Greenyilla Items,


Greenville has in the past four or Eve
years improved very considerably. ! sup
| pose the main reason is because Of our new
railway. etc. The depot here is neat
building, presided over by an excellent and
polite gentleman, Mr. W. T. Shultz, who
IS always at his post A large business is
done at this point even the rich country
around Middlehrook ships large quantity
of hay &c. from our depot. / notice that
/ in the past week there have been thousands
of bushels of wheat and hundreds of tons
Of hay shipped from this neighborhood.
New Greenville is improving substan-
italy. DIR. Smith has finished his house
and is living in it: it is very neat and
comfortable building Mr.. A. G. Duncan
is just finishing one of the best houses in
this county it is complete in every apart
mant, and cost him large sum of money.
There is quite number of other real neat
houses in this place, and also large num-
Der of good building lots for sale. And
Old Greenyile is also improving and put
ting on the airs Of city. A stranger pass
ing through Main street, OH dark night,
might thiuk he was on Pennsylvania Ave
nue. We have three excellent stores here:
Mr.. j. H. Clarke has a large stock of goods;
next comes Mr.. H. G. Palmer, who is very
polite and carries a good stock; and last
but not least, is Mr. A. G. Duncan, who is
one of the most attentive business men in
this district BY the way, he is our worthy
and acceptable Postmaster. No troubleto
get your mail now !; he fills the bill better
than ever it was before, according to my
view, and I've been getting mail here for
the past % years.
There is no better point or site in the
land for fruit canning factory than here.
Send rs man with the brain and nerve to
| start, and he can get all the fruits and veg.
| etabIes he wants, and right at the depot
| This section is famous for famous for fruit
and vegetables.
There is a great deal of corn still i'll the
| fields We have had so far hard winter,
and those of us who are blessed with plen
| ty should not fail to remember he poor
and needy.
The schools are doing us well as could
be expected, under the present manage
ment. Unless things in general change
hands, and we get National aid, we might
as well abandon / he sy stem. for e will be
forced to do it in a few years. With thir
ty millions dollars State debt to pay, and
then run the schools properly. with the
stealings, is impossible. Alabama cleared
her entire state debt last year, all but $50.
1t is said she has fine and tlourishing
schools and it is shame that old Vir-
ginia, the mother of all states, is thus left
so far in the rear.
