GETTING BUSINESS STARTED.

Some evenings ago good piece OF
work started on Greenville Street
when Col. C. E. Williamson invited
| in a few friends to take care of a
possum and accessories which he had
gathered in. He not only enabled a
few lords of creation, little worse
for wear, to spend an enjoyable eve
ming, but he seems to have set in
motion a train of events which give
promise of other good things.
We say so for the reason that we
heard two threats uttered yesterday.
Col. Bill Wilson, who is always a
prominent man whether on Green
vile Street or elsewhere, asked US
about the price of turkeys. When we
told him that we had not been able
even to ask the price the present fall
he swore a mighty oath, declaring
along with it that "I am going to
have one of them, I don't care what
it costs, and l am going to eat it
too"
We were still wondering just the
date the threat would be succeeded
by the act when Col. T. G. White, a
mighty man amongst mighty men,
came along and said, with business
in his voice too, eff it keeps getting
cold 1 am going to kill a possum one
of these nights"
Well, Kerr's sale, the society event
of Greenville street this week, will
be over Saturday night. Then any
gentleman who seems so inclined can
shoot.
