THE SEMI-WEEKLY ROBESONIAN SPECIAL NOTICE. It has been a rule of The RnhMnni&n for several vears J to charge for publishing cards of thanks, resolutions ot re spect and obituaries. Occa sionally we get obituaries or resolutions of respect with re quest to publish free, however, so it appears necessary to give this notice prominence again. All such notices must be paid for at the rate of one cent a word for obituaries and reso lutions end not less than 50 cents for cards of thanks. This applies to all. Anything of this nature that is worth pub liahincr is worth caving for; if not worth paying for then a uaDer should not be expected to incur the expense of publish img for nothing. WITH AUNT BECKY. Crops Look Well -Olden-Time Melon Planting Young Horse Bre&k Neck-The Preside tial Campaign Work of No ble Women During Civil War Presbyterian Church at Smyrna Dedicated. a uMpondgncg of Tlx Robeson kan. Old Fork (Max ton R. 1). May 29- The farmers are having idea weather for agricultural work taese days, and are making good use of it. They are well up with their farm work and tne young crops look well. One of our neighbors. Mr. R, D. Hamer. who is a grower of fine melons, told me yesterday . that be had blooms on his vines lay by. That indicates some 4th of July melons, and sounds ' good. In the olden days we nad no melon patches, nor peavine hay, but the melon seeds were planted all over the old plantation. Tne Have darkies attended to that, and put them in the potato patch es, corn and cotton fields, so that everywhere they went to work they found this luscious fruit, so refreshing to them in the heat and burden of the day. The great utility of the hay crop had aot then been discovered, nor the plan developed; in fact, it was not needed as the greater portion of the tillable lands were pat in small grain, corn and peas, which supplied abundance of forage. The pea crops were tremendous in those days and the hulln were fine feed for cat tie and Bheep. The failure of this useful crop during the past lew years is a mystery to me when I recollect seeing them grow and yield so bountifully on the poor old sand ridges; but I think the present high fertiliza tion of the soil is the prime fac tor in the failure of the pea crop Huckleberries are ripening and I and a little colored girl have been out to the bay, just in sight of the house, to try our hands at picking. We were rewarded by a bucket full of berries, and nu merous mosquito and red-bug bites, but we saw no snakes. It baa been many years since I had gone on a similar expedition. Young Mr. McColl, our Scotch boy, received today a copy of 4The Sinking of the Titanic." I glanced through it a little but am aot sure that I will read it, as I had a surfeit of the horrors of it through the newspapers. I hear of some cases of sick aesd around, but none in the im mediate Fork. Mrs. D. H. Smith, the wife of our route agent, is seriously sick, we regret to bear, but was slightly better today, and we hope may continue to im prove. Dr. A. B. Croom was visiting a patient in the lower Fork today, and gave us a pleas ant call in passing; also he in formed me that he expected Mrs. McLaurin, my daughter, of Lat ta, & C, up to his hospital for an operation Wednesday p. m. A card in today's mail from your occasional correspondent "Vide," of Dillon, informs me that he is en route to his home , from the Macon reunion, and will probably stop by to see us. He has been visiting among old friends along the way and tells me he has had a very pleasant trip, and met with many old friends in Macon. Mr. Dugald Stewart, one of our enterprising young farmer boys, lost a nice young horse last ' week. He accidentally got out of the lot, was in a gay mood, be gan running for the fun of it, ran into a wire fence and broke hi neck. A good deal of interest is awakening among our citizens nuw-a days in regard to the com ing elections. According to the editorial in today's N. Y World, Taf t's Bupp irters are very much discouraged, and "Teddy" seems to be sailing on the topmos wave. I think this great nation can do far better than to. elect either one. Taft has the repute tion of being "weak-kneed. which 1 suppose he merits; and Roosevelt from bis love of pow er. is a dangerous man to place at the head of a Republic. I am hoping for a Democratic Presi dent, but that party must make no mistakes m the selection o: it's man, if it would win success. Some of my good and thought ful veteran friends sent me trom the reunion several batches o the Macon Telegraph, containing the fullest and most minute de scription of that interesting oc casion t have ever read, for which I am gratefully appreci ative. though unable to thank them personally, as no names ac companied either of the parcels, save that of Mr. Hugh Breeden of Dillon. S. C. Several splendid tributes were paid to the South era women of the '60s. and the tireless energy they displayed in feeding and clothing our brave soldiers. Reading these articles, I recalled those troublous days and the ladies aid societies. which were organized through out the South, and did noble ser vice for their country. They would meet once a week, at one or other of the neighboring homes, discuss plans, cut out and distribute garments to be made up and cotton and wool yarns to be knitted into socks and comforters. I was only a girl then, but had the honor of membership in the society be cause I was a rapid "knitter," and was anxious to do something to help the cause. For some months during the winter of '64 I was with an uncle and aunt in SouWCardiiCioing ;to" school, My aunt was a true and loyal patriot, fired with zeal for the rights of her country, and doing all in her power to help clothe our tattered soldier boys. She had a son aged 12, imbued with the same spirit, and a little ne gro boy who waited about the house. She put us all to knitting socks. She and I taught the boys, who became very expert and fond of the work, and many pairs of good warm socks were turned off by our needles that winter. I was very proud of every pair that I finished and of ten wondered whose poor naked feet they would help to warm. The women would once a month send off a box from each society. well laden with clothing and pro visions. Very often blankets were taken from the beds, be cause they were sorely needed in the rigorous Virginia winters, and the women and children could make and use quilts instead. Many noble deeds of self-sacri fice and devotion were performed by the glorious womanhood of the South, which will be perpetu ated by tradition if not by his tory, and generations to come should be proud of their ancestry. The beautiful new Presbyter ian church at Smyrna is to be dedicated next Sunday, June 3. Drs. Hill of Maxton and Vardell of Red Springs are expected to be present. I am very grateful to your Bellamy correspondent for kind words expressed in a recent con tribution. Aunt Becky. : 1 PREFERS BEDBUG TO FLY. A Better Companion for Bed or Board. This same man, mind you, con siders the housefly a useful scav enger, it is an a matter or edu cation and custom, and not a matter of taste. Now, as a mat ter of unprejudiced fact, barring the sting of the bite and the odor of the encounter, the bedbug is much the more eligible compan ion, whether of bed or of board But if bedbugs, comparatively cleanly of habit, crawled all over your plates, table, and food, just as the houBeflies ciawl. fresh from foulest filth of every pesti- ential kind who could eat or even sit at the table for a mo ment? I am not making a plea for the elevation of the social status of my nocturnal friend. who loves darkness rather than light; but I am declaring that his deeds are not nearly so evit and destructive as those of the houstfly. who can boast hi love of ligh and his love of filth. Twenty years from now, it not sooner, let us hope that the fly will have lost his social status, and his presence in a hoise be considered as disgraceful as it is dangerous Dr. Cyrus Tnomp son, on "The Fly and Fil h," in SUGGESTIVE QUESTIONS mW On the Sunday School Lesson sy Rev.
