twice but have learned since that
it was not true, so | write this
to correct the error.
Nineteen hundred and nine is
a great year for the UnitedStates
the North Pole found, cotton
13 cents a pound, eggs 25 cents a
dozen. 1t has been a good year
especially for our Old North
State. Governor kitchin brings
things to pass. Hurrah for Kitch-
in and Cook.
| Mr.. John Parker, who lives at
| Mooresville, says burglars enter
ed his residence Friday while he
was gone to Lumberton and his
folks were picking cotton near
the house, broke into a trunk,
and got somewhere in the neigh

] The whiskey dealers are hav-
J ing trouble selling or advertising
: their goods. They send circulars
by the load. There came about
twenty to nv mail box in one
day. They come most every
= day. | heard there was so many
;, Saturday to go out on the Orrum
II route that the carriers had te
leave some, and could not carry
them all. All the papers thai
have an editor have refused t
advertise the stuff and / would
be glad if an advertisement o1
: the ''mess" could not go through
the mails of our great Nation.
Corn shuckings are beginning
i to be the order of the night.
81 Prof. Poole is doing the righ
d thing about having agriculture
" taught in the public schools o.
, the great county of Robson.
: studied first steps in agriculture
last year and am sure every DO,
, and girl in the country and towns
, too, should know all they cal
learn about agriculture. Our farm
ers need educating. Too many O
our country boys just as soor
/. as they can say their A. B. c.
J backwards want a gun-meta
cap, vici shirt. and a pair O
patent leather pants and tai
shoes, a KEY chain, pencil am
book. stick an Old Virginia il
one corner Of their mouth and g
to town. It's a big thing, yo
know, where thew could max
more money, have more pleasur
Y. and better health in the countr
on the farm. With the aid 0
1.-THE Farmers Union the farm ha
- brighter prospects for the youn
N man than most any other indu.
try at the present time, and as
rule the farmer gets his grub
more honestly than any othe
class Of people. If agriculture
taught in our schools you ca
see difference in the farms {
Robesen county in ten years.
