manifested amongst our land owners
an era Of unexampled prosperity is before
US in the near future, and now let a few
factories be started and capital will seek
investment and home market will be af-
forded for the abundance of cereals that
are raised in the community. With all
these Indications Of increased prosperity,
we can reasonably expect in a short while
to see a town of no mean proportions.
The farm known as the Betsey Doak
farm Was purchased recently from the
Messrs. Wood ward by Col. II. ]. Will
liams at 81 500 This is the first time
this land has ever been sold, it having
been settled on by the Doakes in the early
pioneer days of Augusta and transferred
by will until the death of Miss Betsy
Doak, who was the last one of the name
in the county, hence the necessity for a
change of hands. The place was used as
fort during the early settlement, against
the Indians. The old building is still
standing.
Owing to the severe wet season this
spri.g the farmers are very backward
with their spring crops. None of them
have planted any corn, and but few are
ready to plant.
The severe cold snap did not injure the
fruit much in this community.
Mr.. Leroy J. Phaup, the polite and gen.
| tlemanly clerk at Mr.. A. G. Duncan's,
was licensed to exhort by the last Balti-
| more Conference of the M. E. Church
South. He has entered upon his work.
| Mr.. B. F. McClung, who has been long
confined to his loom by a severe illness, is
again able to be about and attend to bust
ness.
An election for town officers will be
held here in May and then the candidates
will be numerous and we opine the de-
| feated ones will be moons olable.

GLASS BLOWERS
Out on Strike at Pittsburg Against Reduc-
ton of Wages.

Out on n Strike at Pittsburg Against Reduc-
ton of Wages.
The following item of general interest to
the workmen of this city was taken from the
Plttsburg Commercial Gazette:
The prescription blowers met to the num-
Der of about 25O last night in Masonic
Hail. Forty-seventh street. They talked
over the question Of getting the apprentices
10 strike to-day, when the blowers are to
come out. Many of the boys had let the
blowers understand that they would quit
work to-day.
A non-union glassblower last night said
that to-day the strike would become general
in the city and the smaller towns AT W.
H. Hamilton & Co.'S glass factory on
Tweuty-6rst street all but eight of their
forty blowers notified the firm that they
would not work to-day on the reduced scale
Many of the apprentices will also come out,
In consequence the firm last night ordered
only two of their three furnaces to be light
ed up. In the other Hamilton factory, at
Twenty-sixth street. all the blowers but
three, it is said, signi6ed their intention last
night to join the strike. Many of the ap.
prentices did the same. At libby Bros ,
Sharpsburg, some halfdozen blowers will
work to-day and most of the apprentices.
The delegates in town from distance say
it is their intention to remain here while the
strike lasts to aid by their influence and
money those who oppose the reduction.
