We noticed 81 clipping from the KerShnO Ca
zeut in the last issue of the Press and Banner
in which that paper recommends tc the care
full conside ration of the people OF Green
wood. The extract is to the effect that town
whose sites and advantages are excellent but
not let out their capital in enterprises. on the
other hand place is selected which has not
the advantages alluded 10 in the former but
whose inhabitants are people OF enterprise,
push energy and pTSc sprbt to The sX
for the next five years and you will readily on
to the secret ofItown building" We would
like TO inform the Press and Banner that this
wood. The advice Is sound but unreasonable.
The citizens Of Greenwood have long ago
walked up to the virtues of enterprise and push
and is now numbering itself with the Attain
tas and Blrminghams.
In the last four or five years Greenwood has
risen from an unpretending country village
TO a place OF note, wealth, prominence and
enterprise, and from her late efforts we think
the PTess and Banner can easily distinguish
which Of the above class Greenwood belongs
TO. We think there are places nearer home
which this good advice OF the Press and Ban
npr would be of more benefit TO than Green
wood. PEMBROKE.
