G~RRrHv11B, MISS. Jan. ~, iesa
GreenvIlle has Of late been quite unN
fortunate. Between disastrous fires
ard the caying Of the river banks
makes the hump Ia the merchants back
increase in size, and traffic seems to be
on the standstill, and the burden of ex-
pense will be difficult for them to
carry. A stock company has been or
gained and as soon as the debris Of
the burnt oil mill can be removed, a
larger and more substantial one will be
built.
There has been quite a number Of
amusements at the Opera-house. the
principal attractions being Ford's
Mikado Opera Company and Miss
Katie Putnam. The citizens are fond
of entertainments Of this kind, and a
good troupe can always be assured Of
an ~appreciative audience in Green
vile.
Squire Loewenberg has been called
upon to perform the solemn rites and
duty Of baptizing into the Jewish
faith the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar
Ignace, and returned to Vicks5uTg on
Sunday evenings train. The 'squir
seemed to have an eyeto business and
was in unusually good humor.
An entertainment was given on
Tuesday evening at the residence Of
Mrs. Joseph Hirsh, in honor Of the
betrothal of her neice, Miss Bertha
Hirsh, to Nanny Dreyfus- The young
ladies never displayed themselves TO
better advantage than they did on this
occasion, as each looked like a fresh
blown rose, ready to be plucked, and
the sterner sex, whiled away tire hours
in dancing, jovial conversation and
fun in general. Miss Sadie Johl, Of
Memphis, sister Of the hostess, whose
sweet winning ways has made her
many friends, was acting floor man
ageT, and the order in which she dis
posed of dances, made the boys sick
with envy. Mrs. Joseph Hirsh, the
hostess, whose renewed hospitality
and never failing generosity is un-
tqualled has the the thanks Of all those
present for the excellent supper and a
warm spot reserved for her in the
hearts Of those-that drank the most
wine.
The marriage fever has struck
Greenviile, and from the present pros
pect, the town will either increase or
become depopulated. The following
engagements have been announced:
Mr., Lewis Waldaner to Miss Little
Johl, of Memphis; Mr.. J. Widkowski
to Miss Sis Lemle; Mr.. Nanny Drey-
fus to Miss Bertha Hirsh, and others
that are too modest to let the world
know they love.
The most social event of the season
took place at the Temple on
Sunday evening, the 10th inst,
when DR.. Began united in marriage
Mr.. Jos. Winstin to Miss Emma
Waldaner. Although the night was
bitter cold, and the piercing wind
seemed to penetrate every fibre Of the
body, yet that beautiful little edifice
was thronged to its utmost capacity,
each one t~ip-toeing to catch a glimpse
of the bridal procession, as they
marched to the peals Of the wedding
march in the following order: MI.
Dave Winstin. with Miss Ray Walda-
ner, in white; Mr.. d. Wurtzberger,
with Miss Flora Waldaner, in pink
then came Mr.. Henry Winstin, with
the brides mother, in black silk (; Mr..
Nathan Ehrlich, with the bride in
white satin, the entire group making
a picture lovely to behold. After the
ceremony, a brilliant reception was
held at the residence of the brides
mother, and after an elegant repast, of
which all enjoyed, and toasts of con-
graduation were offered to the bride
and groom, dancing was then in or
der. and was continued until the dawn
Of day bid the jewellers dispense,
which they did with numerous regrets.
