AHQSKIE POSTOFFICE
ACCOUNTING OFFICE
. The local postoffice has been de
signated Central Accounting Office
of Hertford County, In accordance
with a recent ruling of Postmaster
General Burleson. Under the pro
visions of this latest inovation post
master Sumner of the Ahoskie of
fice will serve as accountant for the
other offices in the County. This
means that all other offices of the
County will be under supervision of
this office as regards responsibility
of accounts. This office is irf turn
responsible for the accounts of other
offices, direct to the Department at
Washington. ?
The Ahoskie postoffice will fur
nish bLamps, stamped stationery,
and other supplies to the other of
fices in theCourty. In pther words
this will be Distributing as well as
Accounting office for Hertford
County.
One effect of this order will be
an added duty for the Ahoskie post
master, at the same time without '
receiving any extra compensation.
The order is general and applies to
all counties in the Nation alike. i
In the larger counties two or more
offices are made to act as Central :
Accounting Office instead of only '
one as in this County. The ap
pointment of postmasters is not af- i
fected by this ruling. Appoin tment I
of postmasters will be governed by 1
another recent rulin of "Boss" Bur- 1
leson. 1
The following offices are now ac
countable to the Ahoskie postoffice:
Winton, Murfreesboro, Harrellsville, .
Como, Cofield, Tunis, and Earleys. I
REWARDS PAID FOR CAPTURE |
OF SLACKERS
The following telegram of in- '
atructions has been sent to the Di?
trict Exemption Boards, governing
the capture of those who have fail- '
ed to appear before the local exemp
tion boards: *
"Number 8216. A reward of 1
fifty dollars is payable for the de- '
livery at the nearest army eamD or '
post of a deserter. This reward is '
in full satisfaction of all expenses 1
incurred in said delivery. A per
son who fails to report to his Local I
Board for military service at the i
ti*ne specified in his order to report
is a deserter. A person who fails |
to report for military service to the ]
Adjutant General of the State by j
the date specified in the order of
the Adjutant General to said per- ,
son is a deserter. It is highly Je- .
sirable from every standpoint that
an effort now be made to "round up .
all persons who are delinquent in
reporting for military service. It
is thought, that if the reward is
given the widest publicity, we shall '
have a great force of police officers '
and even of individuals interested
in bringing such delinquents under 1
military control. If, after such '
persons have been brought to a mil- 1
itary authority, it appears to the 1
military authority that their delin
quency is not willful, they will be
forwarded to a mobilization camp, '
and their Local Board will be giv
en credit. If it appears that the |
delinquency was willful., they will i
be prosecuted be(pre court martial ;
as deserters. In either case the re
ward is payable.

WINTON WAVELETTS
The Chautauqua has come and
rone. Every attraction wan tho
roughly enjoyed. Large crowds
attended each performance. Spe
cial mention should be made of the
helpful and uplifting: addresses of
Mrs. Helen Paulson and Dr. Alfred
Hutbchins, the platform manager.
If we would only abide by what
tolJ us we would make better citi
zens and have a much better town
or community. The Chautauqua
was also' a financial success. After
pay ing all expenses thirty dollars
was in the Treasury. The Chau
tauqua will come to Winton again
next October.
The following paragraph copied
from a letter written bv a soldier
boy who is "'Somewhere in France."
shows tVie true spirit of our boys
who are over there: "Life over
here sometimes grows monotonous:
drilling eight houis a day, especial
ly, when you have to carry the O.
D. (olive drab) baby on your back,
which consists of a blanket, poncho,
shelter-hay, and other things too
numerous to mention. I am enjoy
ing it, though. After all, we hav
n't much room to complain, when
we think what are over here
for, and what the French have suf
fered for the last three years. A
man has only one time to die and,
if he must die, it is as easy to die
here as anywhere else, Don't you
think that I am intending to- die
?ver here: that hasn't entered my
mind. I am coming back."
At the regular communication of ^
the Winton Lodge of the A. F. & <

IX MEMORY OF BRO.
C. L MCGLAUGHAN
A consistent member of Holly
Springs Baptist Church; son of W.
0, McGlauhan and Olivia McGlau
han; was born August 21, 1895.
At an early aire he professed faith
in Christ and connected himself
with Holly Springs Church, and he
had consecrated his young _ life for
the good of his church and for the
upbuilding of God's kingdom. Even
in boyhood he was made clerk of
his church which office he held,un
til God sent his Death Angel to take
him home.
Bro. McGlaughan leaves a father,
and several brothers and sistera, all
of whom are prominent in society
and church work, to moan their
loas.
In the early part of this year
Brother McGlauhan located in Nor
folk, Va., and made many friends
imong his associates. Early in Au
gust of this year he was strickened
with typhoid fever. All was done
that could be done by physicians
ind friends in an effort to save .this
iroung and useful life, but God in
lis infinite wisdom saw fit to take
lim to himself, and on the 22nd.
iay of August he breathed his last
farewell to the world.
Blessed are the dead in the
Lord. Yea saith the spirit; they
ihall rest from their labors and
Jieir works do follow them. There
s rest beyond the grave. If our
sarthly house of this tabernacle
vere dissolved we have a building
>f God, an house not made with
lands, eternal in the Heavens."
Why do we moan departed friends
>r shake when death alarms? 'Tis
>ut the vo;ce that Jesus sends to
alLthem to his' arms,
Now, therefore, be it resolved:
1. That we tender our deepest
ove and sympathy to the bereaved
'amily and his beloved church,
vhich he delighted so greatly in its
lervice;
2. That a copy of these resolu
ions be sent to the Hertford Coun
y Herald for publication, and a
:opy be sent to the bereaved fami-.
y, and also a copy be spread upon
tur church record as a memorial to
he deceased brother.

MRS. PHILIPS TAKES I
IRON IF BLOOD IS BAD
Suffered Two Years With Pellefra
Couldn.t Walk About the House
Iron Built Her up
TELLS WHAT KIND
OF IRON TO TAKE
Everyone's energy, vitality and
general good health depend" so
much upon the condition of their
blood, iind the normal functioning
of the vital organs of the atom
ic!). kidneys, liver and bowels the
?lighent irregularity should be
corrected immediately.
Anyone troubled with their
blood, for instance, . is sure to
sooner or later experienoe uric
acid pains, weak, lame back, lost
strength; nervousness; headache!
dizzy spells, or some other kindred
syiAptoos, and iron has become so
wall known as tbe one best reme
dy everybody should use it. Tha
question is, in what form! Iron
is put up by tha chemist in pills,
liquid solutions, and mixed with
all kinds of elements, including in
some case* altogether too much
alcohol for tbe good of tbe system.
The cheapest, strongest, moat
efficient remedy is plain, natural
iron, highly concentrated, and bot
tled just as nature intended it to
be taken J, It is called Acid Irofe
Mineral, la aold by druggists in fif
ty-cent and dollar bottles. It goes
from two to six times as far. It
will help the digeaton, stomach,
kidnaay and blood. If tbe bowels
art inactive a good liver pill like
th* A-l-M Pill at SCc, for a gene
rous iix? box ia recommended.
Peopll with normal bowels aboald
a,i _ ^ . la.. "
not use iron formed ih combina
/tion with Ihxaiivea, A1 toother
too many remedies contain purga
tives.
To indicate bow quickly Acid
Iron Mineral will cleanse the blood
and tone up tbe general system
and renew tbe wasted energy tbe
statement, of Mr>. N. ?. Philips
of Kershaw; 8. C. ia quoted be
low: i
'"I began to be troubled with
my bowels, stomach and blood a
little over two years ago. R fi
nally turned into pellagra add at
the end of that two yean suffering
I couldn't even walk about the
house. Mr*. Ella Hunter sug
gested I take Acid Iron Mineral
and after taking it aix week* and
using but four small bottle*, I am
up and about my work and gain
ing in strength every day. It baa
done me more good than any
thing I have ever tried and am
alad indeed to recommend it to
anyone who needs a good tooie or
