town constituency to have dinner at
the new Lorraine hotel. Now, be it
known that we have never on any
occasion Jared badly in Lumberton;
for the committee on hospitality is
always on the job, but somehow we
were especially gratified at that an
announcement. One reason was we
had never had an occasion to visit
the new hotel. We went. It was a
