Oyr Files Now Complete.
Some weeks ago we found that we
were short three issues of The Her
ald for February, 1909, and inserted
a notice in this paper that we would
give a three-months subscription to
The Herald for one good copy of
each issue wanted. As was announc
ed last week two of the missing num
bers had been received already. This
week the third copy was obtained
from Mr. J. H. Lee, of Four Oaks,
R. F. D. No. 1, and his subscription
has been extended three months as
per our offer. Our success in secur
ing these three papers of February,
1909, shows two things: 1st, That it
pays to advertise, and 2nd, That
some 'people appreciate The Herald.
Those having wants to supply or
something to sell might learn a les
son from this. A word to the wise
is sufficient.
An Interesting Game of Ball,
The Methodist Baracas defeated
the Baptist Baracas in an exciting
game of ball last Friday by the score
