The contract for the installa
tion of waterworks an dsewer
age in the town of Ahoskie has
been let to the J. B. McCrary
Co., of Atlanta, Ga. Work on
the project will begin soon af
ter the holidays. This infor
mation was conveyed to the
HersJd by Mr. W. L. Curtis,
Mayor of the town on Thurs
day just before going to press.
The estimates have been made
and it has been ascertained
that the work can be accom
plished for a much less sum of
money than many of the oppo
nents of the measure had pre
dicted. (This information co
mes as a welcome Christmas
Gift to the people of Ahoskie.

In other words, do your holi- 1

It's a good plan to get this
subscription of your paid up
and out of the way before
Christmas, We'll feel better
about it, a^ least.

Education is anxious that "Ay

Bead that article on page one !
of this issue, and you'll under
stand why so many weekly j
newspapers are increasing the
subscription price to two:
"plunks" per year.'
Next week's paper will eith- ?
er be published a day earlier i
or later than usufcl, which one, j
we cannot tell now. But, one j
thing we do know, 'dog Kone'
. v if we dont take one day off, in
spite of everything.
As we have so often mused
before, a little pavement in the
. vicinity of the United States
Postoffice would be well plac
ed ; and, somehow, we have ho
pes that it will be accomplish
ed some time.
Your subscription to the Her
ald would be a good Chritmas
gift to the Herald. Or, your
renewal would be just as ac
acceptable. And, by the way,
a subscription to the Herald is
sure to be a good gift that you
might give some friend or rela
tive. ,

Elizabeth City will come to
Ahoskie on January 6, with a
good and tempting proposi
tion to offer for the removal
of Chowan College to that city.
They are making a wonderful
showing over there n their sub
scription campaign. They will
?me over "loaded." Right
now i? a good time for Ahoskie
to make a renewed effort to do
even more than she has already
done. By all means, people,
let's don't let this institution
get out of this section.

There really is no reason why men
and women with thin, watery blood
and consequent poor health should
remain in that unfortunate condition.
Thin, nervous, rundown, tired people
never get much happiness* out of life.
Men and women with the bloom
of health in their cheeks, a cheerful
sunny disposition and an attractive
personality are the folks who get
most of life's enjoyment, pleasure
and success.
Gude's Pepto-Mangan furnishes the
thin, watery blood with the necess
ary nourishment to enrich it, enab
ling it to supply energy, vitality and
strength to every part of the body.
Physicians recommend Gude's Pep
to-Mangan to patients suffering from
anemia because its beneficial and last
ing qualities are well known to the
medical profession.
Gude's Pept-Mangan is obtainable
in either liquid or tablet form. Both
forms contain exactly the same stre
ngth and medicinal qualities.
When you buy Pepto-Mangan of
your druggist, be sure the name is
"Gude's" on the package. Without
"Gude's" it is not Pepto-Mangan.?
