Hoe and hominy seem to be plentiful and chickens so numerous as to be growing wild (far too wild for "Phil" to get a shot or chance at). Mr. Ed.

"Phil" and his "pal" made a flying trip through Orrum Sun day evening and, as "Jack" says, it surely is a coming town (I don't think). But Sunday is not the best time for "Phil" to form an opinion so he will wait and go some other day, when the street cars and autos. are run ning, and then he will tell you all about it.

Those bigotetd professors of Christianity who objected to Mr, Taf t on account of his Unitarian 1 1 1 IT 1 Deneis, snouia place a ban upon the use in church worship of that beautiful hymn, Nearer, My uod, to rnee, which was written by a Unitarian believer. the daughter of a Unitarian min ister, and for use in the Unita rian Church. It is perhaps the most popular hymn that has ever been written, and one from which the devout soul has drawn more consolation. In a sense, it has been sung around the world. Some exception has been taken to the hymn by the strictly orthodox, on the claim that the appeal is directly to God, and not through Christ to Lrod. there being no reference in the hymn, directly or impliedly, to Christ. But re gardless of the claim, the noble hymn has gone its way, sung in exery church, and by professors of every creed.

Mr. Thaddeus Stone went to Lumberton Saturday on business. Mr. I. V. Britt went to Board- man today. The writer and another about like him went to Boardman Fri day night, but did not harness any chickens, only some that were cooked. We were afoot and it did rain down about six o'clock! I could almost have rid den a house cat, it seemed like, before I got back to my shelter. I felt almost like a prodigal son. Well, going on I was riding a wheel I said we walked coming back, not going and a dog came in 20 cents of biting me, then I scared a man's mule and the mule scared the man. I don't know whether it was me or the wheel the mule was afraid of: it was me, as l am so looking: and the man me so it was a scared The man talked like he excuse me with a stick got in the fence jam and thought I would be fanned be- lore l got out. I ll get over the fence next time. I got to Boardman, though, and ?; to my surprise did not find Richard there. I' got back honfe-wet as a catfish and went to Lumberton Saturday. My brother was with me. I went into The Robesonian office and got lost from ,my brother and there were so many people in Lumberton I could not find him for a while. He saw an auto, and thought Mike would be afraid of it and he had hidden himself. I believe he was scared worse than the mule. I spent the night with my grandfather and of course enjoyed myself very much. - It believe Lumber- ton is growing as last as any town in North ' Carolina. Today I am at Orrum, in schoo and expecting my ears pulled any time. Orrum is a promising town, it has one of the best if not the best schools in Robeson coun ty. They have six teachers as good as live inside of the North Carolina boundaries. Talk about teachers! Prof. Joe Williams is a school teacher! The schoo will give a concert Friday night, the 18th. Everybody is cordially invited to attend. There was an eye specialist in these parts yesterday. He fitted several people here with eye glasses. Mr. B. B. Britt lost his mule last week. She had been in fee ble health for some time. I ex pect she was 15 years old, or probably 20. She was a good mule. It's bad to lose a mule, they cost so much. We hear of two morer wed dings to be about the time old Santa generally comes but I expect the panic has touched old Santa this year. They have improved the side walks at Orrum, which adds much to the appearance of the town and adds to the comfort of the people. I would like to give a few reasons why urrum is a gooa place to invest money in real estate. They have such a good school and church; it's in a great farming centre; it has a railroad connecting with several main lines and a sroOd depot; it is such a healthful place. We hear of one school teach er s plan in spelling which is working very well, especially with the boys. It is this: Wnen a girl misses a word the boy that spells it has permission to kiss her. (Better rules, better work). A man advertising his coffins says if you use one. of his you'll never use another. Mr. Lott Britt continues very sick. We think Mr. Warwick is right about compulsory school law. and hope to see the time when evei y man will have to send to school four months in the year and not four weeks, as many do now. Hurrah for such a law! Killing hogs is the order of the dav and pinder poking and fruit suppers are the order ot the night. There will be a Christmas tree and some Christmas exercises at the Mt.
