Ill* Little, who is now head of
our municipal government, was born
in Tennessee and moved to Conway
in 1000. He sprang from pious parentage,
his father bointf tho Kev
.1 K Little, a prominent and devout
man of CJod.
Mr Little is what is generally
known as a self made man. Some
time in HUM) he came to Conway
and near about, (if not the first,)
work he did was the erection of the
building, under contract, now occupied
by the Spivey Mercantile Co.
Since then he lias been a successful
contractor and builder and it was
under his workmanship that nearly
every brick building in the city, and
many frame structures were erected.
In his business relations he has been
remarkably successful and is connected
with several successful industrial
enterprises, lie is the sole proprietor
of the brick yard and the Con
way Novelty Works, l>oth of which
art* valuable properties and by his
wise and judicious management
have become to be important factors |
in the. development of the industrial
interests of the city and county.
Mr Littlo is energetic, progressive
and has always taken a leading and
prominent part in all things tending
Lo the upbuilding of the place and
the improvement of the moral and
linaucial well being of the people.
He has acceptably served as an alierinan
and during his encumbency
many improvements to the streets
ind pavements were made and from
Lhis begilining we can trace the improvements
which has marked the
growth of our little town and made
l as progressive as it is today.
Lie has the courage of his convictions
and is firm and positive in dong
what he conceives to be his
luty and it is safe to say that he
will uphold the majesty of tho law
ind maintain the peace and dignity
>f the city.
We have his word for it that he
will use all the authority with which
:ie is clothed to continue tho work
)f civic improvement which has
peon so vigorously prosecnted durng
the administration of Mayor
Smith. In fact we believe that it
s the purpose of Mr Little to make
lis administration a record breaking
mo along the line of progress and
levelopmenl the likb of which has
never been witnessed hero before
.
Tho city is indeed to be congratuated
on tho elevation of Mr Little
to the Mayorality who, together
with his council will see to it that
the wheels of progress avo not clogged

l:or Hotter Fire Protection.
Conway needs oetter firo protection.
As it is now one half of
1 the town could burn up before the
other half would tind it out. There
should at least be a ni^ht watchman
so that in case of fire an
alarm could be ipven and the bucket
brigade called out. In the absence
of water works there should
be wells similar to those at the
city liali and the Commercial hotel
located in every section of the
city. A supply of hose should be
purchased and the members of the
lire company should be called out
for practice at least once a week.
An ordinance should be enacted requiring
every owner of reality who
has dwellings to rent to furnish a
ladder sufficient to reach the top
of the building and making the rector
responsible for the safe keeping
ofthcsanio. Some may say that
we are necessarily alarming ourselves
over this matter, but then it
should be remembered that fire is
liablo to break out at any moment
at a place least expected and without
adequate means to fight it,
there is no telling where it will
stop and how much property will he
destroyed before it is cheeked. Then
it will he too late "to lock the stable
door after the horse is gone."
The progressiveness of Conway demands
better protection against
tire and it is the duty of not only
'?<< city fathers hut every citizen,
whether own r of reality or not, to
interest themselves in an effort for
the putting in (if a water works system
and the encouragement of a
lire company.
