One of Hoke's Coming Places-Some of It's Leading Citizens
Correspondence of The Robesonian.
	Antioch, Sept. 1-Your correspondent spent Thursday of last week at the progressive and thriving little town of Dundarrach, which is 
one of hoke county's coming places. Dundarrach is a Scotch name, the meaning of which we shall have to leave for "Aunt Becky" or 
A. W. McLean to tell us. For about one hundred years, more or ess, there has been a post office here, named by the early Scotch 
settlers Dundarrach, after some of their home places in Bonnie Scotland; so when John Blue built his railroad from Aberdeen to 
Hope Mills it came this way and they named the town Dundarrach.
	This town is surrounded by a fine farming section of "God-blessed Macks"-McKenzies, McInnises, McGougans, McMillans, Monroes, 
and others too numerous to mention In the last few years the people of this section have awakened to their possibilities along 
agricultural lines and where a few years ago stood the stately pine, the king of the forest, today we find large well-cultivated fields.
	The town, which was likewise asleep, woke up and begn to grow and for this mighty evolutionary growth there is a reason.
We might say in passing that whenever you mentioned Dundarrach a few years ago you at once thought of Capt. Edgar Hall, who was and 
still is a leader of his folks; and eight years ago, when Hall was elected sheriff of his county it looked like the town had received 
a severe blow; but a new man entered the town as manager, secretary and treasurer of the Dundarrach Trading Co., a large corporation 
doing a general furnishing business. This man, by the name of Jesse Gibson of Scotland. By his square dealings he soon gained the 
confidence of the entire populace. He not only runs one of the leading stores in Hoke county, but he also bought lands, cleared and 
cultivated fields, and has proven that farming is a science. Gibson believes in good roads and wise but economic county government, 
so Hoke made him one of county commissioners, which position he fills today with honor to himself and constituents, and he and his 
business are growing every day. His clerks are also experienced business men. Mr. J.B. McKenzie, whom we will call head clerk, has 
been with the company since it organization and has done his part in making the business with it is. Mr. David Cope, who for the last 
several years has worked in Red Springs as clerk, manager, etc of various enterprises, and whose superior business fitness renders him 
very much in demand, is found among the large working force of The Dundarrach Trading Co., and they say Cope can cope with any of them.
	Mr. L.A. McInnis, is one of her oldest merchants, also does a good business here. Mr. Alex McMillan, who is well known to Robesonian 
readers, is Dundarrach's efficient postmaster. McMillan lives on the sunny side of life.
	The Hoke Lumber Col, owned by Messrs. W.E. Garrett, Graham McIntosh, J.A. Love and others of Red Springs, is an integral part of 
the town. They operate both saw mills and planing mills with a daily capacity of several thousand feet, own their own tram engines and 
track. In fact, their business is a revelation.
	Dundarrach has also a good school, with a modern building. Her churches are modern and are divided between the Presbyterians and 
Methodists.
	You can keep your eye on this town, for she is coming.

	Lumberton Robesonian: A large black bear was seen on the plantation of Mr. James Parker, near Dundarrach, in Upper Robeson, one day 
last week. This is the first appearance of bruin in this vicinity since May 1849, when an enormous bear passed through the plantation of 
Col. Alex. Mcmillan, making his way towards the Cape Fear River, or perhaps the Green Swamp, in Columbus or Brunswick.

	On Monday a case came up from Dundarrach in which a chicken had been disturbing a field on which it had no right. Clerk McQueen looked 
up the law on the subject and you might as well know what it is. The chicken has no right to run on another fellow's land. But notification 
in wriging is necessary, and then a fine of $5 or 10 days in jail is penalty. But you have no right to shoot your neighbors' chickens.-Hoke 
County Journal.
