clcks to show hpr some of the
things they hid for a dollar, the
cbrk said. ' I don't know of any
fspciai th'nir, but I mn assure you

CLUB CLOSES
cannot remember, ten years back,
out people say the town has grown
considerably, and I do know It Is
growing larger every day. ,
V think" the llinton Building and
Mr. Robinson's house add a great
deal to Main street.
There are now so many automo
biles in Eliza' eth City that the peo
ple thought it best to make ' new
ftret laws, making everybody time
and hith on the rt.;ht side, ami 1
think it a jod idi, bttuse there
will n il bo so many accidents, but
it ;s lrir. for our hor-.es to pet ac
tus:onie(l to tuin the riirht. way.
Olie of t'.:e .r.ost attractive thinps
I saw in K'izaheth City to beautify
the twon was tho s;:ary beautiful
Canna L'ilies growl::?;, and In bloom
in front of many horrrs, and (.round
tl.o public buildings.
.Another thing I noticed was "the
c1eanl:reis of the town, even on
the outs' iits tho p cple are growing
more particular.
The Dollar Day was so sileces.-fj
I hoe they wi.l continue to have
thorn, and wlille we country people
also town peopb are interested in
beautifying our homes, and tryiai;
to dress hp neat, and cheap as wo
can, we onsht to look out for thy
duentlcn-.l pait ;n cur homes, and
by that I fi'ean have good maiiizireis
and papers to keep up with the
woiKli.'iftil si rides our people are
making In many impri-v-'ttionts that
are bum:; made.
Ther" fs ro tniich golr.; on rfsV
here in our own town, and surround
ing counties that we need our home
papers, arid none will keep us bet
ter posted thin the d-'.ir o, Ad
varc, and while the fire di-iday of
i bargains in each store 1 v'sited ln
( ternstnd tun, 1 think that if I could
; have viM'ed The Advance o'Sr.o.
and seen bow and where they print
onr frn, that keeps us po("d on
al! important things that hajipen 1
wou'ri have tren even more inter
