2 THE SEMI-WEEKLY ROBESONIAN. MT. ELI AM MATTERS. Mary's Reply Rabbit Killings Work and Vote for Farm Life School The Ancient "Ditto" Yarn-Other Matters. CarmtKindenc of The hobeonin. Mt. Eliam, April 17-The fol lowing letter is the one that broke "Bill's" heart. My Dear Bill: received your letter. but it was too late. Am very sorry to tell you but just two days before I got it I was engaged to "Jim Thrower." I had decided that you were done stopped loving me. I hadn't heard the first thing about the cow's hurting you. Why in "tarnation" didn't you turn her aloose? If you had perhaps we would have been happy long atore now, as youi said. I loved you then, it is true, and all you would have had secured know. But telling what ij .GOOD NEWS, started out to tell, the man he I got down his book what he had Many Lumberton Readers Have his merchant, who was running him through summer and going to chase him harder the next fall, to put down what he had charged in. He noticed where it said, "April 25, 1 barrel flour, $7 May 27, ditto $7." He said, "Polly, what in the dickens is this here charged ?7 called ditto? Whv I haven't bought any ditto have I?" "No you haint," said Polly. They paused and studied but couldn't decide what it was or that they had bought any dit to, so he kinder cussed and hooked up and went to town to see what it meant, and when he went into the store, mad as a guinea wasp and asked the mer chant what he had him charged with $7 worth of ditto for. The merchant after some time made him understand that ditto meant Heard It and Profited There by. "Good news travels fast, "and the thousands of bad back suf ferers in Lumberton are glad to learn that prompt relief is within their reach. Many a lame, weak and aching back is bad no more, thanks to Doan's Kidney Pills. Thousands upon thousands of people are telling the good news of their experience with the Old Quaker Remedy. Here is an ex ample worth reading: Mrs. J. F. Harrington, of 364 Dix St., Fayetteville, N. C, says: "I am pleased to say that Doan's Kidney Pills have helped me wonderfully. I suffered from dull, nagging backaches, had distressing pains across my loins, and severe headaches were also I if 'I ULtABmBB tn rinno in havp RPfnrPfJ rtl( was just mention it, because I have j another barrel of flour and he always been crazv about a hus- j put it down ditto, which meant band. Don't differ 60 much j the same as the above, about what kind he is, just so! Messrs. Rossie and Dudley wa a hushnnr? 'nw "Rill". I Britt spent Saturday and Sun- the same and that he had bought j common. The kidney secretions don't take it too hard about me for "Jim" may soon die and just as soon as he does you can have me. Wish I could make you hap py for ever by answering your question with a ves, but I can not afford to fool my dear "Jim" after I told him what I did. He has bought me a 98 cent watch and done give it too me. He bought me a ring and a silken handkerchief and I don't know how many packs of snuff he hain t bought me. inen me disappoint him! Not yet. Guess I better sorter stop. Hope you will get over it all right. Now don't cry "Bill," and also hope you will get a wife good as I would have made you. Goobye, "Mary" Rabbit killing is the order of the day on the "Mount." The boys killed 10 last Saturday eve ning and 11 Saturday before and 10 Saturday before that. The "rascals" eat all the garden vegetables in some places. It is right interesting to see a little negro boy that goes along with a sack to put them into when killed. His folks eat them all up. One certain woman that don't live very far from here broke a costly egg last week. She got kinder wrong with a certain man and that certain egg was not very sound. She threw that certain egg that was not sound at that certain man and smashed that certain egg all over that certain man. That got that cer tain man's wrath up so that cer tain man indicted that certain woman and that certain egg cost that certain woman $9.75. A costly egg not to be sound, wasn't it? In regard to the farm-life school, which is a thing on the way, we will say that now is the time for the farmers of the county to work aud vote for a thing that means much to them and more especially to their children. The time is almost in sight when the most health ful, wealthful and honorable work will be agriculture. A young man cannot, keep books till he learns how; he cannot practice medicine till he is pre pared for the business; neither can he practice law, preach or do anything worth while until he has learned how; and last, but not least, he cannot farm suc cessfully unless he has been pre pared for that business. And we are glad the time is not far away when we will have a farmer's business college right here in the best county in the world. There are more impor tant things to learn about agri culture than in any other voca tion and we hope the county at large will go to the polls May 9th and vote to the interest of themselves and their children. I learn that all who vote in this election will have to register, don't differ how many times you have registered in the past. Mr. E. B. Stone's chickens are not all he has got that are set ting. His geese seem to. have the same fever. One of his boys said that he put some lightwood knots . in a nest" about two months ago to try to stop one from setting and Joehold she is still setting on those knots, ap parently in good heart. The ganders hang around like they were expecting goslings most any day now, but up to this writing there is not a knot pipped. Mrs. G. P. Graham of Tolars- Orrum spent Monday with Mrs. I. V.

Ashley A Pretty Home Wedding. Correspondence of The Robesonian. Fairmont, April 15. Quite a large crowd of friends, both young and old, gathered at the home of Mr. W. H. Perry of Fair mont last Tuesday evening, April 11, to witness the marriage of their daughter Miss Myrtle to Mr. Wade C. Ashley. Promptly at 8 o'clock, to the strains of Lohen grin, the bridal party entered the parlor in the following order: Mr. Wiley Taylor and Miss Atha Strickland; Mr. Tom Baker and Miss Fannie Belle Taylor; Mr. Berry Ashley and Miss Mattie Brown. Then followed the hand some young groom and his lovely bride, who stood under a soft white wedding bell in an arch of green while the impressive ceremony of the Methodist church was read by their beloved pastor, Rev. C. W. Smith. This young couple have both grown up among us and none are more popular or more beloved. In kindness of heart and love for their friends they cannot be sur passed, and the crowd present and the numerous and valuable presents on display showed the extreme interest of these friends, who one and all voice the old time wish: "As they paddle down the stream of life may trouble never rock the boat.
