Ever notice that the ex-soldiers
were much "nearer" the hearts of the
a public while "somewhere in France"
than at the present time, while "some
where in America?" Yes, Oui, too
true.
Again attention is called to ad ris
ibility, yes, the absolute necessity, of
Spring advertising, as a means of
bbosting business in an otherwise
dull season, eespeciaUy in the mer
chandise Add. An advertisement in
the Herald is the best investment pos
sible to make, if considered from
the viewpoint of increased business.
The point is, why so many merchants
continually dodge prosperity by re
fusing to use the columns of the Her
ald to boost their wares. Some are
cashing in on the value of advertis
j*g| ing, why not you?

A casual observation will be all
that is necessary to convince any one
that Ahoskie needs more protection
at the railroad crossings. Many in-'
stances might be cited, in regards to
passing school children in particular,
in which the element of danger is
ever-present at these places. The
"city fathers" might cause action on
the part of the railroad officials to
place gates or some other "safety
first" appliance at the three principal
crossings, at least. It is one of these
much needed improvements whereby
our town would become a safer and
better place n regards to traffic es
pecially.

The Herald has refrained from
"starting something" in regards to
"Clean-up Week," being constrained
by the hope that some of the "pub
lic-spirited" town officers wonld take
some action about it, as in previous
years. But April wanes, and no
one in this progressive town has given
the subject a thought, if indications
mean anything. Other towns at this
season are "up-and-at-it," cleaning
front and back ysrds, planting flow
ers in unsightly spots, adding to the
appearances of the town in general.
Kit Ahoskie is too busy, too pro
gressive, to take time for these things.
I Not too late, though, but just in time
for somebody to start something.
Each citizen can do his part, by look
ing after his own premises, and seeing
to it that they, at least, receive atten
tion. If everyone would do this,
"Clean-up Week would be unnecea
. sary.

Already we see signs of it; the
oncoming Summer Relaxation, the or
!. ganization of that far-famed Order
of the 8ons of Rest, of which we have
an abundance of local representatives.
Let a warm day come, and we see
'em, with that longing, hopeful look
in their eyes, in anticipation of leisure
p., hours, checker boards, drug store
benches, and other accessories to the
gentle art of loafing. Ahoskie has
her full allottment of the above-men
tioned objects, commonly referred to
as men. God made them for men?
let *em pass for such. Our opinion
of the class of bipeds who drift thru
the summer, with no exertion other
than seeing the ball games, etc., is of
such a nature as will not be appro
P priate to express here. But after all
some there are who assert that the
i professional loafer is harmless, be
cause he never does anything, except
engage in gossip occasionally. But is
gossip, more often a a form of cal
umny, harmless! Let some reform
er start a "Society for the Eradication
Of Loafers" in this town, and there
will straightway be more tranquility
and leas discord in title, our own, our

Do we hear a second to the motion

Checkers is among the oldest of
games. Sixteen hundred years before
Christ it was played on the banks of
the Nile ih much the same manner
as it is now played by local cham

The ft ret commandment of modern
advertising: Thou ihalt deliver the
goods. Herald advertising has never
yet failed to deliver the goods, if.
given a fair chance. Mr. Merchant,
why not cash in on the value of
Herald advertising, as a means of in
creasing your volume of business?

Much cry about heavy taxes
everywhere. Ben Franklin said:
"We are taxed twice as much by our
idleness, three times as much by our
pride, And four times as much by
our folly." This bit of logic from
Ben might be of value to some of
Ahoskie'B good citixens who are mak
ing the above mentioned outcry.
