Lumberton, R. 5, Jan. 4 Welcome New Year! The schools are re-opening for the spring sessions, but rather thinned in attendance due to the unmerciful intrusion of measles. We are for tunate, however, in our Meadows school to have enough immunes to keep us busy in spite of the epi demic. It is our sincere hope that all the sick ones may soon be well. Rev. W. D. Combs, pastor of the Gospel Tabernacle, Lumberton, vis ited our school, Friday, December 22, it being the occasion of our holiday closing, and delighted us with a very excellent speech. It will be a priv ilege to have him visit us again. The following won a place for themselves 2nd month on the honor roll: Crow son Bryan and Howard McDonald of the 7th grade, and Mike L. Davis of th 5th err de. The Robeson union held with the church at Singletary's X Roads last -week wa3 quite a success in every -way. Despite the rains Friday morn ing, fifteen churches answered to roll call. The sermon by Rev. J. F. D vis and the speeches by Revs. I. P. Hedgpeth and J. R. Miller were good and the singing was splendid. Din ner was served on the grounds and was in keeping with all that goes to make a well-rounded Robeson coun-t- sumptuous repast. It was super abundant and almost made us wish we were Wins, so we could eat some mnrp. We could not stay for the sessions Saturday and Sunday, be ing under obligations to the union meeting at Center Roads church in Bladen Saturdav, and the church at Rli7!ihftht,own Sundnv: but we- heard pood things about the servic.es which , were irdd gatifvinsr.

Russell. A hunter has wandered for days with his pack horse and his saddlehorse in search of mountain sheep, whose play grounds are the waste places high up among the peaks of the Rocky mountains. Up above the timber line, among the snow and rocks, he has sighted a fine specimen and has killed it. Leading his two horses across a bad stretch of country, he has reached the spot where the an imal fell just in time to see a grizzly bear rise up to contest the prize. The hunter is about to raise his rifle for the shot that means life or death when the horses begin to back and pull. He cannot, let them go or he is lost in the wilderness. His heavy boots slip on the bare stones. Will the man get the bear and the sheep or will the bear get the sheep and the man. "Whose Meat?" Grantham Bros.
