Correspondence of The Robesonian.
1t has been so long since we
wrote anything for the public eye
that we are at a loss what not to
say. There has been such a long
time passed that to attempt to
mention the names of all who
have visited in and out of the
community would result in fail
ure, and so we will not try to
report for any time past more
than just a few days.
Crops have been doing we'll
until the past ten days. The hot
weather, or something else, is
causing cotton to shed it's leaves
and corn to turn yellow near
the ground. Up to the 10th inst.
we do not think we ever saw
cotton look better and corn was
good, too. Corn is needing rain
just now.
We notice that there is some
needed work being done between
here and Red Springs and some
on the Wire road in
Blue Springs township, level
ling the road bed and cutting
down the bushes, briars and
weeds, which adds greatly to the
looks, and hope when it has
time to get packed will help; but
there is Que thing that is much
needed this hot weather on all
roads that it has been our pleas
ure to travel-there are very few
places where stock can be water
ed without getting a bucket or
other vessel and hauling the
water for some distance. Does
| not our Robson county road law
make it the duty of some of the
road officials to see that there
are suitable watering places
provided at convenient points?

enjoying part of his annual va
!. cation since the 18th inst.
We learn that the STANDARD

!, The prices of truck have beer
4 so low this season that there il
F not much left after the expence
i are paid, if the balance is no
s against the producer. This i
h a good section for truck, whel
il the prices are right. We hav
7 the right kind of soil and ship

n n and it is our opinion that tn
= growers should not let the low
n prices of this season preven
h their planting some truck.
