BIG INCREASE IN COTTON GINNED According to official figures releas ed this week by the Department of Commerce, nearly three times as much cotton had been ginned in this county from the crop of 1028 prior to November 1 as was ginned last year at the same date. The figures are: 6,298 in 1928, and 1,*84 in 1922. Since that time ginneries through out the county have been kept busy baling the 1928 cotton and probably the same ratio extends up to the pres ent date. However, much of the cot ton has been picked, and when the final report for the year is made, the increase for 1928 will not be so large as now shown. Eighty-two per cent of the crop was picked in the state by October 26, is the estimate of the Department of Commerce. \ a'mifu <>?*????v ' |Jg j?gj H "Old Farmer" Fond Of Reading Newspapers Jim has just been down ter the road gate ter git the mail oat'en the box and has brung the Herald and I'm the first one of the family ter git 'er hold of k. Our county papers is shore the county's prjfie and when they comes each one of u is glad to git bold of 'em. And if Hertford connty had one or two more papers I would certainly have ter take 'em, for I wouldn't feel right if Old Farm er's name weren't on each one's mail in'list. Now don't anybody think I'm agent fer I'm not and what I'm sayin' is simply by way of givin' my endorse ment to the papers that helpa ter put Hertford county on the map. Jim sorter looks out fer the Raleigh pap ers and the other papers outen the state.' * Do you know what's a fact 'bout papers and magazines in your home? WeU, they have a wonderful Influence, more far reachin' than you or I can ever know. They gives the gala and boys a glimpse of the outside world and they keep in touch with things happenin' every day and maga-< gines like the Ladies Homo Journal and the Woman's Home Companion is of more value ter your home than you can figure. They gives your old woman and your daughters ideas and thoughts that they lust can't git any where else. Why with them papers eomin' in your home every month, your wogjen-folVs gits a peep-in on how the best homes is arranged and how a good lookin* dining room 'pears. Even the advertisements and pictures gives a world of information and teaches 'bout the general order of things in the home life and the home life is the backbone of the nation. That*8 where all our refinement comes or a lot of darn foolishness that we see croppin' out in the children. Some of the best ladies magazines devotes a page ter howster set a breakfast, dinner and supper table and what kind of eats ter put on and too how to serve it after it's cooked. We may not have all them fancy eats and live like I do, at my house?mostly at dinner?on Jigg's favorite dish? corn beef and cabbage?still it's mighty good ter know how one of them up-to-date dining rooms looks. Jim and my grown-up daughters has been ter a banquet in the city and knows how them big stunts is pulled off and how sich like is carried on. I shore would like ter take dinner with Ji?gs when Maggie was off on a visit, fer I know we'd be 'bout like two bulla turned loose in a china shop. Wouldn't we have a time? I'll bet you could hear us eatin' soup and bitin' corn offen the cob wav outen the yard, in the summer time. We wouldn't need no napkin fer the table cloth would be good and handy. (Old woman stop ntidgin' Sally Ann in the side, I reckon 1 know what I'm talkin'-'bout.) Do yon know what's a fact? I'd just like ter have a regular Jiggs Dinner cooked and have a few of my Jiggs friends ter take dinner with me. After the dinner was cooked and everything set on the table, I just want my old woman ter say?'Come in, dinner's ready," and then she and all the women folks in the family ex cuse themselves and go over ter Na bor Saxon's and stay fer 'bout a hour, whjle me and my Jiggs friends enter tained ourselves. Now, many of you fellers that reads this, I'm thinkin' of you and would write you down in my list of Jiggses but I might happen to slip over a name and then I'd be rorfy and so I will just hav* ter let you., imagine that your name heads the list and let?it go at that. Mister Editor, What 'bout you fel lers in 'Hoakie town organizing a Jiggs Club and votin' 01'' Farmer a honerary memb ? I nominate Will Duns tan in Elisabeth City fer mem bership now. Life short and we could have lot's of innocent pleasure and in our little get-tor-gether-meet in's we would cement the hinges of friendship. Think it over right good and hard. Oh, Weill HI have ter quit talkin' 'bout the kitchen fer I just come through mine, (today's Saturday) and I saw things going on in there that made me believe that when tomor row's dinner is served that while it may be a regular Jiggs dinner, still my old woman will have somethin' that she knows Old Farmer's mighty good and fond of on that table. Pleaae don't forgit to send the Of fice Cat over ter Winton next First Monday and let the lolks of Hertford county know how the commissioners vote when the bill is presented ter pay them-out-of-the-county-lawyers - that don't-pay-one-cent-in - the - revenue. Frank Tayloe aint goin' ter let 'em spend the earnings of us folks in no such way without callin' 'em down. If any individual members wants to run all over tar-heeldom after law yers, that's his business, but he has no right ter pledge the Board and Frank's right and I don't 'blievte the other members is goin' to stand fer it So when the vote on the bill comes up you please have that Office Cat of yours take down every name and how he votes. Old Farmer wants to clip that outen the Herald and paste it in his hat fer future reference. OLD "FARMER. November 17, 1923. .
