f AGE TWO THE ROBESONIAN THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 1C!8 THE STRONGEST BUSINESS ALLY During war time is the hearty cooperation of a responsible financial institution. As a member of the Federal Reserve system, this Institution brings all of the benefits and protection of this pow erful financial dynamo to the business interests of this community. We are ready to lend every aid consistent with our well-established policy of responsible banking. National Bank of Lumberton A. W. McLEAN, President. Largest Bank In This Section. H. L. NEWBOLD, Cashier. I '"" SEEN AND HEARD (BY HAPPY JACK.) Soldier Who Acts Right is Treated Right. "A soldier who acts right is treated right" That's the way a Robeson county soldier who had been at a training camp several months put it up to me recently. There is no doubt that he has it down right. A Good Plan. Speaking of the habit of having merchandise "sent up," a Lumberton merchant told me that one well-to-do Lumberton lady takes a basket on her arm when she goes "a shopping" and carries the groceries and other things she purchases home herself. It is true that many ladies asks merchants to "send up" packages that only cost 5 cents. It is said that in many cities and towns merchants have stopped de livering merchandise and in order to keep Lumberton merchants from adopting this plan it would be well not to impose upon them too much. Train Waited for a Man to Get Shave. Did you ever have a train held for you to get a shave? I asked a con ductor on the Seaboard passenger train from Charlotte Saturday why he was waiting so long after the passengers were aboard. "Waiting for a man to get a shave," he advised me. He then explained that the man had been in formed at the station that the train would be later than it really was and he would have time to get a shave. The man for whom the train was wait ing soon showed up wearing a clean face. Ready and Willing to Go. "I am 47 years old, but if I can be of any help in the army I am ready and willing to go," said a Robesonian Saturday. He continued. "A man who is not willing to go to the front now is not willing to take the part of his own child." How does that hit you ? False Rumors. Some rumors in regard to Robeson county soldiers deserting the army rumors that were as false as could be and other rumors that axe untrue in regard to the war have been spread by certain citizens during the last few weeks. One man who had been aid ing in the spread told me that he had been threatened with indictment for telling that a Robeson county soldier was sentenced to be shot for deser tion. "I heard it and told it," he said. Since that time I note that th'-re is talk of a law being: nagged to rvnnieri these who spread false reports in re gard to soldiers and the war in gener al. This should be a warning to sor.:e Robesonians. Be sure you are right before you talk. GADDYSVILLE GRIST. Passing of an Old-Time Darkie To bacco Getting Many Out of Debt Crops Are Looking Well Co-Oper-ation is Solving Labor Shortage Other Matters of Interest. J Correspondence of The Robesonian. Gaddysville (Fairmont, R. 1), Aug 10. In the passing of "Aunt" Mollie McQueen our section loses one of its old time ante-bellum darkies. Aunt Mollie lived to be about 92 vears old and was highly honored by all the foks and stood by them. She lived on Mr J. R. Barnes' farm, having moved there over 42 years ago, and "Tid a fam, of industrious and law-abiding children of which the maioriv still fnr r t p . vii mi, Dames farm. It is said that Aunt Mollie was the most obedient servant while in bondage, and when freedom came for her race she still stuck through the dark days to her white friends. She was a consistent member of the Pres byterian church, and always took a reat part in the services. Truly one has gone forward that will be missed and is resting beneath the shade of entianife after a long UsefuI influ" Tobacco prices are still pleasing and iots of the planters are out of debt and have some yet to sell.
