BUDDY SMITH had three ideas i
about his stockings?they were. }
full of feet, full of holes, and they i
could he full of presents. It was with
regard to the third idea that he was
paying attention to Uie second. Willing
to go barefoot under the circum- \
stances, he was tieing up the holes in j
his host stocking, with a view to the |
Christmas possibilities. His sister, j
Agnes, had already hung up a much .
longer stocking, with a note attached (
in which she informed all who might t
be concerned that this one was hers.
But Agnes, like the monkey that used 1 i
a rabbit for a muff and kept himself . i
warm by Hugging it. was a little sol- '
fish. Not only had she huug lip one of '
her mother's stockings, but she had got 5
an advantage over Buddy in the mat- 1
ter of the chocolate cake In the cup* 1
board, for there were holes all round
it the size of her little finger. j
So it was that on Christmas morn- ,
ing the shorter stocking had the most |

had just met some pleasant new
friends.
"Yes," he continued, "Christmas is a
good time for me. You see I'm popular
with wives. I get notes from hundreds
of them ; there are any number
who write to me. and when Christmas
comes I hey knit ties for me or buy a
handsome silk handkerchief or two, or
a fine rnufller?a little thought of me
at any rate. And I've never been in

"You must he a diplomat or luckier

"Neither," he answered. "I'm a milkman

riMES CHANGE
FOR CHILDREN
Boys and girls once did not have
he chances in this county that they
io\v enjoy.
Without good physical health,
i sound body, no child can get the
ight start in life that it snould ha\e
n proper learning and training.
Many is the instance when bright
)oys and girls have murdered out
heir young days scarcely able to
Irag out existence from day to day.
ind then found early graves on the
ullside. by reason of some stwill deect
in the functioning of their bodes
which could have been corrected
md the subiects restored to health
>f tbev had but understood what was
,ho matter with them.
In the hack woods of this countv,
n former vears, the light of the sun
tself could hardly penetrate, o*imr
:o the thick growth of timber an'1
3rush, let alone the newspaper and
school book from which the children
might better their condition in learning:
and happiness.
All that has been changed to a
a:reat extent, owing to the efforts of
>ur men and women who have grow"
up and determined that things shall
>e better for those who are coming on
to take our places.
In ^nrs gone by we never heard of
[i public health nurse, never a free
"lime, where boys and girls of schoo1
[ijfp. might be brought to the countv
seat and be examined bv trained me*'
Mirl women to see if there was any-]
the matter with them.
There are such things today and
wo nre extremely glad to record it.
On today, which is December 7th,
1022. there is in progress in Conway,
:i clinic. All the boys and girls of the
rounty are mado welcome to it. Th?
fnthers and mothers of t.ho boys ,md
girls have been made welcome. We
believe that they are taking advantage
of it.
Before this creneral fathering at
Conway, clinics were held in various
pMrts of the county. At the Loris
clinic recently about sixty bovs and
^rirls were present to be examined.
Among them w.as a few found to be
suffering from imperfections which
can and will be corrected.
This day and time is on<* of which
we might well be proud. It means a
better start for the bov or frirl who,
born poor and in lowly circnmstan
ce^. wants to rise beyond nnd above
environment and make of himself or
n roster servant for the
good of others.
Mav this pood work go on for all
ime to co?^e. Mav it never stop unfii
tbp .children of all rural districts
are brought to take advantage of
the verv same things that city bovs
and girls have been enjoying for
" ears and vears past.

CONWAY GROWS
DURING YEARS
\
There is a great difference in the
Conway of today and the Conway of
twenty years ago, December 7th,
1902.
At that time the only brick store
on the eastern side of Main Street
was the ~one in the Spivey Building.
That building had been completed by '
Col. D. A. Spivey one or two >enr; ;
before that. i
There was no Pastime Pheatro,
filling station on the corner of Mai
Street and 4th Avenue, but that 1<
cation was occupied by a woodo
store which w.as being rented out loi
purposes of a store on the ground
floor and living rooms on the .-second
floor. Later that bulldinir was I.urn
eel and it remained vacant until In lei
the property was sold as the estate
of t^e i,,fe Mrs. Jeremiah Smith, and
the buildings that are there now followed.
At that time the western side of
the main business block, on L/iurel
J Street was occupied by the residence
of Aunt Mollie Johnson, th$ old negro
woman, who finally sold to A. C.
Thompson the lot on which he after?

This good-looking, home-made tea

painted ftray. Circular figures on the
bottom make backgrounds for a number
of things, in gay colors, that look
like futurists' sun, moon and stars. At
any rate, the tray is a vivid and cheerful
affair that will be useful to the
housewife.

ed to B. G. Collins, at least from tli^H
old Johnson cabin down to tho corneal
of Laurel Street and 4th Avenue, aniH
for numy years it was occupied
the old wooden building in which To:^J

It was just before that year thuH
the whole southern part of the maii^|
business block was swept by fUurte^J

King had done business for years b<H
lore his deaih in Philadelphia,
being entirely of wood, and which ir^|
eluded the residence of Captain Jac^|
Oliver in one corner of the stiuar^B
about where the grocery store of
R Chestnut is now located. Ther^B
followed the building of all of tl^^|
brick stores which now extend all
way round the block.
There was bin one barber sho^|
not one garage, and only one wag<^|
repair shop. The hotel was oh ti
second story of the Bank of Conwn^J
building on the corner of
Street npd 4th Avenue, conducted
Mr. and Mrs. Coleman Causey. Th?^B
are now occupying the same store
the ground floor of the building, b^H
the hotel has long since passed in^J
other hands.

main street just as they do now.
