FARMERS & MERCHANTS BANK OF FAIRMONT CLOSED THIS A. M. Ordered Closed by State Bank Ex aminers—Had $15,000 Bad Paper of Defunct Commercial National of Wilmington—!n Business Since Last July. The Farmers & Merchants Bank of Fairmont was ordered ciosed this morning by State bank examiners after examination of the liabilities and assets of the young institution, of which Mr. E. G. Jones of Fairmont was president and Mr. R. H. Cud dington cashier. The direct cause of the bad condi tion of the bank is attributed to $15, 000 worth of bad paper bought from the Commercial National Bank of Wilmington, which closed a few ! months ago, according to an interview with Mr. Cuddingtop. The bank was organized last July and had been doing a fair business, handling a good bit of the co-opera tive cotton and tobacco money during the past season Its financial state ment at the close of business in De cember 1922 showed that it had on deposit subject to check $47,407.94 and time certificates of deposit $2, 649.26, while loans and discounts amounted to $44,184.75, with a capi tal stock of $20,000. Mr. Thos. Cooper of Wilmington is vice-president of the bank and was arrested Tuesday on a warrant issued by a bank in Apex charging fraud, lhis had nothing to do with the clos ing of the Fairmont institution, ac cording to Mr. Cuddington's state ment.

CURB MARKET WILL REMAIN ON FIFTH STREE1 By Martha F!ax Andrews, Home De monstration Agt. In Monday's issue of The Robeson rnn I stated that the curb market would move back on the Court house square. I wish to change that pian to day a.nd have the market remain in the o!d church buiiding on Fifth street due to the fact that by order of the county commissioners the Court house square cannot be used for any pubiic gatherings. The hour wiii be changed to 9 o' clock and we expect to have a special sale Saturday of spring -hickensf veg etables and cakes. Sa yThis Ain't Early for Cotton Blos som. Mr. Frank Wishart of Lumberton K. d was a Lumberton visitor this morning and was showing a 1923 cot ton blossom. When asked just where he found the blossom he explained that it had voluntarily come up under the house in which he lives. Old Landmark WiM Be Replaced By Modem Building SeeMtd Oldest Building in Lumberton Reduced to Rubbish Heap at Cor net of Cheat not and Fifth—Erected 80 or 9$ Years Ago and First Used as Bank. OLDEST BUILDING STANDS AT CORNER OF ELM AND SIXTH A rubbish heap which is being cleared sway to make room for a mo dern store and office building which Mr , Stephen McIntyre will erect on the comer of Chestnut and Fifth streets is all that remains now of what a few days ago was the second oldest building in Lumberton. It, is hard to arrive at definite facts, out tradition has it that that nearly square brick building was erected 80 or 90 years ago as a branch of the old Bank of Cape Fear of Wilming ton. Mr. O. C. Norment, who is 85 years, 2 months and 4 days old today and is the oldest native-born citizen of Lumberton, thinks it was first used as a bank, but he does not think the building was as old as some others think. In a lottery of lots in October, 1800, Neill McNeill drew ticket No. 79, which entitled him to a half acre on a corner of which this building later was erected. The lottery was conducted by Elias Barnes, Samson Bridgers and Jacob Rhodes. Records in the court house show that this lot has been owned successively by the following: Wm. L. Miller (1829), Duncan McRae, J. A. Rowland, Mal colm C. McNeill, (1849), Jno. A. Barnes (1851), Jno. W. Rogers, Robt. E. Troy, S. E. Ward, Mrs. Susan Freeman (mother of Messrs. H. C.) and Ed. Freeman), Belle Freeman, H. C. Freeman and S. McIntyre, the last-named purchasing a part of the original lot from Mr. H. C. Freeman. Thd* records of transfers is not al together complete. In the deeds the lot is described as bounded on the) north by the Columbus road, on the south by the jail lot, and on the west by the "public square" in the earliest deeds and in later deeds by the "court house' square. Mr. O. C. Norment^ remembers when the jail stood on the lot to the south of this building, which was once used as a law office by Alexander McLean, a great uncle of Messrs. A. W. and A. T. McLean of Lumberton, and Robt. E. Troy, the firm name being McL%#! & Troy, the building being owned by the latter. McLean and Troy were among the founders of the Presby terian church of Lumberton and both were elders in that church. McLean was a prominent lawyer and was so licitor for a time. McLean's death was caused, it might be said, by "gold on the chest". It is an interesting story. He went to) Texas to settle an estate to which some of his clients fell heir. He per formed his mission successfully and j collected the proceeds in gold. Travel ing by stage coach and horseback, he concealed the gold by strapping it around his chest. This metal on his! chest is thought to have been the cause of his contracting pneumonia,' with which he was confined at Mobile, j Ala.; for some time. He finally got i well enough to come home, but he never recovered from the effects and died shortly thereafter, in 1856, ati the age of 36 years, of pleurisy. His remains were interred at what was j known as Allendale, then in Robeson} but now in Hoke county. t*ut to return to the old brtck landmark: This house was lathed and plastered on the inside and as! at first constructed the roof was of; tin and nearly flat. Several additions ^ were made to the roof, and the chim ney plainly showed successive addi tions. Between 35 and 40 years ago a frame addition was built on the side. Mr. H. C. Freeman is under the im pression that the original building was erected by the late G. P. Higley, but others are inclined to think that he is mistaken about that. Some time after the death of Mr. Troy the building was used as a school room by Mr. Troy's widow. Mrs. O. C. Norment and Mr. Geo. M. Whitfield, and perhaps others now living in Lumberton, remember that! as the first building in which they! went to school. It was later used as' a resilence and in recent years has been used for various kinds of shops. It is interesting to note in this con- i nection that the oldest building in Lumberton is the brick building on the comer of Elm and Sixth streets occupied by the law offices of Messrs. McIntyre, Lawrence & Proctor. Mr. Jas. D. Proctor, who has delved deep er into the ancient history of Lum berton than^anybody else, says that according to the best information he has been able to get this building !was erected in 1820 or 1824 by Dr. Rhodes, father of the Jacob Rhodes mentioned above as one of the men who conducted the lottery of town lots. The building is still in a good state of preservation. Mr. McIntyre will erect on the site of the building that has just been tom down a 2-story store and office building with walls sufficient for ad dition of a third story. It will cost *18,000 or *20,000. Messrs. McIntyre, Lawrence & Proctor will have their offices on the second floor, so they will move out of the oldest building St. Paul News Mr.. S. M.

While considerably better than she was some months ago, Miss Caro ! line was denied the pleasure of visit ing several old acquaintances while I here on account of rheumatism which jshe suffers occasionally.
