LEr's! TAKE A LOOK,
And See What Greenville is Doing.
On the 16th of Febriary Greenville
had a big fire. In that fire twenty-|
odd buildings were destroyed, four-
teen of them being brick storés. oThis
fire was a heavy loss to the town aud
for awhile-made things look gloomy in-
| deed, some few people being even ready
to say that the town was ruined and
would never rebuild.
The smoke of the fire had hardly
cleared away before plans were ow foot
for some new buildings. It has now
and im this time one brick store has
been completed and is occupied, three
others are so near completed that they
will be ready for the occupants in about
two. weeks, five others have the walls
up to the heiyht of second floor, the
foundations for three others have been
laid, and brick are being placed on the
site for one other. Count this over
now and you will find thirteen brick,
stores, only one less than the town lost
in the fire. Let it be noted also that
every one of these new buildings © is
much better, more substantial and
handsomer. than the old ones they take
the place of.
The frame offices of Dr. Bagwell
and Messrs Blount & Fleming has
been replaced by a handsome building
that is a deciaed improvement over. the
old one. This will also be ready for
use in a few weeks more. "
- And these stores and offices now in
~Progvessare-not to be the end of build-

There are still. other movements oon
foot that mean good things for ~the
town. The Reriector has. already
heard it as coming from @ man who
owns splendid building lots that he. ix}
ogoing to surprise the people yet,�')
plans be made public.
So much for what is going on in
the portion of the town that was swept
by fire. But improvements do not stop
here,. Almost every portion of the
town is going ahead and showing ad-
vancement. There is no stopping

A Cab Runs Over Him and Betrays an
Ingenious Device. ..._° «4
Near one of the gates leading into
Paris an old man of stout proportions
was seen one day wending his way,
when a cab, driven at great speed, ap-
proached, and as the man paid no atten-
tion to, the warning cry of the Jehu, he
~passed. over his. body, to the consterna-
tion, of the spectators.
The hero of this misadventure, who had
only been slightly stunned by the shock,
| 800n Tose to his feet, with profuse
passion which his accident bad elicited,
and then, disregarding further offers of
assistance, began to shuffle off as fast
as his legs would carry him.
One of the eyewitnesses of this cu-
rious scene went up to an employe of
the, octroi and gave,an account of the
episode, upon, which the official, run-
ning, after. the vietim of the accident,
extende a. to him a ~polite | invitation to
rest in his office.

great anxiety to take himself off.

~plows; obut I want to have a little talk
with you; all the same:� ~
Some gentle force was required to in-
fice, but once there he was made to un-
dress, when he was found to, be almost
a skeleton, .The mystery was soon ex-
plained. He had between his waistcoat
and his shirt a skin receptacle which
was capable of containing from »six to
seven liters of liquid: oOa this particu-
