Swardalb, offering thi? fint clui Hotel Property for Sale or Lease, most attract attention. It is j the best bote! anywhere in the up-country of 8oeth Carolina, and its loeation in Greenville, now the third tewn of the State in popnlatien and business, with prospects of greater pro as parity, insures ita permanent value. The Air-Line Railroad will soon reach this place, whieh must give a great impulse to its growth. Greenville has always been a favorite resort for travelers and visitors at all seasons?espe. dally in the summer. The elimate for health and pleasantness, is not surpassed by any In the United States; and the schools and colleges in the place, sake it a most desirable place for families. But its business and trade continually on the increase, makes the plaoo peculiarly fitted for a profitable Hotel. Amessg other advantages ot a hotel here, the annual long sessions of the United States Courts, is no inconsiderable item. Any judicious, ens terprising man would do well to invest in the Mansion House. The suooess of Mr. Swabsals in accumulating a handsome fbrtane in it, is the best recomaaandation. He only retires for reasens disconnected with the pro* prietesship of the house. GreenriHe would welcome a new comer in the Mansion House of the right business capacity, whether, from the North, Soath, East or West. All desire a first-class hotel kept np in our City.
