PROPOSED TTBOND TOWN
i.
Some of the Progressive Citizens
of Conway Have Come Together
In an Kffort to Bond the Town to
Installs System of Sewerage, and
, Water Works---An Election to be
t,r Held.

the facilities for fighting fire in Conway
is totally inadequate to the
grave danger which threatens it.
It is true that some years ago the
town invested some seven hundred
dollars in a chemical engine and
about one hundred feet of hose. At
that time enthusiasm ran wild and
a volunteer fire department was
readily organized with Mr J M McKeithan
as Chief The town exempted
a certain number of young
men from street duty provided they
would become members of the fire
department and for a while everything
worked smoothly and the hope
was bright that Conway would soon
have the protection of a well trained
3 - .11 -3 t : _1 ! J

But interest soon died out and the
company soon practically disbanded.
At this time the water supply
was conspicious for its absence and (
not until the Smith regime was any
effort made to provide a sufficient (
water supply in case of fire. While ,
Mr Smith was Mayor he sunk two ,
fire wells?one at the Commercial |
Hotel corner and the other at city i
hall ?both of these wells are supplied (
from Artesian wells. <
The wisdom of this act was practically
demonstrated when Harmon's
store was burned, Both the
Bank of Conway building and the
Commercial Hotel were in imminent ^
Hflnwr and thftro is no ouestion
but what had the well not furnished a
sufficient amount of water both
these buildings would have been
destroyed with a great loss to their
owners. Had the Hank building
caught it was dollars to doughnut
that tha whole square would have
been razed. So that in this single
instance the engine and the well,
more than paid for themselves.
These wells, however. affoard no
protection whatever to the residential
section of the town, and that
seciion is today absolutely wilh out
any fire protection whatever and
should a fire occur in that section
many of our people would be burned
out of house and home.
Some of our more progressive
citizens, realizing the grave danger
which daily menace us haye taken
this matter in hand and are determined
to push it to a successful
completion.
The business men of the business
section of the town held a meeting
at the town hall last Thursday evening
for the purpose of devising some
plan to provide a supply of water
for pro'ection against fire. All of
m the property owners had been
notified of the meeting, but some of
them did not attend on account of
absence from the town. The meeting
was called to order and Mr F A
Burroughs was made chairman after
which there was some discussion by
different gentlemen present, The
following resolution was finally in
troduced and passed by the meeting, a
to-wit- Resolved that it is the sense
of this meeting that the town council
of the town of Conway submit to
the voters of the town at once the p
question of the issue of bonds to
such an amount as may be necessary
to provide water works for the town
for the purpose of protection against ?
fire and for sewerage purpose, so ^
far as may be possible Mayor H
P Little and some members of the ?
council were present at the meeting 0
and the resolution was delivered to ?
the Mayor to bo presented to the
councif. The election will no doubt J
be ordered and there is no reason 1
why it would not be carried in favor j '
of issuing the bonds. ,

Deafness Cannot be Cured
By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is
oaused by an inflamed condition of
f ko mn/inna 1 I n i n rr r\ f fkn ll'iiu honliiun
I'UU UIUWMQ IIUlll^ VI VI1V UUOH*VUlMU
Tube. Wheu this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed for ever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
mucous surface.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

Steamer Burned.
The "rjucy V." a steamer plying
between Georgetown and Bucksville
was burned down to the water line
last Friday night at the latter place.
Capt Sarvis was up at about midnight
and saw nothing of the fire at
that time. It was at 3 o'clock that
the captain and the crew were
awakened from sleep to find one
entire end of the steamer in flames
and already falling in. There was
ne time in which to save anything
from the flames which soon burnt
down to the water line.
The uLiUcy V." was engaged in
carrying the mail up and down the
riyer as well as general freight. No
explanation of the cause of the fire
has been made. It is a heavy loss
upon the owners who reside in
Georgetown, and who it is said
carried no insurance on the boat.
Died.
On the evening of April 30tli, 1910,
the death angel came and took fiom
J3 our darling little babe, Rollie
Sollins. He was spared to live with
as only nineteen months. On Frilay
afternoon about sunset I bathed
and put the darling littlo one to bed
about as well as usual, we thought,
aut a short while after we diseovired
that he had a burning fever.
A.11 was done that loving hands
iould do. but it was evident that
aothing but death could relievo the
jufTerings of the darling little one,
and on Saturday afternoon about
ive o'clock he sweetly fell asleep in
,he arms of Jesus. IIis illness was
>hort, but, oh! so painful!
Dear Little Rollie was only spared
iO us for only a short while, but, oh!
iow we loved him. By his loving
iisposition and sweet ways he won 1
iheilove of many who knew him.
He was buried the following day
at Hickory Grove cemetery. The
uneral services were conducted by
he Rev G W Chestnut in the presence
of many sorrowing relatives
md friends. Dear little Rollie, i
,hou art gone and left us, but we
enow that 'tis God that has bereft ,
is. Oh! it is so hard to give him
jp, but we know the Lord giveth
ind the Lord taketh away and we j
nust submit to his holy will.
While it pleased our heavenly ,
ather to call from earth away our
larling little one, may it be our
>ur purpose in life to instruct by
>recept and example our other lit,le
ones to so live that wo will all
neet Rollie an unbroken family
around the throne of God.

should Une Vote According
to His Judgment?
SOME PEOPUfTHINK NOT.
Sucb a Controversy has Been Run*
nlujr Through These Columns
for Sometime But as yet the Question
Seems as Unsettled as when
it First Bejgau.
Editor Herrld: With your kind
permission, I will say a few words
again in reply to Mr Dorman, and
as he has given rae some very time- j
ly hi its as to the making up of my
communications, it is with caution
that I proceed.
In my first article I stated that I
was not replying directly to Mr
Dorman, indeed I should have been
! for more believing that he was implicated
in the matter, but only
meant for the one or ones best fitted
to wear the saddle.
Mow, shall i judge tnot claiming
myself an important judge however)
from the action Mr Dorman
has taken in the matter that he was
at least partly fitted? I hope not.
As to my criminals would like to
ask, and who are my criminals?
Criminals?that is a sort of big
word and sounds so much like going
to court till I'd rather not say much
about it.
Quoting from Mr Dorman, we read:
"And perhaps it was my firm belief
in freedom of will that prompted me
under such unfavorable circumstances
to attempt a reply to those
who would make an effort to instill
into the minds of the people an idea
which we are very far from appreciating
the least bit."
Now, Mr Dorman, what were the
unfavorable circumstance under
which you were placed that made it
necessary for you to have such an
exceeding firm belief in freedom of
will before you attempted your reply?
And what was the idea at
which an attempt was made to instill
it into the minds of the people,
and that you were so far from appreciating?
In conclusion I will say that if Mr
Dorman will notice a little more
thoughtfully, what I have said, he
will readily see that I had no in-j
fontinn r?f r?nllinf: It i m n. emurt. A Imt
Why, Mr Dor man, assume the name?
Now, Mr Editor, I too, have tried ,
to avoid the use of any language
that might be detrimental to the
progress of your worthy paper. 1
Whether or not I have, possibly Mr
Dorman can answer.
Yours for the right,
Mc C. Holmes.

On the evening of December 13,
1909, the death angel visited the
home of iMr O A Chestnut and took
away his father, Mr D 11 Chestnut,
Sr. Aged 76 years, 5 months and
10 days. Grandpa you have gone
and left us, but you are not forgotten.
He leaves a wife and seven
children?tive sons and two daughters?live
brothers and many grandchildren
and great grandchildren
and a large circle of relatives and
friends to mourn his loss, hut wo
hope our loss is his eternal train.
He was a member of Bethlehem
and was a faithful and consistent
member as long as he lived and died
in the faith, He was a Confederate
veteran. He was in feeble health
for several years but never gave up
until about three months before his
death. All that loving hands and
willing hearts could do could not
stay the icy hand of death. All that
we can say is that U13 Lord gave
and the Lord taketh away.
I want to see you grand-pa, but
you are gone from us to uevor to return
but I hope we will meet you
in heaven where there are no tears
or sorrow.
Grandpa you have gone and left us,
But you are not forgotten,
Your trials on earth are ended,
And mine has just begun.

Shall bear us over the lea*
