Services at Cedar Grove and Sin
gletary's Cross Roads churches Satur-
day and Sunday were largely attend
ed and the interest was fine.
Thanksgiving was all to the .good.
The pastor preached at II o'clock, al
ter which a sumptuous dinner was
served in regular Robson style. The
people at Singletary's know how to
feed folks. After the dinner was
over the crowd reassembled and nice
little program was rendered by the
Sunbeams, led by Miss Eva Byrd.
Then came the quilt sale. One hun
| dred numbers were quickly sold by
Mr.. Giles Mercer of Lumberton at rs
cents each and Mr.. Mckay Byrd held
the lucky number. Besides the $50
raised by the selling of the quilt,
which went to the organ fund, col,
lection for the orphanage amounted
to $3.50. That night small crowd

was so rainy the people could not at

The rain Thursday. was most vel
come. A colored brother who works
on Mr.. John T. Biggs' farm situated
on the Elizabeth road about two miles
from town let fire get away from him
Monday before, and it was giving 8
good deal of trouble. We had fought
It nearly all day Tuesday and had il
secured, as we thought, but the guards
on the opposite side were not so care
full as to give it gilt-edge security
and Wednesday it got the advantage
of everybody again. We had to dis.
miss school at 1:3O o'clock, and come
to the relief Of the home folks anC
neighbors. We worked hard until af
ter night trying to make it secure
against any further damage; hence we
can say with all conscience the rair
Thursday was most welcome.
Men who are so fortunate as tt
have farms to rent should let respon
sible and careful men have them
Those thoughtless characters shoulC
not be tolerated. A man who puts

The sudden passing of Mr.. J. A

 Mir. Fehse acted in the capacity of railway mail clerk in Nome for two years ia which time he has earned the respect and esteem of the com munity.
