THE ROBESONIAN,
THINGS SEEN AND HEARD
A "High Cut" on a Lady of Color.
Many took a look as it passed own
Elm street. It was attractive and who
could blame the folks for looking. It
was a new style "frock". It was a
two-piece affair and worn by a wom
an of color. The top of the skirt was
fastened under the woman's arms
and not around her waist. While the
woman had on a shirt waist,it was not
very necessary. The skirit would
have answered for both that is, the
way it was being worn. t There was
not rt much cloth used in manufac
turing the "frock" either, The south
end Of the f kirt only descended to
the knees of the wearer, wnen asK
ed what style it was, one man re
marked "that is the high cut".
Robeson County Fair.
Judging from the general talk heard
by the reporter, the county fair,
which will be held in Lumberton No
vember 6, 7, 8 and 9, is going to be
a big fair onethat will make folks
sit up and take notice. The fair is
going to be largely attended. As a
man remarked recently, "this is not
a Lumberton fair, but a Robeson
county fair", and the people of every
nook and corner of the county should
be interested in the fair. Every far
mer in the county should have some
thing on exhibition. Prizes have been
offered for all sorts of farm products,
cattle and poultry. Have something
on exhibition at the fair and by all
means bring your family to see the
exhibits.
.
"Cuss" Somebody or Something.
The reporter is often asked why
doesn't the paper "cuss" somebody
out about some certain thing. These
same people want the paper to take
the responsibility of "cussing" some
body. They would not be willing to
write an- article about the same mat
er and sign their name to it.
They're Sorry Now.
The reporter has seen one farmer
who was not smiling about 25-cent
cotton. While talking to that farm
er it was learned that he had engag
ed his cotton at 18 cents the pound.
Quite a number of farmers in the
county engaged their cotton at that
price. It s hard, but tair.
H: ?
Don't Borrow Your Neighbor's Paper.
Several Robesonian subscribers have
complained to the reporter that their
neighbors don't take The Robeson
ian, but are so anxious to read it that
often before they have time to read
it themselves a neighbor has carried
it away. Now isn't that bad? Such
folks impose on their neighbors and
are unfair to the publishers of the
paper. Subscribe for yourself and
don't bother your neighbor.
DOMESTIC END OF FAIR
Ladies Will Have Special Displays
That Will Open Folk's Eyes
One Day Will be Set Aside as
Children's Day.
Correspondence of The Robesonian.
The domestic science end of the
fair at Lumberton this time seems
to be having, the attention
of the ladies more than ever. Already
many have expressed the desire to
have special displays from what
theysay will open the eyes of many
people. Everybody knows that when
the ladies get behind an entertain
ment of any kind they are determin
ed not to be beat.
This department will be under the
management of Mrs. A, S. King,
who will gladly give all the infor
mation any one will wish. The ar
rangements of the communitv booths
will represent a midway in itself of
all kinds of fancy work, canned fruits
and vegetables, old curosities that
were made lone aero. This will be in
teresting to many just to see these
ancient things that our forefathers
and mothers made and wore.
It is now guesswork as to who will
be the lucky one when the premiums
are awarded. Who will have the lart?
est pumpkin, largest turnip, the long
est ear oi corn ana the best tobacco?
iou should see the nremium list.
It is now expected to set aside one
day, probably Wednesday, November
7th, as children's dav. and all school
children will be admitted on that day
for half price. That-is only 5 cents,
but there must not be lesa than ten
in a crowd. We will have special
snows ior tnem that day.

HAIG LAUNCHES BIG DRIVE

Press Summary, Oct. 5. '.
The anticipated renewal of Field
Marshal Haig's big offensive in
Flanders has begun and all the ob
jectives of the first day have been
wmi and held.
As in the receding attacks the lat
pst one was timed to the minute. The
British forces at the given signal at
davlieht swarmed from their trenches
over ground that had been harrowed
by myraids of shells from the great
array of artillery and all along the
front of more "than eight miles from
south of Tower Hamlets to the north
of Langemarck they made notable
new gains of terrain, inflicted heavy
casualties on the Germans, while
themselves suffering slieht losses and
took many prisoners, large n
of whom gladly surrendered i
large numbers
m order
to reach a haven of safety from the
maelstrom.
The attack was delivered with all
the dash of previous offensives and

MRS. PHILLIPS TAKES
IRON IF BLOOD IS BAR
Suffered Two Years With Pella-r
Couldn't Walk About the Houe
Iron Built Her Up
TELLS WHAT KIND
OF IRON TO TAKK
Evcryone's energy, vitality and gen
eral good health depends so much up
on the condition of their blood, ans
the normal functioning of the vital or
gans of the stomach, kidneys, liver
ana wweis, me sugmesi irregularity
should be corrected immediately
Anyone troubled with their blood
for instance, is sure to sooner or lat
er experience uric acid pains, weak,
lame back; lost strength; nervous
ness; headaches; dizzy spells, or some
other kindred symptoms, and iron has
become so well known as the one best
remedy everybody should use it. The
question is, in what form? Iron i
put up by the chemist in pills, liquid
solutions, and mixed with all sorts of
elements including, in some cases al
together too much alcohol for the
good of the system.
The cheapest, strongest, most effic
ient remedy is plain, natural iron,
highly concentrated, and bottled just
as nature intended it should be tak
en. It is called Acid Iron Mineral, is
sold by druggists in fifty-cent and dol
lar bottles. It goes from 2 to 6 timc
as far. It will help the digestion
stomach, kidneys, and blood. If the
bowels are inactive a good liver pill
like the A-I-M Liver Pill at 25c for
a generous size box is recommended
People with normal bowels should not
use iron formed in combination with
laxatives. Altogether too many rem-
I! -
eaies contain purgatives.
To indicate how quickly Acid Irot
Mineral will cleanse the blood and
tone up the general system and renew
the wasted strength the statement of
Mrs. N. E. Phillips of Kershaw, S. C,
is quoted below:
"I . began to be troubled with my
bowels, stomach and blood a little
over two years ago. It finally turn
ed into pellagra and at the end of
that two years suffering I couldn't
even walk about the house. Mrs. El
la Hunter suggested I take Acid Iror.
Mineral and after taking it six weeks
and using but four small bottles, I
am up and about doing my work and
gaining, in strength every day. It
has done me more good than anything
I have ever tried and am glad indeed,
to recommend it to anyone who needs
a good tonic or for pellagra or stom
ach trouble.
A teaspoonful of Acid Iron Min
eral in a glass of drinking water af
ter meals makes an unusual, power
ful, economical and delightfully in
vigorating tonic, appetizer, blood and
kidney remedy.
A large dollar bottle if druggist
hasn't it will be sent' prepaid on re
ceipt of price by the Ferrodine Chem
ical Corp. Roanoke, Va.
