En ed as second-class matter Feb
ruary 25th, 1910, at the post office at
Ahoskie, N. C? under the Act of
March 3rd, 1878.
' One of the greatest institu
tions of camp life, both over
here and over there is the Y. M.
C. A., and the people ofAhos
kie and Hertford County who
contributed to the Y. M. C. A.
fund in the last campaign can
content themselves with the
thought that they could not
have donated to a more worthy
cause. It is this institution
that ministers to the spiritual
and moral side of the boys who
are daily pouring into the
camps, and also to those Who
are going over in a constant
stream.
It was refreshing to read of
the noble and ready response
made to the campaign for the
sale of War Saving Stamps by
the people of Ahoskie recently
on the occasion of a publie
meeting, at which Hon. O. B.
Eaton, of Winston-Salem was
the speaker. When once the
people back home realize fully
what the men in the service
are doing every day, then will
the people who do not have to
fight the bloody battles of this
war, loosen up and, if neces
sary, give their all in the way
of finances and material pos
sessions to the cause of demo
cracy.
An Appeal to Our Town Fath
ers and Our Mayor
' _____
Near accidents, every day,
happening on the most princi
ple srteets of Ahoskie will
sometimes be a serious realty.
Ones heart goes into their
throat and they stop with a
shudder, as they see trains rush
through our town and people
crossing in front of them.
Carless?no?lack of - pro
tection?yes?no warning,cars
on each side obstructing the
view. It is time for action. It
is in the power Of our town fa
thers and our Mayor to have
gates placed at these dangero
us crossings, Main and Church
?Streets. They should act and
act quick, the sooner the bet
ter.
?ifowhornBIe it will be to see
some man or women torned to
pieces, or some child, with it's
body scatered all the way al
ong the tracks. Isn't this scene
terrible? It will be to late
then to save those lives.
So Town Fathers and Mayor
don't put it off any longer, we
beg. It is in y?ur power and it
1b a duty you Gwerto the town
and pedple. And for the sake
of Anoskie, see to it that gates
are placed at once oji these
dangerous crossings.

LIFE IN THE NAVY
(By J. Roy Parker)
The past week spent at the
Naval Operating Base has
been one of varied experiences
undergoing the usual routine
of a naval recruit, during
which time one is supposed to
learn.the A. B. C.'?, as it were,
of the life of a sailor. One
week spent in camp here is
worth more to any person than
a week spent at any other pla
ce that could be selected by the
moat learned and brainest men
of the country.
Here, men of all stations in
life, learn to do work that they
would never for once dream of
doing in ordinary' civil life. It
is this feature of camp life
that more than any other one
thing typifies the real thing for
which America has entered
this great war?the true spirit
of democracy. Here all men
are on a level, no matter what
was their social, financial, or
business relations in civilian
life. Each man that enters the
United States Navy must do
the things that every other
man in the Navy has to do.
To rise at five o'clock in the
morning, and to be in full uni
form at the dawing of the
morning's sun is an entirely
foreign experience to ninety
per cent of the men making up
the company of recruits of
which, the writer is a member.
To be real frank about the mat
ter, to witness the rising of the
morning's sun is practically
unjcnown to me. But, not so
here; for every day, as the
bugles sounds the Editor ofj
this paper "hits the deck", and
it is a matter of only a few
minutes until he is in the uni
form of the day, with water
pail in hand preparatory to a
scrubbing down of the decks.
Every bungalow must be as ti
dy and clean as the reception
room of the most fashionable
home; and there must be no
trash lying around the doors
or out in front of the bunga
lows. Everything is "spick
and spank" when the sound is
given for the morning's meal.
The morning's chow over,
the boys "fall in", march out
to the training grounds?"the
grinder" and are given about
three hours of stiff and intense
ly thorough training in drilling
doing the manual of arms, and
other exercises incident to the
life of the sailor. At half past
eleven the company marches
back to the"Unit" and prepar
es for the midday "chow". Fol
lowing the hour given for din
ner, thecompany again lines
up for further instruction, as
the commanding officer may
direct; sometimes drilling, and
at other times listening to lec
tures. At half past three o'
clock back to the camp they
go, and for the remainder of
the afternoon are assigned to
various tasks, if any are at
hand. If there are none, it is a
good time to play the role of |
washerwoman, and hang the
clothes out to dry?the happy
experience of the Editor on
this beautiful spring afternoon
I ?Monday.
After supper until nine o'
clock is usually spent in the Y.
M. G. A, writing to the home
j folks, playing the Victrola,
amateur boxing matches, piano
playing and singing, movies;
and one night in each week is
devoted to prayer services con
ducted _ by the Y. M. C. A.
Secretary.
"On Sunday morning the resi
dent chaplain holds services*.
and everybody attends these
services. On the past Sunday
morning an experience meet
ing was held?and was lead
by a former school mate of the
writer, now a phaplain in the
Navy.
Had I the time every avail
able line of space in this sheet
could be filled with the experi
ences of the writer, but having
a heart, he refuses Jto bore
those who shall read these per
sonal notos.
After-all, the greatest sensa
tion that can come to anyone
in the Navy under training for
active duty is the grand thou
ght that every action or step
taken is one more lick to help
dtrwn Prussianism and Kaiser
ism. And, to the glory of those
composing this company of re
cruita.it can be truly said that
"to make the world safe for de
mtfcaracy" is the true intent of
every fellow here.

I
Declares Ha Hah Case of Stom- j
ach Trouble and Bee an Go-,
ing Down Hill. Gained 25
Pounds on Tanlac.
" It may sound Unreasonable
and you may believe me or not,
but after taking four bottles of
this Tanlac medicine I have
actually gained 25 pounds,"
said J. B. Williams, a well*
known and prosperous farmer
who resides at Greenbrier,
Tenn., near Nashville, Tenn.
"I had a bad case of stom
ach trouble and it came pretty
near knocking me out," contin
ued Mr. Williams. "It was
something like nervous indi
gestion. I began to go down
hill. It looked like the more
medicine I took and the harder
I tried to get well, the worse 1
would get. We had pretty
near everything to eat, but not
hing tasted right, and I got so
weak and nervous I couldn't
do anything, in fact, I was just
completely knocked out.
"Before I had this spell I
weighed 160 pounds, and kept
falling off until I got down to
where I only weighed 135
pounds.
"I am now back to my regu
lar weight again, and feel
strong and well. My appetite
is simply fine now, and I don't
mind my work. This medicine
just took right hold of me, and
put me on my feet.
"Well, sir, the second day
after Ibegan taking it, I got
hungry and oh, how good that
old ham did tast! I sleep fine
now too, and am not nervous
like I was. Even the barking
of the dogs at night does not
wake me up.
"I never believed a medicine
could be made that would do
anybody as much good as Tan
lac has done me, and I want to
recommend it to anybody who
has suffered with the ' same
trouble I have."

CALOMEL SALIVATES
AND MAKES YOU BIOS
*<
Acts like dynamite on a slug
gish liver and you lose a
day's work.
There's no reason why a per
son should take sickening, sal
ivating calomel when 50 cents
buys a large bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone?a perfect substi
tute for calomel.
It is a pleasant, vegetable
liquid which will start your
liver just as surely as calomel
but i* doesn't make you sick
and can not salivate.
Children and grown folks
can take Dodson's Liver Tone
because it is perfectly, harm
less.
Calomel is a dangerous drug.
It is mercury and attacks your
bones. Take a dose of nasty
calomel today and you will feel
weak, Bick and nauseated to
morrow. Don't lose a day's
worK. raae a spooaiui 01 i>oa
aoa'B Liver Tone instead and
you will wake up feeling .great
No more biliousness, oonstipa
tion, sluggishness, headache,
ooated tongue or sour stomach.
Your druggist says if you
don't find Dodson ^ Liver Tone
acts better than horrible calo
mel your money is waiting for
you.

FOR YOUR EYESIGHT!
If you were offered one mil
lion dollars for your eyesight, it
goes without saying, you
would refuse the offer.
The eyesight is the most val
uable gift to mankind?so pre
cious that were it taken away

Then, why not take better care
of such a valuable possession?

| number of eye sufferers in his

a consultation with him, hav
ing absolute confidence in his
ability to speedily and perman
ently relieve their trouble with
his scientific way of fitting
glasses.
i No man, women or child
! need suffer from headache, diz
z in ess, nervousness or the
j many other distressing ills
caused* in most cases, by poor
eyesight. The surest, safest,
i quickest and most economical
way to find permanent relief is
' to consult, without delay, some
, eyesight specialist in whose

WYNN BROS.
THOS. B. WYNN, Owner
to the Government in the interest of
,'the Third'Liberty Loan and War Sav
ing Stamps.
Did you ever stop to think what
the United States means-to?usr free?
from militarism for those who live un
der the flag that is so dear to us?
Thpn what are you doing to keep
your country free? What part are you
taking in this great fight? There is no
better and safer way to help in this
struggle than for us to loan our money
to the Government by buying Liberty
Bonds and War Saving Stamps. This
is both a wise and patriotic-investment
as these bonds are non taxable. ?
To win this World War one of
two methods must be used to Finance
it, either by loaning the Government
the money or by direct taxation and it is
up to us whether we will accept the
privilege of buying Bonds and Stamps
with securety backed by "Uncle Sam"
or having a war tax levied upon us.
Let all citizens of Hertford and North
ampfon Counties -help in this crisis,
thereby having the great satisfaction of
knowing that they have responded to
their country's call.
i'
"Liberty Loan, were you Liberty Gift,
And not an example of judgement and thrift.
Were you tolpass> never more to retuhn,
Were you the the last that I've struggled to earn,
Still I should say as we parted in pride;
These are Dollars I've Sanctified:
These are Dollars once treasured as mine
That now I'me offering at Liberty's Shrine.
These are the Dollars I've pledged to the truth,
Dollars I've sent with the finest of Youth
/ J| 9
Into the battle zone fighting for me.
They are my voice speaking over the Sea.
They are the Dollars I hallowed with love ,
For the Star Spangled Banner flying above
And of all the glad Dollar* I've ever known
The best are those spent for the Liberty Loan.''
