HONOR THE VETERANS!
Ahoskie bedeck* itself in the red.
white and blue, symbolizing tbe
united spirit of all section* of the
one time bleeding America. To
day's spirit is one of social better
ment.
Ahoskie is today bedecked in the
red, white and blue, symbolizing
the spirit of the' United States- a
spirit of unity as told in tbe name.
But there was once a time when
they were not united states. It was
during the '60's. For almost foui
years out forefathers?yours and
mine-plodded the battlefield and
wore out their lives for what has
since proven to be a worthless
cause, but at that time tlioughC to
be a worthy one. Today the stars
and stripes flutter about our town.
But there was a time when the flag
of the Confederacy-Father Ryan's
Conquered Runner?bourne by
some of our ancestors, arrayed it
self before the true American flag
the Stars and Stripes?and flutter
ed over the battlefield on which
the men of the Grey fought and
gave up their lives in countless
numbers.
And yet, tbey are not all gone
to their graves. Today Hertford
County's remnant of the "Men
Who Wore the Grey" are meeting
again in their peaceful mission.
Today they love and obey peaceful
America, and look with horror
upon the oattlefields of Europe
and the warring nations. They
meet on a social mission?com
muning together as brothers and
companions. And, with these
facts before us, who is there
among us?we who help to enter
tain these men?who would dis
courage such a mission?a mission
of peace and social intercourse if
The wnv in which the people
of our County have left their
homes ind their places of business
to come to Ahoskie answers the
questionasked in above paragraph.
Everything has been done to make
it a day ot genuine pleasure and a
joyful re-union of the gray heads,
who saw actual aervice in the War
of the States. Ahoskie is awake
to the importance of the day at
hand. She has brushed aside cob
wel>s, and draped its buildings,
made white its trees, repaired its
streets, and with the aid and as
sistance of others in the County
has provided a wholesome and
bounteous dinner and a beauti
ful parade. Ahoskie has been
given to the Veterans of the '60's
and their vssiling friends for the
day.
MUCH TOBACCO SOLD.
Darlington, Aug. 4.?Nearly
100,000 pounds of tobacco was sold
bere again today, ape prices are
still higher than they have ever
been on t|ie local market. About
i 20 per cent, of tales this morning
brought from 25 to 30 cents a
pound, and some of it brought as
high aa CO cents a pound. One
farmer, Raieigh Odom, sold liis
entire barn of first primings at
27 1-2 cents in the lot being 600 or
' 7<J0 pounds. The farmers are all
delighted with the price tobacco is
1 bringing in Darlington.
it is thought that if the present
' prices hold up during the to
> bacco season they will make up
for the shortage in the crop occa
? sioned by the recent storm.?
