B. Dantone has let the contract for a nice cottage to be erected on Howard Street, just north of the Baptist Church. The house will be occupied by Rev. Mr. Lipsey and family when completed.

Moving Houses from the U. S. Government Lots

B. Dantone is having his two residences removed from the lots he recently sold to the U. S. Government for the Greenwood post office site on Howard Street. He received instructions from the Government officials to remove the houses, which would indicate that work on the erection of the post office building will begin sooner than has been expected.

Work on New Post Office Building Soon

The wheels of the Government revolve slowly, but they are sure, and the Enterprise carries this week advertisement for bids for building the new post office on the old Dantone lot. The Government purchased this site several years ago and the appropriation was made for the building, but the Government is never in a hurry and nothing further has been done. In passing this lot just the other day, one of our businesses inquired what was the status of the post office building and the next morning we received the copy for the advertisement for the building. We hope that bids on the building will be satisfactory to the Government and that work on the building will soon be under headway. A handsome Federal building would be fine on this lot and Greenwood is a big enough City for a handsome Federal building. It would seem a little odd to go down on Howard Street for the mail, but we are willing to make the change for the sake of the building.
