Correspondence of The Robesonian
Your correspondent from
Proctorville has been silent 50
long that it seems his pen must
be broken, but he has de-
cided to come again. Many
changes have taken place since
we last wrote ard many improve
ments been made in our town.
Mr.. T. F. Barnes is placing
new goods in his new store
building and will be open soon /
with a nice line of general mer-
chandise. Mr.. W. J. Walters
has also opened up a nice line Of
groceries and is doing fine bust
ness.
Our new depot building is just
completed and will have an
agency established here at an
early date.
Barnes & Price are now MAX
ing 10 to Is thousand brick daily
and will be able to supply the de-
mand for brick again some time
soon.
The farmers who visit our
town are all wearing pleas
ant faces. Thew tell us tobacco
l is curing nicely, cotton and corn
, promising we'll and altogether
4 this bids fair to be a prosperous
= year for the the honest tillers Of
). the soil.
e We heard last spring that there
. was panic, but it never reach
: ed our town and people. Our
: people are Industrious, truthful
e and honest; we don't have time
d to talk "hard times" politics,
4 etc. We just go ahead, do the
n best we can, enjoy the good
r thing a kind Providence sends
n us and depend on the All Wise
\. Ruler to give us more.
= IL We now have two phone lines
y into our town, which are great
~ cOnveniences to our people.
I Mr.. S. S. Rozier, of Baltimore,
W was on our streets a few days
~ since. While in town he bought
Q four business lots. We expect
p him to erect a handsome bricE
q, store on the corner of Main anC
n Carolina streets.
n. We were glad to see our ole
8 friend, w. R. Surles, who spen
/. Monday night in Proctorville. H,
h, is doing some fine business witt
is our new merchants.
.st We heard a resident of Proc
n torvilIe, who has lived in seve1
he counties of two different States,
es say that he had rather live her
tn than anywhere he has ever live
yet, and we were compelled t.
IT. respond "amen."
er We enjoy reading Aunt Becky
ne Big Foot, Happy Jack, and, i
a fact, all your correspondents
i'd They keep us in touch with oil
ng friends all over the county.
We understand that K. Barnc
DOL and J. P. Price have sold aboU
twenty five lots to different pal
no, ties quite recently. At this rat
Gr. all the lots in ProctOrville wi
I'M soon be sold. We advise that the
IDS hold some for the advance
lue Property will surely advanc
me rapidly here real soon, for W
W. have the best location for tow
I'VE in the State. Good water, GOO
the transportation facilities, goo
Gc- farming country all around, GOO
of people, Our people are 6
ere healthy, not a death in tow
ar in two years. Our populate
of rapidly increasing. New indu
ght tries springing up, and old ont
Ar. taking on new life. Surely OF
ay- town is just entering upon a ne
lay era of wonderful progress al
me growth. Nine new resident al
B. business buildings will soon
tn started and several more in co
I'M temptation. However there
lib some room left yet and we CO
daily invite all good citizens
