Correspondence of The Robesonian.
Mr.. |. V. Britt went to Fair
mont on business Wednesday.
Messrs. E. B. Stone and Mar
tial Britt carried tobacco to Fair
mont yesterday and looked we'll
pleased.
Mr.. Calvin Britt returned to
his home at Timmonsville, Sc, |
Thursday. !
The meeting of days which |
closed here Tuesday was of much
benefit to the community. TWen-
ty-two members were received by
baptism and several were restor-
ed. Rev. Alb. Stephens, who has
been living in Louisiana for sew
eral years, did the preaching and
| never heard better. We learn
that he will preach in Robson
county in the future.
TheCenter correspondent made
a little error last week-said he
or she saw Sarah Jane" and
Happy Jack", but she did not
see Happy Jack for he was
not there; l believe she said
Long Branch.
Rev. Paul Britt and wife, Of
Cumberland county, were here
last week and worked in the
meeting. Mr.. Britt is a great
worker and preacher.
l started to school at Simeon
Institute, Orrum, Monday. | be-
lieve it is the best school in Rob-
eson county to secure an educa-
ton. There were 120 the open
ing day and several more have
come in since. Why do l say it
is the best school in Robson
county? Because it is the best
house? no; Because it is in Or
rum? no; Because it belongs to
! the county? no; but because they
have had such a good principal
and have got another just as
/ good. Prof. Williams is one of
= the States best and ablest men
' and teachers. Now | have been
: here a week and everything is
! making fine progress. We don't
2 know so much about them, but
2 we think the lady teachers are
Y just as good as the State keeps
= within her boundaries. Any chile
D can get an education at the pres
e ent time if he will work for it.
e Wonder if The Fairmont Mes
d senger thinks it has power ovel
a The Robesonian and it's correspon
e dents? Somebody talks that way
-, but for one, think they arr
Y wrong. Let it and it's correspon
e dents say what they want to AM
: let The Robesonian say what i
thinks about political affairs
: Everyone has his opinion.
V The railroad byOrrum has bee
n quite a business road this wee
S on account of the recent floods. A
y many as fifteen and twenty train

believe he is much for writing a
+ he doesn't give us Orrum new
II very often.
= Mr.. Gale Britt informs US tina
&c somebody took his money with

): went to work and left his door
II open and somebody came to sc
T. him or his money, l don't kno'
Ie which; but they found the none
n and didn't find Gale, and so the
D. took the money. Mr.. Britt ha
e his money in an old shoe. M,
o. what rogue, to look in a man
e shoes! but he got $18. Guess
