rens in 1883, more than quar-
ter OF Il century ago, and they
nave been successfully conduct

WATERLOO IS A FINE LITTLE
COMMUNITY
TATERLOO is located in the
wv southern part of Laurens
county, very near the
boundary line that divides Lau-
rens and Greenwood. 1t is a
charming little community Of
about four hundred people, has a
live state bank, several general
mercantile establishments, a
good school and well-supported
churches. In fact, it is just such
a small town as one might we'll
enjoy living in.
a LIVE MAYOR
Carl Wharton is not the type
Of man to let things just rock
along. If they don't move fast
enough, Mr.. Wharton believes in
making them move, and that is
just what he is going to do for
Waterloo, in his official capacity
as the towns mayor.
And while Waterloo has only
about four hundred people now,
1T is in excellent shape to grow,
and | rather expect that when |
go back to Carl Wharton's town
year from now, or maybe two
years from now, that the popula-
ton will register nearer six hun
dred than 1t does the four hun
dred mark today.
IDEAL RESIDENCE PLACE
There couldn't be more at
tractive place as a residential
community Of it's size than Water
loo. With such neighbors as Carl
Wharton, Colonel John II. Whar-
ton, j. G. Smith, Rex Lanford and
T.. " Goldins, to say nothing Of
the scores OF other good neigh.
bors that one would have in Wa
terloo, life would be ali that the
newcomer now is looking for a
congenial location might desire.
