Group Asks Help of the
Commissioners to Get
Some Relief
G. 0. Chappell, together with sev
eral other residents , of the Center
Hill Section, appeared before the
1 County Commissioners Monday with
a petition signed by a large number
of residents requesting relief on the
Sandy Ridge road leading from Cen
ter Hill to Route 57, which is a pav
ed highway. The road is about eight
miles long.
Mr. Chappell, spokesman for the
group, stated that at times the road
in question is in very bad shape and
that due to its use for transporting
truck crops, many times farmers are
handicapped due to inability to move
trucks on the road.
The Commissioners agreed to re
quest the State Highway and Public
Works Commission to make neces
sary repairs and maintain the road
so that it will not handicap move
ment of crops.

Suggests Building

vide Funds ;
Dr. John W. Warren, county physi- j
cian, in his monthly report to the
County Commissioners Monday, rec- |
ommended consideration of a new .
County Home. Dr. Warren admitted <
that he is puzzled with what to do ,
with some cases brought to his at
tention, but stated that if a more
modern county home nearer Edenton
Were available, it was his opinion
that some cases could be disposed of
by placing these persons in the home.
The present county home, he said,
is too far from Edenton, and besides
is not a desirable place to live. It
was not his idea to build a large and
elaborate structure, but expressed
the opinion that a more modern home
close to Edenton would be more in
viting for indigent persons, most of
j whom do not desire to go to the pres
i ent home.
Dr. Warren expressed the belief
that the present county property
could be sold for enough to erect a
small and creditable county home.
The Commissioners were favorably'
impressed with Dr. Warren's report,
j but no action was taken.

Don’t Neglect Them I
Nature designed the kidneys to do a
marvelous job. Their task is to keep the
flowing blood stream free of an excess ol
toxic impurities. The act of living —life
itself —is constantly producing waste
matter the kidneys must remove from
the blood if good heath is to endure.
When the kidneys fail to function as
Nature intended, there is retention of
waste that may cause body-wide dis
tress. One may suffer nagging backache,
persistent headache, attacks ol dizziness,
getting up nights, swelling, puffiness
under the eyes—feel tired, nervous, all
worn out.
Frequent, scanty ot burning passages
are sometimes further evidence of kid
ney or bladder disturbance.
The recognized and proper treatment
is a diuretic medicine to help the kidneys
get rid of excess poisonous body waste.
Use Doan's Pills. They have had more
than forty years of public approval. Are
endorsed the country over. Insist on
Doan's. Sold at all drug stores.
