Ax long as the "Bulls" on the
cotton market hold swxy the farm
ers of our country should rejoice.
They seem to have the situation
pretty well in hand. The price of
cotton contmues to advance, and
the fresh successes of the allies in
the European war has stimulated
the cotton market. Let ber
climb!
___
Moonlight Schools are being or
ganized all over the State. This
is a forward step in advancing the
cause of education in North Caro
lina, and no county in the State
should be without these schools.1!
Moonlight Schools properly con
ducted mean improved citizenship.
Let Hertford County keep pace
with the other counties of the
State. Who shall be the pioneer
of this movement in Hertford
County!
Did you know that Octobpr the
9th ?m Fire Prention Da.v ?u
North Carolina! If you did not,
we call your attention to the ar
ticle on the first page of t|ns issue.
Let everj- citizen of the entire
county see to it that this day is
properly observed, and remove all
rubbish, trash and other waste
matter lying about your home or
place of business.
The annual destruction by pre
ventable fires in North Carolina is
enormous. If they are preventa
ble, then let's see to it that noth
ing is lying carelessly about that
is liable to spread fires.
The man who buys his goods
from his home merchant is the
man who helps UDbuild his Own
town. A town, in which all the
inhabitants purchas their supplies
from mail order houses or from
other towns, would soon be no
town at all. Why have a town at
all unless it's inhabitants do their
buying and selling at home? Yet
if the home paper carries an ad
vertisement of a mail order house
in its columns the very ones who
patronize these nut of town bouses
will "Uboo" the paper, "cuss"
the editor, pay up (f), and stop
their paper.
Stop buying from the out-of
- town merchant and patronize home
industry. For what are you living
here, if you can't buy from your
own merchants, and aid in the
upbuilding of home trade? If
this is where you ma''.e your
money, then this should be the
place you should spend it Buy
at home.
Announcement.
I have sold my entire interest iti
the Herald to Messrs Vinson and
Parker and am no longer connect
ed with the paper. For more than
five years I have done what I could
to make the Herald the best |>aper
in this entire section, whether or
no I have failed is left for you to
say.
Mr. Vinson has been employed
on the paper ever since it has been
published, with the exception of a
few months, and is capable of
holding down the job on the inside.
Mr. Parker is a graduate of Wake
Forest College, and with his know
ledge of business is capable of
holding down the editors I chair.
1 do not know of two young men
that I had rather see make a suc
cess.
They have purchased the sub
scription list and advertising con
tracts from Sept., 1st, and all con
tracts made by me will be carried
out by the new management.
' I wish for the paper and new
managers much success and trust
that the business public will -give
them the patronage they deserve.
