The llerald has lime and again said u at ihe fuiureof Con way was roseate Wilh bright promises of devi lopmenl unci growth, soid its faith in that future neyer once grew dim in?f wavered. The possibilities are here in great numbers and it is only a question of lime, ana only a shoi t lime at that, wbeu our people as well as tho>,e from other places, would reahz * and appreciate the vaiious ways that Conway otters for iho investment of Capitol and labor, aud would seek to turn thoso opportunities into practical use by utilizing Ilium as vehicles for the improvement < f ex'sting conditions and as a means for the investment of capital, Wo are glad to inform the leaders of the il raid, that some of I tho seed at least sown by it, has fallen up m good ground, sprung up and is beginning to bear fruit. This is no visional y dream of an over sartquine imagination, but is au actual fact. iVJr, Hiram Raggett. a prominent and leading citizen of Lillingtuti, N C, has come to Conway several times in the recent few weeks to inspect the inviting fields of Conway study the situation, au.l the capabilities, of its possibilities for devolopeinent. The outcome of these v sit? culminated last week in the purchase Irorn the Burroughs & Collins Co., the Blunt Place of 25 acres in the fork of the Pawlty Swamp and the Potato lied Perry roads a mile or so from town. He has had the property surveyed and laid olT in lots, of convenient sizes. His investment was male with a view of building surburban residences to bo sold on easy terms to thoao who desire to own homes of their own that is pay a small portion of the cost down, and the balance in small monthly payments just as if paying rent and when the purchase money is paid the residence bt comes Ihe property of the reltor. Mr. Baggett has also closed a deal with Mr VY K Lewis whereby a number of town lots belonging to the latter will be shortly sold at public auction by the the Columbia Ueality and Auction Co. More fuller delai'.s of this sale will shortly be given in a advertisement in this paper. To a Herald reporter Mr, Baggett spoke en thusiastically of the great possibilities of Llorry and considers that, we have the most inviting tield for developnu nt of any place that he has visit?i. Our climate is unsurpassed, our ^oils are fertile, our health conditions are unrivalled and it. has been practically demonstrated that we will soon be, if not already fco, the garden spot for the growth and shipping of strawber rice, as well as being . especially adapted to the growth of all kinds of trucking. These things he talk Iced of calmly and dispssionately but in a sound business manner, which impressed one with his earnestness aiid soundness. Cool Spring. A II quiet here now.
