Several weeks aero we mailed to our delinquents statements of their < .subscription account. Many have promptly settled; but there are still others who have remained shut up as tight as claras. We are not that prosperous as to (five the paper away which extracts the coin from the Herald's coffers each week. New subscribers are daily coming in, and many new names will be on the 1918 list, which makes it even more imperative that our delin quents pay up, as more paper, ink, labor, and other costly materials are used bv us in the publication of this paper than ever before. - - improvcmeBS-jthy-ftrst -of the y^ar, high cost of everything and the addition of new subscribers force us to place the paper on a strictly PAY-IN ADVANCE basis January I, 1918. Only one month of grace! ? SPtCIAL TERM OF COURT Governor Bickett, upon the peti tion of the Hertford County Board of Commissioners, has ordered a special term of Superior Court for this County k to begin on the second Monday in January, 1918,. and con tinue for one week. 'Owing to the heavy docket of civil cases which were on the October calendar, only a relatively small number were evftn called, leaving a very contrasted doc ket, including several cases that repuire immediate attention. Judge Jno. H. Kerr, of Warrenton, has beefl appointed to preside at this special term, which will be devoted solely to the civil docket. The calendar for this term has not yet been arranged, and people in Ahoskie are wondering over what disposition will be made of the sev eral cases arising out ot the Graded School "mess." According to the decree of the North Carolina Su preme Court, the suits now pend ing in the Superior Court, involving the^title.to the office of 4three trus tees, must be decided before the matter is righted. In the meantime the acting trus tees are placed to a great disadvan tage in not being able ta secure the funds that go for., the ?rapport of the school. One of the suits now , pending will solve this matter when finally tried. yiuKion in ivn ?*** V. ."><?"* ?T former CntTad ]UtM Senators ul Himbm of ??5 *1?. wdl-know?

Raney White. ? The hoars were from half past eight to eleven o'clock, with the intervening time well taken up with interesting con tests and an appetizing supper. The light in the hall was * deep red, thus aiding in carrying out the color scheme of red, white and blue, the National colors, which were effectively displayed in the dining hall, where the large chandeleer hanging over the center of the ta ble radiated, together with its rays of lights, many red, white and blue iwaths of crepe, which were fasten ed to the outer edges of the table, The first of the evening's festivi ties was a game of Progressive Con versation, in which each youn* man made dates for a two-minute con ireisation on each of the following absorbing limitless subjects: ' War, Friendship, Rivals, Cupid's Darts, Mid Life-Time Partners. The se cond was a contest, in which each couple gave the wife's name, cor responding to several different vo cations, as the life saver's wife Caroline (carry-a-line). An index to the brilliant intellects making up the group were the correct answers given by etfery couple. Just before going to supper, the name of a state was penned on each man's back and the corresponding capital city on a lady's shoulder, which, when matched, provided the couples for supper. ( The table, besides its beautiful artificial decorations, was weighted down with a supper that was fit for the interned Germans at Hot Springs who have been accused of flagrant ly violating the Food Cpnservation program. ? The refreshments con sisted of potato salad and cakes, sandwiches and coffe, and cakes and fruit jelly. After supper the remainder of the time was spent informally, Miss Walton furnishing instrumental music for the occasion. \ ? Those present and enjoying the hospitality of Misses Walton arid Freeman were: Misses Mina Hollo man, Etta Banks, Irene Parker, Do rothy Vann, Ella Lee, Bettie Ses soms, and Florence Gerock; Messrs. C. R. Hinshaw, Pembroke Baker, Paul Holloman, Clarence Perry, V. D. Strickland, James Vinson, and Rov Parker. Good Bye Lamps and Lanterns.
