paper he has this to say of our pro
gressive city: Winston is not son /
boom, though there are 81 factories
humming away and two other larg
and handsome ones are on the Iva,
to completion. Winston is solid from
the ground up. The business me-
pay their bills and are clever an,
courteous. Winston is turning on
two ffrst-class weddings week an
more to follow. So says Mr.. II. 3
Reynolds, and he is in a position t
know. The graded school, one {
the best in the State, ishere tostay.
