Strangers will come through the
Mount" and because the cotton
weed is not so high, they say it's
no good; but there are plenty of
hills not more than a foot and a
half high with fifty we'll matur-
led bolls on them. If the farm
ers here would use enough fertil-
izers to make the weed like black
lands do, it would make two bales
to the acre, if it had bolls ac-
cording to size like it does.
And in regard to educational
advantages, | would like to say
a few words. Ten years ago we
had the sorriest school building
in, Twill say, Britt's township
and as sorry as in the great
county Of Robson; but today we
have the incest district school
building in Robeson county and
the greatest advancement of all
is in the number of children.
When | first began to go to
school you could see about a dOz-
en- children, and now when | go
| see seventy-fiVe and eighty,
But, after all, I don't know that
there are any more children than
there was then; they just attend
school better.

body on the road very often

! We would like to say a few
words in regard to the improve
ments in farming and other
things in the last few years
around Mt. ELAN. We cannot re-
member, but about fourteen years
ago-not that much-people,
the best farmers, would not make
more than a dozen loads of corn
to an ox-not a horse and now
they make fifty loads on the same
l land; where they made one bale
of cotton then they make ten or
7 fifteen bales to the same piece of
= land now; then the farmers did
not know anything about tobac-
co and today it is the greatest
money crop of our country.
Just see the improvements
: in farming; and it does
not take half the work tC

what they did then. The melor
