the Importance Of keeping the
school grounds clean and the
work that has been done there
has resulted in making the
grounds much more attractive
than they were formerly.
A resolution was passed in
structing the president to ask
the town commissioners to have
cinders hauled from the power
house and placed upon the street
crossings, and in case the town
cannot do this the association will
have the hauling done if the
town will furnish the material.
This material could be used with
advantage on the streets and~by
its use muddy crossings would al
least be done away with.

Fire This Morning Residence
of Mrs. Sue Rowland Has Mar
row Escape.

The residence of Mrs. Sue Row.
land, in the northwestern por-
ton of town, came near being de-
stroyed this morning by fire
which was discovered about 9
O'Clock by the cook. It was
burning in the walls on the second
floor about the middle Of the
building, and is thought to have
caught from a hole in the CHM
ney. Some things were moved
from the house and a great deal
of the plastering was torn down
in order to reach the fire. The
damage is not thought to exceed
$500, and that is covered by in
Surance.
The water system does not ex-
tend out to Mrs. Rowland's resi-.
dence and if the fire had just 9
little more start it would have
been almost impossible to save
the house. Just a short time
after the fire whistle blow there
were people enough there to have
moved everything out Of the
house at a turn each.

CIVIC ASSOCIATION.
Regular Monthly Meeting
Some Important: Work In
Hand-Plan to Improve Street

Some lmportan. w ork In
Hand-Plan to Improve Street
Crossings.
The regular monthly meeting
Of the Civic Association was held
in the reading room of the Com
mercial and I Industrial Club
Friday evening and while only a
few were present many matters
OF great Importance to the town
were discussed in a practical way
and work was started that will
be Of great benefit 10 the town.
Perhaps the matter that will be
acted upon first. because there is
nothing to prevent immediate
action. is a resolution that was
passed asking the town commits
sioners to set aside a portion Of
Meadow brook cemetery for the
burial of the remains o. people
who for various reasons would
not care to buy lots there, or who
are not able. Some time ago a
child of a man who is engaged at
work on the new cotton mill
building died and the unfortunate
father had difficulty in securing
a lot for the burial of his child.
He was only living here tempo
rarfly and only wanted to make
temporary interment. 1t is to
meet such cases as that and
others of a similar nature that
the commissioners will be asked
| to set aside a lot at once in the
I new Meadowbrook cemetery.
The matter Of taking some
action in regard to the old ceme-
terry on Elm street near the Sea-
board passenger station was dis
cussed, and a committee COM
posed Of Messrs. A. w. Mclean,
Stephen Mcintyre and R. D.
Caldwell was appointed to ascer-
tain what can be done. There is
no intention whatever ofantag-
onizing people whose relatives
are buried there and who might
feel some hesitancy in allowing
their bodies to be removed to the
new cemetery; but it IS hoped
that all may be brought to see
the desirabiIity Of putting this
lot in condition to be used by the
town as a park or for some build
ings.
Many citizens Of the town re-
sponded to the call Of the asso.
cation for a cleanup day and
much was done toward cleaning
up yards, alleys, etc. Trash was
piled in the streets to be haulec

The Robson Baptist Associa-

last Wednesday at Raeford. the
thriving, prosperous and pre-
gressive town situated in two
great counties, Robson and Cum

suited in the reelection of Rev.

ly. Mr.. Durham has served in
this capacity eight years. and is
easily one of the best governors

One new church was added tt
