Progtess Made In Bladen Oth er News Notes from White Oak. The school has holiday to-day on account of Faster. The chil dren enjoyed an Faster egg hunt Saturday afternoon. All the schools have closed now after successful terms, for the most part. Practically every district in Bladen county had four months school this year, a thing which has not occurred for years before, if it ever has. Now is the time to begin the agitation for a six months school term. It must come. W hat can you do to bring it about? Longer school terms and better roads must come and they will come. But every individual man must believe that they are coming, and set to work to make them come. Nothing worth the while has ever come without intelligent effort put forth tor it. Some of the sportsmen have been doing good nshing at Sike's Mill pond lately. Dr. Lucas and G. 11. Smith are good anglers, but Dr. Bolton beats old Uaak himself. Mr. George I.ennon, of Lum berton, was here one day lat week on business. Kosmi Khozra, the picture tak er, from Fayetteviile, was in this part of the country last week in the interest of his business. Dr. Lucas says that there is less sicKness m tma community low than there has been before since he has been practicing here. He ought to know. Mr. Dowd preached an Easter sermon of unusual ability at Bethlehem yesterday, to a large anu appreciative audience, air.
