COMMONITY ? | 1 l' cHmJudand Sum , on Vflain Sttedt I We hear much about a dog's de- f votion to his master, but here's at story of a man's devotion to his dog. | Chief Marion E. Meades' handsome,] police dog, was shot recently, there 11 appeared to be only the slimmest 11 chance that the dog would live.,< But his master was unwilling to letj the dog die without doing everything i for him that could be done. So Colonel was taken to Dr. Bax ter's canine hostital in Norfolk, where he was under treatment for 14 days. The dog was suffering from blood poison, distemper and heart worms, and for several days he was unconscious. It hardly seemed possible that he would sur vive. but he did. Last week Meades went to Norfolk and brought Col onel home with him. Colonel was a sorry-looking ca nine when he was brought home from the hospital. But his master began feeding him two pounds of1 hamburger a day, and other things! that the dog liked, Including ice I cream, and now Colonel is begin-1 ning to lock like his former self. I He soon will be as spry as ever, but the chances are that he will not try to kill any chickens again soon. M. G. Thornton, proprietor of Sea Breeze Inn, located on the turn where the Kitty Hawk-Nags Head highway swings parallel to the ocean after leaving Wright Memorial Bridge, distributes business cards which states, among other things, that he furnishes "Good Eats, Good Gas, and Love Nests for Lovers." Asked about t'he "love nests", he pointed to three littl e rooms or cabins in the rear of his station, with a little plot of grass and a few benches in front of them. "What's the idea of advertising them as love nests?" he was asked. I "Well," he replied, "that's what people want down here, and that's the only reason folks rent 'em." Judging from the rumors about the Elizabeth Hotel, the Carolina Hotel and the City Cafe, Elizabeth City would do well to do a little cleaning up at home before seeking to clean up "Red's Place" across the river. Seen in the earing street show window of the Anderson Radio & Electric Company last week: A phoLograph of the Dionne quintup lets, and directly beneath it an ad vertising card reading "Many sizes md models to choose from." A well-known young matron who lives on Main Street confided to a friend that it is her ambition "to oe glamorous without being notori ous." On occasions, she darn near suc ceeds in being the latter. Charlotte McMullan is making excellent progress in her hair bleaching experiment. Starting out with hair that was almost brown, she now has blonde hair and has high hopes of being a platinum blonde by the end of the summer. With platinum hair and a deep sun tan, she would succeed admir ably in her painstaking effort to be distinctive in appearance. They tell mo that a well-to-do young woman of this city invited a group of friends to spend the week end at her Nags Head cottage and instructed them to come down on Saturday night after supper, to bring their own breakfast and to depart on Sunday evening before meal time. She would furnish Sunday lunch, or dinner, she said- Several of the in vited guests, amazed at the young woman's brashness and stinginess, suddenly found that they had other plans for the week end. To the publicity agent of the Vir ginia Ferry Corporation, a large orchid for one of the smartest ad-' vertising ideas I have run across in ; some time. This clever fellow places his ad-' vertising folders in the pay toilets in hotels. It's odd that no one had thought of this before. After all, johnnies are widely known as favor ite reading spots, and what else can one do while sitting there? A normal person, upon seating himself or herself in such a place, immedi ately looks around for a newspaper, magazine, or something else in the way of reading matter. It really doesn't matter what they are reading, so long as they have something to look at. They will read an advertisement almost quickly as a page of comics. Speaking for my self, I know I have read more ad vertisements on such occasions than at any other times. So an advertising folder, placed in a public johnny, is almost certain to be read. I know the chances that i: will be picked up and read in such a place are far greater than when the folder is stuck in a rack in the hotel lobby. The fellow who hit upon this idea is undoubtedly very human. Horse* in Early Day* Horses have never been more valuable than during the early days of the Spanish conquest In America. When the estate of a dead conquistador was adminis tered, his steed often brought $3, 000 to $6,000. Vet within half a century, the price had dropped to $2 a head. Progress of Cora Cora has powers of adapta bility. When ta white man entered . tlit Xorth American plaint he found * the Indiana (trowing cojft' from * Mexico to Jlnmtoba.
