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. “This
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been replaced by a handsome building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

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
Greenville’s march of progress, you
just can’t hold the old town back.
