THE NEW BUILDINGS
Proireis Being Made, and Still New
One* Mentioned.
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

New School Building at Tabor.
Lf. P. Little has the contract for
be erection of a new brick school

act been furnished with the exact
specifications, but the building will
be modern in every respect and will
cost in the neighborhood of eleven
thousand dollars. The new school

The growth of the Church has beer

Burning Building,?Nearby Houses
Saved. ^
The home of Mr and Mrs. J. W. ff
Cook, situate near Bsaty Street, in g
the residence section of Conway, ^
was totally destroyed by fire on c]
Wednesday night of laft week. The
household and kitchen furniture,, el
with one or two exceptions, was la
saved from the fUmes by the help of ^
neighbors and friends who ran to ^
the place as soon as the alarm of t
Are was given. It is stated that the S
house was insured, but the amount ^
was not related.
The fire was of accidental origin, a
and evidently caught around the w
Hue on the inside of the house, a
Mrs. Cook had been rick on that day tl
and had been in bed mott of the day. s
Persons living nearby saw the fire X
or the light of it, about (.) o'clock, j
As it was in a different portion of x
the house from Mrs. Cook's room, pj
she did not know the house was on q
fire until two negro women rushed g
in from across the street with buckets
of water. The alarm of fire was g
given and the fire company hastened g
to get the fire engine and the hose.
The nearest house to the Cook res- sl
idence is that of O C. Davis. It *lt]
was apparent that this would burn,
but the fire company got there just
in time to save it. If it had not
been for the quick and efficient efforts
of the fire company, nearly an
entire block would have been wiped ^
out- - TT
About the ticro that the fire en- n
gine got the fire under good control
it began to rain and this lasted for
about an hour. ^
Mr. J. W. Cook, the owner of the
destroyed dwelling, is now engaged al
in business at Aynor, and was away *
when the house was burned. *r
