Every Town in County Won an
Honor Flag in Liberty Loan
Campaign.

Odmpd1Su.
To all Subscribers to the Third Lib
erty Loan in Robson County:
In behalf of the Treasury Depart
ment of the United States, under the
direction of which we have been work
ing, we desire to tender to those who
60 patriotically subscribed to bonds
of the third Liberty lean all thanks
for the fine spirit manifested in SUBJ
scribing so literally and promptly.
While quite large number in the
county who should have subscribed
did not subscribe, yet the lack of pa
triotism of these has been more than
made good by those who did subscribe,
so that those who subscribed to the
bonds have not only performed the
duty which they themselves owed, but
they have performed part of the duty
which others owed, and which they
failed to perform.
The amount apportioned to Robson
county as minimum was 1898 ,4OO.
The total subscriptions at the close of
the campaign aggregate $434 800, or
a total of $136,1O0 oversubscribed.
We have been much gratified at
the large increase in the number and
amount of subscriptions received from
the rural districts. The total num-
ber of subscribers in Robson county
to the present loan was approximately
2,2OO, whereas, the total for the pre-
vious loan was approximately 800,
showing a marked increase.
America went into this war be-
cause she was forced to do so, but
now she intends to fight until victory
is assured, whether it takes six
months or six years.
To those who have purchased Lib
erty bonds, either of the present or
previous issues, let us say that you
should not sacrifice these bonds, but
should keep them as one of your most
precious possessions, until this war is
over. If at any time you find it ab-
solutely necessary to have money,
then you ought to go to your Bank
and borrow money on the bonds, but
don't sell them. If any bank in Robe
son county declines to lend you mon
ey on the bonds, please report it to
us, or to some member of the various
Liberty loan committees in your vi
cinity.
Thanking you for the magnificent
manner in which you have responded
to the call of your country, and for
the patriotic spirit in which you have
of your country and your State, we
are, Yours very truly,
A. w. MCLEAN,
Chairman,
- JUNIUS J. GOODWIN,
Liberty Loan Committee, Robeson
County.
