PAGE TWO THE ROBESONIAN THURSDAY, MAY 23, 1918. PARKTON PARAGRAPHS Splendid Commencement Exercises Slaughter of Bugs Personal Mention. Correspondence of The Robesonian. Parkton, May 17. Rev.

J. L. Jenkins is attending the Baptist conven-! tion at Hot Springs, this week, i His congregations paid his expenses, Rev. W. L.

Maness is preaching this week in Fayetteville Person street ML E. church. The commencement closed Tuesday night, and it was indeed a good one. The exercises Monday night by the; primary department were all to tne nod and the building was crowded. I Large crowds attended every enter- tainment and the order was good.

The literary address Tuesday evening, de-livered by Hon. J. A. Oats of Fayette-j xriiio wna fine and eloquent, and brought forth much applause. The conclusion of his speech was most patriotic.

Then came the declamation contest, which always is interesting. The boys that entered this contest were Philip McNatt, Vance McNeill, Harrow Farrell and William Calhoun. The eirls" contest was as follows: Pearle Godwin, Sarah Walker, Louise Garris and Mary Jones. This was some contest, as each speaker was on his or her job. The judges were Rev.

J. K. Hall, E. B. Daniel and Mrs.

W. E. Alley. Their job was no easy one, as especially the four girls were somewhat equally yoked, and when you would hear one you would say in your mind that that one would win. Mr.

Hall made the report on decision and made a most appropriate speech before stating the winners. He said that it was no easy job, as all did perfectly well, and all deserved prizes, but that some one was the winner, and reported William Calhoun for the boys and Louise Garris for the girls, which seemingly met the approval of the large audience. Only three of the high school graduated this term, these being John Currie, Carl Lancaster and Sadie Mc-JCc i Their diplomas were delivered by Hon. J. A.

Oates in a most fitting and humorous manner. Tun nAimmonfempTit from start to finish manifested the efficiency of the music teacher, Miss ina Ammonb. Prof. Edwards reports one scholar as being present every day of the school term, and never tardy a single day, the one was Gadis Hughes. All of the teachers have returned to their homes except Miss Crocket, who will remain over in Fayetteville a few weeks with her sister, Mrs.

Downing. Rev. C. Wallace was a visiter to our town this week and returned home this a. m.

with his two children, who have been in school here. They live at Lake View, S. C. Mr. J.

M. Johnson has purchase! the Capt. J. D. Cobb residence on the corner near the graded school building and will move next week.

The farmers of this section were never busier than now. Today was bug-killing day with the potato growers as the weather has been so wet that the bugs have broken the front line. If the Allies and American forces could kill as many Germans in one day as potato bugs have been killed today the war would soon come to a close. The moving pictures are running every night since Tuesday night and all report splendid pictures. The Red Cress will have a rally at the auditorium Tuesday night at 9 o'clock.

The public is invited. ST. PAULS NEWS PACKAGE. Some Surprise Marriages Death of Mr. Reuben Brjsson Vacation Time Personal and Other Items.

Correspondence of The Robesonian. St. Pauls, May 17. School is over is hers. The closing exercises were very interesting and great crowds attended.

Misses Mable McDonald, Ailene Bennet and Mary Lou Beard graduated in the high school and received their diplomas. Mr. Francis Northrop. Misses Annie Esther Humphrey and Mable McDonald graduated in music. We've had 2 or 3 little surprise marriages since we jast wrote.

Miss Doia Johnson and Mr. Ton McC-ill were married on Wednesday, the 8th; Miss Ruby Crump and a Mr. Linger-felt of Newton were married Monday last; and on Tuesday afternoon Miss Annie Esther Humphrey and Mr. Norman Drum were quietly married at the home of the bride, here in town, only a few intimate friends and relatives being present. Mr.

Drum is also from Newton, and we learn that all these young men will have to report for service in a week or two. Nevertheless "all's well that ends well," and we wish them success. "Love is very mysterious" so they say, and always finds a way. Wonder who will be next? So "many of the young men are going to war, there soon wont be any left to "wed" unless one wishes to try her luck with some of these old "patriots." Miss Alice Shaw went to Tar Heel Monday p. m.

and will spend a while with her niece Mrs. Harry Fisher. Miss Agnes Evans of Rowland came up Sunday. Miss Mary McNeill left Monday for her home out near Rennert. Mr.

and Mrs. T. A. McNeill spent Sunday with Mrs. Roxey McMillan of our town.

Mrs. Sallie Brown of Fayetteville is spending this week at the home of Mrs. Bettie Northrop. Mrs. Brown is an aunt of Mrs.

Northrop. The little child of Mr. Will Johnson of Armfield street is critically ill with pneumonia. Miss Lavinia Johnson graduate nurse, is with her. There seems to be lots of sickness around.

Mr. Reuben Brisson died Sunday afternoon about 2 o'clock. The funeral took place Monday at 3 p. m. at Great M-Tsh church.

Get Rid of Your Rheumatism. Now is the time to get rid of your rheumatism. You will find Chamberlain's Liniment a great help. The relief which it affords is alone worth many times its cost. Mr.

and Mrs. A. A. McEachern of Fayetteville came down Saturday afternoon and stayed over for communion services Sunday morning. Mrs.

Maggie McAachern expects to Teturn home this week, after a short stay here. Mr. and Mrs. Graham Smith of Red Springs and Miss Sarah Ann Smith attended church here Sunday also several from a distance, we have'nt space to mention. We are all glad to have Rev.

McLean McGeachv with us this wepk. Mr. McGeachy received his diploma a few weeks ago, so is a minister now. He will take up his work in Johnson county. We wish him every success, surely.

The pupils who gave the play here "Claim Allowed" during commencement will take the play to Philadel-phus on Friday night, the 24th. It was greatly enjoyed by all who were so fortunate as to hear it here. Don't miss it; if it comes your way. Messrs. W.

D. Johnson, Fred Berlin and a few others spent a few hours in Fayetteville yesterday. Mr. Wylie Caudell came down a few days ago to see relatives here. His sister- Miss Addie returned with him.

as he went back to his old home for a short visit. It seems that Mr. Caudell joined the army 6 years ago, and this was his first visit home for quite a while. Of course 'twas a happy meetiner. Miss Janie McGoogan of Rennertj and Miss Mary Tiddy of Philadelphus were town aunaay, also Mr.

A. G. McNeill and sister of out near the little town of Rennert. Mr. Hally Johnson, who recently joined the navy, was sent to some point in Newport, Rhode Island, quite a distance from home.
