A PEEP AT WINSTON.
AS visitor to Winston sees the city
at first sight it is a pleasant one. In the
centre of beautiful square in the heart
of the city stands the imposing new
court house, the handsomest in the State.
The lawn about it is well kept and every
thing is neat and clean. Facing the court
house on all four streets are handsome
business houses, with shelves loaded with
attractive merchandise. On one corner
stands the handsome city hall, with a
CLOCK in the towner, whose bell peals the
hours. From each corner lead streets
taking one to other business houses and
to the homes of the city, while around
the entire square runs the tracks of the
electric street railway. Banks, drug
stores, music houses, postoffice, express
companies are all close at hand, and as a
busy people move about the streets the
scene is an inspiring one telling OF the
progressive business life of the city. AS
the afternoon comes on and pleasure We
hicles dash here and there, with ladies and
children passing up and down the streets,
the scene has an added beauty which tells
one that Winston is happy home for
those who dwell within it's limits.
