The weather was favorable all through the services, large congregations at tended every service and the last two days and nights of thia meeting the church was unable to accommo date the people. We have never seen any church packed so full of people, and the order was exceedingly good. The preaching of Mr. Black is. we believe, unexcelled by any North Car-i ouna divine, from the very out set he had large congregations at his wiJJ. . He knows )how to Hnter?.t even the small children. And talk about singing! well, it was a treat to hear a laree, well-trained choir and congregation all singing in a l'vely speed, led by his splendid singer and co-worker, Mr. Burr. Special quartets, duets and trios were heard at each service. Special male auartets were enioyed at each ser vice. Mrs. D. S. Currie deserves special mention as she was Dresent at each service and we doubt if her,' qua! can be found anywhere in the State of Robeson or In North Cnro lina r Mrs . Mary J.

Raeford baseball team will play the locals on our diamond and an interesting game is promised. Our team has won 3 straights from the Y. M. C.

A good many of the young people f'"m our town attended the play, "Jfte Birth of a Nation , in Fayette vPJe Monday night. There was an exciting forest fire Fridav even in rr just above town that burned over the land of Messrs. D. W. Marsh and J. B. McCormick. burning some few cords of stovewood frr Mr. Marsh and 50 cordis of Mr. McCormick's. besides scores of nice ninewood and nine straw, and Mr. F. P.

The beautiul spring-time 13 coming along, The wind seems to whistle a cheerful ecng. The daisies and violets begin to peep, From under the mold so soft and deep . fcacn bird comes" along and builds its nest, While all little buds are doing their best, And over the fields the grass is teen, Sprouting and growing so pretty and green. The little birds are playing at hide and seek, And will be nesting within a week. So spring comes out of its deep close cell, And winter sends In a great cold spell. But winter is jealous of beautiful spring, It wants to be king of everything. It takes some buds when it ought to be gone, And some little plants after seed is sown. And little plants grow where lay the snow, Not more than one little month ago. But when summer-time comes with a task to do. Summer says with a smile 'tis my time to rule. But when spring comes to stay, win ter is lost, fn, ...J. a. .U.II J "F""' away me gum aalM frost. The Bpring.time dew brings freshness to the flowers, And the roses bloom mid spring-time showers . So with a smile spring goes away and a bow, For fear he will have a bad little row. , Gaily singing he tips along, Singing to them a farewell song. KNOW IT WELL OLDER BUT STRONGER To be healthy at seventy, prepare at forty, is sound advice, because hi the strength of middle life we too often forget that neglected colds, or careless treat ment of alight aches and pains, simply undermine strength and bring chronic weakness for later years.

A lame, a weak or an aching back Often tells you of kidney ills. Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys. Here is Lumberton testimony. Mrs. T. F. Barnes, 500 First St, Lumberton, says: "My kidneys caus ed me no end of trouble and my back felt so badly that I could-hardly get around. I had a constant, dull pain through my loins and no position eas ed the misery. My kidneys were sluggish and I felt miserable gener ally. Doan's Kidney Pills, that I got at McDonald's Drug Store, help ed me wonderfully. I had taken only a few doses when my kidneys got act ing right and the misery in my back eased up. I used one box of Doan's Kidney Pills and since then I have had very little trouble from my kid neys." 50c at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mrs. Barnes had. Foster-Milburn Co, Props., Buffalo, N. Y.
