AHOSKIE BOYS VISIT STRICKEN JAPANESE While some AheeUe persons are firing of their moans to hotp the stricken Japanese, thousands of whom bars died aa the result of the severe earthquakes, two young man from this town are either already oa the scene or on their way to adminis ter relief supplies and in ether ways offer aid and succor to dupon. They ere Thomas J. Kiff and H.rvey Wil son, heth of whom are mimhors of the United States Navy. Yen eg Wilson, who is the sea of Mr. and.Mrs. M. V. Wilson of this town, is a seemher of the crow of the U. S. S. Block Hawk, an auxiliary which was in Asiatic waters whan the earthquake did their terrible work in Yokohoma, and other cities of Japan. Sailor Kiff is doing doty on tho U. S. S. Artie, which ship has been off tho West Coast on its sammer Pacific cruise. He is the sea of Mr. and Mrs. A. O. Kiff, the former one of the "saltiest" ef Sailors who over wore the uniform of Uncle Sam. Tha Black Hawk was oae of tho vary first ships to roaah tho scone of destruction, carrying supplies and offering refuge to tha homeless. Last Friday, tha Artie sailed from tho West Coast for Japan, carrying sup plies donated by Americans. Both of ! these AhoeMe young sailors are probably in the stricken arem seeing the very things of wUah sth#i of as have been reading fee the last two Harry Baker, another Ahoshde boy who is a member of the crew ef the Ii. S. S. Pennsylvania, one of the Nation's pride, is also on the West Const, end asay get aa opportunity to visit Japan. Mr. A. O. Kiff, father of the young er man by tha same same, was him self n United States sailor far sev eral years in his ynuager days. Ha stayed in tha Navy long enough M take tripe practically encircling tha Glaba. Whan ha was a "Salty Sail or", Unfile Sam did not list saah fast, sra-go&g, ,hipe as today, and the life of the sailor wee not so satining as that his yoaag son is usad to ox* pS!TSSBCS*Re ? New York Company for the location of the factory. L. Mosquera, President, and W. P. Raab, first vice-president, are the two officials coming to Ahoskie. Mr. Mosquera is an experienced tobacco manufacturer of several years; Mr. Haab was one of the organizers of 1 the Dutchess Trouser Company, and for 80 years was connected in an ex ecutive capacity with the company. He left that company several months ago, after thoroughly investigating the Wall Street Tobacco Corporation, and is new its executive. When the date is set for a mass meeting, automobiles will go out from here through the surrounding country urge attendance, espec ially upon fanners who raise tobacco and, in fact, to all persons in this trade adea. Citizens from other towns in the county and adjoining county will also be invited to the meeting. '0 '\ ? V ? ,, The fact that the demand for man ufactured tobacco is growing by big percentages, and the further fact the Wall Street Corporation is com ing into North Carolina or Virginia to erect their main plant, right here in the midst of the tobacco growing area, coupled with the connection of a local man with the company, has caused a genuine interest in the prop osition here. The one big question is can Ahoskie offer sufficient induce ments to swing the proposition. Until that ia disproven (there is no such thing as failure in Mr Greene's make up) Ahoskie is lending the full weight of its interests to make this town look so big to the eye of the visitors that thoy will accept Ahoskie as the home of the Wall Street Corporation. WIDOW/ 38, IN LOVE; HER CHILDREN OBJECT; SHOULD MAMMA WED? One of life's deepest problems Shall a widow of thirty-eight or forty yean renounce all hope# of another love romance in order to obey the wishes of her children, almost grown? ?forma the basis of William de MiUe's Paramount production of "Only 88." Lois Wilson, one of four featured players, enacts the role of such a mother. May McAvey ia the grown-up daughter and ia also fea tured, aa are Elliott Dexter and George Fawcett. "A woman's right to lore and to be laved never ends," declares Miss Wil son. "When her first husband passes away, that ought not to mean that his widow live the reat of her life alone and unhappy. She should be able to again sank romance and cheer. In 'Only DC I play the role of a woman leas than two-score years old, a widow who finds love again but whose sec ond romance is opposed by her chil dren. I feel certain that I would not spufn happiness were I faced with the same issue bi real Hfe." ? "Although, as the daughter in *Only 39,' I oppose my mother's romance following the death of my father, I would never think of such a thing actually," says Hiss McAvoy. "A mother has the same right to romance as her children. If she thinks it wrong to marry, believing it a dis respect to her dead husband, then she should act as she thinks best! At most, it should not be the business of her children to judge for her. On the other hand, the children would eoon mary themselves (automatically leaving the mother alen.) Unselfish children naturally think of this be forehand." A FALSE RUMOR In as much as it has been rumored that Dr. A. W. Greene delayed in the matter of sending our son to the hos pital and that he used hot water ap plications to his aide and thus ripened his appendix instead of using ice, and thereby contributing to the critical condition of the case, we his paMnts, wish to correct all such impressions. For Dr. Greene was not called to see him until 8 or 9 o'clock on the even ing before the boy was removed to the hospital, and instead of using the hot water applications as has been rumored, he sated the ice applications and did everything that he could have done to relieve him and to stay the progress of the trouble. And we do not in any way hold Dr. Greene responsible for the critical condition of the boy. MB. and MRS. C. E. HARRIS. THANKS FOR SHOWER While the sun was in eclipse on Monday afternoon, September 10, 1928, and without the slightest warn ing, a bounteful shower, just suited to the needs of new housekeepers, fell from the hands of many friends, into our newly established home. We accept each of those thoughtful gifts as from the hand and heart of a friend, and wish thus to publicly ex press our sincere thanks. MR. and MRS. L. C. WILLIAMS. RICHARD THEATER AHOSKIE, N. C.
