The F.ew buildings now going up in Conway are maknig good prograss, and the only thing that has stayed the work so far as we can tell, were the few days of rain recently. The walls of the two new stores for Burroughs & Collins Co., have been finished, and they were ready for the roofing several days ago. Some days ago the filling of earth was being placed In and leveled down making ready for the cement floor'). The new drug store of the Nortoa Drug Co., U being^ rushed to completion rapidiy. The wails several davs sgo had almost reached the top story. The work on the new People's Tobacco Warehouse was delayed several days last week for lack of materials, nevertheless the work has been pushed with yigor and there is enough there to make it look very much like a building. It will be oue of the largest brick warehouses in the State. Judging from the talk that is going about the streets, the buildings now in course of erection will hardly bo finished before several more will be started. Among those mentioned is a new store on-3rd avenue which will be used for a wholesale grocery store. Not very far in the future the Farmers & Merchants Bank will begin the erection of a new back building on the prominent corner they purchased at public sale on the first Monday in this month. Strawberries Soon. The strawberry crop has been late in ripening owing to the cold weather. At this time last year a car load had been shipped from this point to the northern markets. One or two growers who were in town the first of this week stated that it would be about two week3 before many of the berries would be ripe It is s'.ated though that the crop though late will be abundant, and will last as long as usual once the picking season opens. ? . %? ? ^ Decided on Two Stories Sinfce the two new stores now being erected foo Burroughs & Collins Co.,i were started, the owners have decyfled t) run one of them two stcfies high. The stjre on the copier of the alley, which will be occupied by the new drug company, will be two stories in hoigfc^ andcorresponding with the other'^buildings of the company, ? l > l >|Wl New School Building at Tabor.
