GENERAL IMPROyEMENT.

GENERAL IMPROVEMENT.
This section has been blessed with
the finest crops for years. There is
an abundance Of fruit of every kind.
People are beginning to think more
about how they have been favored by
the bountifLl laws of Providence. In
the city, the Hotel Phenix has been
ment and it's prospects are the
brightest. The new Telephone
Company has erected a mag
niflcent plant and is connecting US
with the other towns and cities of the
State. The streets have been cleaned
and improved, nearly FIVE miles of ad-
ditional water pipe has been laid and
quarter Of million bricks have
been laid in the reservoir. The Tise
furniture factory has been leased to
an enterprising firm, who will push
the business and make fine furniture.
SmOak & McCrary are building large
addition to their livery stable and the
shirt factory is now assured. Does
this surprise you? Look for mo-
ment at the

There are more if we could think of
| them. In fact there are several that
| we do think of, and We'll say some
| thing about them when they "break
| dirt"
| CHURCHES.
| This is a city of churches. The
Lutherans have just finished place
| of worship of which they may well be
proud. The Baptists have built a
| chapel in North Winston. The Salem
| Home Church has been repaired and
| improved, and the Moravians are
erecting handsome edifce in West
Salem, to be known as Christs Chap
ell. Besides this we may expect fine
brick church to be built by one Of the
colOred congregations at once.

| been repaired and put in excellent
condition, and the attendance is lar
Dayis School and Salem Boys school

than there have been in three years
and Sam Jones is coming.
