Dear liobesonian--Iii yotir last issue was a call for a meeting of " the citizens, especially the ladies, to meet at the c urt house to hear Mm. J. A. Brown, the district vice pr.xident of the "Association for the Betterment' . of Public School Houses, " present that cause with a view to the organization of a country branch association for Robeson county. Three Lumbertou ladies respond ed to tbia call, and about half a dozen from the country. The wri ter ia constrained to hope that this meagre response by the laditfa,,o.( Lumberton was due to the"tfrrOrt- . nets ot the notice aud not to indif ference to this important and wor thy cause. "The Association for tbs Betterment of Public School House" was arganiied over s year go, ao4 kas already acoompliahfd greal deal of good, It baa for iti object toe improvement of the building by interesting the patrons acd inducing them to .paint their houses, furnish pictures for the walls, improve their equipment by nutting iu ma pa, gb bes, black boarde, comfortable desks and such other thing as .Would make the children comfortable and enable th tonchnrg to do the most ffli cient work. Another obnet is to arouse such an interest in the koa schools as will induce the patr i and children to improve and beat tify the environ rnefita of the achool houHo by laying off the ground planting and cultivating flower, and such other things as woulr1 tend to make the school attractive to the pupils and ibaceDtre of th social life of tho neighborhood. Mrs. Brown made an excelled presentation of her cause, but o "ing to the small attendance it wa ihought best to defer organ iz m till next Saturday, November 7tb. wheu the teachers' astooiation meet. The obj icts of the associs lion will then be fully explained This communication is writtei to respectfnllv urge the attend nice of tne Lumbertou ladies a' hat timo. If the splendid educs 'ional work that is now going oi in xtobeson couuty could bo sud denly brought to the attention o ar people they would be struct with amazement. It is becau?' ihoy know so little of it that the' tviuce so little interest iu it, bo he work is going on just the samf silently but surely, and a mightv revolution is changing the cond 'ions among our rural populatio that promises great results fo Kolmsnn in the not distant future ind it is very much to be desire hat ali our people shouid tafc part in the grand achievement. All the ladies and every citiz f the county is interested, o should bp, but thisoommnnicatioi written by a citizen ot Lumber ron, who is anxious to see the poo pie of Lumberton take au activ ;art in the furtherance of ever' aiue that has for its object tb :iioral, social or intellectual devel pment of our people. Therefore, while all the people f the county should attend anr : ivinco an active interest in tn TbpHctfully urges the people, and -specially tho ladies of Lumbertpi 'o do so. The business on hanr is women's work and they can d it most effectively if they will. PlTIU.IO School Lumber Bridge Locals.

In view of the fact that Sheriff McLeod reached here after nearly half of the day was gone, be will dip in another day for the accom modation of tax payers. When the special collector comes charged to collect by distraint, he wi! come back to stay the first day and then turn him loose. Sheriff G. B. McLeod got left by the freight tram at Maxton, Wed nesday pight, and did not resch here therefore till 10:10 a. m., the next day. The result was that tax payers thronged about him all day lie worked till late in the nh 'or the accommodation of tho poo ule. Their taxes were heavier than ver before and the grumbling hereat was less perhaps than evrr before. Leastwise we heard less It is conceded by all that tht Lumber Bridge Light Iufantn looted the right men for its com missioned ( fficers. Many in th anks are new men.
