READY TO CO-OPERATE The tru-jking season is at hand end the lri--.li potatoes art! beginning to move. The farmer is putting forth all his resources to get his crop on the market while the prices are high and everybody is In a hurry, In this situation it occurs to us that the Norfolk Southern might save numbers of Pasquotank farmers much trouble by erecting a platform, constructing a siding somewhere near where the Vailroad comes from North Road street, and making arrangements to re ceive potato shipments at that point. If any of our farmer friends think well of the suggestion they might get what they want by asking for it. We will be glad to take the matter up with the railroad if a suf ficient number of pota'o shippers will manifest interest In the propo sition . THE HOME PAPER AT A DISTANCE It does us good occasionally-' to" see ourselves from the outsider viewpoint. How The Advance im presses one who has but recently become -acquainted with the pictuJo city of the l'Bsqnotnnk may be Knth cred from the following letter, Which-reached us In yesterday's mall: Mr. Herbert Peole, Kditor The Advance, Elizabeth City, N.

The very nice reference yon make to the Rnhmond delegation at the recent banqu't of the Chamber of Commerce, oe'ive me. is nioft thoroughly appreciated. Tom Me Adams had it right when he said that one cf the reasons that Rich mon men were at Eizibeth City was that it was good business for any town to help it? neighbor town help i'f If and whi'e we were in Klizv bth City to hlp Eliza' eth City help itself let the Flizale'h City men so out in'o their logical territo-y and he'p the farmers and merchants help themselves. It is the lt possible co-cperation and the surest for good results. Put your adver'i-inr: proposition up to th" busiress w-n cf Eliza beth Ciy and put it up s'rong.

The people of this oily and sec tion wbQ.,i.t:endeT"its past Fessions realized that any ;i;i -le p ri'ormanoe' attended was worth, and would cost elsewhere, the price of the season tic ket. Further th n that, it N very ei 4le-nt--t-hal each year t!u: proiiram. Is isade better some new feature is added. Chaut iiiq-.u n t only olTe s you many times your money's worth but if is an advertiser and booster for the city ty setting biuh and funda mental idea's for its growth. The best, men of the' city know this for each year one hundred of these guar ante? the Chautauqua headquarters a success the coming year. This yeir the program consists ol The twn in moving pictures, in eluding the parade which will be given Saturday evening and shown Saturday night. A lecture on the 'Conquest of the Arctic" by Dr. Lincoln Wirt. Sacred and secular sonns ly ten boys r.'prcsen'ing the choirs of the "Greater Loston Churches; ' Hosanl,' the Impersonator the "I rince of the Jugglers;" Mi-h grade ini'sic classical and popular by the well known Victor's Hand; " '-. vy Classical but extremely popular musical program by the Schubert String Quartet; "Happiness," a Chautauqua mora lity play those who saw the Chau tauqua play last year are not likely to miss the opportunity this year; A lecture on "The liurden of the Nations," by the fascinating orator Dr. Thomas E. Green; The strollers quartet, probatdy the best known in America; The Bijou trlo.a program of Opera and Neapolitan Folk Songs in cos tumesongs in straight concert form, solos, ducts, quartets; A lecture on "Makers of America" by Dr. S. Parks Cadman who prov ed last year one of the most popu lar oratots who has appeared on the Chautauqua platform here; Then ' The Mikado" ' the biggest Chautauqua feature ever attempted" that's enough to say. So what's the matter with Chau tauqua? Why don't you buy a season tick et? .You can't niiikn two dollars do more for you or for the town. Even If you don't go to a single perfor mance you will feed $oi worth of the influence. Chautauqua is not only for you; it Is for the town, If you think the4 performance prices lire too low buy two, three or six tickets enough to make it right! What's the matter with Chautau- I: s as r-c-irly all ri:: a human ity caa cale it. One hundred men are guarin'.eir.i i's success. Will you let thc-ra bar the burden? "Gx,d Night:" Man! what's the matter .with your heart! Or where Is it "at?" A THRICE TOLD TALE The Chautauqua offers opportuni ty for the man who bemoans his lack of advantages and early school ing to et in touch and step with "he spirit of the age. with the trend of m;dern thought. It enables him to catch something ef the trained man's viewpoint and vir-iou of the fnwaid and upward movement of humanly. It helps Urn to under ttand and appreciate something of the meaning of the world of moving events and opens his eyes more com pletely to the fact that he is his brother's keeper. O.i tbe ether hand, to the nan whuLaaLad .. the Lcst. cf advanta ges and trapiin. Chautauqua Is a time- for getting ba-k to the foun tains ef inspiruti ,n. for tnewln? fui'h, fe r tukiag eo-ra-re, for increas ing strength, for getting a new bold on 'happiness. One whose early z-ul tor the beautiful and .the true has. been ii. riilod ly for ' fulness or folly or disappoint; nt can ru tej'ul Chaii'auquu and brin back his youth. There! We tried to say that last we. U . Put the tries' of " the linotype iu-ei the puzzles of the ecli tor's ehircgraphy and the mental cobwebs cf t he midnight- hour re pressed our no! le rage and cri;.p!e! enr fancy. We made it 1 ar in tb d,.ily at risk of repeti'ien t-.i d n u nc say it again. . --fo:jie things t!i;:t wc write are W.oi h rwdina t wo or t !i ree t i me s anyway. EET US KloHT Two summers ago a visitor in the ci'y for a month said when the vis it was drawing to the tdose, "I never hhv people read a newspaper ai tlie.-e people read The Advance. If there's a typographical error In it tiny see it. I don t believe that they skip a word. I have lived in two or three towns and have visited in a good many more, and In all of these I never heard the home paper spekon of as often nor watched as carefully." We had forgotten that instance t:ntil the transposing of two names in the tabulated report of election returns brought it back to mind. Everybody we met -next day was telling us how we had mixed Saw yer's vote with Lanii's. Well, we like to be watched and We want to lie corrected when we are wrong. Our mistakes are often caused by Ion,; and late hours spent in the effort to serve you well. Let us know about our mistakes anct we will make correction in the next day's issue. E, M. DeFORD line following resolutions of re spect were adopted by Board of Directors, Citizens Bank, Elizabeth City, North Carolina, on Wednesday May 31, 1918. Eminently fitting and proper It is, that we should give public -expression to our esteem for, and confidence in our fellow Director, E. M. DeFord who on the 18th day cf May I91fi heard the last clear call, and laid a side nil earth'y affairs as his spirit winged its flight toward the eternity which lies out beyond our vision. For four years be gathered around our table, and we learned to appre ciate his fidoli'y, rely upon h!s judg ment, and admire his stcrlitr.' quali ties. Therefore he it resolved: 1. That In the death of E. M . De Ford, we individually and as a Poard or Directors feel that A great los 1ms ben sus'ainee!; a life has been removed from our ml. 1st which com manded our con "d nee and w:is wor thy nf the high ediniate In which he was held. .2. That recognizing the s',iveroi;n ty of the .Maker of men, we bow submission to the departure of our friend, but shall ever miss his pres ence among us. and feel a keen loss that" we no longer hnve his counsel upon which we had learned to rely --mtii atoii tire urai irmu urvr cut-off." tut a cc-y cf t-.ie r-.-.-i. : ..tl. r. s 'e fvct to trctSerr cf decease!, a ccpy s.real upon cur niinu'es, and a eery furni-hed The Aivance with repuest for pa1 location.
