PARKTON UfeMS The Great Celebration at Lumber B.dge Vfeit of Trophy Train ( "Lumberton Will Pun the R;al - Stunt on the lOth.". - - - ; . Correspondence of The Robesonian- ! Parkton, Mav 2 S" manv dons thia week, we hardly 'know where to start. ' . ... . - -.. Of all the days of my life. Wednes day at Lumber Bridge wa& the climax. Early, in the morning .people com menced passing in autos, on horse back, in buggies, carriages and oth erwiseall billed for Lumber Bridge. I shalinot attempt to mention much of the program, as it has already been mentlonea in The : Robesonian. but I know of no such place for a real picnic or home-coming. Of course Lumber Bridge does not deserve all the honor, as the other 3 townships dif their part and did it well; but the good people of Lumber Bridge went their length. The most ideal picnic grounds in the State. Never in the history of the present generation was such a bountiful spread enjoyed. The automobile floats were most attract ive. To my taste, 'Mr. E.-Kv Camp bell's of Parkton was m the lead. The large jitney of Mr. A. J. Garris, which contame dthe Ked Cross nurses and wounded soldiers, was beautiful. Mr. A, W. Wright was engineer for 'the cession. Mr. Pete Chason of Lumber Jridgewoiitbte . .JaurelawithvJbii. black pohy all dressed up with red, white and blue; while Willie Cobb, Jr., carried the large flag in honor of the veterans. Thera were a number of fine saddlers in the parade. The one owned by Maj. J. B- Malloy and ridden by Mr- P. H. Fisher of Parkton was a iftodei. Chief Marshal Dr D S Cu rie Was there with the goods; riding his new Kentuckian, .which is a beauty, two hands higher. Mr. Charlie Stan While, this scribe rode in the saddle tom's saddler of 17 hands tall ,ook-fll the street and a 10-acre cotton patch. Just, can't mention all the good saddlers- as there, were many. -. . , The orator of the day, Hon. Came ron ,Morrisonr odr next Governor, livered one of the moat satisfactory speeches ever heard in this v section. He never failed to make old company L feel hanpy. He said that their her oism would go down in history, and sucn men as Lieut. McGoogan would be the greatest men of this genera tion. The speaker was heartily ap plauded a number of times. In speak ing of the world war and how. rapid ly the u. S. prepared herself and in only a short while equipped, trained and sent oversea!' 2 million men. and when the, armistice was signed 2 mil lion more were in readiness; and the money was never lacking for any thing, and none of us was the worse ofpoprer, but on the other hand were much better off. He spoke of how ea sy it is to get money these days ev en a lawyer could borrow money now. A chicken now, he said, is worth as much as a turkey used to bring, and a turkey is worth- as much as a hog used to.be and a hoe is worth as much tas' a coHsed to be. a cow as much as mule used to be; and the last time he heard of a mule he had done passed by a Ford. He urged the teo. pie to go immediately to- the 'banks and buy Victory ; Liberty bonds, and assist in. the winding up of the late war and not be counted slackers. .The afternoon was given up most ly to sociability and hand-shaking, and .enjoying the good music by the Fayetteville band of a dozen pieces. Today at 12:30 when , the Govern ment; trophy train rolled into our town something like two thousand people, men, women and children, in cluding, babies, white, Indian and col ored, were sightseers,, and the amount of $12,000 , of "bonds ; was sold 'n a few minutes. It was so-exciting that the Parkton band only had. time to render one selection.; The brief speeches by the men on the train were heart-rendering and appealed directly fiythe individual, and the people could sot mane tneir way to and through the cars as they desired for the crowd and rush. ?-This brings us to realization of the fact, as we have heard numbers of people already express it. that. Lumberton will pull the real stunt on tbje 10th, when they will celebrate in honor of the soldiers of the entire county- We were pleased to meet our beloved editor, and wife, Mr. and Mrs. J. A Sharpe, of Lumberton. here to day. This section is now thoroughly advertised for the-county home-corn, ing the 10th, and everybody that can go should go and do the boys honor.

Fdr over an hour the crowd poured through the closed car that held the "machine guns, rifles, bayonets, mines, torpedoes and other infernal machines devised by an in fernal people. Still when the time was up probably a third of the people had not had an opportunity of getting in and were turned awav disaDnointed. About half the 2 hours' allotment-of time was taken uo with a drive for the Victory Liberty Loan, and it ' seems a pity that the collega and graded school pupils couldn't have gone through while this was taking) place, thus, saving time and riving f the possible bond buyers a better chanqe later.

The threat ening weather prevented much of a procession from here and Maxton, and few decorated cars on Wednes day, and owing to the same reason only, a small percentage of the people saw the pageant in Fayetteville, .as the opera house couldn't near hold the crowd.
