back to Mcshaw's house and saw him
and Henry Stephens at the supper
table. A dog barked, and Stephens;
went out through the back door to
woods, making good his escape. Me

Visitors From Oklahoma
Reported for The Robesonian: Mr.
artd Mrs. E. T. Tayior of Oklahoma
City are visiting friends and relatives
for the first time since they went to
Oklahoma about 20 years ago. They
were accompanied by their four
younger children—two sons and two
daughters. Their many friends are
delighted to see them, for they were*
very popular young people .and we all
hated to see them go away.

BOYS ON ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT
(By C. D. Wjlhamson)
Parkton, July 6.—Prof. W. E. Whis
nant of Woodland, N. C., the newly
eieeted principal of the Parkton
school, and Airs. Whisnant arrived in
town Friday and spent the week-end
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Collier
Cobh. The new professor and wife
has already made a profound impres
sion on ali who have formed their ac
quaintance, and here's hoping they
may laid a warm welcome m the
homes of all our people and that the
right one has been elected, and plans
for a new school term may immed
iately be perfected. Prof. Whisnant
and wife expect to keep house, but
we are not able to say just at pres
ent which house.
The fourth went off very quietly in
our town; not much doing, the farm
ers all busy, and most of them say
their plows ran on full time. Several
of our people were out-of-town visi
tors, a large number at White Lake,
and today suffer from the heat of the
hot sun. Some went up to Lake Rim,
and report a great time. The writer
in company with his brother, A. B.,
and our two small sons, Lewis and
Donovan, motored up io Sanford to
attend the 23rd annual Rural letter
Carriers convention, and it can easily
and truthfully be said the 1926 was!
the best of ail conventions. Sanford's !
hospitality could not be beaten, or ex
celled. It seems to the writer a shame
that some rural carriers have failed
to report their dues paid up-to-date.
Boys, if you care not to attend, for
your sake and for the cause you rep
resent, pay your dues, and not be;
registered as a slacker.
