WAVERLY GROWS
IN VERY SOLID WAY
Metropolis of Sussex County
Keeping Pace With Sister
Towns in Virginia.

Waverly. Va. May l7.-But few
towns in Virginia have made more
rapid progress within the past few
years than the town of Waverly. the
metropolis of Sussex County. located
on the Norfolk and Western Railroad,
about midway between Richmond and
Norfolk. The James River branch of
the Southern system also passes here,
and leads to Emporia and Claremont-
on-the- James
During the past five years it is con-
servatively estimated that $4,000
worth of new buildings have been
erected here every year. and, from
present indications, 1913 will prove no
exception to this rule, unless 1t shall
be to the favorable side of town adj
vancement. The town is already we'll
started OH its $4,000 worth OF build
ings for this year. and the class OF
buildings being erected are of the
most substantial character, being of
brick construction.
The most important structure that Is
now nearly completed is the new
hotel being erected to take the place
of the one burned last fall. This hotel
will cost $4,000, and will be build
Ing with modern equipment in every.
sense of the word, and probably the
best building in town of WaVerly's
size in the State. The hotel will have
cold water in each guest ROOM and a
number of rooms have been provided
with private baths. etc. The building
lis three stories high. and is being
erected by v. f.. Westbrook. and will
be known as Hotel. Wcstbrook."
a very important industry Is the
new ice and stave plant being erected
by ]. b. Bradshaw. of Burkeville This
is we'll under way and will represent
an investment of something like S10-
600. y shortage Of Ice supply has been
experienced In this section every sum-
mer, and this VIII fill a long felt need,
besides being OF great value in supply
ing neighboring towns and villages.
Col. K. w. Arnold will erect resi-
dence some time during the summer.
which will ostiahout $4,000. The con.
tract for this building has not yet
been let. h.
new brick structure is being
erected byP Fleetwood. ST., Just to the
rear of the bank, which VIII be occu-
pied by the Waverly Printing Com
pany. Inc, publishers Of tho Southside
Dispatch. This building Is two stories
high, has white pressed brick front.
and is in every way credit to Wav-
erly. Ssef
The sydnor Pump and Well Com
pany. is drilling a we'll here for the
corporation. This lis a small beginning,
which.iit is hoped Will lead to water
works and a sewerage system for the
town. Waverly ia plenty able to have
this, there being small fortuile in
the treasury Of the town, made largely
from the Whiskey dispensarys &. ~
