MEMORIAL SUGGESTION FOR HERTFORD BOYS j Winton, N. C., Jan. 18, 1919. Editor Hertford Herald, Ahoalcia, N. C. Dear Mr. Parker: There stands on the court house square of our county, a monument to our Confederate dead. Very cor rect, very suitable, their deeds were heroic, and their memory'dear. Is the time not ripe for us to be gin to think about a monument to our heroic dead of the World Wide War! Hertford sons have been in the fight, Hertford sons haye been "Over the Top," Hertford sons have been guests of No Man's Land. Their memory is just as dear to us as the memory of those of earlier days. Should not a monument go up to their memory? Can you not ap point yourself a committee of one to receive funds for same, and pub lish in the columns of our taluable county paper the "Herald," each week the amount oWitributed, and the name of the contributor as a U. D. C. and a D. A. R. I would .like, to see one erected. ' Wishing you success, I am. Vary truly yours, Mra. ROSWELL C. BRIDGES. DEARTH OF HOMES II THIS CITY CAUSE Of GREAT INCOIHEHEIICE Two or More Families Forced to Occupy The Same House; Real Estate Out of Sight. ' i LACK OF HOUSES RETARDS THE GROWTH OF CITY ft. Many Would Purchase Homes But They Are Not Here; Business Homes Scarce. ? s Moving time has come around again. In fact, moving time is all the time with many people of the town of Ahoskie. At the beginning of the new year, there were many changes of residence. Along with the changes came a great many inconveniences to residents of Ahoskie. It was caused by the lack of sufficient houses in the town. In many cases two families and in some cases as n^any as three sperate families have been forced by circumstances to occupy the seme house. Real estate values in the town have taken an almost hundred per cent advance within the past year; bat, notwithstanding the high price of dirt and wood, the householder has been eager to get title to almost any kind of accomodation in the way of ahelter for himself and family^ But, the one great obstacle in the way, has not been high prices; but, too few residences. Many who would at once purchase homes are completely bewildered when they start out on a hunting tour, far the homes ars not ? here. They cannot be purchased at any price, because they are not here. With the war ended and business gradually returning to a peace basis, Ahoskie should witness the greatest building career within its history. In fact, the thing has already reached the point where people most build, or they cannot name Ahoskie their place of residence and abode. There is no dearth ef vacant lota in the town's border; and it is high time that these bare lota were converted Into homes. There are still other! on the outskirts of the town that con!-4 Lieut. Willie Britton, stating that he sites. Ahoskie must do some home mis sion work, or the life of the town has reached its high water mark. Bat, Ahoskie is not going to lie down or the job; she will grow. The Herald predicts a more rapid extension o. the town of Ahoskie than at an-: time since its was first incorporated as a town. It's a good town; and its people are undergoing a renaissance in their methods of doing business. They are realising that to help them selves materially they must first help the town as their "big have." Business homes as well as residen tial houses are "minus" in the town. To b? sore, there are several eye sores located on Main street, many of which should be condemned by the town council, and the owners forced to remove them. Decent busi ness houses on a par with the growth of the town should be erected in their stead. ROBERTSON-CULLINS. Mr. Asa P. Roberston and Miss Lucile Cullins, both ef Ahoskie, were united in marriage, in the parlor of the Manhattan Hotel, last Saturday night, about 8 o'clock. Mr. Robert son is a young business man of Ahos kie whew he is well and favorably known. Mrs. Robertson is the daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Jake Cullins, who reside on route 1, Ahoskie.
