F?tvie? Ail unless Rs?vs?wd?? I I THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATE I FRIDAY, MAY 11, 1923. THE BENEDICT'S PRIMER "What make* tki* f*; "look so happy?" He is setting forth on a voyage on the Sea of Matrimony. "Will he have smooth sailing all the way 7" He thinks so. "Who is he, anyway V* Why, that's Ye Editor of Ye Hert forde Countie Herald. "What is his name?" J. Roy Parker, ESQUIRE and wife. "Whoa will he return from this voyageV No definite details have as yet been released for publication. In an interview granted a reporter for the Hertford County Herald, Mr. Parker stated that he would be gone until the money ran out. Public opinion gen. erally concedes that he has just started on his journey. Rumor has it that he will be barred from stap social activities in this city in the fu ture. The Benedict's Pinochle and Checker Society anxiously await his return, at which time an enormous function will be staged, attended by a bevy of beauty from among the Younger Married Set, doubtless ac-, companied by their lesser and worser halves. A Domino Tournament is being arranged for the occasion. A wild and joyous time is anticipated by all and it is rumored a supply of Baby-Pink Lemonade will be smug gled in for the event CLEAN-UP WEEK FOR AHOSK1E Excellent results having been ob tained frorti the April clean-up week, especially in the residential sections of Ahoskie, but observing much yet remaining in the business section of the town, of trash, of rub bish, and of filth which is both un sightly and unsanitary, the third week in May, 14th to lfith, in hereby designated as clean-up week and it is especially urged that it be observed as such, to the end that this town may be a cleaner and more healthful place in which to live. Should we not muster our forces before the summer is here and oblit erate the nesting places of man's arc! enemies, the fly and the fnosquito and thus meet every sanitary inspec tor's approval? Respectfully yours, L. C. WILLIAMS, Mayor Mother is name for God in the lipi and hearts of children.?Thackery. The bravest battle that ever wai ?Hk:;'* Shall I tell you where and when? On the maps of the world you-will find it not; It was fought by the mothers of men three by four feet apart, to plant ar aere Do you have your suppl) worker, of the State College and De OFFICE CAT I BREED from the yoke of op pressive restraint so often imposed on us by Ye Editor and basking in the revivify ing atmosphere resulting from his absence, we have decided to let our selves out this week. First and fore most, the CAT takes pleasure un parelled in our generation (which is necessarily limited} in introducing to a loving and appreciative public our heirs and assigns, to wit, Sally, Patica and Tom, Jr. Their several pictures, by our staff photographer, are inter spersed between the effusions in this column. The children and mother are all doing well, thank you! Much dope ih going the rounds since the election. It is rumored that certain 5 to 1 beta offered were fortunately without takers. Our honored colleague was defeated but that isn't grieving us like the ignor- i insr bv the nublic of the CAT'S candi dates. The Askew is b nobly under - iny of his tr ^ those base once proud claimed the Hon. Rosh earing u p ' the ignom- 1 eatmefit by hearts who My pro- , mselves the friends of 'this dignified personage. ' Base, shameful and odious as has 1 been their conduct, our exalted as pirant for office has expressed a de sire to retire from public life and forget the wrongs visited upon him. ] Walking in the paths of rectitude, , may he be unmindful of these Bene dict Arnolds! , Now that our fair town has chosen, may they find the proof of their pud ding in the eating. With a progress- i ive council,.the unlimited possibilities for good actions are with us. No better start could be made than to give to our people those things that they want. The excessive lights which illuminate our town make em barrassingly inconvenient the amor ous activities of our cats. Melod k M ious yowling under gome mere citizen's 1 window is both hazard ous and without proper setting. Much better would be a statp of affairs in which accur ate aim of hair-brushes from upper casements would be impossible. Bet ter Stygian darkness than kilowat tian light. The CAT advocates turn ing off all town light at ten o'clock. As the yeggs say, "Douse the glim and let us crack the safe." With only one cop and he not even aprov ed by the CAT and no lights to keep us wake, let pillage run rife and un restrained. On with the jimmy crowbar dance! % One of our mere citizens informs us that Walter Curtis can't get any burglary insurance. The companies feel that it would be useless to take our money for prem- v turns when no risk ex ists in our town. Such ? philanthropy is com- "1 mendable and our Town Council ought to tend a vote" of confi aence in sucn penignani actions, rney could be saved this trouble, however, by adopting the CAT'S plan and creating a risk by turning off our lights early. This would benefit the insurance companies and might even 1 give the life insurance agents anoth er talking point. Insurance ought to 1 be easier to sell if a man's got a good > chance of being knocked in the head with a blackjack on our Main street after the zero hour. We are glad to offer these valuable suggestions with . out though thought of personal re ward. Take them for what they are , worth. * ? v . The Peanut James Vinson says folks who never do more than they're paid for, 1 never get paid for more than they do. / ??? Cy Kology says God may give us our* relatives but we even up for them by having the privilege of se t lecting our friends. r "Nerve" has various meanings. For i instance, it takes one kind of nerve ? to fight a bull, and another kind to "I with now", said a speaker' in Winton recently, according to Bill Brewer, "to tax your memory?" A wail arose from a sparse looking gen tleman in a front seat: "Has it come to this?" "That's me all over Mabel," said the poison ivey as a girl with a pimpled face went by. A normal .child is one that reaches its sixth birthday about thq time it acquires the nickel habit. ' "I'm getting a lot out of this" said the girl as she drew the lucky tieket in the Real Estate contest! "Column right," remarking the bookkeeper as he saw the account balanced. ? i , >?? ?????? Lines * I told her just how beautiful She was, how ?weet and fair; How lightly, gracefully she danced, As tho' she tripped on air. ' So when I begged, "Just one small kiss," She yielded to my insistence, For hadn't I been shooting her The line of least resistance? When a politician of the old school tries to come back he usually finds that his class was dismissed long ago, says an Ahofekie voter. The old-fashioned boy 'who was whipped for playing marbles for keeps now has a son who wonft even play matrimony for keepe. S. P. Burgess says about one fourth of the world's' work is repair ing someone's mistakes. Sleepy Newsome says there are only a few persons bull-headed enough to risk a long conversation with a book agent. "Happy" Yert is strong for science, but thinks it is unfortunate that every important new invention keeps people up later. "Let's settle down," says a New York edifor, and we hasten to add that it might be a good idea for a lot of people to settle up at the same time. All mothers, says a woman poli tician, should have the vote. But no amount of representation will force the teething infant to let them have ah eight-hour night. A Builder's Creed More faith in ourselves we need; More faith in the other man; More faith in the friendly deed; More faith in the helping hand; More faith in our nation's glory; More faith in the men who lead; More* faith in love's old story? Let's take that for our creed! Adversity often serves as an in spiration. The worm turns even more vigorously after it gets the hook. _____ ? i Other crops may be failures, but neither drouth nor flood, hail, in sects or anything else prevents an abundant crop of politics and poli ticians. Remember the first time your lips met tier's and how foolish and em barrassed you felt; remember the other night when you broke the world's record endurance test.
