GRANVILLE CARTER BOOK
STORE.

The colored population OF
Greenville are iuftly proud Of
Granville Carter as II representa-
tive Of the best type Of their race.
His long and prosperous career
in business in Greenyille, together
with the esteem in which he is
he id by all Us people, is crafty
ing tribute to his worth, and a
refutation of the prevalent idea
that racial preiudices can mar the
success Of an intelligent and
worthy man. The book store of
Granville Carter, advantageously
located on the most desirable part
of Washington Avenue, keeps on
hand a full supply of books either
for school or library use, and is a
depot for news and periodicals of
all descriptions. 1t has been an

years, and receives liberal and
well deserved patronage from
citizens of all classes.

wines, cigars, cigarettes and to-
bacco is also carried. They are
fully prepared to supply the whole
sale and jobbing trade, keeping on
hand full supply Of foreign and
American wines, liquors, WHISTLES,
ale porter and beer, and also the
choicest brands of smoking and
chewing tobacco, cigars and cigar
cites. Famous brands of Ken
lucky whiskies are always kept in
stock, and the object of the pro-
prietors is not only to supply the
country trade and orders from ad-
jacent towns, but to keep on hand
such liquors as are demanded by

the retail department of this and
other tirst-class liquor saloons in
the city.

by the success with which they
withstood the severe strain to
which they were subjected during
the recent years of national tinan-
cial trial, and are wisely managed
and ably conducted The volume
Of business transacted yearly by
them is so large as to be astcnish-

SOL BRILL CLOTHIER.

Away back in the infancy of the
city, before electric lights, brick
sidewalks and water works were
dreamed of as future possibilities,
there came TO Greenville two
brothers, young men and strangers,
who, in a modest way, offered for
sale small stock of men clothing
in enc OF the little wooden dry
goods box store houses that were
then the rule in the village. EIec-
trio lights and water works seemed
impOssibilities then, and it appear
cd just as impossible that Brill's
store would ever be the great
brick CITY ike establishment il
now is; but these things have
come to pass. After few years
of successful business and inn
proyement, the brothers dissolved
partnership, and Sol Brill took
exclusive charge. Since that time

the excellence, variety and choice

the Inn hes become favorite rest

WHEATLEY & GWIN lNSUR-
ANCE.

The gentlemen at the head of
this reliable and widely patronized
insurance agency stand so high in
public regard that it would be
superfuous to attempt to add to
its celebrity by personal notices of
its directors. And yet, in the
business of insurance, the personal
character and standing of its con-
ductors is of the first Importance.
Messrs. George Wheatley and
Lucian Gwin are among the best
known and prominent young bust
ness men in GreenvilIe and the
Delta, and their standing and re-
putation in the community is of
the highest. The companies they
represent are the best and most
reliable, and the wide extent of tho
business done by them is suffi-

confidence in the highest degree.
