A BRAND NEW NEWSPAPER , FOR PERQUIMANS COUNTY Today we present the people of Perquimans County "The Perquimans Weekly." In making our bow today, although a new newspaper from scratch, we do not feel tfiat we shall be received a.a stranpers-necause the staff of the new newspaper is composed of old and familiar friends. In fact, the new newspaper in mak ing its appearance is accepting the Invitation of a large proportion of our citizenry, and we therefore feel as sured of a welcome from those. To others to whom we come a3 some thing of a surprise, perhaps we shall not be unwelcome. We bespeak at least your tolerance until we shall have proved that we merit more. The editor of the new newspaper who has for many years done news paper work among you, has long wished for an opportunity to give to Perquimans the kind of weekly news paper which we believe our people desire. The opportunity is here. It is the aim of the Perquimans Weekly to be a real community news paper. We shall not take on city airs. We do not aspire to be other than a country newspaper. But we tfjc expect to be a good country news paper, filled with news which is in teresting to our people. Our columns will carry stories of home folks and will discuss questions of interest to Perquimans County. To this end, we ask the cooperation of our people. fewTIL.-be necessary to have this cooperation if we are to make a success. We want a good Perquimans County newspaper. You want a good Perquimans County newspaper. Together we shall make one. THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY WANTS NEWS The Perquimans Weekly wants news. Send in the little items of in terest which come to your attention. We want our readers to feel that this is their own home newspaper, and we expect to carry the new3 which is in teresting to them. You may write or telephone, day or night If you write be sure to sign your name. Your name will not be ' published but we must have it be fore the news is published. Only three questions will be asked: "la it true? Is it interesting? Is it decent?" . These three questions are an index of the kind of newspaper we hope to give you. Belvidere P. T. A.
