Selling Fine Tomatoes. The finest Johnston County grown tomatoes we have seen on the Smith field market this season were sold here last Saturday by Miss Roberta Powell, of the Sanders Chnpel ranch. Miss Powell is an expert in growing fine tomatoes as many will testify who have attended the Selma Melon, Tomato and Better Baby Fair for the past two summers. She knows how to grow them of the finest kind and al ways finds a ready market for them. Advertising In The Herald Pays. Some weeks ago The Austin-Ste phenson Company of this place, put a little "want ad" in The Herald, asking for a slightly used Ford car. A subscriber living in Richmond, Va., saw the ad and having a car of the kind wanted took the matter up with the Smithfield firm and consummated a trade at once. The Smithfield Her ald, in this instance, performed a two fold mission ? it brought together the man who wanted something and the man who had the thing wanted. Both were pleased because of the work The Herald did for them. It can do the same for others. Improvements on Second Street. Much improvement has been made on Second street within the past few weeks. Judge F. H. Brooks has pur chased all the property between Mrs. S. T. Coates' residence and the Pres byterian church. He has had some of the buildings recovered and other wise improved. He has had the old storehouse near the Grice House moved back from the street and ad ded a porch to the front. Judge Brooks sometime ago pur chased the old Masonic Lodge and moved the building to the vacant lot next to the Presbyterian church. He has had this building remodeled and has opened up his law offices in it. On the second floor he is planning to fit up a hall for the use of the Wom an's Club and the Town Library. The hall will be conveniently arranged and will make a nice lecture hall for small assemblages. Four More Young Men Enlist. Messrs. Robert A. Wcllons, Alger Byrd, Percy Youngblood, and Roy Bailey have joined Ambulance Corps, No. 43, which has been organized at Raleigh. These young men will soon be called to go in training at Allen town, Pa. From there they will at an early day be sent to France where they will render service for Uncle Sam's army. The enlisting of these young men brings Smithfield's vol unteers for the past few weeks to nine. There are nine Smithfield boys in the Second Regiment at Goldsbcro, and some others arc in the regular army. Smithfield young men are not !at .ing in patriotism. CONFERENCE AT ELIZABETH.
