AJHOSKIE NOW MINUS ITS POLICE OFFICER O. H. Britton, Ahoslde Chief of Police, tendered his resignation to the town council Monday night, and it was accepted. The resignation went into effect immediately, and the town woke up Tuesday morning with out a police officer. Officer Britton gave as the reason of his action the small salary attached to the office, and announced that he would enter more remunerative business. A temporary appointment will be made until a regular officer can be named, which will be probably at the next meeting of the Board. E. Hayes was not present at the Monday night meeting. BEGINS WORK ON WALKER BUILDING Preliminary work has been started on the brick and office building for Dr. L. K. Walker on the North side of Main street, opposite the , Bank of Ahoslde. Connection is being made with the town wated system, in order to provide water for bricklayers who will soon be at work on the founda tion. According to late plans of Dr. Walker, the building will be larger than originally intended, and will not only include his own private office, but a modern drug store as well. A corrider will separate the offices from the drug store section. The entire structure will be of the best materials, and will be elabor ately finished. A tile floor will be laid in the store section. Limestone plants are taxed each year to take cars of September or ders. Farmers who are improving thair lands by growing alovers should give their orders for limestone as early as possible. IHf" * - v FLIVVER WORTH $280 IS INSURED FOR $10,000 Old Automobile Shown In Many Scenes of Welter Hiers' Comedy, "Sixty Cents en Hour" The largest insurance ever taken eat on a Ford automobile, it is said, was a policy for $10,000 taken out on ene of the machines at the Paramount West Coast studio for use in scene* of "Sixty Cents an Hour," a Para mount picture starring Walter Hiers with Jacqueline Logan featured in his support, which will be shown at the RICHARD THEATRE next Fri day and Saturday. Appearing early in the picture, the flivver is carried through to the last scenes, and pictur ed in several close shot*. tseacuse It would be hard to dupli cate the flivver, in case it was stolen or destroyed and because it had been registered in so many scenes and would have to be duplicated in such a case, Director Joseph Henabery re alised that was of utmoet importance that it be insured "to the limit" The estimated value of the Ford, which is old and has seen hard use, is about $$S0, just $9,780 less than the insurance it carired. The cast chosen for "8ixty Cents an Hour" is exceptionally strong. Jacequeline Logan, who so charming ly portrayed the leading feminine role in Hieris first picture, "Mr. Bil lings Spends His Dime," is featured as leading woman. Ricardo Cortes, recently discovered while dancing at Cocanut Grove, will play the heavy contract with Paramount. Others in the east are Charles Ogle, Lucille Ward, Robert Dudley, Guy Oliver, Clarence Burton and Calien Tate. *, e?wupimss?u??mnmswi!PmsBe*|nsw?psmss*emm?m . ^ * COAST LINE GOES ? ? UP; W. A P.

SIGNS OF KLUCKERS ARE SEEN LOCALLY Ahoskie may or may not have a Ku Klux Klan organisation, but the presence of organisers* on several different occasions within the last two months has lent hooded enchant ment in this neighborhood lately. Ahoskie is not the only place in the county visited either; one or two or ganisers have been seen in other sec tions ef the aounty. It is hardly possible that there has been a local organisation aatQ re cently, if there is one even now. At least, no reports tending to verify have come within range of vision, however, the presence of the robed Kluckers might reasonably be expect ed in Ahoskie. Now is the time when good farm ers are getting their exhibits ready for the county fair. A liberal supply of kitchen aprons made of good material and eaaily laundered are of value to the house wife. They soon pay for themselves in protection to dresses, say home demonstration workera of the State College and Department of Agricul ture. RICHARD THEATER AHOSKIE, N. C.
