The house will be built of Winnsboro granite and red-faced brick, and will be covered with metal roof. The stone masons in full force are now at work upon the walls and satisfactory progress is being made. The building will be used as a dormitory for girls and will increase the capacity for accommodation of children .by-the number of twenty-five. Upon the completion of this building the population at Connie Maxwell Orphanage will reach the number of 400. Information is given out by the orphanage authorities, to the effect that even this increase in capacity will by no means meet the situation. The demands for admission of children have for some time past been overwhelming. Notwithstanding the general prosperity of the times the numhgr of applicant** appears not to have been reduced. The new house is expected to cost I about $25,000. It will be situated near | me ssauiain Home end will be but e abort distance across the City line from the town limita of Greenwtood. Ttu contractors are hoping to have the walls pretty well up by the time the trustees come for annual meeting in May. The growth of Connie Maxwell Orphanage has been steady and constant, and the citizens of Greenwood rejoice in its erer enlarging prosperity and success. Prmti far Sayrau Court.
