Hertford County Herald Published Every Friday by VINSON * PARKER Owntn J. ROY PARKER -Editor JAMES S. VINSON HUM* Subscription Prion On* Year ?1.60 Six Months .75 Three Months - .40 N Achrtrtiiisi Rata* Very reasonable and made known on request Entered as second-class mail matter February 25, 1910, at the poaofflce at Ahoakie, North Carolina, under the Act of March S, 1878. T TT?FAMOtc1w1pRE^'AMIjCTATl "N | FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 1R23 a Hmely measure? The bill introduced by Sena tor Costen of this District, and three other senators, having for its purpose the construction of a direct highway from Win ton to Suffolk will meet with instantaneous approval and support by a large part of Hert ford County, and all of Bertie, Martin, Pitt, Beaufort and Washington. Gates county will be primarily benefitted, by the taking over of an extra sec tion of its roads. There is, however, more to this proposal than the taking over of a few additional miles of Gates county roads. It will give the people of six or seven of eastern Carolina's richest counties a direct route to Suf folk and Norfolk, and vice ver sa. Under the present scheme of things there is no direct roete. Virginia highway authorities and the business interests of Suffolk and Norfolk are pre sumably favorable to such a connection; it will be good1 business for them. The North Carolina counties are likewise interested, because they have large business dealings in the Virginia city. It is a thing that should be consumated, and probably will. GIVE IT TO THEM? Next Monday when the road board makes a request for more funds to use on the county roads, the money should be forthcoming. Of course, that assertion is predicated upon the belief that the money can be advanced without in any way injuring the contract which disposed of all the road bonds. It may become necessary to "anticipate" future payments of the monthly $10,000 stipend from the bond buyers; but, even if it does, it would be far better to do that for the sake of making permanent the princi pal county highways than to hamper the work and allow what has already been dpne be washed away. Under the terms of the bond sale, there is but little, if any, prospect or hope of doing anything more than has already been done on the roam. For the sake of Hertford county roads, some way out of the situation should be consu mated at Winton Monday. JUDGE OLIVER H. ALLEN? Hertford County it this week host to one of the oldest superior court judges in the State, hi point of actual service on the bench. Judge Oliver H. Allen, of Goldsboro, is presid ing over superior court in Win ton, coming here as emergency judge to Uke the place of |frank Daniels, another veteran jurist, whose aged mother is seriously ill. Judge Allen follows Judge J. Lloyd Horton to tills county the oldest in service and the youngest in age of North Caro lina superior court judges. Not I OFFICE CAT TRAOC MA*K I corrwtttHT ?v wm aiaaw ww. | "We ere in thl? thing to stick", writes Harry B. Spear who is working on the proposition of providing elec tric current for the towns in this neighborhood from the plant at Ahos kie. "Our men are not in the least discouraged, and we are confident we are going to get some real results," he adds. "What about this electric current business anyway," is in the mouths of the Powellsville, Colerain, Winton Mid Murfreesboro people. They are right now in the interogatory stage, and are smiting to be shown. When this thb^g' has had time to seep in right good, Ahoskie and the other towns are going to enter in an agree ment whole-heartedly, and the CAT predicts there will be a "we wouldn't do without it" attitude within a short time after the current has been turn ed on. Friend Cotton who wrote a com munication for this paper a few weeks ago has had his heart's desire eased. The CAT ran his eye oyer the paper going off the press today, and saw "Harrellsville Locals" head ing a column. Other communities are invited to come in; the news gatherer says he wants the news. Lat me toll you folk*, this koro newspaper is carrying more local ?owe, of Ahoskio ud Hertford County, in one issue thou you yot from any other source in a couple of osonths.- Every one of the columns are so filled with lira community news hare lately that it is hard for the CAT to open up Hke ho is purring to do. If the loadois are anjoyiac the reading of it as thoroughly as the paper ton are enjoying the gath ering of it, it's time for a general jubrtaa. "It will go over with a bang," is what they are saying about the HERTFORD COUNTY BUILDING A LOAN ASSOCIATION. Why such an organization has not been organi zed long before this time is the only perplexing thing about the whole | business. The news columns say eight j men started R off with subscriptions to almost one-fifth of the required stock to begin operations. "It is for the little, medium-sised, | person; no matter how meagre the earnipga most any one can afford to pay 26 cents a week for a $100 share. That is what it will cost. Of course, the large majority will want more than one share. 0-ver the country in city and dale, F-riend Office Cat wag* his funny tail; F ull of rood jokes and wise sayings, too, 1-f you Hke a real laugh, hell give you the cue. ?

Put them together, they spell -OF long ago state papers carried a lengthy account of a similar occurrence at Goldsboro, the home town of the retired jurist. Whatever Judge Allen may lack in youthful aggression and agility of body is more than ov erbalanced by the moral, men tal and deeply religious convic tions all of which are deeply rooted and quickly discern able, both in his private life and in his adminstration of justice. Though he is himself a pious man and hates all things un-Godly, his treatment of criminals is tempered with meroy and free from, anything suggestive of haired for the person. He hates crime, and he hates the motive, but he has pity for the man. FICE CAT", you know, A col yum on joyed where ever you go. An inventor has patented a chain to be looped around a cuff button to prevent its being lost. A chain to prevent a collar button from skidding under the chiffonette would be a wel come adjunct to a man's trinket box, says Hugh Harrell. t Rosh Askew says horses nowadays seem to have a monoply on horse sense. If it is anybody's business to look after the boosting of your commun ity, it is yours. If you do not do your share of it, how will you have the nerve to profit by what others do? You may have noticed that the new silver dollars have treads like auto tires. This makes it possible for them to travel fast without skidding. Henry Ford has written his auto biography. One critic suggests that when Henry can utilise his hot air our flivvers will run without gas. "Will you be true to me when 1 am gone?" "Yes; but don't be gone long." DUD WILL SEND HIM HER DUDS "To the unfortunate individual who ran away with my wife last week, I wish to extend my sincere apprec iation and sympathy. If he will give me his address I will send what few clothes she overlooked. Be a sport and hang onto her. I am satisfied.? Dud Barnes." ? Adv. in Frazee (Minn.) Press. IT STILL LOOKS GOOD It appears that the French have begun to hate everything except American money. Professor Raynor says everything that was ever accomplished in this world was achieved with the samd equipment you possess. KER CHOOl "Where are you going, my pretty maid?" "I'm going to sneexe," said she. "At who? At who? At who? he said. "A-choo! A-chool A-chool" said she. "Marcel Transformed the Femin ine Head." After all, though, nothing will turn the a re rage feminine head like the first diamond ring. A fashionable new color is to be called "Hele blue". Lots of women look that way in blue. An EASY EXAMINATION When was the War of 1812? Who la the author of "Well's Out line of History?" In what season of the year do we have winter? What is the name of the state in which Indiana is located? Johnnie Britton says the main trouble about wild women is that they don't shoot that way. - '? J/. ' .
