Interest grew in the 1019 chautaum qua here last week when the large tent arrived on Wednesday and the work of putting it up began on the vacant lot of Col. D. A.

The protracted meetings continue 1 J ; through last week at the Conway ( ; Baptist church with large attend- j ances at the sei*viccs. Much good is j being accomplished by these meet- ? iiigs and will no doubt result in great accessions to the church membership. We often hear a question asked j about the price of leaf tobacco thisl season. No one knows positively! about the price of tobacco, of course, j ibul it is the general opinion that the I i prive should be higher than before j | the war. As everything else is high,l j they see no reason why tobacco! should not he high. Country merchants, farmers J pieachers and all others are invited;, to send their orders by mail to the I lorry Herald when they need bill heads, letter heads, envelopes, pro announcements or printing | of any other kind, class or quality, i Plenty of stock and good workman- ' ship ready all the time. ' ,A good hard road is needed J through Dog Bluff or Bucks township 5 making a straight shoot for Brit- ^ ton's Neck, and a good bridge across ' the Little Pee Dec River. This would make things much easier for many people who live over there and they would all use a good road J1 and a good bridge and bring their 1 business and trade to Conway.
