Hoyle filled his reg ular appointment here last Thursday night. According to an old saying, it will be a good crop year. Hope it will be so. Mr. D. C. Kir law, of Howells ville.paidusavisit'afewdays ago. We are always glad to see such men come. He is one of the veterans. We can't help, and don't want to help having great respect for these old soldiers, and more especially for those who were so faithful to the Southern cause during the war. I for one love all of them who survive and are now living good and upright lives. We should all honor their gray hairs. We are much indebted to the Lumberton and Dresden Cotton Mill Companies for the splendid new school building which they have erected for benefit oi the children who live in the village. It is indeed a handsome structure, having three large recitation rooms on the first floor, and fur nished with elegant patent desks The auditorium on the second floor is a thing of beauty, and will comfortably seat about 400. It is provided with gas lights, which give a very splendid effect. The public school opened here the first day of February with Mr. A. B. Mercer as principal and Miss Anna Belle Humphrey and Mrs. Galhspie, assistants. The school is progressing finely under their management. The enrollment has already reached 190. If you have never seen lit tie children come down and see them lined up and entering the building. We have about 80 in the first grade. The young men of the town are getting up a night school, which will open next Monday night. Already about 40 have matriculated. This school will be taught by Mr. A. B. Mercer, principal of our public school, and Mr. V. H. Taylor, of Lum Derton. iney will instruct in spelling, reading, pemanshipand arithmetic. We wish them much success, both teachers and pu pils. We have preaching twice a week in the auditorium of the school building, each Tuesday night at 7:30 bv Rev. Mr. Weiss, and each Thursday night at 7:30 by Rev. E. M. Hoyle. Rev. J. M. Fleming, pastor, also fills his ap pointments regularly at East Lumberton Baptist church every second and fourth Sunday at 11 a. m. and each first and third Sunday at 7:30 p. m. The people of the village should feel very grateful to the mill companies for providing them with such excellent opportunities of hearing the Gospel preached and educating their children. We hope the people will take advantage of these opportunities of sending their children to school and carrying them to Sunday school and preaching. Out of our enrollment of 190 children, rang ing from 6 to 14 years of age, about 25 or 30 of them attend Sunday school. Out of this 190 about 75 are in the first grade, so you see we are sadly in need of school every day, and Sunday school every Sunday. Right here I wish to say that here is a great opening for mis sion work. If some means could be employed to get the children to come out to Sunday schoo every Sunday, instead of playing ball, marbles or other games and strolling the woods and en gaging in a great many other things that tend toward im moral habits, would be so much better for fcthem, fand surely there would be more hopes for them to beome good men and women. I would suggest that we invite the nearby ministers and all good Christain people to pay the village visits and talk to our people and encourage them to go to Sunday school.

Correspondence of The Robesonian. Rev. Joseph Evans filled his regular appointment here Sun day afternoon. Quite a large crowd attended, as usual. We noted from a distance Mrs. Evans, the pastor s wife, and some from the Philadelphus section. We have been having a. lot of rain this week. Guess the far mers will be glad to see it fair again. School closes Thursday, the 26th, with a candy pulling, and I imagine the young folks are an ticipating an enjoyable time on this occassion. Well, Monday was the birth day of the father of our country, George Washington, who did more for his country than any other man in history. He was born on Feb. 22d,1732,in a small, one-story farm house near the Potomac river. He didn't have much chance of going to school, either, and see what a great man he became. While he was going to school he wrote down a num ber of ruies of living. Here are two of them: Undertake not what you can not perform, but be careful to keep your promise." Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celes tial fire called couscience." He was the little boy that would never tell a lie. After he grew up he fought for several years to set our country free and later he became the first Presi dent of the United States. What a grand character he possessed! He was first in war, first m peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen." How much better this land of ours would be if more of the young men of to day would follow in the foot steps of George Washington, and labor to keep that little spark of celestial fire always burning in their hearts. We are sorry to report that Mr. Sidney Smith, of this vicini ty, who has for several years been cominecl to his home on ac count of rheumatism, is gradual ly getting worse. Mrs. J. T. Denny, who has been on the sick list, we note is improving, Hope she will soon recover. Well done, "Polly Ann": Mt. Tabor is thorough and the appara tus is all O. K.

I be lieve when the people get in terested in church and Sunday school here in the village they will be better satisfied, and will stay here, making it their home; but so long as this neglected, so long will they be dissatis fied and will move from place to place. I have noticed that peo ple who become attached to the church, and Sunday school are not so apt to leave, and as a rule thev can be depended upon. So let us do better, work harder to make East Lumberton a model mill village by living right and doing right. Our working in the mill is no reason why we should neglect church or Sunday school. mi 111 1 .

Notable Progress in Black Ankle and Maple Swamp Invoking Blessings Upon Crops and Bus inessPersonal Mention. Correspondence of The Robesonian. Miss Bonnie Howard and Miss Dora E. Cox visited friends at Fairmont Saturday and Sunday. Prof. J. A. Williams went to Boardman Saturday. Miss Dora Cox had bad luck last Friday. She went down town and being in a hurry she slipped down on the street. She was not seriously injured. There will be a birthday party at Mr. H. Prevatt's the 25th, sweet Jessie being 14 years old on that day. I suppose everybody has heard of Black Ankle. It is a section of the country near the state line and extends some distance into South Carolina. This was once known to be a desperate place; men were wicked and drunken ness and lawlessness prevailed. This is what we have learned from others who are older, but we are glad to learn that Black Ankle has greatly improved in religious and educational matters and men are law-abiding citizens Churches and schools have been established. We have learned " 1 A.I. rrom a citizen oi that commun ity that there is to be erected a two-story school building near Oakdale church in the near f u ture. We are glad to learn all these good things about Black Ankle. Another place like Black Ankle is in South Carolina, near Si mon's" home, known as Maple Swamp. Its past history is like Black Ankle men were wicked and lawlessness prevailed but it, too, has improved; churches and schools have been establish ed and the people are law-abiding citizens. We are glad to know that all such places as these have improved. Mr. Willie Floyd and "Simon" went over to Boardman Satur day and enjoyed the trip. Prof. Barnes, of Proctorvilie, attended preaching here Sunday after noon. Mr. H. G. Frink, of Bladenboro, was visiting relatives here Sunday. Mr. J. I. Stone attended preaching here Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Lydia Humph rey was visiting her sister, Mrs Shepherd, bunday. The panic is over and the farmers are hauling their fer tilizer, getting ready to make another crop oi cotton, and ex pect a good price for it. The presidential election is over and we hope there will be no panic and hope their expectations will be realized. Dr. J. C. McKenzie attended preaching'atJBarensville Sunday. Messrs. Craton Walters and Norford Barnes passed through town Sunday. Services were held at the church here Monday. The far mers and business men of this community met, as they do each spring, to invoke God's blessings upon their business during the year. A collection was taken for the suffering in Itlay on account of the earthquake. We are sorry to learn that "Happy Jack" has become "sad", but we hope he will soon become the same old "Happy Jack."

Deafness Cannot be Cured bv local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eus tachian Tube. When this tube is infiam ed you have a rumbling sound or imper fect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and un less the inflammation can be taken out aud this tube restored to its normal con dition, hearing will be destroyed forev er; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflam ed condition of the mucous surfaces.

"As long ago as I can remember my mother was a faithful user and friend of chamberlain's cough Remedy, but never in my life have I realized its true value until now," writes Prof. H. A. Howell, of "Howell's American School, Havana, Cuba. "On the night of Februray 3rd our baby was taken sick with a very severe cold; the next day was worse and the following night his condition was desperate. He could not lie down and it was necessary to have him in the arms every moment. Even then his breathing was difficult. 1 did not think he would live until morn ing. At last I thought of my mother's remedy, Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which we gave, and it afforded prompt relief, and now three days later, he has fully recovered. Under the circnm stances I would not hesitate a moment in saying that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.and that only.saved the life of our dear little boy. " For sale by all druggists. Charlotte Chronicle. The various committees are in the thick of preparations for the inauguration of President Taft, and. the occasion is going to be more distinctly a boutnern one than any previous Republican presidential inauguration. Not only will Southern Governors participate and Southern military organizations have -places in the parade, but for the first time at a Republican inauguration, South ern veteran organizations will take part in the procession. The spectacle of ex-Confederates marching in a Republican presi dential parade will be an unusual one, but it will serve to show the changing sentiment of the times. It is to the credit of these South ern soldiers that they are able to lav aside political prejudice and for one, The Chronicle hopes they will make a bold show in the procession. Currocpondence of The Robesonian. The Colonel, whom I have fre quently mentioned in these aber rations, was a representative of the peculiar manners and habits of the old South. He was a rep resentative of the great majority of Southern slave owners who owned from a dozen to one hun dred slaves. They were the great middle class, who differed as much from what was called the "poor whites" as they did from the comparatively few large slave owners who cultivated rich river bottoms and whose manners and style of living, who traveled North and visited Saratoga Springs with their servants, gave tone to the prevailing opionion held by the North in regard to the South. They no more rep resented the Southern middle class than the millionaires North represent the great middle class oi that section today. Ihe Colonel took almost as much care of his negroes as he did of his children. They were looked after and provided for with great care and attention and lived as well as himself. He was fortunate in the settlement of his family, who married off and lived in convenient distances of the old homestead. Everv Christmas they all gathered at the old roof tree, and for a week renewed their youth among the familiar haunts of former days. He had good neighbors on the same level of competency as him self, and "peace, happiness and sweet content" filled the social atmosphere. After the war, these family reunions began to fall off, its members one by one became scattered and absorbed in pursuits other than farming, until today even the old home stead is left untenanted by any oi his descendants. They are scattered from Robeson to Mis souri and most of the old neigh bors have died or moved off. Not long ago one of the dispers ed of that clan concluded to round up the. scattered remnants of the family, and these notes are the results of his tour. It is needless to state that wherever found they were all flourshing and progress ive in their several callings. He found some in Charleston, and spent several pleasant days in that representative Southern city. It does one good to find that Northern manners and cus toms find little lodgement among these descendants of the Hugue nots with a considerable sprink ling of the Scotch element. The social atmosphere is fine and smacks of the old South. The city is progressing on conserva tive lines, and is well up in mod ern conveniences and improve ments. Socially it maintains its old Southern ideas of honor and proberty,and no amount of money can open its doors to the newly rich from up North." Jacksonville, progressive, in tensive, pushing Jacksonville, comes next within the compass of his circuit, and here he found another batch of the scattered family, and it goes without saying that they are, too, of the "green bay variety; wherever found, they are making their mark. Jacksonville is said to be the most progressive city on the South Atlantic coast. Burnt to the ground a few years ago, to see it now one would almost im agine that Aladdin's lamp had been used in its reconstruction. Time and tide waits for no man, neither does a train, unless big Bill Taft wants ah ful attention. luiililiiitr ML Eliam Public School Com mencement Thursday Some Experiences on a Visit to Lum berton Personal. Correspondence of Th oU.stniin. After a very rainy dav and windy night we arose this morn ing to find it fairly cold and bright. Messrs. I. V. Britt, A. L.

Mr. Thad. Stone and "Happy Jack" went to Lumberton Sat urday, returning bunday, and saw and experienced something, 'cause pa's old mule is one of i i i tne mules that does nt care whether he gets there or not and then Mr. Stone and I are so heavy that I could not expect to go very fast. But we got to Lumberton, after a long time and 1 thought 1 would have my picture taken, as it is about time to plant corn. I waited over an hour to get it and when I got it it was blacker than any negro in New York. Just like I ex pected, but I would not pay for it. Then I went on. I thought to see some girls found the old man but no girls, and it was too late to go anywhere else But "where there's a will there' a wav". for he gave me a fine time. While returning home saw a man and his wife meet who had not spoken to each other in 5 or 6 years. Now, that made me feel good, for I expect to have a wife sometime to be glad to meet, for I found me an other girl and am again "Happy Jack" Mt. Eliam, N. C, Feb. 23, 1909. "Happy Jack" replies fully and at length to "Simon" in re gard to the decision in the de bate that has been under discus sion, but as both sides have been heard we think the discussion cannot nrofitablv be continued, so far as the paper is concerned. -Editor.
