A BIGGROWTH
AT REED
FARM

Rev. Ill. III. Beach on Thursday
made trip to the great Werner
u. Reed orchards near Iona, and
to the enterprising little town of
Iona which is the central point
of the vast territory that is being
developed by MIR. Reed and his
associates. Rev. Beach states
at he was surprised mt the re-
marlSable scenes of growth and
development to be Witnessed in
that section.
He first visited Fruit Farm No. /
containing 900 acres of fine fruit
land, 500 of which were set to trees
last year and this year another 800
acres are to be set to trees. This is
Mr.. Reeu private fruit farm and he
proposes to keep the l 900 acres in
tact and develop one of the finest,
most ideal and modern fruit farms
in America. Mr.. Beach states that
the trees are set in straight rows,
Ganos, Winesaps and Jonathans are
the varieties used and these trees al
ternate in setting, four rows each.
The ranch has all of the practical
modern appointsments, modern bunk
houses, stables, barns. superinten-
dents residence, etc. The trees are
all equipped with protectors and the
great orchard is indeed good sight
to look upon. No section of this or
cnard is for sale.
Due south of Iona Mr. Beach Wis
tied Orchard No. 2. containing many
hundreds of acres and which is being
sold in tracts of 10 acres each. This
orchard is also magnificently arrang-
ed and appointed and presents a
scene of thrift and beauty good to
look upon. Either sold or for sale
the Reed company has in all some
thing like PIG fruit tracts of 10 acres
each.
Bustling with life is the little town
of Iona. New buildings are being
erected and everything is wearing the
same air of prosperity that character
ICES the orchards.
That the Reed farms and Iona
bids fair to prove a wonderfully rich
and prosperous section of the Grand
vaney, Rev. Beach declares there can
be no doubt.

SMOKE UP!

The only thing the matter with
this best of towns is that it takes
itself too seriously. A little I'M
buckling now and then, a little
getting down off the perch and
strolling about, a little gaiety, a
little hard, clean sport, would do
this town no end of good. Where
is there another town the size OF
Lumberton that has not some
pretense, at least, of a ball
team? Not on the map, but
there are plenty of smaller towns
that have. We are not baseball
mad at all, but we believe a
team would do the town good.
1t is too late now to get in the
game this season, but we are
stating a general proposition. If
this beautiful Lumber river, for
instance, which winds its way
in dark and facinating beauty by
the town, a river that at almost
any point would arrest the eye
and hand and quicken the pulse
of an artist-if Lumber river
flowed hard by almost any othel
town it would be dotted will
people every fair afternoon, bu
here it is sadly neglected. In ;
manner of speaking people some
times gaze longingly at star
and stumble grumblingly owe
pearls and diamonds at thei
feet. There are lots of ways ii
which Lumberton could wake u
and make life less hum-drum
less monotonous, less world-with
out-end-amen than it seems to b
at times. 1t were we'll to do tn
things that are done but not t
leave undone some other things
Lumberton needs to smoke u
and get in the game-any oil
game, if so be it has ginge
enough in it to keep US who hav
our local habitation here fror
taking ourselves too seriously
which is almost as bad as bein
too frivolous.

ed.
A public meeting at which it
is said every town between We'll
don and Bennettsville, S. c., was
represented either in person or
by letter, was held in Fayetteville
Tuesday for the purpose of organ
izing the New York and Jack
sonville automobile highway as
ISOLATION. The work of this as
ISOLATION is the laying out of a
first class automobile highway
through this part of North Caro-
lima and southern Virginia, and
obtaining for this section the pro-
posed auto highway from New
York to jacksonville.
The association, which en-
braces every town between EN-
poria, Va, and Cheraw, S. c.,
organized by electing Mr.. F. R.
Rose, secretary of the Fayette-
vile chamber of commerce, as
president, and Mr.. J. M. Black,
OF Red Springs, secretary and
treasurer. An executive COM
mittee of five, of which the presi-
dent is an ex-officio member, is
to have charge Of the associa-
TONS affairs. This committee
will name from its members a
roadway commission of three to
select the route of the proposed
highway and go over it placing
at intervals signs reading New
York and Jacksonville unto high
way The meeting was we'll at
tended and great enthusiasm was
manifested.

Noting the fact that Char
lotte building and loan associ-
ations distributed Saturday $3.50, =
300 brings to mind the often-re-
GREETED fact that Lumberton has
no institutions of the kind. The
fact that an institution of this
kind launched here some time
ago came to grief is doubly re-
grettable in that it's failure is
pointed to every time the SUBJ
ject is mentioned as evidence
that the time is not ripe for such
an enterprise here. Building
and loan associations have been
the making of other cities, and
they were started, too, at a
time in the growth of those
cities when they were no larger
than, if as large as, Lumberton:
started at a time when their
business enterprises had not as
sumed the proportions, perhaps,
already attained by the enterpris-
es Lumberton can boast. AS one
reason why such an institution
would not succeed in Lumberton
now it is said that no man of
sufficient ability to insure its
ess would be willing to de-
" any time to a business as
small as a building and loan as
ISOLATION would necessarily be at
first. We hope, however, that
the day is not far distant when
the difficulties that now appear
to be in the way will be overcome
and a building and loan asso-
citation started here. 1t would
be powerful aid in building the
town and promoting good citizen
ship by aiding men Of moderate
means to own their own homes.
