"V ' V 1 ? 5 -A :i d Vi ,t THE SEMI-WEEKLY ROBESONIAN. 'I & ANTIOCH DEPARTMENT. A Tribute to the Late Col. N. A. 'McLean Antioch Now in Hoke County -Personal. OnwoiKh-nc of The RobeAin. Antioch, Feb. 20-Antioch and her people feel very keenly the great personal loss they have sustained in the transplanting from earth to heaven the noble, monlv nnirit of Col. N. A. Mo Lean'of Lumberton; and" while those more capable than your correspondent have written of the departure of this great man, yet as one who loved, . honored and admired him we want to pause and place a flower oh his grave. To him death was only a going home, the dissolving of the earthly house of this taber nacle to enter that house made not with hands, alone eternal in the heavens. While the sum . mons came suddenly, yet we know his lamp was trimmed and burning and he was ready to meet the Bridegroom. Truly a great man has fallen and the words "Col. McLean is dead" seem very hard for us to grasp. Loved by all who knew him, many are the hearts that are sore today as they realize that this great friend and counsellor is no more. Col. McLean was a brave man who was possessed of the very highest sense of honor, despising anything littlo or small. He was true to his friends and was charit able to their faults. His wn also a most forgiving dis position. Your correspondent i--w i i xl . bear testimony to the lact that we saw him clasp the hand of one with whom he had differed and speak to him tenderly of their friendship in bygone days, assuring him of the fact that there wa3 no malice in his great heart to him; and we also bear testimony that the last of ficial act of his life was an act cf kindness to one who had differed with him on a public question, remarking to me as he did it that "he had malice in his heart to no one on earth." We can but be lieve that he knew the end was nigh and wished to be sure be fore leaving for that far-off spirit land that he loved his neighbor as himsell. truly to, him it was light at eventide wnen his bark unmoored for sea; and while it was sad to see this bright light go out, yet we know it rose in greater and more efful gent light on the other side, where he met the loved ones who had gone before. While our hearts go out in sympathy to the bereaved family, yet they should be comforted by the thought that they have left to them a legacy which time cannot mar nor destroy a good name. If he could speak to them he would tell them to cease their tears, that he shines in the light of God. His image stamps his brow and he now basks in the sunlight and presence of the greatest lawyer the world ever knew Jesus Christ into whose hands he had committed his case and who gave him strength in life to say. "For I know whom I have believed and am persuad ed that be is able to keep that which I've committed unto him even against that day." Thou art gone, thou great chieftain, but we will still fondly cherish thy memory and rising genera tions shall rise up and call thee blessed. We trust his mantle may fall on the shoulders of his son, who we trust may some day render to his country the great service of his father. An imaginary line now divides us from Lumberton and we now write "Hoke county," but we still love Robeson and have only the kindest of feeling towards our friends of the Lumberton bar. We believe we have the equitable solution of the problem in Hoke and as one of Lumber ton's leading lawyers, Mr. A; W. McLean, is a son of Hoke : we here and now serve notice on him that we will be borrow ing him up in Hoke pretty often. Rev. M. McG. Shields, of Greensboro, preached in the Presbyterian church here Sun day night. Mr. H. S. McLean, of Rae foid, spent Sunday night in the city, a guest of Mr. Fred Brown. Mr. McLean is very enthusiastic over Hoke county, The daie on your label tells you when your subscription ex pires and serves as a receipt for all money sent us. -If the date is. not properly changed within two weeks after you remit, or if your name is wrong, or you get two papers, notify us at once.

Dunaway, pastor of the Baptist church, preached two of his most able sermons. The ser vices were held in the M. E. church, as the Baptist church was undergoing some repairs. The congregations were large and attentive. There will be preaching on next Sunday p. m. at 3 o'clock in the Baptist church by the pastor. At last the central telephone office has been established and it is now ready for operation. You can now talk anywhere you please. The system seems to work very satisfactorily. A. A. McDonald & Son have moved one of their saw mills from Mar's Bluff, S. C, and have moved the mill down on the Lumberton road near Mr. David McArthur's plantation. This is a splendid mill plant and will in a short while be in operation with drv kiln and planing mill all com- pieie. i ne manager ui iuc auuvc nanitd firm will have headquart ers in Parkton. The latest in our town is the automobile purchased last week while attending court in Lumber ton by Mr. A. J. It's a plum beauty, a real White Steamer, and runs smoothly while it will run. sometimes it reiuses iu move a wheel and reminds us of ft ii mi car. or whatever you .may call it, is the first in this section Some of the farmers are plant ing Irish potatoes, but very few in this section. Mr. J. D. Gillis is the first to plant early corn. The farmers are hauling guano by the wholesale. Miss Ethel Williamson spent Saturday and Sunday at home and returned Sunday afternoon. Her little brother Charlie re turned with her to spend a week down at Smyrna. Miss Mary Lee Culbreth has recovered from an attack of measels and is teaching at the Buckhorn academy. Mr. J. G. Hughes wears a broad smile, sure enough: It's a boy. Mis3 Willie Hodges has accept ed a position as sales lady in Cobb Bros, store. All the stores in town seem to be doing a rushing business now adays. Several of the young folks in town have gone to Lumber Bridge tonight to attend a play at the academy. Smallpox has been real excit ing in our town. Seme few ne groes have been quarantined. No white cases as yet. Miss Ferguson is still in the photo business and is busy all the time. Mr. A. Parham went to Lum berton today to attend the fun eral of Col. N. A. McLean. Miss Mary A. Malloy returned home last week from an extend ed visit to Quitman. Ga. Mrs. J, C. D. McNatt returned Wednesday from Paro, Ga., where she had been visiting at her old home. The First Social Event In Hoke County At Spring Branch Aaademy. Reported for The Robesonian. One of the most brilliant and successful social events of the season was given by the faculty and students of Spring Branch academy Friday evening, Febru ary 17th. The success of the evening depended chiefly upon the ability and skillful manage ment of the faculty. Misses Janie McBryde and Annie Meta Buchanon, aided by the ladies of the vicinity. y When the guests wereV as sembled in the reception room (which was beautifully decorated with evergreens and flowers) the ball of fun and enjoyment was started rolling by the ac eomplished music of Misses Buchanon and Dixie McQueen. W nue tne young people were enjoying themselves in the re ception room, the faculty and the experienced ladies of the neighborhood were preparing a sumptuous repast in the artisti cally decorated dining room, consisting of ham sandwiches, chicken salad, cheese straws, pickles, olives, cake and coffee. When the doors were opened to the dining room and the hand somely decorated table,-loaded with these tempting and palatable refreshments, was disclosed, six teen couples were invited to come forward and partake of these refreshing delicacies. At the door were Messrs. Shepherd Russell, Leonidas Autry and Gus Purcell, who accepted sixty cents from each couple (for appeasing their appetites so thoroughly.) The guests passed from the dining room into- trie confec tionery room, where three stu dent girls. Misses Cora Mae Mc Neill, Dorothy Alderman and Hazel McFayden, served delicious candies and fruits. After the guests had taken this fruitful round of everything beautiful to the eye and pleasant to the taste, and found them selves assembled again in the re ception room, where the charm ing music was added too by the renowned violinst Mr. M. Mc Duffie, and the consent of the school cammittee being obtained by the young men, the ball. of fun and enjoyment was given a faster turn by a good old-time square dance, wnicn was an nounced by all as being a bright spot in the routine -of pleasure throughout the evening. When the time rolled around for the adieus, the guests told their charming hostesses, Misses McBryde and Buchanan, good night in praises of perfect success and wishing such delightful oc casions would occur more often. This entertainment was planned and carried out by the faculty and students of Spring Branch academy for the purpose of painting the academy, and I feel safe when I say that the faculty and student body extend their highest appreciation and grati tude for their liberal, patronage and hope no one spent one penny more than the pleasure received. The net proceeds were $56.05. Subscribe for The Robesonian. PROMINENT ODD FELLOW Bad Case of Catarrh and Other Complications. Fully Re stored by Peruna. Mr. Chas. L. Sauer, Grand Scribe, Grand Encampment L O. O. F., of Texas, writes from San An tonio, Texas: "Nearly two years ago I accepteda position as secretary and treasurer ol one of the leading dry goods estab lishments ol G a 1 v e s t on, Texas. .The sudden change from a high and dry Mr. Chat. L. Sauer. altitude to sea level proved too much for me and I became afflicted with ca tarrh and cold in the head, and general debility to such an extent as to almost incapacitate me for attending to mj duties. I was induced to try Peruna, and after taking several bottles in smai doses I am pleased to say I was entire ly restored to my former normal condi tion and have ever since recommended the use of Peruna to my friends."
