TOWN OF BLADENBORO
One Of Bladen's Coming Towns,
Some of Its Prominent Citizens and
Industries

Correspondence of The Robesonian.
From Laurinburg we jumped to
Bladenboro, one Of Bladen's coming
towns, whose growth reads like a
fairy tale. A few years ago we
taught school in this village. Then
there we're only two stores-the Bird
ger Co. and the Bladenboro Mercantile
Co. Then there were no brick build
ings, neither did she have any streets.
Today the visitor can see what push,
energy and capital combined have
accomplished in a few years.
Bladenboro is today prosperous
town of several hundred inhabitants
with modern brick buildings, broad
streets and beautiful homes. Her
motto seems to be "Onward and Up
ward". The Bridger brothers, H. C.
and R. L., who were possibly her
founders, are the leading merchants,
and they do an immense business.
Others who are noted among her lead-
ing business men are A. E. Pate, Ed
Storms, A. A. Hilburn, Luther Len
non and others too numerous to men
ton.
Bladenboro is also manufacture
ing center. They have built here a
modern and up-todate yarn mill,
where hundreds of men are furnish
ed lucrative work. Mr.. J. L. Bridger
is manager. Also an oil mill, which
is one Of the towns best assets.
| Probably Bladenboro's best paying
and most popular institution is her
bank, which in its history of eight
years has not only been Of untold
5 benefit to this community but has
> also paid as much as fifty per cent
: dividend. MI. H. C. Bridger, Jr., is
the popular and efficient cashier, anc
3 he is on to his job. Mr.. Hendrix
Freeman is assistant cashier.

LAURINBURG AND SCOTLAND
A Vide Awake, Growing Town in a
Good County

correspondence Of The Robesonian.
Your correspondent spent Mon
day in Laurinburg, the capital of
Scotland the smallest and best
county in North Carolina. Laurin-
burg is wide awake and is growing,
her streets are paved, her white
way is beautiful, her citizenship is
uneXcelled, her business men as good
as those of any domain.
Jno. F. McNair and his volume of
business are an integral part of the
town and county. D. c. McNeill,
Hammond, Shaw & McLaurin and
others too numerous to mention, are
some OF her business men. Her banks
are the equal in appearance and in
volumne of business to Charlotte.
Her bar is the equal of any in North
! Carolina. Laurinburg has drug
stores. One Of her most popular
drug stores is "Blue's", owned and
managed by that prince of clever fell
lows Mr.. A. F. Blue, who is a broth
er of Mr.. F. L. Blue of Fairmont. Mr..
Blue is a native Of Hoke county, a
Scotchman who has bade good in
Scotland. The Exchange has lost
none of it's former prestige but is
still a live medium in advertising
Scotland county.
;, We cannot conclude without men,
tioning her leading hotel, the Chef
wynd, whose menu includes the best
the market affords, whose manage
men is uneXcelled.
= Laurinburg's physicians are mod
!, ern and up-to-date and enjoy lucra-
) tive practice. We were glad to ex-
change a few words with DR.. Peter
! Mclean, VINO, tho busy, gave us a
: few minutes.
To the stranger Laurinburg extenus
welcome; to the investor, she i"
: an inviting field.

LIGHTNING STRIKES CATTLE
One Cow Killed and Two Injured OF
Lyman Dole Farm

Among the damage caused by the
severe electrical storms which swept
over the northern section of Vermont
early Sunday morning, was the killing
of one COW and injury to two Others
on the farm of Lyman Dole, at Dan
Vile. Lightning also entered the
house, but curiously enough was con
tent with putting telephone and elect
ric light connections out of commits
sion.
Lightning was reported as having
struck in many places to the north
but in most instances did but little
harm. Heavy rains also accompanied
the electrical disturbances, causing
very high water, and in some in
stances doing slight damage to crops
Although storms were to the north
and west of St. Johnsbury late Sat.
urday night and Sunday morning, St
Johnsbury received only a slight wet
ting from the edge of the storm reg.
ion as they went around.
