LUMBERTON, N- C„ THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1980. . comm. «o» and nun. nrAiunn im men ms cams Lumberton-Dublin Road Is Slated For Early Completion ( Miles Finished and Balance Will be Reconstructed Next Spring— Work Now Under Way and Pro jects Planned for Early Construc tion Will Give Robeson Good Road Mileage. / Approximately six miles of the road from Lumberton to Dublin have been completed by State highway forces and it is proposed to recon struct the road from Dublin to the Robeson county line next spring and complete the entire stretch between these pointB, with favorable weather conditions. So Mr. W. A. McGlrt, third dis trict State highway commissioner, has' advised Dr. Russel S. Beam, chairman of a Lumberton Kiwanis dob committee appointed some time ago to act with an Elizabethtown com mittee in taking up with Commis sioner McGirt the matter of improv ing the road from Lumberton to Eli zabethtown by way of Dublin, the direct route. In reporting what the committee has done at the Kiwanis lunch Tuesday, Dr. Beam said that the Elizabethtown committee also had written Mr. McGirt and that it would • not be aifciss for Lumberton people to write Aim m regard to it. It is hardly probable, Dr. Beam, said, that this; road will be hard-surfaced, but it will be made a good sand-clay *rtoad, as good as the very excellent road from Lumberton to Clarkton, which will answer every purpose. Commissioner McGirt writes that work under way and other projects planned for early constauction will place Robeson county far in the lead of other counties in the matter of road-building. His letter to Dr. Beam follows: “Your letter of November 20th, enclosing copy of resolutions and dipping from the Lumberton Robe sonfan, relative to condition of State highway on route 23, leading from Lumberton to Dublin in Bladen coun ty, received. “We were mindful of the fact that this road needed attention, and we ♦ have already provided some funds for'the improvement of same. Your commissioners have urged the early construction of the road from Lum berton to Fayetteville, Lumberton to Fairmont, and Lumberton to Red Springs. The road from Lumberton to Rowland is now under contract for hard-surface, and progress is be-j , ing made for the construction of the road from Lumberton toward Fay-; etteviile. A contract was recently let! to grade the road on route 20, from! Lumberton to Boardman. “In addition to the above, State; forces are now working on the roadj from Lumberton to Dublin, and have completed approximately six miles of this link. We have definite plans to reconstruct the road from Dublin; to the Robeson county line, next, spring, and complete the entire! stretch with favorable weather con-; ditions. “With this work under way, and other projects planned for early con-1 Btruction, will place Robeson county j far in the lead of other counties in the matter of road building. You must bear in mind that there are nine districts in the State demand ing new projects, and eight counties in this district that are demanding their share of construction projects. All of these demands cannot be met in one year, and we are compelled toj distribute our work as evenly as pos-! sible; taking into, consideration the counties of this district, as well as the counties comprising the other road districts of the^ State. “I thank you for your letter and resolution, and you may rest assured that your request will be given con sideration, and that the work will be continued on route 23, as long as weather conditions will permit.” Receiver's Certificates. Receiver Malcomb S. McConihe states that receiver’s certificates for those having claims against the de funct First National bank are ready for distribution, and it is necesary to # have a certificate to participate in any dividends that might te declared in the closing of the .affairs of the bank. A dividend is expected to be paid before Christmas, or \ePy soon afterwards. Dr. Durham At Tar Heel. Dr. Chas. H. Durham, pastor of the First Baptist church at Lumberton will deliver a lecture at the Baptist church in Tar Heel next Sunday af ternoon at 2:30. His lecture will be relative to his trip to Palestine 2 years ago, and will be most interest ing.

Next Sunday—Much Interest—Rev. J. M. Duncan Will Speak in Lum berton Sunday P. M. By J. A. Floyd. Fairmont, Dec. 2.—The revival in progress at the First'Baptist church is increasing in interest each day. Rev. J. M. Duncap, who is doing the preaching, is endearing himself to our community as a man of God, and is preaching sermons of unusual power. Brother Duncan is a man who bolds up Jesus as able to save and to keep, reminding his congregation that Jesus said, “AH power is given unto me in heaven and in earth,” and says that this power is ours as Chris* tians just in porportion as we live in accordance with the Divine will. The cooperation and attendence of all is desired during the remaining services, which are expected to last thru next Sunday, and we wish to ask the prayers of all the Christian j people that God will honor the preach* | ing of His word and that many souls! may be saved. In Lumberton Sunday P. M. Brother Duncan has promised to; speak in Lumberton next Sunday af ternoon, Dec. 6th, at 2 p. m. under the auspices of and at the invitation of the Men's Christian league, on the subject of “God’s program, and how the Devil Blocked It.” It will be well worth your time "to come out for this service. We are expecting Brother Betts, who is a forceful Gos pel singer, to be present also. Lumberton Hunters Will Go to Cur rituck. I Two bunches of Lumberton hunters are going to hie them in relays of half dozen each to Currituck and kill all the ducks. They’ve been hearing about ducks down there and some of them wept last December, so they’ve decided to go. Rev. T. McM. Grant, pastor of Chestnut Street Methodist church, started the boys off last year, going with a bunch of them, and this year so many have wanted to go that it was necessary to divide them into squardons and platoons and companies. Saturday morning Messrs. G. B. Kirkman, W. Wi. Davis, L. C. Townsend, Johnnie and Eddie Mc Neill will leave here for Currituck and at Kinston will pick up Mr. Grant, who. is going today or Friday to that place with Mrs. Grant and little Miss Ruby, who has just re covered from a serious attack of flu. The hunters expect to reach Cur rituck Saturday night, will rest Sun day, and Monday morning will go forth to slaughter, returning to Lum berton about the middle of the week. Early nex^ week Messrs. J. L. Steph ens, M. A. Geddie, R. H. Crichton, L. W. Wicker, G. M. Tucker and John McLean will leave for the same hunt ing waters. Mrs. Grant and Miss Ruby will re main with relatives at Kinston while Mr. Grant is away. —Rev. and Mrs. N. L.
