Out in the negro section of the sV
wn there is quite lot of building M
ping on, most are small residences 1t
I'd are being built by the colored

Taking into consideration that we I'M
e just at the end of summer, when xii
ings are always little slow, it of
ems there is no room for complaint ha
to Greenwood's building activities "r'
d it is predicted that the recent fa'
cline of about twenty five per cent pr
the price of lumber and the fact dir
at it is now easier to find enough cia
,rkmen to keep the jobs going, will ne'
eatly encourage prospective build ph
and the prospects are bright for g.
good building business this win -
