GASOLINE STATION
TO NAME THE TOWN
Bill Brewer who operates a gas
! eliae filling station on the side of
the State Highway near the high
school building has already grown
tired of telling folks who stop at
his place of business "this is Ahos
Ide." The through motorists who
pass his way are forever asking
what town they are passing, since
the State Highway signs along the
route fail to mention Ahoskie.
Brewer was growling about be
ing bothered so much when one
of the Chamber of Commerce di
rectors overheard him.. The mat
ter wo* reported to the directors
of the Chamber at their regular
meeting Monday night, and n mo
tion was immediately passed to
erect a large sign on top of the
filling station, painting on both
sides something like thisi "This Is i
AHOSKJE". the thing was or
tiered done and the sign will be in
place within a few days.
"But?"
"No." ?
"Just?"
"No." cinmfc
"Once?"
"No."
"Plenee?"
"No."
"XXX."
"Oh, Jack, why didn't you shave?"
LOCAL BANKS DO
) HEAVY BUSINESS
One of the bast karoautin of
the ri*e and fall of prosperity ia
found ia the banlu of aay commu
nity; and for that roaaoa folk*
usually consider the bankers esti
mate of business conditions as aaar
correct as it can bo safely arrived
at.
la Ahoslde and vicinity, tbe
bankers say, tbere is more casb
money now than in 1919, when the
coin and its substitute paper cur
rency was bulging out of every
man's pockets. Last Saturday was
tbe biggest day in tka history .of
one of the local banks in tbe mat
ter of deposits, the total being not
far bo low a round hundred thous
and dollars. There was a waiting
line at the bank windows rar-t all
day long; and those wait'ag did
not leavo all the money ia the bank
many of them taking the cash off
with the m, to "salt" it away or to
pay off existing debts.
The month of October was like
wise the biggest month in depos
its at this bank. In fact, so gr at
was the increase that it was actual
ly necessary for the bank offiters
to install a brand now filing sys
tem for deposit slips. The old one
would not bold them. Even .that
never happened in 1919, when we
were all young Henry Fords.
STAMP FOR LITERATURE
For weeks be had been illHin the
hospital. With the beginning of con
valescence he called loudly for food,
declaring he was being starved.
"The doctor says you may have
something to eat tomorrow," said the
nurse soothingly.
"Here's your dinner," and she gave
him a spoonful of tapicoa, adding,
"The doctor says that everything else
you do must be in the same propor
tion."
"Nurse," he gasped, "! want to do
some reading now; please bring me a
postage stamp."?From Everybody's
Magazine for October.
"Why do you suppose chiroprac
tors are so successful?'
"They help a lot of people find
their backbones".
