BUIE NEWS BATCH All Who Have Planted Wheat In Robeson Are A'ked to Let No. of Acres be Known. Mr. D. II. Britt of the Back Swamp section, president o the Robeson Division of the Farmers' Union, was among the visitors in town yesterday. Mr. Britt thinks i very essential, that the number of acres of wheat planted m Kobeson be made known in order that some arrangements for milling may be made. He thinks the best way to find this out is for all who have any planted to inform The Robe sonian of the amonut. That is v. good idea and The Robesonian wil be pleased to have a letter from ev ery farmer in the county who har planted any wheat giving the num ber of acres and the prospects foi yields, etc. , Town Election Confirms Nominatons Philadelphia School and Community j Tuesday night the commencement Lonesome With School Closed 1 closes wi;h the hivh 5,l,nJ .
