When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, the people took branches ot palm trees, and went forth to meet him. and cried, Hosanna; Blessed is the King of Israel that coipeth in the name of the Lord. -.John 12:12, 13. IT IS EASY to sing praises t" God. Init it is not so easy to do his will; it is easy to go with the crowd, but difficult, to go against it. Help IIS. O God, to ho loyal to Thee and our fellow man, and practice eyerv day «Ivat Thou hast taught us in Thv Holy Word. All Must Help Reports have it that the.rat situation in. Edenton is getting nut of control and that, despite individual efforts, mounting damage: is being done by these Cussed pests. Not only are the rats overrunning various establishinents. hut they now, in grea.t num bers, infest open ditches and fields. A counfy-wide :nit control campaign is scheduled to lie held during tile last, week of April under the direction of the county agents, arid Kdepton people are urged to join in the fight, buy the poison prepar ed and put. it.out in order to help reduce the rat population. The success of the campaign, of course, depends upon the number who participate, for any one per son can: place poison on their: premises and probably kill a few rats, but unless the same thing .is done bv neighbors, it only means that other rats will move, in from adjoining places. Town Council men at their meeting Tuesday night agreed to cooperate in that an effort will he made to kill rats in open ditches and other outdoor breeding places, and issuing an appeal to all residents to pur chase the required amount of poison bait and: place it where the rats will most likely eat .it. Rats are a general nuisance and a health menace, and while it is hard-to get rid of them altogether, by cooperating many can be disposed of, so. it is hoped many I'dehtoif people will join, in the cam paign against rats. The poison will cost SLOO and "ill hot affect do .mestic animals, and if placed out according.to dir<’i'.- tions is said to be every:' effective in killing rats. It is worth trying, for. rats not- only destroy property 'out carry disease as well. Be Sure and Register With contests developing >i tile town, election oil Tuesday.

EAST CHURCH STREET "Your John Deere Dealer” EDENTON, H. C. [Heard & Seen By “Buff” ~ JimmyOglesby on April 2nd became the grand pappy of twins and its a result lie “paid up in full’ by handing out a cigar for the grandson and one for the granddaughter. His daughter, Mrs. Arthur [rvin Holleb, (the former Miss Carolyn Oglesby) gave birth to twins in New York City and was able to leave the hospital on Sunday. The daddy of the twins, Dr. Arthur Irvin Holleb, must have put out a lot of smiles after it was all over, hut I’ll bet the two stogies Jimmy passed (Alt (1 can bet only one, for I’ve smoked one) that the doctor was not much happier than Jimmy was to hear the news, for he’s a grandpappy sure ’nuff now. Well, if anybody had any new Easter togs to show (iff oh Sunday, they could hot have wished for a more perfect day to do it. In fact the weather was made to order, so. that, maybe somebody has a pull with the weather man.. As was expected, quite a few people made their annua! visit to the church of their choice and, no doubt, dropped in tile Collection plate a thin dit>le. also an annual contribution to the church. How many people' would like to live in Edenton if every ehtiTch .closed its..diiors ? And how long could any church continue to exist it it had to depend upon the atH'tidailee and i-ciitrihntlons of some of the peo pl(u liviim hViv ? These (juustioMs ure not so \ery hard to answer. If what I hear Is collect, I’ve learned a new meth od, to borfoVvc Money at the Rank of Edenton. As I get it. Kfnest Kijiayes asked Henry Gardner for a loan in order to buy a boat. "UH have to think over it," was Henry’s reply. But a few days later Henry accompanied Ernest iil the latter’s boat on a fish ing trip up the i reek. Henry was standing up when Ernest, started the mot.br and as the boat jerked for ward. Henry fell overboard. While Henry was scrambling tit the water Ernest veiled. “Now will you loan me the money to, buy a new boat?” I'm told Henry yelled back. ’•Hell. yes. get me out of here arid I’ll loan you all the money you want..” ■ ' ;. .. ) -'-r- ' Recently, the Tire siren- on the water tank was pjaccd on top of the, armory and the smaller one which .was oh the armory was stuck up in front of my home. I’m a poor tiremaiV. for I haven t heard the' thing shriek yets However, I ve .almost, starved to• death:a few times, for,now I can’t hear the siren when it sounds for tj .o’clock and as a result have been working o', rtinie-—-and 1 don’t get paid extra for it. Anyway, the change...was made: so that more of the volunteer firemen, most of whom live north of i’hureh Street, will hear the alarm, arid they’re the boys who should hear it. With the -basehall .. season.’ opening this week in . the major hCgties;. i : t should, not be long until the baseball bug hcins to crawl in Edenton. I under stand coriSid progress is being made on the diamond at Oho Wan H igh School and the diamond on Hicks Field is in good shape. All we need now is ..baseball teams'-to use, the parks. Here’s one who rem<>iti.hi rs when Edenton had crackerjack teams and a- so fry ha! i park, but now we have a splendid ball park,, hut not much prospect: of a good baseball team. Speaking..about, the weather, man, lie threw a mon key wrench, ib the proposed annual flower siimv spon sored by the Edentoti Woman's Club, The show has been cancelled because Jack, Frost killed and damag ed.: many "f the flowers and Edenton and surround | ing territory iisua 1 ? y has a lot of. beautiful flowers. However, Edenton. wasn’t: the: only victim, for last week On a trip to Forest, City i noticed: many flow ers and . A crgrCi n ruined..-- Then, too, the peach crop is reported almost a total loss arid already I've heard about runs be: g made tin’canned peaches in antici pation of a IrooM: in price due to a short crop. Gosh, there’s always -something to worry about. - —e—M'———— - It now .looks as though, there’ll be some contests in the tow n, eloi-tiori Tuesday, May. 3, While riot all in cumbents of the Beard of 'Public Works have filed, twptne\v aspirants have thrown their hats in the ring, these being Jimmie Rick's and Horace White as well as W. ,1.
