Hertford County Herald Published Every Friday by VINSON * PARKER Owners JAMES S. VINSON, Editor and Manager Subscription Pries. One Year - $1.60 Stat Months ? .76 Three Months .40 Friday, May 5,1922 If you can't boost this town, don't knock it Keep quiet. 0 Bat winter lingering in the lap of spring does not keep off the spring fever that much longer. 0 If, paint were used as freely on buildings as on faces in this town? well, the buildings would be more at tractive. n Look oat, now voter*, you local voters, and don't promise a candidate for some pablic office that you will vote "right," and then vote for some body else. 0 The beet prescription for an ailing business : A good doee of advertis ing, regularly repeated, until "well." (By the way, the "until" will be toute da suite, *br in short order, if the Herald ads. are used.) ?I v L? As the school year comes to a dose, we are reminded, more forcibly than ever before, of the tremendous educa tional advantages of Ahoakie. Our lo cal high and grammar school should be a source of pride to every Ahos kian. With the largest graduating class this year in the history of not only Ahoskie, but of the entire county, It should be kept in mind that Ahoskie has the best high school in the Roan oke-Chowan section, and this fact should serve to stimulate the pride of those who have labored for just such a school as we have now have, as well 'as those who are interested for purely ? civic reasons. The Herald, recognis ing the fact that a town is judged by Ha school facilities, is' ever ready to lend aid to anything that goes toward the higher developmen of Ahoskie's school and its betterment. A ""U 1 Ahoskie's citizens are ever noted for their restless impatience. In this case reference is made to the tardy action of the Town Council, in the carrying out of the measures adopted at the meeting some time ago, to the extent -of various improvements to be made, and of which no steps have apparently been taken toward their execution. Some of the town's citi zens have asked: "When are these tilings to be done?" We pre sume, dear citizens, that the City Fathers will exercise their most ex cellent judgment in the manipulation of the city's affairs, and that the car rying out of these improvements will be in accordance with their perpetual policy of seeing to the interests of this town in a way that is marked by slow, deliberate action, with plenty of time hi the carrying out any and all improvements.

Tens is the largest state in the Union, bat about the largest thing around Ahoskie is taxes. Wives are wonderful things. Every man should have at least one, as a matter of practice in inventing ex cuses. Heeds no policeman's call, but thinks he knows it all. Turns corner fast and skids. Survived by wife and kids. _________ '' * , two-faced w?>uu? in Africa.^ Why-' did he go all the way to Africa to find one like that? He didn't know Ahoekie existed. We read that a full-fledged, eman cipated-and-independent suffragette was suing for divore in a Maryland court on grounds of non-support. If women are to be given the place of men, why do they want to be support ed? Yea, women are beyond the ken of ordinary mortals. A traveling man asked the other day: "Are the merchants of this town dead, or dying?" Answer; "some of both kind". Yes, some of Ahoakie's business men are dead, in one sense of the word, and some oth ers dying, who might be doing good business, if they knew the secret of business success?judicious advertis ing. "Disappearance of S h e p a r d Shrouded in Mystery still"?headline in "The Robesonian" of last week. Well, we have stills around Ahoskie, but evidently they are not shrouded in enough mystery to escape the local long arm of the law, in the person ages of the "Cop" and his deputise and helpers. Every once in a while, the Herald hears of "another one" be ing captured,?but never any of the "stuff." Always the outfit, and none of the product. , In 1441 printing was discovered. , Up until that time, the lips of the human race had been sealed. Since , that time, the march of progress in printing has not been interrupted. , Today, we have all over the country, printing offices, some well equipped, some poorly equipped, and some equipped far above the ordinary. It is of this last kind that the Herald profess to be, and is. We invite comparison. If you want printing done by printers who know, the Her ald office is the place for you. We print everything but money and stamps. While some of the editors have gone cuckoo oyer the question of flappers, and the moral degeneracy of the times, the Herald ftill persists that Ahoskie is a grand old place in which to live, and that there's no occasion for alarm as to the flapper situation in this town at the present time, at least. If any reformer wants a job, in Ahoskie, we suggest that he be put to work on curtailing the circulation of the fiery fluid in and around these parts. We see too frequent signs to the contrary to believe that everybody in this old burg accepts Mr. Vol stead's idea entirely. Otherwise, the moral situation in Ahoskie gives no undue cause for alarm. 0 QUEER QUESTIONS Answered in "The Heart of Mary land" at the RICHARD THEATRE, Monday and Tuesday.
