Ttt.fUttT0EIS IV " f I Tradition states that after a long and tedious voyage the Mayflower dropped anchor in Plymouth bay. A few days later the boat was lowered and the Pil grims were carried to the shore. In the first boat was bright-eyed, light-hearted Mary Chilton, who in spite of the depri vations and inconveniences of the voyage had remained hopeful, bright and joyous. One thing worthy of notice is that eager ness to be first on the American strand jrompted her, like a young heroine, to eap from the boat and wade ashore. The "MatV Chllt6n"in steriinsr silver is suggestive of the simple grace and tt&aity ef Colonial times and it is fitting that it shoulcLbear the name of the maid en to whom tradition lias romantically giveit the honor of being the first white woman to land on New England sotir MARY CHILTON.

WALTER COHOON GETS GOOD JOB Named As Attorney For The Re organized State Highway ' Commission. '. Far And Near In One How far can you see with your reading glasses ? How near can you see with your distance glasses? Kryptoks the invisible bifocais make you see, at a glance, both near and far wjth one pair. And no 'one detects their double use because the two lenses are fused invisibly into one. Let us tell you more about Kryptoks. n,$GALESKiBfte,c' 209 GRANBY STREET (Opposite Monticello Hotel) Kodak Headquarters Odor, Gone 99 You don't find any objectionable odor in the Gas now, do you? But you did about two months ago; and you told us about it. That was proper. The condition then was simply unavoidable, being due to an unexpected change in the character of the oil we re ceived. However, about six weeks ago we succeeded in overcoming the trouble and now you can burn gas without the slightest trace of odor. . This announcement is probably unnecessary, as doubt lessly you are already .aware of the improved condition. But we want to take this opportunity to inform you. that your Gas Service is our greatest concern, and we are con tinually making efforts to better it. Southern G pproifni t "They Say That Get Cea Do It Defter" Members of the American Gas Association. Co. The State., Highway - Commis sion, meeting in Raleigh this week , for the first time since six new members had. assumed the oath of office",1 elected Walter L Cohoon, of Elizabeth City, attor ney to the Commission. Mr. Co hoon was iri Rkleigh when the Commission met and ready to enter upon the duties of his of fice. ' : '. The appointment of Mr. Cohoon is regarded as something more than a good piece of polities on the part of Governor Morrisdn. Under the act creating the state highway commission the state is divided into nine road districts and the biggest of these is the first district. The first district is so everlastingly big that these six northeastern counties separat ed from the rest of the- state by the Albemarle Sound are almost lost' in -it. It is generally conceded that the. most important piece of road work before the Commission is the development of a road that will connect these counties with the state highway system and restore them to the state of North Carolina since we are now geographically but a Virginia peninsula. But when it came to, the appointment of a Commissioner from this district, Governor Morrison picked a man at the ther end of the district. Governor Morrison wanted, W. A. Hart of Tar boro on the ' Commission because he has every confidence in Mr. Hart's sound business acumen and fundamental hon esty. He thought Hart was an ideal type for the Commission. But the ap pointment of Mr. Hart lefj these north eastern counties in an uncertain frame of mind; these counties don't know W. A. Hart and there is a fear that Mr. Hart doesn't know any too much about the transportation needs of these coun ties. But Governor Morrison fixed it; there was another vacancyr to fill ; the Commission had to have : an attorney ; Governor; Morrison reached" across the Albemarle ' Sound and tendered the. of; fice i:o Walter Lu Cohoon of Elizabeth City. , : ' - ; ' And so Elizabeth City- and these 'far eastern' counties find themselves to-day with 'a sympathetic " friend " ah'd ?a " pow erjul advocate most 'closely identified with1 the State, Highway Commission.' Elizabeth City and Northeastern' North Carolina' are congratulating- "Walter Co hoon and' themselves. If Some 'one dis criminated : against 'this 'district in the' first instance " by' making it tlte fargest in; the. state, Governor MorVison las done bis best to square matters by rec- ognizmg both sides of the district on the State Highway Commission. WISE MEN AND WOMEN. When a man or woman acquires prop erty in a community, or town, then he or she naturally stakes more interest in the welfare of the community. Oh, you say to yourself, I don't care about the house rent, I make a good salary; the house rent doesn't amount to anything. Well, if you figure it that way that's alright, you have a right to your own opinion; BUT do you ever 6top to think about old age, and you and your-wife some day too will be old, and possibly unable to earn the salary you are earn ing now. Have you ever stopped to think who the best citizens are in a community? Aren't they the people who own property, generally speaking. These are facts you can't get around. Then when you sit down tonight to chat with the madam, make up your mind that you too will purchase a home or lot on which to build a home. When you do make up your mind to own a home, then you will feel too thal you are a better citizen, and will take an interest in your community. You who read this article know people that have rented homes, or farms, for sev eral years, and are now no better off than they were when they started in life. My business is (REAL ESTATE) selling farm lands, and CITY property I have right now several desirable building lots for sale on the following streets: Main, Church, Selden, River side Drive, Euclid Heights, Cedar, and Cherry Streets, also several desirable homes in different parts of the city. If you haven't the money to pay cash, come to see me just the same. Probably I can arrange the terms on the very piece of property you have been wanting. HARRY M. SEELEY, 318 Hinfon Bldg., Phone 371-J NOTE: If you have a farm that you would like to trade for town property, come to see me. I might be in a posi tion to- negotiate a trade for you. advt.-p.Apr.8-lt A CARD OF THANKS.

Upon information which it believed ab solutely reliable this newspaper stated last week that the little Puckett girl involved in the Winder case was discov ered in the office occupied by E. E.
