'I GETTING BUSINESS STARTED. ] Some evenings ago a 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, a little worse for wear, to spend an enjoyable evening, but he seems to have set in | motion a train of events which give' promise of other good things. We say so for tne reason that we k heard two threats uttered yesterday. Col. Bill Wilson, who is always a prominent man whether on Greenville Street or elsewhere, asked us t about the price of turkeys. When we frtold him that we had not been able J even to ask the price the present fall Ihe swore a migrhty oat"h, declaring. along with it that "I am going to! ihave one of them, I don't care what, jit costs, and I am going to eat it. .jt00-" _ ^ ,j We were still wondering just* the , date the threat would be succeeded ,|by the act when Col. T. G. White, a t mighty man amongst mighty men, , came along and said, with business in his voice too, "If it keeps getting cold I am going to kill a possum one . of these nights." 1 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. STONE MOUNTAIN STATUE ( Birmingham, Ala.
