Pa0Fons-AmOn0 the Sick.
Correspondence of The Robesonian.
1t has been some time since
we attempted to write anything
for publication and now We have
not much real news. The sick
in this section do not improve,
We are sorry to have to state.
Mrs. Cobb is still living but is
in a critical condition. Since we
wrote last her son, Rev. T. ].
Cobb, of Statesboro, Ga, has
been to visit her and Mrs. Nc
Lean and children and Mr.. s.
W. Cobb, of Rowland, have been
to see her twice. Mrs. Mclean
is with her at this writing.
Little Donnie Klarpp had the
misfortune not long since OF
breaking his arm at the wrist,
or dislocating some Of the bones
at that joint, which was very
painful.
Mrs. D. o. Currie and children
spent a few weeks visiting in
Florida this winter, returning
about the 10th of January. She
reports a nice outing.
We learn that Mr.. L. E. Hughes
has ginned over 900 bales of cot
ton up tU date this ginning sea
son, and will gin some yet.
There have been several visit
ing in our community and out
of it since our last items we're
written, but we have lacked so
much of keeping up with them
that if we mentined those We re
mem Der we might offend others

t The roads are in bad condition
in our section, as well as others.
There has been some work done
on the Red Springs road in Red
Springs township that has help
ed some, though the mud is soft
+ in some places yet. The worst
J trouble, it seems to us, is the
bridges; some Of them are in
/ dangerous condition. There rs
/ dissatis faction with the presen'
! road system and we are not sure
> but your Proctorville scribe is
. about right. It. seems to us i
: would be we'll to divide the road!
into short sections and let then
E out to contract to be repaired
g and kept in order.
E AT this point our correspon
4 dent reproduces for publication
! q letter which the postmaste
j has received from the Fourth As
J., sistant Postmaster General il
}, regard to the practice Of patronI
D of rural delivery in placing loos
:. coins in their boxes. We call at
o tention to a similar letter pub
o lished in Thursdays Robesonian
y -ED1ToR.
j. This will not i'm pose any hard
ship on the patrons and will ens
y BILE the carriers to get aroun
J. their routes in a shorter time
t, We are surprised that there ha
If not been a ruling to this effeC
) before this. We have known
d much as one dollar, left in a ma
n box and just one post card t
stamp, and the patrons, some
r, them, think the carrier ougt
le to go around supplied Wit
&C change to accommodate them.

IN Mr.. Bryan, after lecturing u
ne Kentucky Legislature upon Il
Cd duty of a Representative to, Il
ri people. tells the leaders Of tI
re Democratic party to go to al
shut up, and also spanks t
