evoked by the sssemblage of the Press
Association at Greenyille. They can
but be gratifying to our citizens and
more than compensatory for the labor
and expense entailed. For the City of
Greenville, we tender acknowledge
ments:
The business men have vim and
energy. They work in harmony and
the result is prosperity. In short, we
do not believe there is another town in
the State, that is making the rapid
strides in the direction of progress
that Greenville is.-Jackson Advance.
Greenyille did her best-angels can
do no morel She eclipsed all other
places in grand and sincere entertain
ment, and if there is cake in the bak-
cry worthy of her, she can take it
take the bakery itself, if she desires.
-Durant Democrat.
Greenyille is situated right on the
bank Of the Mississippi river with a
population OF eight thousand. She has
thriving trade and is surrounded by
lands that are as fine as the sun ever
shone upon. Greenville grows every
day, both in wealth and population,
and we predict for her great future.
Oxford Globe.
AT little after SIX p. m, we came
in sight of the rising queen of cities in
the State, Greenville, whose growth
has been as rapid and marvellous as
that of any other in the Union. Prop
erty in the corporate limits, especially
near the business portion, bring fabu-
lous prices, as is evidenced by the sale
of lot May ., which was situated on
corner, for over nineteen thousand
dollars.-Lexington Advertiser.
The above is not half that might be
said about this thriving city but space
forbids going into details. When we
look back over the time spent at the
@queen city, thoughts of grand enter
prises and her bright future afford US
pleasure, but more pleasing to us than
all these is the rememberance OF the
open hearted hospitality extended to
the press on that occasion.-Byhalia
Journal.
We will say something more about
what we saw in the beautiful city OF
G reenyille in our next issue, and as
post script we want to say right here
| that we saw above all other things a
city full of enterprising and generous
people. 1t is the livest town in the
State, and the reason of it is that the
energetic people won't let a drone live
there. Other cities and towns should
take lessons ofit.-Centreville Sentinel
Greenvillc is a lovely city Of about
10000 inhabitants, situated in the
Delta, and is rapidly growing in popu
lation, industrial and commercial devel
opment, and we believe, in less than
five years will number population o
10000. It has wide-awake, progres
s,ye people and two of the best paper
published in the State. The Editoria
party declare unanimously that ther
is no place like Greenville and n
people like the Greenvillians.-Canto
