Campbell, manager of the circula tion campaign just closed, and to his assistant, Max Campbell. They have kept close check on de tails and have been careful to see that each transaction was fair and square. It has been a pleasure to work with them and we are grateful to them for ": the manner in which they have con ducted the campaign. i WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN The Perquimans Weekly congratp lates the winners in the subsc: campaign which closed on nieht and expresses , its everv one who contribC .i i ever manner to thejCv.-sf J campa. duA Jested seven: i? i.kr.r!U'fmV; Ute&iri by a num , 1 ; t c:lwtanta,itery one of whom some "renraneration for their services, with four being paid cash prizes, and was in ' every sense a success. The primary object of the cam paign from our own standpoint was to introduce The Perquimans Weekly, which because of its tender age was not so well known to our public as we wished' it to become. The expan sion of our subscription list, which far exceeds what we had expected, has more tnan justined our effort. -We now have a circulation which via fcCIAipv OJlJFsllUYCIUOCif MUUt UUC WW "the fact that ourgreatestel forts were ; ritaryiThe' Perquimans "Weekly,' wHi'p carries interesting news of every so tion of this and some, of adjoinirr, counties, i9 now a valuable mediurr. of advertising, particularly for thf home advertiser. . And so, from our own standpoint we consider the campaign a splendic' success. Our only regret is that every otib o the contestants could not receive fir-1 prize. That, of course, was an im possibility. Those who were no? successful in winning a major prizr were gratified to be well paid fo their efforts. We thank the contestants for thp splendid work which t'ney have done in this campaign. They richly de serve their rewards, which it was 3 pleasure for us to pay. We also thank those wh: h.loed and encouraged the workers. We thank every subscriber, and wo prem ise to give you value re reived Because of the success of the cam paign, because we can better serve our advertisers, we shall receive more ; remuneration and we. are enable i tc furnish you a better newspaper, which we expect to do. f " We also express our grateful appre- ciation of the services rendered by the judges, "Mrs; Emmett Elliott, of Ty- ner; Rev.

Wanted: Some one to donate to the Perquimans High School a trophy case m which to display these silvei cups the girls are bringing in. ? "Not a Man In the House" is the title of a play to be given at Chapa noke school on Friday night. Sounds like it might be plenty funny. The "babies" in the show to be put on by Mrs. Koonce next Friday night ought to look cute. Trust the Hertford Rotaerians to do the proper thing. They are going t entertain that winning basketbal team on Tuesday night. Congrats Rotarians. Should the numerous stray cats ii Hertford be allowed to roam at wi. through the streets of the town ? A cat killed in Hertford last weer was affected with rabies. Moreover the cat attacked an unoffending woman. I wonder if that cat had transmit ted the disease to any of the dozen: of stray cats which frequent thr streets of Hertford. It appears to me there is a menace in the situation. Little children are attracted by cats, and we have a , lot of precious littl folks about town. The attack on Mrs Dozier was quite unprovoked. If possible, another Buch happening should be prevented. What can Hertford do for these girls of the Perquimans High School Basketball team who have won s many honors? We ought to show them some appreciation. They say it's team work which it doing the trick, that these girls know what cooperation means. Their trainers, too, should be shown some appreciation. Just glance m the window of An derson's Drug Store "On the Corner" at the display ol around uurxy goia and silver awards these folks have won in the two tournaments.

When he wears a blue suit or some other color his judgments are more likely to be tempered with mercy, and so they watch with dread the appearance of the Judge in gray The Rossers Brinns had six guests at lunch on Saturday, four of whom were named William Henry.
