THE SEMI-WEEKLY ROBESONIAN, 2 WITH AUNT BECKY. Kind Word Appreciated Quick Farming Methods Ne cessary Bad Roads A Word to Confedarate Veterans and Other Interesting Matters. CmiW'inrlrnrr of The Robeionimn. Old Fork (Maxton, R. 1, ) Apr. 8. Several months have rolled by since I last wrote to The Robe- soman, out i nave oeen careiuny of Philadelphia. He tells me many interesting things of his native laid, is a true and loyal Scott, and finds nothing oyer here quite as good as the things in 'bonnie" Scotland. When he told me of his rapid transit across the Atlantic in eleven days I thought of my grandmother and her passage ever, about the year 1763, on board an old-time sailing vessel, and was on the water six months. Vhen there reading its columns, and wish to! was n0 breeze, little or no prog- express through this medium our sincere appreciation oi tne Kind sympathy extended to us in our sore bereavement by the editor and many of his correspondents, also for several beautiful and comforting letters which came to us from dear relatives in your town. We are inexpressibly lonely since the loved husband and partner left us, and filled with a great sorrow which "nev er flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting" in our household. We have had a remarkably long and severe winter, and the continuous rainy weather has greatly retarded rarmers in pre paring their lands for planting, the unusual deep plowing is giv ing place to quicker methods and the farmers are forced to take every practicable short-cut pos sible, in order " to accelerate planting. Some of our neighbors expect to make a start this week toward putting in another cotton croD.

Those early settlers surely had brave and courageous hearts to undertake such a voyage. I hear of measles and smallpox prevailing in different portions of the county, but am glad to say that our little corner is entirely free from either of these conta gions so far. A few years ago, at the age of 54, 1 caught meas les from a chance visitor to our home (who remained but a short while), after having been expos ed to them by nursing others and had escaped. On account of my age and otherwise poor health, my family and friends were very uneasy, but I came through it all right, and my health really im- J proved. This experience may places, and ! "ay cnance to w&e n as he had lived, bravely, and had no fear of death, but often spoke of the grand reunion with so many of his old comrades and friends in the eternal camping grounds.

Only a few days ago our Spring Goods came in from Schloss Bros. & Co., the famous Good Clothes Makers of Balti more. Before seeing them we would iiave declared it impossible to produce such smart, perfect fitting garments at anything like the prices asked. But the proofs are here It remains for you to judge them for yourself. A suit like this shown, for instance, one which could be worn with equal propriety by a College Boy or a President can be had in great variety of fabric, shades and colorings at from $15.00 to $25.00. The cleverness of the makers has expressed itself wonderfully here, in the grace and good looks of this particular model. And it will look as well on you.
