THE HERALD TO CONTINUE
I
* With this issue of the Herald
we are happy to announce that
this paper will continue to reach
the home of Hertford County and ;
th*- adjoining counties, (even
though its owners are away aid
ing in the great fight for Demo- j
craey. The management has |
been fortunate ii> making arrange- j
ments whereby the County paper j
will not b*1 abondoned during the
duration of the war; but, have
been even fortunate enough to j
secure, in addition to its present i
service, telegraph news of war
activities, and state news. This
news will be gathered over wire
on the very day that the paper
goes to press and every item will
be "fresh." The same local news
service and weekly news letters
from this section will be carried
as usual ii) every issue.
The editorial department will
beveither in charge of the present
Editor, or placed in charge of a
local writer who has had consid
erable newspaper experience.
Definite arrangements have not
beon made at the time this article
is written.
Our office at Ahoskie' will be
open as usual ami all business
connected with this paper must
come through this office. The
local reporter and business mana
ger wilt be in this office every
<lay.
In making this announcement
we must need impress upon our
readers that we have gone to no
little expense 111 making it pos
sible for th' paper to continue
publication preferring to give our
people an improved paper rather
thah allow it ot continue. In
stead of providing a "substitute"
in the way of a newspaper, we
have made it possible for our sub
scribers to receive an eight-page
paper every week, full of news of
the town and section, and with
latest authentic dispatch's from
the battle front.
Io severing activ? relations
with the paper, the present man
agement does not intend to re
lease ita interest in the paper and
in the people who support it.
Though we be in active military
aerviee, our readers may look for
? ... ,w,i L ... >
"news from the front." It is 1
the hope of the present *ditor to
continue in charge of the editor
ial department of the Herald.

portunity to follow the pen of this
former newspaper man.

management of this paper will

ceiving no compensation for this
work, haying kindly consented to
do this work without compensa

OUR SUPREME DUTY
By Champ Clark, Speaker of the Bouse
of Representatives
Somebody lias said that duty
is the sublimest word in our lan
guage.Our supreme duty is to
carry this war to a successful con
clusion. We have never been
beaten 'n any war in which we
have been engaged, and the Amer
ican people are determined that
we shall not be defeated in this
titanic struggle. President Wil
son and the Congress have solemn
ly dedicated to this cause all of
"our national resources in men and
property?>f need be.
The two most important things
in war are men and money. The
Congress will vote them from
time to time in such numbers and
such amounts as are deeme d to
the accomplishment of American
purposes.
Another large bond issue>s im
pending and it is to be hoped that
the bonds will promptly subscrib
ed for. Those of us who are over
the military age or for any reason
other reason are debarred from
fighting van pay, and it 's our
solemn duty to do so. I practice
what I preach and invested ev^ry
dollar I had, and some I borrow
ed, in bonds.

Norfolk, Va.
Dear Doctor:
I have been a sufferer with my eyes, ,
headarhes, sleeplessness and nervous.
nena for a good many years and on
account of my eyes, 1 had severe pains
running down from behind my ears
down the back of my neck. At times
I could hardly move my head with
out pain.
Seeing where so many people from
mv county had been relieved of dif
ferent eye troubles I decided to try
you myself. I made a trip to Norfolk
to consult you. After examining my
eyes you prescribed glasses for me.
That was about a month ago and I
have received greater relief since I
have been wearing your glasss than I 1
have ever had in my life before.
I am writing this letter with the re
quest that it be published, ao other
sufferers* may be benefited as I have.
I sincerely recommend you to any orfe
suffering with eye trouble or in apy
way in need of the service of any eye*
sight specialist. With best wishes for
your contiguous success, 1 am,
Yours very truly,
Mrs. K. E. JOHNSON

TRAVELS 40 MILES
FORMORETANLAC
Hawkins Says His Wife Gained
15 Pounds on 3 Bottles of Medi
cine. ' f
I'm taking a forty.mile trip to get
more Tanlac," wah the remarkable
statement made by J, D. Hawkins, a
well-known and* prosperous farmer, in
Jacobs Pharmacy, Memphis, Tenn.
* * Yes, sir," continued Mr. Hawkins,
"I live at Bartlett, Tenn., and I drove
eight miles to Baleigh this morning and
caught a trolley car there for .Mem
phis, which is twelve miles more, so
you see when I get back home I've tra.
veled forty miles, and that ought to be
^roof enough of what I think of Tan
lac.
liI declare I never saw or heard of
a medicine doing a smuch good as Tan.
lac. My wife ha# gained fifteen pounds
on three bottles of - it and besides it
has gotten her over her troubles that
have been weakening her down for
nearly twenty years, and I don't aim
for her to be without it. She suffered
awfully with indigestion and was grow
ing very weak and badly run.dofwn.
Every single thing she would eat made
gas and gave her severe pains in the
'stomach. She had no appetite at all
land what little she would force her
?self to eat hurt her so bad it seems
she would have been better off without
eating it. She suffered terribly with
Nervous headache and couldn't sleep on
account of it. She was so tired all the
time she never felt like doing a thing.
In fact, she wasn't able to do her
housework at all. She had tried every
thing without getting any relief and I
was about to give up in dispair when
I read about Tan lac and got her a bot
tle of it.
"I just can't say too mueh for Tan
lac for my wife's improvement ha*
been wonderful. 8he can do all her
housework now and before she could
scarcely get around at all. She is re.
lieved of the indigestion and has a good
appetite. She eats most anything ^he
wants and is relieved of the gas and
pains she used to have. Her nerves are
quiet and she sleeps good at night and
don't have the sickheadachen like she
did. As I have already said she has
gained fifteen pounds in weight snd is
gaining strength and health all, Ibo |
time since taking Tanlae. She looks ho
much better all our neighbors are talk
in about her improvement. It cer
tainly has done wonders for her and I
wouldn't let her be without it for any
thing, and that's the reason I'm taking
this fortv mile trip today to get more
of it for her? I certainly do indorse
Tanlae for I think it is the greatest
medicine in the world."
Tanlac is sold in Ahoskie, N. C. by
Z. V. Bellamy.
If te German drive on the wes
tern front was a defensive?and

ASTONISHING EEPOET FOR

The wife of a merchant had ?tom

ing but toast, fruits and hot water.
Everything else would sour and fer.

Because Alder_i_ka flushes the ENTIRE

prevents appendicts. It has QUICK

FOB BILIOUS TROUBLES
0?0?C
To promote a healthy action of the
liver and correct the disorders caus
ed by biliousnes^, Chamtyerlain 'a
Tablets are excellent. Try them and
see how quickly they give you a rel
ish for your food and banish that dull
and stupid feeling.
IF I WEBE A FABMEB
If I were a farmer I would keep
at hand a few reliable medicine* for
minor ailments that are not so ser
ious as to require the attention of a
physician, such as ChambeVfain 'i
Colle and Diarrhoea Remedy for bowel
complaints.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for
coughs, cold and croup.
Chamberlain's Liniment for sprains,
bruises and rhematic pains.
Chamberlain's Tablets for stomach
troubles, billiousness and constipation.
By having these articles at hand it
would often save the trouble of a
trip to town in the busiest season or
in the night, and would enable me
to treat slight ailments as soon as
they appear, and thereby avoid the
more Aerious diaelse that s? often fol
low. . .? .

CALOMEL
Starts your liver without making you
tick and can net
Salivate
Every druggist In town?your drug
gist and everybody'* druggist haa no
ticed a great falling off In the sale of
ealomel. They all give the same reason.
Dodson's Liver Tone is taking its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone is
perfectly safe and gives better re
sults, '' said a prominent local druggist.
Dodson 'a Liver Tone is personally guar
anteed by every druggist who sella It.
A large bottle costs 60 cents, and it It
fails to give easy relief in every case
of liver sluggishness and constipation,
you have only to ask for yonr money
back.
Dodson '? Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy, harm
less to both children and adults. Take
a spoonful at night and wake up feel
ing line; no biliousness, sick headache,
acid stomach or constipated bowels It
doesn't gripe or cause Inconvenience all
the next day like violent calomel. Take
a dose of calomel today, and tomorrow
yon will feel weak, tick and nauseated.
Don't lose a day's work! Take Dod
son'a LIrer Tone instead and feel line,
full of vigor and ambition.
