Tbe Sandy Grove ^ennion.
We had a ^rand home coraiDg
at Sandy Grove church the 2Dd
Sunday in September. Quite a
good crowd congregated there,
Wfhicb gave*honor to'the occa
Sion.. The aged and the young
Burned to be filled with joy. The
old folkn enjoved rehearsing the
things of fifty or sixty years ago;
the young folks were joyous of a
bright future, All this made a
day of joy and happy greeting to
one and all. Kev. Dougald Mon
roe, who ip now in his 78th year,
and one the three brothers,
preachers, sons of the late Peter
Mpnroei all' raised in Sandy
‘Grove church, preached a-nice
sermon of 15 minutes. Then Mr.
Alexander, a former pastor,
talked 16 minutes, and then.the
^\3ommunion, which was a love
feast for us all. Oldtime singers
and ^Idtime songs were much
enjoyed by all.
Then for half an hour great
greetings and hand shakings;
many "^estiuns asked and an
awered. Howdy do! How are
you?, &c. The next thing a cal]
to a rough table male by the
k men, but it was laden with all
- good things prepared by the ar
tistic hand of the ladies and
there hunger ceased for at least
^ six hours. After this we were
again called back into the church
and for 15 minutes taking up the
good old songs. Then Hon. M
A. Patterson made a nice talfc t
and introduced Mr, W. J. Currie
of Maxton; who was ordained
a Ruling Elder of Sandy Grove
church February 1867, fifty six
years ago, so far as we know the

Now this was such a love feast
to all, 1 wish to make this sug-
gestion, that we fix the 2od Sun
day in Oct.each year for this jubi
lee as long as a^goodly number of
the old members are li ving. 1 say
October because, as a rule, it is
pleasant and not much rain.
Then to have definite time people
at a distance can be arranging
for twelve months ahead.
The meeting was dismissed by
singing: “God Be With You Till
We Meet Again.” all joining in
in fall chorus, which made us
feel as if we were in sight, of
heaven’s gates.

DecisioD Affirmed and Modified, j A/
The Robesonian.
In a decision written by Jus
tice Heriot Clarkson and handed
down by the Supferae court yes
terday the judgment of Judge
W; A. Devin at a hearing held in
lumberton last June 15 as to the
custody of 3 of the 4 children of
lev. I. N. Clegg of Rowland and
drs. Cl^gg, now living apart is
modified and affirmed. ‘
The custody of the children is
awarded to their father, but it
provided that they shall spend
some time each, froih June to
September, with their mother at
the home of her brother at Old
Port—that is, they shaipnot be
taken outside the State and the
; urisdiction of the court—that
vyhile the children are with eith
er Che father or the mother the
other shall have the right to vis
it them, and tp' the father is giv
en the expense of their mainte
nance, while the mother is re
quirted to give bond in the sum
of $5,000 when she takes the
children away from their fath
er’s home.
Fiibt Cloth Made in Robeson.

The first yard of cloth manu
factored in Robeson county was
turned out a few days ago on

The Made In Carolinas Exposi
lion in Charlotte Sept. 24th to
October 6th will be vvorth at
tending this year. Reduced
rates will be given on all rail
roads, and the highway from
Raeford to Charlotte is very
good, so we suppose a' great
many from this section will at
tend,. It is arranged to have
special features each day, or ev-
ry day is to be a big day.

Move From County to Coonty.
A full hospital equipment is

Carefully Examined.
No child will be operated on
until after having been carefully
exaTiined .by both physicians to
determine the actual necessity

not the child is in proper physi
cal condition at that time to be
treated.
The children are kept over
night after the operation and the
nurses are in constant atten
dance. Parents will be permit

thorizes the annoucement that
a fiat advance of $60 a bale will
be made on all cotton delivered

order of the Board of Directors
It takes the place of Ihe order
announcement of $50 a bale,
^embers that have already re
ceived the advance of $60 a bale
will receive clfecks for the aJdi
tional advance. The advance
applies to all bales weighing 400
pounds and more and on bales
weighing less than 400 pounds
the advance will be at the rate
of 12 cents a pound, ,basis

.dq moi^ths in the year. No
v^oqder many of4hem drop out
of never go under these condi
tions ^ „
It does look like if the Board
of Education realized what this
system of; schools is going to
mean to the country children
now and for years to come, they
would not even try to carry out
any such plan. It may cause
some of the best people to move
away from Hoke county and it
surely will pot be any induce
ment to other goodpeople w^h
want to educate their children to
come to this county. Because
other counties are establishing
their high schools in the consoH
dat^ districts, which is the real
object of consolidation, and sure
ly people are not coming to a
place where their children have
to be hauled all over the county
to get to s(ihool when they can
go to other places where fhey
will not have to go so far j
Perhaps the people'4i|i^ not
expressed their wishes to the
Board of Education in this mat
ter. If they have not they should
do so at once and ask them to
please give us our high scnools
in the county so that we may de
velop them and in a few years
maybe there will not only be one
but several accredited high
schools in Hoke county which" is
alrea^ “the garden spot of the
earth* in several respects.
