Mrs. James Proctor Entertains the
Wednesday Afternoon Embroidery
Club.
Reported for The Robesonlan.
One of the most delightful meetings
of the Wednesday Afternoon Em
broidery Club was held last Wednes
day morning with Mrs. James Proc
tor at her beautiful home on North
Elm street, in honor of her house
guests Mrs. John J. Henderson and
Miss Goley of Graham.
After the guests had arrived they
were entertained with vocal and in
strumental solos, beautifully rendered
by Miss Lucy De Vane of Red Springs
and Mrs. R. R. Carlyle. The guests
were then invited to the veranda,
where an interesting game of nations
was played, at the end of which it
was found that Mrs. B. W. Page was
the lucky winner f the prize, a silver
darning gourd. The guests of honor
were each presented with a pair of
silk hose.
Most delicious refreshments con
sisting of three courses were served.
The out-oftown guests present
were Mrs. J. J. Henderson and Miss
Goley of Graham and Misses Annie
Belle and Lucy De Vane of Red
Springs. ' '
BUTTERMILK FACTORY.
When We Take Our Food in Tab
loid Fashion.
Raleigh Times.
Raleigh is not behind hand with
new industries, for we have a butter
milk factory, which makes buttermilk
scientifically and in a sanitary way,
by heating sweet milk and then giving
it the proper lactic constituents. Peo
ple can make buttermilk these days in
tabloid fashion, buying the essence of
it, so to speak, in the shape of little
cakes, just as one can buy in this tiny
form material for a plate of soup. It
is this sort of thing which has led
some people to believe that by and by
we will very largely take our food
in this fashion, and there will be set
by you a little tabloid of fried chick
en and a tiny hardtack which will
represent the kind of beaten biscuit
mother used to make, while your ice
cream will look for all the world like
an after dinner mint. You won't have
to have a table, really, except for cozi
ness, and as you lay a Spanish mack
erel tabloid on your tongue you can
tell of your last fishing exploit at
Morehead City. Thus you can gently
glide through the menu, all the way
from oysters to cream, but the one
thing you will not condense will be the
cigar, which thus resolved to its final
analysis would be a tiny drop of nico
tine, which would so quickly queer you
that it would cause you to speedily
part company with all the good things
which had preceded it.
Among the Sick.
The following cases are reported to
day from the Thompson hospital: Mr.
N. C. Prevatt is getting along nicely
and will return to his home in Back
Swamp section this week. Helon
Canady, the 80-year-old Indian woman
who wasnjured on an R. & C. trestle
recently, is getting along nicely, not
withstanding the fact that it was
necessary to amputate her left leg
just below the knee the other day. Mr.
J. D. M'White of Ten Mile and Mr.
Azor M'White of St. Paul's, who have
typhoid fever, are getting along nice
ly. Miss Elma Shooter, who under
went an operation a few days ago,

A Wise Investment.
Wilmington Dispatch.
The Lumberton Robesonian thinks
the State Board of Health could not
have expended money better than in
having sent Dr. W. S. Rankin, secre
tary of the organization, to the Pana
ma Canal to study conditions and
methods there. The Robesonian is
correct. Money cannot be expended to
better advantage by State, city or
county than in preserving health, and
those folks who quibble ona few dol
lars when health is at stake are either
going to provide a stop that will prove
disastrous, or cause delay that is de
cidedly dangerous. If thero is affy
doubt, it is always better to give it to
health. In other words, it is better
to spend a few dollars that may prove
superfluous, than to fail to spend what
is needed to preserve health. Even if
a few dollars too much is spent the
money does not drop out of existence,
but simply flows through different
channels, but lives that are thrown
away cease forever to be in circulation.
Sometimes the symptoms of kidney
and bladder trouble are so plain no

Better Paint
Better paint this year if your pro
perty needs it. Mistaken men have
been waiting for paint to come-down.
The cost of their job has gone-up not
down; it always goes-up by waiting;
never comes-down.
Better paint than Devoe? There
isn't any.
Suppose on had waited 20 or 30
years ago for a better paint than
Devoe: how long would he have wait
ed? How long would he still have to
wait?
The price of a gallon makes some
difference; yes, but not much; it's the
paint that counts; the quality counts.
It's the go-far that counts. Protec
tion of property counts more yet.

OLD PROVERBS.
From Bailey's Dictionary, 17fJ.
Eery Man Thinks Hi Own Geeae
Swans.
This proverb intimates that an in
bred Philauty runs through the whoJe
Race of Flesh and Blood, and that
Scif love is the Mother Of Vanity,
I'ride and Mistake. It turns a man's;
Geese into Swans amt njs
Imbs into Vension. It blinds the. un
derstanding, perverts the judjement,
depraves the Reason of the otherwise
most modest Distinguishers of Truth
and Falsity. It makes a Man so
fondly conceited of himself that he.
prefers his own Art for its Excellen
cy, his own Skill for its Perfection,
his own Compositions for their it,
and his own Productions for their
Beauty. It makes even his vicesi
seem to him virtues, and his deformi
ties, Beauties; for so every Crow
thinks her own Bird fairest, thoagh
never so black and ugly.
Good manners is the art of mak
ing these people easy with w'..om we
converse. Whoever makes the fewest
persons uneasy is the best bred in
the company. Swift.
A mother is a mother still,
Theholiest thing alive.
