The coal situation is pot at all promising: in Ahoskie; hard coal heaters have hard sledding ahead of them. These are "coaless" days in Ahoskie. Mr. N. W, Britton, of Winton, has been appointed Food Adminis trator of Hertford County. We are expecting to hear from this new officer. .. ? Did you ever think of it? Neith er the church for which the town was named nor the Ahoskie Graded School building is situated within the corporate limits of the town of Ahoskie. Well, it is a fact. The drafted boys were given o . pood send-off here last Friday morn ing, and they deserve every kind ness and remembrance showp them. We can't do too much for them, for they are preparing themselves to sacrifice their blood for us and our ( boasted democracy?a prized herit age of the American people. On every hand and from all good ' sources business prognosticates ( speak of Ahoskie as the livest and ?, most promising town in the whole , of Northeastern North Carolina. And, why not? We have answered | that question by fitting up a news- , paper office large enough to take care of the business of a town five times the size of this town. "Pin . your faith in Ahoskie and you yrill win." But, "Faith without works is dead." The Red Crosa workers all over the County are responding nobly to I the call of this organization. The 1 local members are working every i day, and sending the needed arti cles to Headquarters to be distri- | buted. People of Hertford County, j help your Bed Cross; if you are a ( man, help the cause Along with membership fees; if a woman, help ; make the bandages, surgical dress ings and other supplies. What has become of the water works and sewerage system for Ahoskie?" Was it talked to death? i Or, has it died for lack of support? i About the only way Ahoskie can ?ver expect to possess streets and sidewalks, commensurate with its development, is through the medium of a sewerage svstem AriH thai is only one of the great benefits to ] be derived from such an undertak- i in?. But. some one has said (Can it be true?) that Ahoakie'a citizens -would never have had an electric light system, had it depended upon i the town as a municipality to do it? And, right there ia just where i Ahoskie is lacking in an important I adjunct. It needs to learn the les " son of co-operation?a thing that ?we have been preaehing since time 1 unknown. Individuals and individ ual initiative can execute private enterprises and in many cases does help the town; but, we people must sooner or later learn that we must pull together in order to accomplish objects of municipal benefit. Think over these things, and see if you do not accord with us! Catarrh Cannot be Cured. With local applications, as they cannot reach the scat of th? disease. Catarrh is a local disease, greatly influenced by constitutional conditions, and in order to cure it yon must take an internal remedy. Hall's Catarrh medicine is taken internally and acta thru the blood an the nracous surfaces of the system, Hall's Catarrh Medicine was prescribed by oaa of the best pnysl ciana far years, It is compoaed of . the bast tonics known combined with some 01 the beat blood purifiers- The per fect combination of the ingredients in Hall's Catarrh Medicins is what pro- . duces such wonderful results in catarr hal coadltioaa, Bend for testimonials 1 FTCSKMST ?

Huff of Soudan, Va., were quiet ly married in' an Oxford, N, C., hotel, Monday afternoon, October 8, Rev. J. D. Harte, pastor of the Ox ford Baptist Church, performing the ceremony. The marriage wa? a runaway affair, and was witnea ? 1 only by Miss Quincey Huff, young sister of the bride. In the" face of serious difficulties, the couple went forth on an automobile ride, re turning a few hours later: but not until they had been made man ami wife. Romanticism is still lurking about the country, and congratula tions of the very highest order are always sure to come to the princi pals in romantic adventures. Hence, we add a shower of congratulations upon this heppy couple. Mrs. Overton has a wide circle of admiring friends,'both in her late town and community, and also in other states, where she attendee school and since has taught. She was a teacher in the Ahoskie sch >ol about two years ago. She is a very highly accomplished young lady, be ing a graduate of the Southside Fe male Institute of Virginia, and tht .State Normal, of Tallahassee, Flori da, both in voUa juid instrumental music. Mr. Overton is a native 6f Her:, ford County and Ahoskie. He is i young man possessed of fine busi ness quaAitied, happily blended with a genial disposition, which hat Brained for him the friendship anr* admiration of the entire communi ty. js the son of Mr. R.

He has made these people a valua ble mat) and his services are indis pensably Mr. and Mr#. Oyertot) arrived in Ahoskie Wedn?*dty and home at the Manhattan Hot*). In Loving Memory In love and remembrance of Charlie W. Carter who was killed by the Virginian Railway train at Suffolk, Va., on Sept. 8, 1917. His remains \yere brought home and laid to rast la the family bury ing ground, near Como, North Car olina. He had been an employee of this railroad for seven or eight years, holding a p ?ition as firemar. He was thought well of by J all who knew him. He had a host of friends at Victoria, Va., which was hit home while on the railroad. His body was laid to resit by his broth ers of the Locomotive Engineers and Firemen's Association of which he was a member and etood well in the order. The floral decorations were many and beautiful. He leaves to mourn their loss a mother, father, and one brother, L. J. Carter, of Como, N. C., and one sistet, Mrs. Tom Prit chard of Port Norfolk, Va. Charlie was very dutiful to his parents and especially to his moth' er. He never failed to write to her twice a month and would send her a box of candy or something: for her comfort. .This writer knows this yrting man wfil, and can't speak too highly of him. It was a great shock to him when he received the telegram, sta ting Charlie was dead, But the Master of us all knew bast. Hit* will be done.
