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.
