Red Springs. N. c., July 22.-Every-
body in Robson county now is getting
ready for the Home Coming Week"
to be held here August 21st-26th.
From this big county hundreds of good
men and women have gone into other
counties and States to make their for
tunes, but they have never forgotten
the mother county or been forgotten
by it. Now and then they come back
to the old mother, but see only few
relatives and close friends. Since
they went away, the RobersonianS who
have remained at home have made
mighty strides in every direction
mainly in improved methods of farm
ing, education, temperance, business
acumen. We are now ucing more
in manufacturing, and developing in
every way that brains and industry
can develop. Naturally the home folks
want the ROberSonianS who have gone
into other places to see how they have
gone forward and to rejoice with them
in their prosperity In accordance with
that desire We have invited all living
Robersonians, at home and abroad, 10
come here in Home Coming Week.
August 21-26, and enjoy good old
fashioned North Carolina neighborlY
good time While this is to be SPECIAL
ly a great time for RoberSonianS, it is
to be a good time for all North Caro-
linians, and an invitation is extended
to all to come here and help US make
the occasion a notable one.
Red Springs knows how to care for
great crowds. Thousands have pee9
entertained here ln the past at Chatau-
quaS and Institutes and We Will give a
good time to all who honor us on this
greatest occasion in the history OF
Robson county.
