FORMER ROAD MAN NOW CONTRACTING "I never worked so herd in my life as I did While superintendent of roads in Hertford County," said F. G. Hines, former employee of this county, Monday morning. Mr. Hines was spending a few hours in Ahoskie on business, and, as usual, was free to discuss the changes that have been made in the road work in the county. He does not believe this county will reap anything like a fair return from its half million dollar bond is sue, so" long as the affairs are con ducted as at present He was posi tive in his belief that mors attention would have to be given to mainten ance, and to completion of roads which have already been graded. Mr. Hines is now engaged in the ropd construction business, having re cently organised his own company. It is know as the F. G. Hines Construct ion Company. Two carloads of road equipment, and about thirty mules have been acquired by him. Hia company has a contract for the grading of a road, from Carrsville to Courtland, Va., an eight-mile section of the Virginia highway from Suffolk to Franklin. This road will be hard surfaced as fiist as the work of grad ing proceeds. THURSDAY LAST DAY OF ELECTRIC SERVICE There will be no further day ser vice provided by the municipal elec tric plant The retired members of the town council ordered the current switched on for 16 days in May, and an accurate record of cost of opera tion kept both for night service only and for full time. This record has been carefully kept by the superintendent of the plant and may be presented to the new board. Future action depends upon whatever action the new board takes at ita first iheeting. The new members, E. Hayes, H. S. Basnight, and D. L. Myers were sworn in two weeks ago, but have not met for the transaction of business. Next Monday night will be their first meeting.

Hit. ~ -?< % ;r~ CHAUTAUAUA CLOSES ITS FOURTH YEAR PI AHOSHE Committee To Secure 1924 Guarantors Working For One Hundred Signers After four years of conse cutive entertainments, every year of which has been signali zed by a loss to each individual guarantor of from $8 to $15, it looks like Ahosk^e will not make possible the return of Swarthmore Chautauqua for the year 1924. Wednesday night, between acts of the play, a heroic effort was made to secure one hund red signers of the contract, making each signer liable for $13 worth of season tickets. When all the returns were in and a count made, only twenty three persons had placed their name on the dotted line. A short meeting of those who had signed was -held immediately after the play, and committees were appointed from among them to solicit other signers during Thursday and probably Friday. Revs. E. J. Isenhower, and S. T. Barber, pastors of the local churched made strong pleas for the return of Chautauqua in 1924, each pledging his name and support for a return engagement. Prank P. Meadows, sec retary of the chamber of commerce, also made a strong talk in which he told his hearers "a few Ahoslde people were tired1 of bringing Chau tauqua back to Ahoskie for the other fellow to enjoy:" and he plead for the signing of the contract by those who had never before supported it. Whether it returns will be entirely dependent upon the worlc of the can vassing committee that is working here today. The-same experience has been Ahoskie's each year chautauqua has come here.' Last minute rallies have saved it, after the cause looked hopeless. The programs this year have been good, including musical numbers and lectures. Especially good were the Swiss Yodlers; and the lectures of Dr. Frank Dixon and Frank Pearson. The lecture by Dr. Dixon attracted a large crowd both from Ahoskie and the nearby towns. Wednesday's programs, both after noon and night, were perhaps the best of the entire six days here. In the afternoon, the Junior Chautauqua Pageant was presented, and, as usual, the boys and girls gave a fine entertainment. It was followed by child impersonation, given by Esther Lois Schenkel. This was one of the very best attractions of the week. "Crossed Wires", a comedy drama played by a group of the Province town Players, closed the chautauqua program. The play lived up to the reputation of its predecessors as be ing the best drawing card of the chautauqua. It also shone as an en tertainer, ranking 'along with the other popular plays given here. The chautauqua tent was filled to its ca pacity, and mirth and fun filled the tent during all three acts of the play. Ponce de Leon was killed by In dians.
