CITY FATHERS MEET.
rlany Matters of Importance Con-
sidered Last Night.

The city council met last night in
regular monthly session. W. r.
Badgett, j. r. Sheehan, Lucien w.
Burlington, Recorder Blakeney, DIR.
Oliver Bagby and Mayor Burlington,
were present. Numerous claims
against the city for service rendered
were presented, some allowed and
some "laid over" One of the prlnci-
pal topics discussed was that of public
schools; there seemed to be some diff
erence Of opinion as to the construc-
tion of the law governing in the mat
ter. 1t was finally decided to notify
the teacher Of the colored free school
on the east side to discontinue the
school until further orders. Mr.. Al
cock, of Chanute, Kansas, was present
accompanied by J. II. Arter of the
Cobb Hotel, who had proposition
with reference to an electric light
plant to offer. The committee which
had been considering the electric
light matter were not ready to make
final report and Communications, and
were given further time. In the
meantime Mr.. Alcock will interview
the merchants and business men of
the town as to number of lights that
could be disposed Of. The Recorders
minutes showed that OF outstanding
warrants against the defunct town Of
Downingville $932.2O had been regis
tered properly within the time pre-
scribed by ordinance, December 1st,
1888 and quite a considerable amount
had not been reported and was yet
outstanding, but was not to be paid as
it had not been registered according
to law. The time for the next cleo
tion will be the first Tuesday in April
and proclamation will be issued in
due time by the mayer ordering such
election.

SHERIFF G. b. M'LEOD,
A Leading and Prominent Citizen OF
I.Ilmberton

A Leading and Prominent Citizen OF
Lumberton.
In the selection of the sheriff of
county the voting citizens look for
man of dauntless courage and mus
cular strength and at the same time for
one who has sound judgment and can
keep a cool head under the most trying
circumstances.
The people of Robson have found
in Sheriff G. i. Mcleod a man who
fills these requirements in an eminent
degree.
Sheriff Mcleod is a native of Robe
son county and was born in 1860, the
son of A. II. and Emily S. Mcleod, who
are of Scotch descent. His education
was obtained at Lenoir, NC, under
Fossett and Dixon and later at Bingham

ago he was appointed sheriff of Robe
son by the county commissioners. In

jority. In the last campaign he again
entered the race and was reelected by
an overwhelming majority.

cratic Executive Committee and is
thorough advocate of Simon pure Dem
ocracy. He is a man of pleasing adj
dress and his friends are only limited
by the number of his acquaintances He

R. E. LEE.
Mayor of Union City and a Bright Young At
torney Who is Doing a Great Part
by his Town.

Prominent among the young attorneys
of the State and one of the leading and
progressive citizens of Union City we
take pleasure I'M mentioning Mr.. X. q.
Lee.
Our subject is a son of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. O. Lee and was born December 18th,
1875. Prepared for college at Ashpole
Institute. he entered Wake Forest Col
Iege in 1895 and was graduated from

About one year ago he moved to Union

Besides being mayor of his town he Is

CHURCHES AND SCHOOLS.
Two of the most necessary elements to
towns growth and progress are not
neglected or wanting in Union City.
There are two churches for the whites,
Methodist and Baptist, and one for the
colored people. These are we'll attended
on Sundays and are presided over by
splendid pastors. 1t has an excellent
academy of long and permanent stand
ing, which was established in 1870 by
Rev Stinson Ivey. a prominent educa-
tor whose reputation is too we'll known
to be spoken Of here. The citizens are

INDUSTRIES.
The cultivation Of tobacco, which is
now coming to be practiced on a large
scale in Robeson county is found to be
one of the most pleasant and lucrative
occupations for the farmer. The soil
Is splendidly suited to its culture and
the plant grows to an immense size with
little care or trouble in cultivation.
Union City now has in process of con
structi0n an immense tobacco ware
house which will furnish a local mar
ket for all tobacco produced in this sec
ton. The town has also two large
saw mills which are doing an extensive
business and lumber is shipped from
here to many of the large Northern cit
les. There is also n splendid telephone
system which connects with Marlboro,
and Marion counties. in South Carolina
and RObeson, Richmond and Cumber-
land counties in North Carolina. This
company is 4 home enterprise and stock
is owned in it by several Of the citizens
of the place. The Union City Land and
Improvement Company. Of which DR..
j. L. Brown is manager, has been form
cd for the improvement and upbuilding
of the place and is doing much towards
bringing in capital and new citizens.
There is no section Of State which is
better adapted to truck farming. This
is Il growing industry and when the new
railroad gives short and direct route
to Northern markets it will no doubt be
followed extensively and with great
profit. Through the influence of one of
the prominent citizens considerable
money has been invested in Union City
real estate, SO acres of land in the
heart Of the town. having been bought
up. which is now being sold off in lots
75x175 feet. S1G0 being the average
price paid for these.
Plans are on foot for the building of
a cotton and cotton seed oil mill here.
These are backed by a concern worth
considerable capital and it is little doubt
cd that the town will have both of these
in the near future.
No city in the State affords greater in
ducements for the investment Of capital
or holds out a more welcoming hand to
the newcomer.

A. ]. FLOYD,

Dealer in General Merchandise.
Among the mercantile houses in Union
City that OF A. j. Floyd easily ranks

this house for two reasons. Firsr, he,
cause Mr.. Floyd has grown up with the
town as a merchant and ny honest and

past he has built mp a splendid trade;
second, because his stock Of goods is the
most complete it being unnecessary for
a person who comes to town to do Il
days shopping to go any where else To
buy a single article. In his store will be
found anything in the grocery line
from a side of bacon down 10 a dozen
of eggs In the dry goods line anything
from a suit of clothes down to shoe
string. in hardware anything from Il
keg of nails down to n button hook. He
is not only able to furnish the neceSsa-
rics and luxuries Of life. but when life
is over he is able to aid in the last sad
rites by furnishing the coffin and burial
outfit. The growth Of his business since
its inception has been very remarkable
which gees to prove that the business is
conducted under the most capable man
agement. Mr. Floyd married Miss
Pittman, Of Robeson county, and four
sons have been born to them. He is
