Mr. and Mrs. Louis Samuels arrived
here on Wednesday from New York,
where they have bcen for:severai days
on bridal tour. Mrs. Samuels shall
be welcome. to q home in Winnsboro
by the many friends of her husband.
STILL Winnsboro is thought
by some chronic abuscrs to be slow
and non-progrcssivc, and it will prob
ably oren their eyes when we make
tic statement that there have been
within the last five years, together
with those now contracted for, twen-
ty-opc new residences built within the
corporate limits Of the town. During
that period of'timc the places Of busi-
Hess have steadily increased, and it
would be safe to say that when new
ones arc completed now under con-
tract, there will then have been an in
crease in number Of from seven TO ten
stores. This is in place of only tif-
teen hundred inhabitants. These are
figures, mot astounding, its true, but
sufficient evidence, oil the same, that
the old place is not deaduet.
