IS a feeble little critter and "Sister
Nays" devotion to her is the pur
tiest site I ever seen.
Well, my friend shore did give me
a fine time. She tuck me mitey nj awl
over Greenvillc on the street kyars.
I've rid on them things beforc-scv-
cril yccrs ago when | was in Shar-
lot-but [ don't reckin I'll ever see
the time that I can ride on 'em with
out feelin kinder curis.
jest to see them things go a ,arrin
up and down the streets without Il
sine OF Il horse hitchcd to 'cm is cnulf
to make the crceps crall up and down
pnrslns spincl collum, and TO be ON
won when it 5 doin it, is somcthiu
else. ! don't like to show my i.ncr-
ancc in cr"us. and ! woulin / LET
on t" "" Sister May' that was ,krrr.
rd within an inch Of my life, but
secretly clun% to my sect with Il lcth
grip, and tridc to summon cool, cam,
and indifferent expression to my
colntcnancc.
Won time | thought fur shore we
was Il goin to glory, or to the other
place 'cordln to our deservin. fur I
seen Il thing comm like litnin down
the street Il meetin us, and a snoriin
defiance rite in The face of our kvar.
And, law sakcs! it was rid By fore
purity gals with their hare a flvia in
the air. and they didn't pear lo be
Sk"crcd mite. | shore though, lhrv
was %oln to run rite square intn rs.
but jest is [ give Il scrccch Of horror
and diSmay. the thin" skootcd rite
out to won side and we was awl safe.
Soon rs ! rud Spcck L axcd "Sis-
ter May' what that thing was and
she scd il waS II ortcrbeamuIc. T

Stiddy Of dare devil kind of Il crit.

tuck them gals rite into the jaws Of
deth like that thing did. No, sir! no
a little about mules and I haint new
cr seen won yet that wood rushed
rite up on Il street kyar frunt end
foremiSt.
Well, visited lots of intcrcstin
places in Grcenvillr, and will fry and
fell sumthin about sum of 'em.
Rrr'lv River Falls is il purity place
and Is among the grandcst of Matters
wild scenery. 1t ain't more N five min
its wawk from the bizziest section of
the city. 1t was here that in l77G,
Richard Paris bilt his historic mill;
but romanse has bin swept aside by
modern progress, fur here air now To-
Gated the Ccmperdown Cotton Mills.
The old mill I reckin it is Parises)
is still standin, its CRATE warter
wheel idle and lookin like Il seminal
at a post of duty.
Sitiwatcd on the West McBce ave
new, in a purity grove of native oke
trees, stands the First Baptist church
ii stately house of warship with
CRATE massive collums and tall Steeple.
1t can set down 1900 people and has
got the finest pipe origin in awl S. c.
The church was established in No
vembcr, 1881, with len members.
Then there's the Grccnvillc Female
College, Baptist institution. IT was
founded in 1919, but never cot its
present name till the yecr 1915. 1t is
on College street; the grounds air
large and roomy and the bildin is
commodiouS, stately and imposin. It's
dormytary will 'commcrdate 300 pu-
pills, and the big auditorium has got
won of the sweetest soundin pipe or
gins in that part of the country.
| believe that upper Name street is
the purtiest residence section that
seen. On this street is the CRATE
moneyment, erected to the mcmery Of
them that lost their lives in the civil
war. Two CRATE big cannons gard this
sacred spot.
The Suthern R. r. Depo is a mitey
big hansum bildin in kecpin with the
stilc and progress Of that hustlin city.
1t is complete in awl its dcrange-
mentS fur the cumfert and convent
ence of the travclin publick. 1t shore
is a whopper.
| went awl over the Cotton Mill Of
the w. f.. Poe Mfg. Co., won of the
biggest and finest cotton mills in tho
south and is fit up from top to bot
tom with aWl the latnSt imnr0yni ma-
