Greenvillc real estate on West, John
and Main Streets, is remarkably &c
tive. Some little fortunes have al
ready been realized in the sudden
rise. Every day something is expect
ed to happen. This is due in great
measure to the steady growth of
manufacturing enterprises of per
mancnt nature. There is steady
growth i'll the population. Many
people are going thithcr on account
of the superior advantages offered by
the city public schools. The more
that goes the better the room will be
for others. With the water-works
completed, the city will have nothing
to do but grow in wealth and popu-
lation. 1t will soon catch up with
the Greenville News, then this enter
journal will take another
step forward.

The Di.contcntcd Worker.

The discontcntcd who pines for
wealth without being willing to labor
for it regards the idlenoss in which
it would enable him to live as the &c.
me of temporal happiness. He has
no idea, of money as q great motive
power to be applied in enterprises
that give hcalthful employment to
mind and body. All that he desires
is to live n fcathcr-bo lifc-to 'loaf'
luxuriously. People who indulge in
such scnsuous longings do not know
how much more glorious it is to tear
atllucncc from opposing fate by main
strength of will and inhcxibilay of
purpose than to receive it us windfall.
There is infinitely more satisfaction
in conquering fortune with brain
and muscle than was ever expert
enccd in obtaining or dissipating the
golden store that some thriflier hand
had accumulated.
