entered the High School in Nc
Connellsburg in the fall of 1883,
his name was entered upon the
roll by the teacher as Willie Rob-
inson. The school was given that
name while in the old brick build
ing, and was called High because
it was farthest from the ground.
Willie was an Industrious, pains
taking student, and after grad
uating" from the aforesaid
High" school whose principal
afterward arose to the distinction
Of editor of a country newspaper,
Willie became William as he grad
uated from a we'll known Busi-
ness College, and at once there
after accepted position with
the Standard Oil Company, which
position with its logical promo
tions, he holds to-day. This is
what Mr.. Robinson says:
Il always look forward with a
great deal of pleasure to the
weekly visits of The News, and
| read it through, if possible, be-
fore doing anything else. Nat
urally, the most interesting news
items for some time (which, how
ever, have been conspicuously
absent of late) have been in con-
nection with the electric railroad
over the mountain. In the abb
sence of news to the contrary, |
take it that the work is going
ahead, and it will be great dis
appointment to me if | do not
get up to my native home when
the opening of the line in inau-
gurated.
THE fact that my visits to Nc
Connellsburg have been so few
since left there twenty-seven
years ago next month, has not
been due to lack of a desire to
see the town and my friends
more frequently, as there is no
place | would rather visit than
the "old burg" where spent my
happy boyhood days. | often
wish l could once more take a
drive over the county and visit
the towns and good people (most-
ly farmers), ). | recall with so much
pleasure putting up with" when
accompanying my father Hon.
John A. Robinson] on his pro-
fessional and political trips, and
how | did enjoy the cooking Of
those splendid women. | could
give at length "reminiscences of
my boyhood days, but that is not
the object of this letter. which |
will now state:
II frequently see in your paper
mention Of persons who live in
Baltimore or in the counties, Wis
iting relatives or friends in Full
ton county. Many of these resi-
dents of Maryland are, like my
self, natives of Little Fulton. "
1t would give me a great deal of
pleasure to hear from these good
people, as well as from those who
have friends in Fulton, with a
view of seeing if we cannot get
together in the near future for a
little social time. | see, too, that
often Fulton county people come
to Baltimore to visit or on busi-
ness (or possibly to our hospitals),
and | only recall of but one hav-
ing the pleasure-and that was
your good self, about twenty
years ago-of receiving a call
from any of them. Let me as
sure all such that nothing would
please me more than to be ac-
quainted of their presence in the
city, either by telephone or a
personal call at my home or Of
flee; or, if on Sunday, at my
church the Lafayette Square
Presbyterian. My residence ad-
dress is given below, and nv
business address Standard Oil
Company. By the way, it will
be twenty-five years the 22nd of
next. month since | came with
these people, during which time,
| am thankful to say, have
missed only ten days on account
of sickness. mention my church
above for the reason that there
is no church in the city where
strangers will receive a more
cordial welcome.
