With this isnie The Times gives
a series tf advertisements whose
sole purpose is to encourage sup
port oi me church.
These ads are made possible by
uupiin county business men who
have the church and its work at
heart. They are spending their
money, not to advertise their wares,
but to encourage all our readers
to give more time, thought and ef
fort to church work. No matter
what your denomination or even if
you are a non-church member, your
time each week will be well spent
in reading these ads. The subject
of our first ad is "Portrait Of A
Soul". It is a story within itself.
READ IT ! !
A subscriber came into the office
this week wanting an. extra copy
of last week's paper, stating:'
y "There ? was "so much news in
last week's paper I want to send a
copy to a friend.
Recently one ot our subscribers
came in and complained that too
many of his .neighbors borrowed
his, paper. You know," he said,
"thirteen families read my Duplin
Times every' week." Knowing the
community from which he came it
is safe to estimate that more than
50 people read that issue of the
Times weekly. Taint fair. At $3.00
per year it cuts us out of $39.00
annually per family.
These are dog days now and you
boys better have care, swimmirg
so much in the creeks; or that's
what my mother used to tell ne
when 1 was a kid.
As a gardner I gave up and qi.it
long ago. Now ! think I'm goint
to do the same on an orchard. 1

trees. I sprayed them a number of
times this year and all the fruit
