F?iipi AJi mWii Rspw?Oltw I THE MmiCAH ASSOCIATION FRIDAY, MARCH 16,1923 GOOD ADVERTISING "One of the very best ways to advertise our town is by mak ing it attractive" are words of common phraseology, but, like the Ahoskie man who made that statement one day this week, the HERALD knows it has a world of meaning. In fact, it is a statement and a truth undeniable by ?ny sane and thoughtful person, and will be accepted and endorsed by Ahoskie people generally. How to make Ahoskie at tractive may be, and is a ques tion upon which there is differ ence of opinion, although most persons here agree on the things it takes to do it The one big difference? arises m the pri mary or most essential things needed. There are so many ways in which attractiveness can be accomplished, it is pretty hard for the average person to settle on the first number on the pro gram. The primary and principal end for which Ahoskie should strive in a program of making itself attractive is by cleaning up. Like the feminine seeker of beauty and attractiveness, the townspeople should seek a clean town, free from filth and dirt. When that is done, it will be plenty time to figure on what additions are needed to add to attractiveness. First scour the surface; then apply the cos metics. ?? ? v.?* That is why every person in Ahoskie should extend the full est co-operation in the shop to the town authorities in a clean up campaign. Next Monday has been designated Clean-Upj Day here by the council, the Mayor has issued his proclama tion. He says "Meet me inj ' working clothes." The call is made and is intended for every Ahoskie person interested in making Ahoskie attractive. Let's make the town not only a fit place to live, but make it bo attractive and so alluring to the outside person that it will draw him here, either for trade or to make it his home. It will be the best advertising Ahoskie can get. An4, when Ahoskie has been cleaned up, make it so hot for person or persons who careless lessly throw rubbish here and there that sentiment will be so strongly opposed to such action ' as to make 'it unnecessary Ho look ftt these unsightly and of fensive vacant lots, and streets for a whole year, or until Clean Up time comes around again, Clean-up, and keep it clean ! to the alumnae and former students of chowan college All arrangements have been made for the annuel banquet to be held at Durham during the meeting of the W.

Here cornea our friend, Mr. Vane ' and puta another kink in the CAT'S tail. Speaker Dawaon'a word ia high er law than mine, ao, if he want* to vote twice and aaya it'a the proper thing to do, I yield to him aa to the North Carolina Legislature. But, until diaproven, Mr. Eley wins in the matter of double voting at the Nat ional Capitol. If I remember correctly, Mr. Vann haa never been "assailed" by the CAT, or by any other of his "op ponents". The writings on both sides have been upon the issue of double voting, and haa not been per sonaL Difference of opinion between the biggest of men in a dog-gone good sign of real demoraey. Boiling this thing down to a final analysis, there seems to be no argu ment Opinion is unanimous that Doctor Mitchell's vote* was both un timely and inexpedient, considering the small membership of the body; although no one has ever made the assertion that it was unlawful. Gen tlemen; where's the argument? i "Let's take a swim in the munici pal pond", or words to that effect went the rounds in Ahoskie Tuesday about noon. Heavy downpours of rain Monday night ?nd Tuesday morning had banked up water from improperly drained streets, and there were several nice swimming holes scattered about town. If you dont believe the CAT and want to start any argument about this thing, con sult J. Bailey Barnes, of the Barnes Sawyer Wholesale Grocery Company. His place bid for honors against Noah's Ark early that afternoon. Tne news gatherer on this sheet is filling the columns so full of "what the people want", it keeps the mail ing galley man busy these days adding new names to the subscription list. Never has the CAT seen, either in Hertford County or in Indiana, such a live, wide-awake bunch of corres pondents. "I saw it in the HERALD" is a patented phrase for a multitude of subscribers. Engineers of the ?tate Highway Commission have said Hertford County has as fine a soil for road building aa any section of the country, so the CAT is "reliably informed." How I do wish these fellows had come here many years ago and demonstrat ed that statement. "Give us b recount!" "FraudP' "Crooked work!" These were some of the ejaculations of an eager crowd of campaigners crowding around the desk of Hie HERALD edi tor, when the hands of the clock pointed to midnight, last Saturday. It was all about the "Queen Contest", which at one thne threatened to de velop into a King pin contest, with workers for their favorite candidate getting their "Mus#"up. When things begin to get on edge with old man gloom stalking about, and when the town lacks something for interest, the CAT suggests a vot ing contest on the lasiest, good-for nothingest man in this whole terri tory. Wo are still on a war basis. When [ dinner is ready the whole family t volunteers, but when the dishes are to be washed mother had to do some drafting. KERRECT1 ' Love and porous plasters, son, Are very mack alike It's simple getting into one, But getting out?Good-night! i Many automobiles pick up fast and i so do a lot of Junk dealers.

They only had two wheels to Idee when they ran into s ditch. ' Dance Thomas says one angel of social unrest is best typified by a r small boy, with an unspent nickle in , his pocket. The girl's mother told her that if i her sweetheart should get sentimental I to sit on him. So she did?right on . his lap. I Jud Tunkins says publicity doesn't i necessarily please the public. Nobody enjoys the magician's tricks after learning how they are done. ONLY WAY OUT "Tough about poor Smith, wasn't it?" said Jones gloomily. "What happened to him?" asked Brown. "He got so far behind in his room rent that he had t0 marry his land lady," replied Jones. Vandy Jenkins says some families just will spend' their money for food when there isn't a single pair of silk stockings in the house. "" ll What will become 'of our young people? wails a reformer. Oh, they'll grow old and worry about the young people. Any man is well off who thinks he is, even if he hasn't a penny. Mental wealth is more lasting than dollar wealth. Women looking for some quiet place to spend the afternoon might try the stores of some merchant who doesn't advertise. r Rosh Askew has noticed that a profit, also, is often without honor in its home town. Miss Effle Luffler, teacher of sing ing; "Special pains to beginners."? Advertisement in Ohio paper. Boy (laying down parcel) Mother's changed her mind, die doesn't want kidneys, she wants liver. Butcher?What she wants, my boy, is brains! It is difficult to understand how some restaurants, in making corn cakes, can afford to mix anything as expensive as cement with anything as cheap as corn meal is. When does the middle West begin? Asks a writer, uncertain in his geography. Pretty early in the morning. Paul Duke* says a wise man wor ries over a lot of things that a fool never thinka of. SOMETHING QUEER ABOUT HER A horrible mistake was made by a girl who killed a man a few days ago. She had neglected to keep a diary. The other end of the "easy way" is not well paved. Good-bye, folks!

His sermons were good, both morning and evening, and at the evening service be especially urged his people to observe next Mon day as clean-up day. He combined the spiritual with the material as they go hand in hand. "Cleanliness is next to Godliness," and he tried to press home this thought to his congregation which we feel should merit our con sideration. The Methodist congregation has recently installed a new piano in their church here. It is welcomed as a much needed improvement. sotlens " pnm Wash-Water W ? f Clothes wash cleaner and whiter, and last longer when you use Red Seal Lye to soften the wash-water.
