We took a look through the pala
tial residence of r. M. Wilson on yes
terday. The inner arrangement o
rooms renders it certainly superior t
any house In the place. The work o
Mr.. Thomas Mckenzie tells for itself

have only few superiors. The fresc
work done by Mr.. Bachman is as fin
in finish as any we ever saw
AS Eli Kahler was passing over tn
lower railroad bridge at Greenvill
on his way to the depot to take tn
afternoon train home on Saturda,
last, and when about half way across
an engine and car came along at
rapid rate No other way was ope
for escape, so he dropped dow
through the the ties and held on b.
his hands, suspended in mid air, til
the train had passed. 1t was rather
close shave.
