INQUIRIES FROM ALL OVER.
Right Idea.
There is a certain young" farmer in
Robeson who bought license to marry
a certain girl last week, but before he
bought his license he bought three
nice hogs. He i3 a young man with
the right idea. "There ain't nothing
beats having a wife, and living at
home in the country."
Saw the Comet.
Mr M C. Britt, who lives near
Smith's, was a Lumberton visitbr
Saturday. Mr. Britt says he saw the
comet some of the papers had been
saying quite a bit about recently, in
the east one morning a few days ago.
He says it looks very much like Hal-
ly's comet. He says it can be seen
very plainly after two o clock in the
morning.
A One. Eyed Colt.
Mr. E. K. Atkinson, who lives near
Marietta, and who raises a good many
Robeson mules-and horses, says that
one night last week one of his nags
gave birth to a colt which had only
one eye, it being right in the center
of its forehead. He says the eye was
somewhat larger than usual. The colt
only lived a few hour3.

of the bank, who is a justice of the

them one in a s.iort time, and they

Young Ladies Badly Frightened.
Misses Mamie Sexton and Pauline
Ashworth, operators at the local tele
phone exchange, Miss Sexton being
chief operator, were badly frightened
Thursday evening about 9 o'clock
when leaving the exchange over store
of Messrs. White & Gough. Mr. How.
ard Nye had started to the telephone
office and hearing the young ladies
coming down the dark hallway he
stepped behind some old bed springs
to give them room to pass. About
the time the ladies got opposite him
Mr. Nye stumbled upon the bed
springs, making an awful noise, and
the girls' were terribly frightened.
Their screams were heard for some
distance. Sheriff R. E. Lewis, who
was standing about a block away,
hasten to find out the trouble, and
others came running from every di
rection. By the time it was found
where the trouble was the girls had
reached the street at the foot of the
stairway leading to the exchange of
fice, and Miss Ashworth was so badly
frightened that she had to be sup
ported by Ml3s Sexton. It was ne
cessary to call a physician for Miss
Ashworth and she was not able to be
on duty again until Saturday.

Mr. F. L. Mitchell of route 1 from
Fairmont dug a sweet potato one day
last week that weighed 81-2 pounds
It was by far the largest potato ever
seen by this reporter, and no doubt
it would take off a prize at the
State fair. Judging from Reports
and the number of potatoes being
sold on the market there will be a
"bumper "tater" crop in Robeson, and
they will "help out," and that no lit'
