A Compliment to Conway.

Cities have their own well-defin- ed reputations, as well as individ- uals. Here is a case in point. A gentleman who lives over on the other side of the State writes us that he has heard that in Conway the laws generally are enforced, and that there is peace, quietness and good conduct here. He has never visited our city, and has been in the State but short while, but he has heard these things concern ing Conway. The point of his let ter is that he wants to know how we have brought in this good era, in order that his own little city may emulate our example.
 This is the kind of notoriety we are getting, and it is mighty good kind. It will bring good peo- pie to our city, and we ourselves will be the better for 1t. Such ad- vertising is decidedly compliment tary to Conway, and we all rejoice in it.-Conway Chimes.

WOULD PAVE FRONT STREET
Movement Inaugurated for That
 Purpose.
Pave Two Blocks of Conway's Prin- cipal Business Street.

A movement has been inaug- urated recently to pave Front street in this city. It is proposed by those favoring the project that the property fronting along two blocks of this street, which is Conway's principal business thoroughfare, be organized into an improvement district for the purpose of paving that part of the street from the Masonic hall south to Oak street with either asphalt or vitrihed brick.
 The improvement if carried out will be a splendid addition to the city. The street is very narrow, yet carries twice as much traffic as any other street, and while 1t already has good foundation of cobblestones it becomes very mud dy in bad weather. The idea seems to meet with favor with those who have discussed it, and it is not unlikely that petition ask ing for the organization of the dis trict will be presented at the next meeting of the council.
 The city has recently ordered five concrete crossings put in to take the place of the stepping stones now in use.
