We hear aid see so much about

that it may not be amiss tc

Next Sunday the welcoming doors
l^of the new Presbyterian house ol
'i: worship will t>e thrown wide, while
(the bell peals forth the grand oic
message: "Peace on earth, good will
towards men." This is a beautiful
edifice and the cost will approximate
| $13,000.
1 The new Baptist church, which is
nearly completed, while simple in
} style of architecture, yet, none the
less, is of an exceedingly pretty
i design and is very tastefully finishft
ed, with modern appointments, in
eluding electric lights, furnace heatBed,baths
and toilet. The cost of this

' index of a true spirit of progress,
and it is gratifying indeed to note
) that these sacred buildings, so long
I conspicuous by their insignificance,
now command attention by their
' beauty and the elegance of their
appointments.
Among other conspicuous imt
provements noted the past year is
the magnificent building at Main and
> Academy streets, erected by Mr W I
i Nexsen on the old vacant lot opposite
"Stackley'8 corner". This handsome
three-story brick structure
i would challenge admiration in any
? city or town anywhere. The build-!
> ing contains three stores on the
I ground floor, offices on the second
1 floor and the Masonic hal! on the
I upper story.
' In various parts of town there are
dwellings going up?the best sign in
i the world that a town is growing. I
II Mr Walter Dennis is about complet-'
i ing his cottage near the river at a j
' cost of $1,000. Messrs Jacobs & !
Scott have put up in the same vicin-1
ity six tenant houses at a cost of
about $800 each. Jas McCottry, col11
ored.is finishing a neat cottage near
the river at a cost of $900.

tain our standard as a conservative A
newspaper we would hardly dare to
print them all. We therefore elimi- a

immediate future we find the fol- A

a brick tobacco warehouse, 75x150 $

86,500. a
Mr L C Montgomery has let the ?

The Kingstree Dry Goods Co is $

at a cost of about $3,500. J1
Work on the new houses of Messrs n
E C Burgess in North Kingstree and H
P S Courtney in Nelson's Addition c<
is rapidly approaching completion. 0
As a harbinger of future prosperity
this looks well on paper; when ai
the materialization has been effect- f(
ea we expect and look forward to
a better and bigger Kingstree. Our
town is moving forward along every ft
line of industry, and we honestly bep|
lieve that the ensuing year for
Kingstree will be one of the best p<
and brightest in her annals. 01
