Entered as second-class mail matter February 25, 1810, at the posofflce at Ahoakie, North Carolina, under the Act of March S, 1878. FonIkb Advwtiaihi RaprtMHlaliv* THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION Friday, April 21,1922 This may be an "off" year in poli ties, bat the candidate crop appar ently will be up to normal. 0 The local preservers of the pnblic safety are not wholly dead, as is pop ularly supposed. Their latest efforts resulted in the capture of no leas than three brewers of the deadly fluid, as related in today's Herald. Here's a shake on that, "Officers," and the Herald is ever with you in your ef forts to bring all local operators of rum outfits to justice, and thus help to decrease the traffic in so far as is legally possible. 0 : Attention is called to the account of the "doins" of the local city fathers at their meeting Monday night which is published in this issue. The Herald h taking for granted that it will be voicing the sentiments of the entire, town and community when it says? "Tmlly for the city fathers," or in other phraseology, the , Board of Town Commissioners. Special note must be taken that a real, honest-to goodnesa Clean-up Week is to be one of the main things promoted by the aforementioned Council. This is one at the primary needs of our town at the present time. The other improve ments mentioned therein are to be hailed with welcoming enthusiasm ' , 0 While other county papers have ??tared the political aijeiia, the Herald stiQ remains the same, an independ ent, non-partisan paper, with no polit ical "preferences," no favoritism, the mouthpiece of no man or set of men. The Herald continues to fill its field, that of giving the news in a clear, consise way, and in this its manage ment solicits the co-operation of its family of readers. With no other end hi view than that of serving its sub scribers, this paper strives after one object, that of giving its readers what they want; namely, a local paper, full mt local happenings, and other good reading matter, told in an impartial way. To this end, we the manage ment, invite your hearty co-operation, and criticism, if necessary for the betterment of the Herald. A Dignity is but ? peculiar manifesta tion of gall. It is often the stock in trade of fools. We have those in Ahoskie who are inclined to be undnly dignified, both in everyday life and in the church. Yes, dignified to the ex tant of playing the fool at times. The donkey is popularly supposed to be the most stupid animal extant, ex cept possibly the cate-eater. He is aieo the most dignified?since the ex tinction of the dodo. This thing called dignity is often a species ot hand-swelling, because one has had the fortune to make a little money, or got into society, or something oi the sort. As a man's vision broadens, as he begins to realise what a miser able little microbe he is in that might) hnmensity, adorned with the incom parable handiwork of the Power thai transcends his contemplation, his dig aity drains off and he feels like askini to be recognized just long enough t* apologise for his existence. There art those in Ahoskie who might do wel to ease up a little on the dignity stuff and conduct themselves as if the; were on a common level with thosi who are in reality their superiors those who do not perpetually carr; that "better-than-anybody-else" air.
