Buie, Nov. 25.-Rev. William Black
is conducting a revival at Antioch. He
is assisted in the singing by Mr.. Burr
a well-known singer. There seems to
be many souls being brought to Christ
through this great mans preaching
and the help of God. 1t will close
Sunday night.
/ am very glad to report no sick
ness through this section OF any Sc
riOus consequence.
The crops are practically all har-
vested, and the gins l presume Will
soon close down. The farmers seem
to be a little discouraged about the
present price of cotton, although a
great many are holding theirs, and
living in hopes that the price will go
up.
/ am told about 13 men, probably
about ole-half negroes and the others
Indians. were caught gambling near
Buie, by the s'Ga Of a swamp on last
Sunday. Thev wee tried one day
this week by Recorder j. N. Buie at
Red Sp.ilgs, and l an told were fined
$40 cacr.
l don believe I would say too much
if l 20 I'D say that people that are
guilty, whether white CT what color,
that break the good Lords Sabbath
in such a mean way should draw
road sentence.
l understand that Messrs. H. B..
Ashley and j. B. Humphrey are Lum-
berton visitors this afternoon.
Miss Catherine Tiddy Of the Phila-
delphus community has accepted and is
teaching a school at Mt. Tabor this
year. She taught there last year and
the patrons of the school were so well
pleased with the services rendered
last year that they asked her to teach
again this year.
Thanksgiving day will soon be here
again. The good Lord has blessed
the people in so many ways that this
day should not be spent, as generally
the custom has been. Heretofore 1t
has been used more for a holiday by
a great majority of people instead OF
a thanksgiving day. 1t has been set
aside by the President as a day for
prayer and general thanksgiving to
our Almighty Father, and not day
for killing poor birds and pleasure.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. C. Brown and
daughter, Esteer May, of Fairmont
were visitors at Antioch this week.
Misses jamie and Irene Jackson were
visitors at the Antioch meeting this
week.
Miss Mary Tiddy of the Philadel-
phus community has accepted, and IS
teaching a school at Saddletree this
year.
Misses Ruby and Mary Belk Nc
MILAN and Mr.. Peyton Mcmillan at
tended services at Antioch Sunday
night.
Since writing the first of my to-
davis letter to Tht Robesonian, l at
tended the closing sermon at Antioch
Presbyterian church, and many souls
entered into the bounds of Gods great
kingdom. There were several immers-
ed last night. 1t would be impossible
for me to tell the people of Robson
any more good things than they al
ready know about one of Gods great
est workers standing among the fore
most evangelists in the United States.
This is Rev. William Black. Through
Gods help has brought many souls
to the kingdom. Born and raised near
Wakulla, his first business in life was
to start out a lawyer, and he soon
gained the confidence and good will
of the people of Robson in his pro-
fession, which he tried, l am told, to
be so honest in. Shortly afterwards
he answered the call of God to the
ministry, and thus through his able
preaching through the help and power
of God, he has brought many souls to
Jesus. True his work is grand. His
home now and has been for many
years is in Charlotte.
Mr.. Burr, another splendid man,
has been with him carrying on the
singing for many years, and he too is
loved and honored by Gods people.
There cannot be too much good said
about these good men, who, with the
help of the Master are rendering great
service to the people of North Caro-
lima.
They will conduct meeting at Row
land, starting next Sunday, December
1, so Mr.. Black tells me.
