Death of Mrs. Catherine James Bul
lock Correspondence of The Robesonian.
Fairmont, R. F. D. 1, Dec. 17
Mrs. Catherine James Bullock fell
in peaceful sleep at her home near
Ka rmont Dec. 5, 1915. She was a
faithful member of the Baptist church
and was held in high esteem by all
who knew her. She was born in Co
lumbus county and tiwice married.
Her first husband, Andrew Ashley,
died during the war. To them were
born four children, three of them
still living. Later she was married
to Joseph Bullock. To them were
born five children, four of them still
iving, making seven children, a hus
band and a number of grand chil
dren to mourn their loss.
It would be hard to find a more
loving and sympathetic wife. As a
mother she was loving, painstaking
and sacrificing. Surely in her case
the Scripture was fulfilled where it
says, "but the path of the just is
as a shining light that shineth more
and more to the perfect day."
ON FRIENDSHIP
The following was sent -The Robe
sonian recently by its Glennwood cor
respondent: A few lines of poetry composed by
Prof. Edgar Bundy and two of his
pupils:
Sometimes a friend one wishes to
be,
To one who loves a friend,
And the prize of friendship that one
asks
Is just to be lcved by a friend.
It seems that the prize is too great,
Or the friendship, 'tis not worth
while;
For one will scorn the love of a
friend
And cast sweet friendship in sad ex
ile. Edgar E. Bundy.
At a special election on the 14th
Greensboro voted bonds in the sum
of $75,000 for new sewers and $50,
000 for street work.
Of all my friends I ever knew
The best one is my mother,
I love her more dearly
Tien ever I can another.
She makes me feel that life is worth
living,
When days are dark and sad,
She to me is always giving,
The things to make me glad.
Stella McNeill.
HAVE YOU WEAK LUNGS?
Do colds settle on your chest or in your
bronchial tubes ? Do coughs hang on, or
are you subject to throat troubles ?
Such troubles should have immediate
treatment with the strengthening powers
of Scott's Emulsion to guard against
consumption which so easily follows.
Scott's Emulsion contains pure cod liver
oil which peculiarly strengthens the res
piratory tract and improves the quality of
the blood; the glycerine in jt soothes and
heals the tender membranes of the throat.
Scott's if prescribed by the best special
kta. You can get it at any drug store.

My mother is a sweet old lady,
Her hair is silvery gray,
And no friend could be better
T-an to me she is each day.
he always lends a listening ear
To all, yes all my cares,

.She gladly with me shares.
