LET'S TKV AGAIN ' Quite inadvertently the An- vanck stumbled boiuc weeks ugo upon a project now almost for gotten but ouce nearly couBunmt' ed. in suggesting that the Port mouth, bouth Mills and Elizabeth City Itailroad, if constructed should be extended to Lister's pier, this papeiv did not know that a little more than two years ago an attempt was made -to form a stock company to build a road from that point to Elizabeth lUpiuiy uevelopiujf counties in uie sitae ' bo t-uecseu una reuuueu. li is a shame tuat tuis tuiouu ue There may not be one man in Gaiesville or in dates couuiy wno could buila a railroad and operate it on his own resources. Lut a few iueu could get togetu er and uo it. iiut in the case of Gates County it would- not be necessary to operate the road. The-Norfolk Southern would buy can collect such accounts'. ' The Advance is not concerned with any question aa to which of these positions in correct. This paper has no desire to collect any account which is not just and which one to whom a statement is sent does not believe to be just. But we do aend out statements, as do practically all publications, notifying subscribers as to when their subscriptions expire. The object x of these statements, . of course, is simply to prevent mis understanding, and not to "dunn ' our customers for money. Like most- publications, the An vanok regards all subscriptions as permanent unless we are ad vised to the contrary when the subscription is taken. Wc have devised, however, a system where- by; tlie pnjter of subscribers who prefer it fa automatically discon tinued when their time Is n. .

Best Glasses only 'contemplated but that the stock was subscribed almost to the amount deemed necessary for the effecting of the project;. But for the lack of a small fraction of the twenty-five thousand dol- ' lars asked for, the plan fell to earth. Now if nearly twenty-five thousand dollars was subscribed for this undertaking two years a go, it ought to.be altogether pos sible to get more than that amount now. Elizabeth City is bigger than it was two years ago; it is more progressive, and less torn by dissension and strife Onr v streets have been paved. Ppite of the scepticism "once pre railing, Elizabeth City now has gas. It s cotton oil mill is in op eration.

Avery's steek FRJUl, SICKLY CHILD Restored to Health by Vinol Letter to Mothers. - Anxious mothers often wonder why their children are io pale, thin, and nervous and have bo little appetite. For the benefit of such mothers In this vicinity we publish the followlnf letter. J. Edmund Miller, New Haven, Conn., say 8: ."My little daughter, ever since her birth, had been frail and sickly, and waa a constant source of worriment Several months ago we commenced to give her Vinol. I Im mediately noted an improvement la her health and appearance. I gave her three bottles of Vinol. and from the good It has done her I can truly aay it will do all yon claim." . Thla child's recovery waa dne to the combined action of the medicinal elements extracted from cods' livere, -combined with the blood-making and strength-creating properties of tonic iron, which are contained In Vinol. Vinol will build up and strengthen delicate children, old people and the weak, run-down and debilitated. We return the money In every case where it fails. ' Standard Drug co.
