"W "3T WHERE THE BEST CLOTHES COME FROM Circulates in six counties , "Entered as second-clas matter, May 19, 1911. at the Tost Office at .Elizabeth City, North Carollnn, un der the act ot March 3rd, 1879." Li ' SPEAKING OF PROSPERITY "Marriages are n sign of Prorper Ity". Yen have heard that Proverb often l.efore, hut did you ever s-c anything like Its demonstration on .Wednesday? ! Mr, Munden has marris'd mofe (BOUples than he did Wednesday, but they WiTo couples from Virginia generally speakinn. Wednesday's marriages were chiefly I'anquotank "and Camden County people, you, will notice, and there Is not any doubt about the prosperity of these two counties this year. Be fore the holidays are over very likely Currituck, Tyrrell, Perquim ans and Dare will be trying to see If they en n't put Pasquotank and Camden In the shade in this respect lor prosperity, Judging by the num ber of Advance readers from this big section who are doing their hopping in Elizabeth City this t7eek, Is abounding throughout the C'hole northeastern corner of the best State In the Union. Of course, some grouch who reads this will at once try to quote the remainder of the proverb to jrou about marriages also being a $lgn of coming hard times, but we tave noticed that such pessimism hai never stopped Cupid or Hymen yet. We received yesterday one dollar to be forwarded to Mr. Clyde Bate man at Sanitorlum In tints for Christmas Day. Others have8ald that they wanted to share in this gift, but the editor of the Advance ha? J'pen unable to leave the office and shop and gather these gifts to gether, ..,.. We should like Very mucn to for ward a check of good size this young man who is fljrhttflg his way back to health. Away from his wlfp and little ones, with the recent death of his father to sadden his heart, Christmas Day wi:i be a lone ly one If no word goes to him from his home town. Any amount , however small, left at this office or mailed to the Advance will he included In this Rift with pleisure. The letter will be mailed Saturday nkht or Sun day at noon, find we hope to have an amount that will be of real help. The Advance welcomes home for the holidays the boys and girls whp havp been away to college, gome of them have already won honors In one or more of the va rious phases of college activities, and have made the Home Town proud of them. They will come back to make the Home Town a better town, or they will go out in il world to work and to reflect credit Upon their Home Town. We don't believe that there 13 any danger of saying it too often, and s0 we -epeat again one of our favorite Chautauqua lines, "De pend on the boy b and girls". NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATION The awarding of pite'H by lito W. V. T. U. for the he;-t essays on the "Crowth or temperance in Amor lea" seems to us nioist fitting. That the young peop'e of this generation should ho reminded at this season o the value of tenipcr ence work Is Ind ' d well. The Christmas punch bowl is no more uud the Christmas carousal is for tho .most part, relegated to the past. Instead, we have the - happi ness of little children and the joy of giving. The contrast Is marked, and the blessing is one of the greit est of which we may boast. The part which the W. C. T. U. has played in this work is too long a story to tell here, but we ha"e no douLt but the story o the growth of temperanoe will - proctiin It in bold letters. Having qualified as Executrix of the lute Mairet Cartwright I here by give notice-to .all persons indebt ed to her estate to come forward ai.d make Immediate settlement and tuose holding claims against the same to present them for payment within twclve months fre-n the date of this notice, or it wll! be pleaded in the bar of their recovery.

Six Americans wene aboard but rone were killed. Miss Annie Jones, who has been teaching in South Carolina, passed through the city Thursday enroute to her home at Manteo. Last year at this season we re ceived a gift which bore tho lnscrlp tion "To the Cream of Editors" and Its contents were the 'real thing", that is, reil cream. And last sum 'mer the little editor in chief got similar gifts, always with a word of cheer. This morning we found waiting for us on the desk this gift with the words "Just a sample of the White Christmas". There is never any name, fo- tho giver i3 not one who covets public ity. Cut It doesn't tcke a detective to find the kind heirts in a com munity, if you have ever been poor yoWself and fstrugr.led alona; you sometime., seano'v knew hof or why. you've learn-d like Kri Lippo Llppl. to read faces and lives, anl you hn't learned tmmethim: more, an overwhelming vr.u it udo r friendship, an fvtrnest desire to i;ss slong to sonip one else the food things which you have received. And this is something ct the Christmas spirit . The rincere Kympathy of lhn c '.! tor of The Advance goes but to these who have re emly been Vo reaved und to whim, therefore, the holiday season with its festivities Is fraught with Borrow. We know that, there nro many who "will smile and Pay "Merry Chiis.tinas" for the sake of friends and loved ones when their hearts are very heavy with the losn of mother, father, husband, wife or little child. And it. la these .who know the real meaning of unselfish ness perhaps more thnn any other and' to whom Christmas Day, Phorn of tlnse! and glitter becomes In re ality the birthday of the Christ Child.
