The building activity which is on
in full blast here in Florence is not
confined to the city alone but is be
ing vigorously pushed throughout
the county. A trip through the coun

ing boom is on in every section. Now
farm houses are going up in every
ditection end the houses being built
are of above the average farm house.
The bungalow type seems a favorlto
with the connlry folks and there are
many .mighty pretty types .being
creeled. In addition to the new
homer, much repair work is being
done. Farmers are having their fenc
es repaired and many new ones built.
The eourjitr.v seems to be taking ad
vantage of the wave of prosperity
