Attention, Herald Subscribers
This is notice that all subscriptions to The
Herald which have expired will be cut from
our lists at once. Our huge circulation cam
paign, with two free 1937 cars and cash prizes,
starts Monday, Sept. 28th. Subscribe from
your favorite worker at once so as not to miss
a single issue of The Herald. There will be no
more street sales of The Roanoke Rapids Her
ald during the campaign. It is cheaper to sub
scribe by the year. It is handier to have your
paper delivered to your home or P. O. box
every week.
Over ten years ago, Wade Marks of this city
lost an expensive gold watch. Yesterday a man
came up to him and handed Mr. Marks the watch,
told hinyt had been found by a creek near Weldon.
His name engraved in the back of the watch was
the means of recovery. It was in good condition.
It looks like prosperity has again struck
North Carolina colleges according to Miss Joseph
ine Hege, teacher at UNC Womans College. Writ
ing her father here, Miss Hege says they have an
overflowing registration, that every room in every
dormitory is filled and it has even been necessary
to fit up kitchenettes as bedrooms for young ladies
anxious to attend college. She also reports that
Misses Winnifred Shell and Evelyn Johnson of this
city are getting down to business.
Right remarkable were the facts surrounding
the burial of Mrs. F, C. Hege in Moravian Grave
yard at Winston-Salem last week. In 1883, fifty
three years ago, Mr. Hege went to work in the
Arista Mills at Winston-Salem as a filling carrier
He was 13 years old. Ed Powers was a boy in the
carding room. R. G. Mosely was a boy in the spin
ning room. Sam Morton was a folder 4n the weave
room. C. E. Carter was elevator boy. When Mr.
Hege came to Roanoke Rapids in 1911, he was boss
weaver at Arista. Ed Powers had been made boss
carder, R. G. Mosely was boss spinner, C. E. Carter
was superintendent,/^. F. Morton had left the mill
and was pastor of / the Salem Baptist Church.

WHAT WILL THEY BE NEXT YEAR?
A
"Swing Man"
:
Pictured above is Paul Jones who I
will bring his ten piece orchestra
here Friday night, Sept. 25th, for
a dance in the downtown hall.
Jones and his band are very popu
lar throughout Carolina and Vir
ginia and features the popular
swing music that has hit America.
The band offers two vocalists,
Rhythm trio, modern amplifiers,
complete library and a mixture of
supreme dance music. The dance
will get under way at ten o’clock
and last till two.
We don’t know what they will be next year,
these 1937 models, but The Herald has ordered
two of them, a 1937 Pontiac and a 1937 Chevrolet.
They will be given as the grand prizes in the Circu
lation Campaign which starts next Monday and
lasts for seven weeks. On the night of November
14th, two mighty proud folks will be sole posses
sors of these latest models. Even the local dealers
do not know what the new cars will look like. We
were unable to get pictures of them because there
are no pictures yet. They are being made in the
factories today and nobody will know what they
look like until some time next month. But rest as
t
sured of this,, the first two 1937 cars sold in Roa
noke Rapids will be delivered to The Roanoke Rap
ids Herald. How to win one of them? Turn inside
and read the double page-ad and the news story
about the campaign. Make up your mind you are
going to win one. Get in touch with the Campaign
Manager at once and sell subscriptions to The Her
ald. Hundreds of subscriptions are expiring now.
They are prospects, because no more street sales
after this week. Hundreds of families, who have
never subscribed, want and need The Herald with
