Friday, Feb. - 3,1922 ? ? RUMBLINGS ON HOW TO RUN A NEWSPAPER? The caption of this article al ready has furnished, is now furnishing, and will henceforth forever furnish, so long as hu man is human, man is man, or woman is woman, reams upon reams of "copy" for the news paper publisher; yea, verily, the purveyor of news and the collaborator of editorial mus ings on the email town weekly newspaper always has this one thing before him, wherewith he can furnish a good "spread" in any edition of his pet child. The" felow who occupies the po sition above referred to on the HERALD usually bides his time in the meantime collecting a rich supply of material upon which columns of "rumblings" might be appropriately printed. The one big handicap, however is a circumstance common to the small town newspaper; for sooth, "how to run a newspa per" invariably comes as a nas ty fling from sources that, per ae, make themselves unaccep table as constructive advisers? It is the preson who has griev ances, who has an imaginary ill against the paper. That is the kind of advice for which the Herald has no regard, and very little of respect. A newspaper editor, natural ly, like other human beings, li kes for his "stuff" to be favor ably received by the reading public; he enjoyB a measure of popularity, and, in well regula ted communities of ordinary in telligence, the newspaper edi tor does command respect, and is to a certain degree popular? popular in that what he writes meets with the approbation of a portion, a majority probably, of his constant readers. The HERALD is to that degree like the ordinary small town week ly newspaper. However, it is the grumbler, the destructive critic, and the fellow who looks askance at ev erything published; ever hav ing in view a words of criticism ?it is this kind of person that nauseates us. The one and only good purpose they serve is to furnish us with a morgue frei ghted with dead carcasses and whose sole claim to distinction is through supplying material for 'a good study of perverted human nature. The are like the "stiffs" of the medical college ?a necessary nuisance. - A - ? ... . ?) ? V "TIME BUSINESS" NEEDS BE-ADJUSTMENT? The "time" or supply busi ness which forms the larger volume of trading through this section cannot be arbritarily dispensed with; for legitimate extension of credit is nesceasary to common, ordinary business, just as it is to the big business corporation. The time often co mes when men must boi+ow money to Successfully conduct their business affairs; and, car rying a Bore account or any other charge account, is but the the banks, loan associations, 01 individuals; and the supply merchant (most of them herea bouts are in that claas) extend* loans through supplying the ne cessary commodities of life. Up to this point our analogy worlu fine. The one great difference co mes in the matter of proper se curity and the safeguards, ag ainst possible losses. The bank, loan association, or the individ ual invariably asks for and re ceives good security for a cash loan, and is safeguarded agai nst loss. The ordinary merchant or supply man in this section ' asks rorro seeurkyl... j.. only the promise to pay. With the better class "his word is hi* bondbut, in extending cre dits, the golden rule is not the rule of successful business. The institutions created for lending money have never accepted the i mere promise to pay; but the merchant still continues to go ' to destruction by adhering to that principle. Failures are com mon among the retail merchant and are becoming more so. _ The lax extensions of credit in the era of "good times" has taught the ret&il man a disas trous lesson. He has learned to exercise greater degree of dis cretion in extending credits and through proper organization, he must hereafter, especially guard against the duplication of credit; that, is extending cre dit to the fellow or fellows who make it a practice' to "stick" every merchant at least once. 0 MURFREESBROO BROTH ERS ARE RECONCILED? Elsewhere in this issue, it is the Herald's happy privelege to convey to the world that two good men of our neighbor town of Murfreesboro have ceased their hatred of one another, bu ried the hatchet, and will let th edead be forever buried. It is an item of news which will be of more or,less interest to people of the entire county, and especially to those who attend ed the October term, of Superior Court at Winton, when an un fortunate affair, having its in ception in Ahoskie, was so mis handled by scheming lawyers as to engender hatred, bitter ness, and gross unfairness to many who were innocent of any wrong-doing. It is not our part here to discuss the right or the wrong of either of the Murfreesboro gentlemen, for, it is enough to know that they have happily become reconcil ed. Ahoskie, too, has lately fur nished a striking example of "the lamb and the lidn lying down together;" and, though we have been derelict in pro claiming these glad tidings to the waiting world, it is still ve ry good, wholesome news. Sev eral weeks ago, two of Ahos kie's prominent citizens put as ide grievances, grasped hfuids ?hands that had fought the other at every turn of the way for many years?and agreed to forget the past. Dr. Jesse H. Mitchell, "the father of Ahos kie," and Mr. J. R. Garrfett, if not the paternal father, certain ly a foster father of Ahoskie and its phenomenal growth, were the principal figures in the role of "let's be friends." Attornev Jno. E. Vann, of Win ton, ana Lloyd Mitchell, of this town, heaped glory upon them selves by assuming the part of intermediator. We do not know exactly how it feels to exper ience the sensation o'f reconcil iation ; but, nevertheless, if the two good citizens of Ahoskie thus joined together have & more intense feeling of genuine relief than the town in which they live, then, verily, it must be "the thrill that comes once in a lifetime." There's many another person would be surprised, and happi*! ly so, at the apparent willing ness and readiness of the "sca i lea" tp drop from the eyes. Why not make it unanimous? , ?' 0 IN MEMORIAM 1 Our town was made sad last Friday afternoon about 3 o'cl ock, when the" news spread that ' little Joseph Dawson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert B?-Tay lor, aged 6 years had passed . from this world to one of great k er happiness ^and joy. He was bright and happy un til Tuesday evening when he - spoke of being sick; on Wed i nesday morning, the doctor Lama n I. - -11 *rew j better, and there was no thou , f ht of anything serious. Friday I He became seriously ill, and be fore those who heard could ful ly take in the fact of the state t ment, the little spirit had gone . back to God who gave it. All possible was done by faithful physicians and loved ones to 1 prolong his life, but our Heav enly Father, who knoweth best willed that it should be other wise and he went, to be with the angels. The hearts of his parents are torn and bleeding, aa in this little life they had centered ho pes which are too sacred and high to be recounted, though Heaven has been enriched by one of the dearest little angels that ever brought divine love and light into the hearts of fond parents through his sweet smi le. The home is broken, and the first shadow cast upon the fire side of the happy home* though the sweet, bright jewel had be en loaned to them to keep for a while; and while thgir home is shrouded in gloom, over It also hangs God's rainbow of prom ise : "Fill never leave thee nor forsake thee." Thp father uraa pnmnlotolv . 'prostrated with grief, while the broken hearted mother hid her grief from her husband, urging I him to be submissive, and to be- | come reconciled to God's will; that if it was His will to take i their darling home that she co uld give him up, that they co- ] uld still be happy with their 1 little girl of two years. It was - sad yet beautiful to see the mot her kneel and clasp the little hand, cold in death, and pray that she might meet her child at the golden gate, and look ag ain in those lovely, bright eyes. She finds comfort in His prom ises that bye and bye, through faith, she may enter in at the golden gate, where the curtains will be lifted and she will see him more beautiful than ever before, in the bosom of her Hea venly Father, clasping his little hands with gladness as mama and papa, and little sister come in. Is this all the meaning of this dad Providence? If it were, those who are left might well pour out their tears without measure, night and day. But it is not all; it is true another life has vanished. It .has passed through death however; to en ter upon bn immortal life of ho liness, beauty and fellowship! with our Saviour, under his ten der and unceasing care, to ex pand into nobler, richer and more beautiful life than cbuld be reached upon earth. Little Joe loved his Sabbath School, and was never happier than when attending its servi ces, being a faithful attendant from babyhood. On Saturday morning, January 29th., his lit tle body was taken to Norfolk, Va., where funeral and inter ment tpok place Saturday af ternoon. We extend our deepest sym pathy to the. grief stricken par ents, and pray that God's bles sings abide with their precious jewel on the shores of a bright er world above. They could npt bear to lose their dar ling boy From out of their lives snd bear the pain Keep living on to see him no more, But for the hope that-they will meet again. Yes, meet again in that dear home of love. After the storms and heartaches ate o'er; The so thing thought of that welcome home, When they meet their darling gone en before. - ' .-*1" i Rub-My-Tiam for Rheumatism. lake notice that an action entitled as I above hae been commenced in the 8u oeror Court of Hertford County.
