INCOGNITO WAITER
Harrellsville, r$. C-, Oct. 81, 1922.
Editor Hertford County Herald,
Ahoskie, N- C.
Dear Sir?For the benefit of the tax
payers in general of Hertford County,
I would like to ask that you please
print in a conspicuous place in the
next issue of your paper, the name,
photograph, and date of tax receipt
of the knocker who wrote, or caused
to be written, the article in last
week's issue of the Herald, signed,
"A TAXPAYER."
As a constant reader of and sub
scriber to your paper, 1 can safely
say, I think a large percentage of
your subscribers would greatly ap
preciate you asking your brilliant
writers to confine themselves to facte;
and too, printed matter never shows
up to its best advantage when anony
mous. If in any case they cannot
write their names, advise them to
make a cross mark and have it wit
nessed.
Concerning tho article itself,?no
good can ever be derived from de
structive criticism, especially when it
re-open# an issue, which has been
settled, so I consider silent contempt
the proper mode of treatment
However, I want to inform the
readers of the Herald, that I am con
fident the Harrelleville Township tax
payers are supporting B. N. Sykes'
actions in the matter one hundred
per cent strong, because we feel and
believe he has put forth every avail
able effort to build roads for his
County by conservation of both time
and money. His actions have been
open to the public and straight from
the shoulder, ; always standing for
what he thought was right and sub
serving the best interests of the
county. He has not spent his time
and energy in finding out the wishes
of political "wire-pullers", "Die-hard
ers", or "knockers" who might want
him to "flop" to suit their wishes.
As I said before we are with B. N.
Sykes and with him to stay, and every
stroke of the knocker's pen eements
us tighter for better roads at a mini
mum cost J. A. POWELL.

A Call to the Farmers of Hertford and
Adjoining Counties to Exhibit at the
Hertford County Fair
?
WINTON, N. C.
November 14th to 17th, 1922
v
at
*
The management extends a hearty invitation to
every farmer to display something this year. If it is
only a peck of potatoes or a stalk of cotton it will
be appreciated. The success of the fair depends
upon the enthusiasm shown by the farmers and the
farm women in exhibiting their produce. We are
giving many prizes but every one can't be reward
ed. However, they should consider it their patriotic
duty to make a long and strong pull for the success
of the Hertford County Fair, and the success of the
enterprise depends upon the multiplicity of exhibi
tors.
All Together for the Biggest and Best
Fair Yet.
