Mr.. Alphonse Moyse, who so grace
allY represented the Sentinel before
he social world at the Press Conven-
ion in GreenYille, has, at last, returned
lome, and is so overcome awith
atigue,' the many wonders aud innu-
nerable gorgeous and magnificent
ioeial affairs he had the honor of at
ending while there, that he has not
fet been able to give US an account of
he affair. He is in an eestacy of de-
light over the convention and the gem
,rous manner in which the good people
here treated him, and says Just as soon

GreenviIle, the county site of Wash
lngton county, place of some 5000
inhabitants, is beautifully situated on
high grounds on the Mississippi river;
it is the terminus of the Georgia Pa
citic and L. N. o. Il L. railroads. Green
vile has splendid facilities, several
large and well equipped cotton com'
presses and oil mills. Ii has fine sys-
TEN of public schools for both white |
and colorcd, which run nine months
during the year. Greenville, the me-
tropolis of the delta, is surrounded by |
the richest and most productive lands
upon the american continent, and pros
pectively has bright future.-Water
Valley Progress.
Greenvilie's remarkable commercial
progress and substantial business pros
perity isn't surprising when we con-
slider the surrounding territory the
vast fertile lands that have been chang
ed from watery waste to highest type
of agricultural perfection, achieving
in production what the famed Nile
never dreamed of in its palmlest days.
Without envy we recognize her pros
perity and do honor to her prominence,
regretting that we dare not hope to
rival it, We shall watch Greenvillc's
future with cordial interest that is
only equalled by the deep-rooted graf
itude she has planted In the hearts OF
the Mississippi Press by the unstinted
hospitality so generously rendered.
