SHANNON NEWS LETTER.
Laying of Corner Stone of Pres
byterlanChurch at Red Springs
-For Better Roads Personal.
V i ri'tipoiKlence of The Kob'sonlan.
After some time we will try
to pen a few lines for the paper.
Since our last Mr. A. D. Conely
has had tussle with typhoid fever
but he is convalesent now, we
are glad to report-
Mrs. N. A. Cobb has been sick
for sometime with "Lo grippe"
but is recovering slowly now.
Mr- Richard Baxter has been
in poor neaitn tor sometime
uut uis iieaim is buuiewuat
proved so he was able to coi4y&
the gin with cotton on the 9th,
and had the misfortune of falling
in the hopper and got his leg
cut and bled badly.
We did intend to write regard
ing the Public roads but we see
that the editor has called the at
tention of our newly elected of
tiers to the necssity of keeping
their campaign promises, and has
referred to the road law.
We .are hoping to see some
work done before the meeting
of our law makers. If our roads
can be graded as some one says,
for $38, per mile we might have
more work accomplished with the
1906 taxes than has been done up
to this time- Some of the brid
ges are in need of repairs here
(about and the sand is deep in
some places. I think the roads
could be graded cheaper by let
ing the roads out by contract.
We attended the laying of the
corner stone of the Presbyter
ian church at Red Springs on
the 8th snd enjoyed the occasion
very much the exercises by the
lnassonic order were witnessed
by a large number of the prater,
nity and by the schools of the
place besides quite a large num
ber of ladies and gentlemen from
the town and surrounding coun
ty. All seemed to enjoy the day.
Prof J. B. Carlyle was the orator
of thp day- His address was
just, five. Though the crowd was
large the dinner was ample
and was just elegant.
There have been near 1100
bales of cotton gined here to Nov.
10th. The cotton crop is short
in this section- The estimates
run any where f.om t' to 3-4
of a crop.

day. Mr. Smith McKeithan is erect

street.
In no time past has Raeford
enjoyed more unbound prosperi
ty than xtaw. At present there
is not a store vacant and several
new dwelling houses built in the
last two weeks are almost finish
ed. The addition of a new fac
tory, a good high school and the
proposed electric lights are evi
dences of the town's growth. It
is gratifying to know that the
prospects for the future are
very bright.
The Halloween party given in
the school auditorium by the
young men to the young ladies
of the school last Friday night
was unqualifiedly a succeiful
one. Ghostly figures and weird
tales haunted the participants
long after the party had broken
up. All expressed themselves
as having a most enjoyable time-
