MARIETTA AND VICINITY
A Banning Account of a Between.
Trains Visit One of the Best Sec
tions of Robeson and Some of Its
Peoole Fine Farms, Comfortable
Homes
If one were to stari out w wnc
dbout any one of the numerous
splendid sections of Robeson coun
ty with the idea of doing complete
justice to his subject ne wouia nave
to have more time at his disposal
for that particular task than The
Bobesonian man has just now for
special mention of the Marietta sec
tion, in which splendid section he
had the pleasure of spending a few
hours one day recently. And so this
is merely a running account, intend
ed merely as such and not to be tak
en as an attempt to measure up to
the height of the great argument the
subject opens. -That
being understood, and to be
gin at the beginning, The Robeson
ian man got off the train at Mari
etta about eleven. of the clock the
other day and immediately stumbled
into the arms and under the care
of Mr. Sam Oliver, who has a heart
as big as some of the Oliver farms
around there; which is some big.
While hanging around the station
and the store just opposite for a few
minutes, some kifid out "busted"
wide open the peaceful qtfiet of the
village by ringing just for fun, or
just for devilment, as you choose
a large new bell which had just ar
rived, and was still on- the station
platform, fcr the c.iurch.of the col
ored folk. Some noise that bell
made, proving beyond a doubt that
when it rings from the belfry of the
church to which it was on its way.
people far and near will know that
som service is going to be held by
the brethren in black in their own
house of worship. Mr. Oliver per
suaded the festive young man who
was ringing the bell that everybody
was satisfied it would make a noise,
and then we made our way across
to the neat, ,well-keot and well
stocked store of Messrs. J. S. Oli
ver & Son. Just before that, though
VOn See. this is Inst a nmninir af.
eouriV of what happened to . a wayr
isrer, ana nou dont want to read
all about it you can skip about; but
you'd better not; and this belongs
. right here before going, over to the
store of the Messrs. Oliver Mr. W.
Tom Jenrette was observed driving
down the road, and as The Robeson
ian man used to know Prof. Jenrette
when he was a merchant in Lumber
ton, he went out and hailed him.i
Prof. Jenrette was in a hurry, for
he was On his way after a colored
person to help get up hay. They
are busy folks at Marietta; so we
dii not have time to much more than
say howdy to Prof. Jenrette.
At the store w found Mr. W. M.
Oliver, the "Son" of the firm, also
"busy, 'but not too occupied to see at
a glance that here was a wayfarer
who was hungry, and rigjht here
it where I part company with "we"
I was rlad enough, making no
bones about it, to accept his invi.
tation. And if I was glad to accept
his invitation on general principles
before going to his hospitable home,
certainly I was doubly glad after
wards. For it is indeed a privilege
to enjoy the hospitality of Mr. W.
M. Oliver and his charming wife.
Mr. and Mrs. Oliver did better
than give me a good dinner; they
did not leave me to beguile in, idle
ness the hours between trains. Mr,
Oliver suggested that I might take
his horse and buggy, drive over, the
immediate neighborhood and see
something of that splendid farming
section. He himself was too busy
at the store to spare the time to go
with me, so Mrs. Oliver kindly con
sented to pilot me, for fear I might
get lost.
Through sunlit fields on an ideal
Indian summer day in October; the
open road; by pasture lands, here
and there cattle grazing; cotton
fields, snowy white, stretching away
in the distance; haystacks dotting
the landscape here and there; corn,
fields; potato patches patches "noth
ing; there were acres of patatoes;
by farm hemes with clean, well-kept
yards, homes inviting to rest and
comfort.
We passed by the home and farm
of Mr. G. S. Page and made a brief
stop at the home of Messrs. Oscar
and John Page and their maiden sis
ters. This home, and the home of
Mr. J. S. Oliver, where we made
another brief stop farther on, are
country homes one loves to dream
about in idle moments when one
thinks one would like to quit the town
and town-made things and get out
in God's country and live and work
and get brown from the soil, and
get tired and hungry, and let great
thoughts of great men sink deep in.
to one's' soul. ,
Mr. Oscar rage has been an in
valid for two years and more and one
of the Misses Page recently has suf
fered with her eyes, an operation be
ing necessary, and her eyes were
bandaged, shutting out all light; but
the home inside was just as cheer
ful as the glorious sunlight of that
perfect October day; and we could
but wonder, and admire, and thank
Ooh that it was so.
Mr. John Page came in from the
fields and brought the bigness of
out cf doors with him. Besides rais
ing everything else, almost, Mr.
Page is a past master of the art of
raising potatoes. He raises enough
potatoes to feed the hosts of Israel.
He knows how.
Reluctantl" leaving this home, we
drove next to the home of Mr. J. S
Oliver, where we found Mr. Oliver ."Pape's Diapepsin" for Sour, Acid
NO INDIGESTION, GAS,
OR STOMACH MISERY
IN FIVE MINUTES
at work near the house. We found
Mr. Page and Mr. Oliver just as busy
as they find the town man when
they come to town. Mr. Oliver's
farm is one of the best in all that
God-blessed section, and hard by his
home, right beside the road, he has
the finest field of cotton I. have seen
anywhere this year.
After a few pleasant moments
spent in this lovely home, the jour
ney back to town was made by way
of the fine farm of Mr. D. J. Oli
ver. -
Even the careless reader is bound
to have concluded by this time that
this is the country of the Pages and
Olivers; and he guessts right; and
they are prosperous, progressive, in.
tell i gent farmers and good citizens.
They believe in and practice di
versified farming in the Marietta
section; hence the prosperous people.
And the social life of the community
leaves nothing to be desired when
compared with the social life of
many large towns. The ladies have
their clubs, and their town sisters
would not find life dull or uninter
esting there.
I might mention th commodious
