Greatest Event ot the College Year to Be Given Daring the CoanMnccment One of the biggest things that ia before us at the State Normal and Industrial College of North Carolina, in the year 1916. ia the presentation of our May Da> Fete at commencement. This Pageant will take place on the twentieth of May, on which day we will roll back the centuries and lire again in the good old days of "merrie England. Led by Sir Walter Raleigh. there will pass before "Good Queen Bess" and her assembled, a s|>ectacular array of character come together from history and fable. There will be Robin Hood and his band. King Arthur and his knights, the spirits of the seatons with their attend ants, shepherds shepherdesses, players, milkmaids, chimney sweeps, May uole dancers, and peasants. Even Mother Goose and the Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe will be present. The line of march will |?ass to Curry Court where the Queen of the Mav is to be orowned. During the afternoon, plivs will be given at approoiate spots oa our beautiful campus, arranged so that each visitor may have the opportunity of seeing each one. At six o,clock, the whole company will reassemble on the court for the rustic dances, and just at the end of the gsla day, with faces turned toward the West, they will sing the old. old English evening hymn, sung for the first time in America at our pageant four years ego. v A pageant similar totlnawas presented by our College in 1912 and witnessed by about three thousand spectators. This year we expect at least ten thousand. On the day following that pageant, the newspapers voiced the senti ment <ff all who saw it "by railing the event a "glorious success", "without a flaw" and "an enter tainment which for beauty and immenaity has never been equalled in the Southern States". This pageant of four years ago was without question a decided success; and we are now given a chance to display our College spirit by mak ing this an even greater success. Everg student in our College, in Icuding the students from our Training School will take part in some feature of the day's pro gramme. It is to be a great day for all: and I want to urge every body who possibly can to make it convenient to be in Greensboro on that particular day. Take advan tage of this opportunity while you can; for you may never again have the chance to witr.esa such an intellectual, elevating, and enter taining performance , as this will be. * Yon people of Hertford County, and whom else it may concern, re member that you have three girls at this College; fortunately tl.ey are from Ahoskie, the "Metro polis." Also there are girls here from Bertie and Northampton Counties. Can you afford to miss such a chancel Of course you can't; and we are expecting to see on that day crowds of folks from "home." Don't disappoint us. A Normalite. Renew your Subscription to The Hertford County Herald. Administrator*} Notice. Hliving qualified as adminiatra tors of the estate of J. T.

Declara , tion on Thia Matter. The A sell vi lie Board of Trade again strongly urges the working of all state convicts on the public roads of the state, except such number as may be requited for the proper maintenance of the State Prison at Kaleigb, and for the farms, an equal division of the Soviets to be made between the isstal Region, aud Central and Piedmont Regions, and the West ern or Mountainous Region of the state, taking into consideration, of course, the greater difficulty of building roads in the mountains t^ian in the level country. The people are also urged to call on the candidates for the legisla ture and senate to declare them selves on this important subject before the election in November, and demand that such legisla tion be bo enacted. Georgia has been building roads with her state convicts for nearly three years, and the talk of mot orists coming thru Georgia to. isheville indicates the enormous value of this policy of roadbuiling. Motorists state that they can drive from forty to sixty miles thru Georgiu without changing the gears on their machines. Everyone admits that good roads attracts uiuch capital. Virginia is now adopting the system of working state convicts on their public roads. North Car olina should not be behind in this important movement. ??? ?' ? ? ? c^-l CHEERFULNESS ' Learn to laugh. A good laugh is better than medicine. Learn bow to tell a atorv. A well told gtory ig as welcome aa a sunbeam in a sick room. Learn to keep your troubles tb yourself. The world is too buiey to care for your ills and sorrows. Learn to stop croaking. If you caunot see any good in the world, keek the bad to yourself. Learn to hide your pains and aches under pleasant smiles. No one cares to hear whether you have the earache, headache or rheuma tism. ^ Ddn'tcry. Tears do well enough in novels, but are out of pluce in real life. Learn to paeet your friends with a smile. A good humored man or woman is always welcome, but the dyspeptic hypo chondriac is not wanted, and is a nuisance as well. Above all, give pleasure. Lose no chance of giving pleasure. You will pass through this world but once, anv good thing, there fore,{that you can do, or any kind ness that you can show to any hum^n being; you had better do it now; do not defer or neglect it, for you will not pass this way again.?Selected. * Notice to (kmocratic Voters.

Farmers haul ing fertilizers seems to be most the.v can do, the cold winds of March noshing one think the cold, chilly winds of December have just begun. On March 17. Mr. William Cale died vary suildaaily, lie arose very early, went$>ut to feed his horses, and when returning seemed to gim away in his left side. After gjming liiin to bed, he remarked that he had had a slight stroke of paralysis. Dr. L. A. Nowel was summoned, und made every effort to revive him. but^he was unconscious when thq doctors arrived, and died in thirty minutes from Apoplexy. Mr. Cale was a good nurse in sickness, and was always ready and willing to aid bis friends. Two weeks ago little Sophia Sewell was bitten by her father's dog. Fearing that Jl>e dog was mad; the dog's bead was sent to Raleigh to be examined, and it was found to contain hydrenhobic germs. Dr. J. A.

On March 2nd, Mrs, Willie Rfeale died after an illness of two months, having lived to a ripe old age. Her last days were spent In the home of Mr. and Mrs. Perry Peele, who, with the assistance of neighbors, did all they could to re store her to health.
