In this natural manner, Vinol creates
strength for the rundown, overworked

Reason For The Delay.

Ladies of the various churches
of Robson contributed literally
to the purchase of the handsome
silver service which was present
ed to Governor Glenn just before
he retired from office and as they
contributed some time ago they
wondered why the service was
not presented earlier. The de-
lay is explained by the fact that
the ladies in other parts of the
State did not respond as quickly
as the ladies in this county
and the fund was not raised as
quickly as it was at first thought
it would be, 80 after so much un-
avoidable delay it was decided
to defer the presentation until
the close of the Governors term
of office.

Annual Meetings of Stockhold-

in Officers of Bank of Lum-
berton and Robson County
Loan and Trust Company.
FIRST NATIONAL.
The regular annual meeting Of
the stockholders and directors of
the First National Bank of Lum-

President G. B. McLeod's
statement showed that the as
sets of the bank had not been
below $500, 600 for several months
and that Notwithstanding the
fact that a panic has been on
for more than a year, during
that time the capital stock has
been doubled and the surplus
fund increased to SIS, 900. In
addition to this the regular semi
annual dividend of s per cent
has been paid and special divi-
dend of 5 per cent. was paid on
April LIST.
At the meeting of the directors
tho usi1al semi-annual dividend
of 5 per cent was declared this
being paid to the stockholders
before they adjourned-and 3
per cent. was carried to the sur
plus fund. The stockholders were
much pleased with the excellent
showing made.
The old board of directors was
reelected, as follows: John W.
Ward, G.. T. Pate, w. P. Barker,
J. A. McAllister, A. R. Nc
Eachern, G. B. Mcleod, H. M.
McAllister.
At the meeting Of the direc-
tors the old officers were re-
elected: President, Geo. B. Nc

lister; assistant cashier, R. McA.

What Became of a Pair of Fancy

Now it came to pass that a GER
tain young man who has his local
habitation in Lumberton bought
a pair Of shoes in New York that
were very rare specimens. They
were patent feathers with pearl
gray tops and pearl buttons
and there were no shoes
in all these coasts to COM
pare with them. The young
man took great pride in the shoe $
for a while and handled them
with very great care, but bye
and bye his friends, moved there
to by consuming jealousy, made
sport of the shoes, so that his
pleasure in them waxed less and
less and he contemplated them
with sadness and finally he sold
them for a mere song to a coon,
who finds their loudness and
gaiety a perpetual JOY. And
thinking on these things a young
man came into this Office this
morning and perpetrated the fol-
lowing excrusiating affusion:
There was a young Lumberton man
Blew himself for some shoes that were
grand.
He thought them quite swell
Till his friends gave him-Well,
A coon wears them now on his hands.

with prayermeetings; there will
be ample time after the services
to visit the court house. Many
people who cannot we'll do so
during the day would like to go
over the court house, and as it
is not kept heated and lighted
every night this opportunity will
be given and everybody is cor

shape.
