Correspondence of The kopesonan.
Mt. Eliam, June 2-It looks now
like things are going to be but
toned up in these parts. Tobac-
co is buttoning where it is not
much over finger high and the
worms and tobacco hoppers are
working the holes.
This community was saddened
Sunday when the news of the
death of Mrs. J. K. Britt was
heard. She died at 9 o'clock Sun
day. Her health had been bad
for several years, but she had
only been in bed two days. She
leaves a husband and one child,
besides many friends, to mourn
her loss, as she was loved by all
who knew her and was one of
our best singers. She was 36
years old and joined the Long
Branch Baptist church when a
girl and had been a constant
member ever since. The funeral
services were conducted by Rev.
M. A. Stephens from the resi-
dence Monday at 10 O'Clock and
the remains were laid to rest
near the home.
Mr.. Rossie Britt spent Sunday
afternoon near Barnesville.
Our people seemed to enjoyed
the Baptist Union at Hog Swamp
last week. The sermon Satur-
urday, which was preached by
Rev. c. H. Durham, of Lumber
ton. was IS good as Happy
Jack" ever listened to. His SUBJ
ject was christian Steward
ship" The speech on the Lay
mems Movement by Rev. l. P.
Hedgepeth was enough to make
all who were fortunate enough
to hear it resolve to do more for
missions than ever before. Those
who heard Rev. F. T. Collins
address on the Sunday-School on
Sunday say it was the best ever
delivered in these parts.
think it would be nice for
the band Of Robesonian cores
pondents to organize themselves
as the county paper correspon-
dents of some other counties have
done. We could have a meeting
or rally at Lumberton, or some
other place, once or twice each
year. | believe we could make
the dear paper called The Rob-
esonian better and do more for
different communities. We could
call it The Robesonian Cores
pondents' Associotion.' What
do the other Correspondents and
the editor think about it ?
