He spent much time in trying to find a druggist to iill the. prescription. Formerly, so far as we could see, this was an easy matter at any time :.n Conway. Since the putting on of the lid regarding the ordinance prohibiting sales on Sunday, it has appeared hard to obtain necessary things on Sunday, although the law would apparently exempt these from the penalty. There should' bo at least one drug store open in Conway throughout the day on Sunday. In Kinston, N. C., we are told that one of the five drug stores remains open all day on Sunday, and they take it by turns; and Jar. each drug store that is closed there appears a notice directing those who may need medicines to the particular store that is open that day. o HOUR KODAK FINISHING i iL All rolls developed 10c; packs 20c up; prints 2 l-2c-4c-5c; enlarging' 25c up.

It is told that on one of the beds a sheet had been taken off and a quilt placed there instead, and this sheet could not be found about the house. S Another thing missing is the thick fur coat which was rather heavy for a woman of Mrs. Newton's size. She is said to have worn this cloak away when she went. ? o .n.iiaiv FIRST TO LAND. f f , b >.i;: v Among the first soldiers to hind back on home soil from service over s< as taking train last week at Charleston for Camp Jackson were: 1 Messrs.

Vaught. She had f been of failing mentality for some > time. I ? o??????? \ CONWAY IS AHEAD. 1 > A prominent man said the other * day that Conway is ahead of other small size towns in the counties ol 1 the eastern part of the State. He ( mentioned some others who claim more population than Conway, and ' aid that Conway had better pi'.bhe 1 1 uildings and more conveniences foe : the public when they came to town i: than these other towns had. He also J' suited that Conway had things here I1 which would do credit- to towns of throe or four times her size. This is the talk that Conway business men should be glad to hear. o BOUGHT LARGE FARM. A. P. Johnson closed a deal with Hon. K. B. Scarborough last Saturday whereby the former becomes the owner of what is called the Scarborough farm, about three miles from Conway on the Georgetown road, and which contains about 850 acres, with about 275 acres cleared and in cultivation. It is one of the finest places in the county and the pr;ce paid was thirty-two thousand dollars.

MYSTERY DEEPENS AS TINE GOES ON . a(> /> Speculations Are Rife Concerning Different Phases of Disappearance ?-0 SONFLlCfWe ;^tORIES GOING THE ROUNDS 4 - * *>' 'jJ : ; Hrcct News Yesterday Gave no Hint of Any Solution of Questions. Yesterday there was still nothing1 o throw light on the whereabouts of 4ary Newton, who disappeared from tome on March 24th. Stories of difevent kinds were still going the ounds hut these when traced out noved to be without foundation so ar as verification is concerned, /arying views are being expressed >y the people of the community as to \hy she went away and why she did 1(1* vnJ"""" U ivuuii, mic nonoay comes forward with any facts of a definite nature to prove their theories as true. There seems to be a question as to whether the woman was able to wani< r very far away. There are conflicting stories and different opinion lb out this. One man who lived noa the v'ace a number of years and dill knows the people intimately says that it was well known that she could not walk farther than the residence of her son-in-law in sight of her home without having* to stop and rost; that she was afflicted with a kind of asthma ami that exertion usually brought on an attack or provi ntccl exercise at least except to a small amount with periods of rest. On the other hand a daughter of the v :ssing woman says that her mother had appeared at times to get wrong in the head and had a disposition at such times to wander about in the woods if she happened to go there and she tells of more than one occasion when she had to load her mother back to the house out of the woods. There is a general agreement among the people who knew her that she was a irood ovmnnlo r?e o foUi.< ..! ul II U< wife and loving mother, kind to everybody and always ready to help where there was need. SUNDAY SEARCHERS YET WITHOUT CLUE The men of Sooastcc township went out last Sunday morning in an. organized effort to find Mrs. Mary Nov. ton, the wife of Chas. ,B. Newton, missing since Sunday, one week hot ore. Going afoot and on horseback, they began toward the seashore and x< arched back all of the woods between the seashore and the residence of the Newtons. This had no result. The search was kept up practically all day until in the late afternoon the case was given up as hopelessi An entire week had passed away and yet no tiding of the woman who *s -.aid td have walked out of her home to go and call the grand son, and in plain and open daylight disappeared from the face of the earth as completely as if she had been swallowed up by the earth without a minute's warning. $125 A' MONTH Young Men, Young Women If you have completed eighth grade or its equivalent, mail following to-day: "JRAUGHON'S COLLEGE, Atlanta, Ga., H.?: Without obligating me, semt> FREE look on Bookkeeping and Shorthand, riving NEW, EASY METHOD for raining me, at my home, within few veeks, for guaranteed position, as Kiokkeeper or stenographer, at $65 o $125 a month, and tell me why usiness men prefer to employ ;< ) laughon graduate.
