Elizabeth Lrty is now in
first class in the matter of its
postoffice. It's been a first
class town in other respects all
along.
Rotary and Kiwanis have
been in Elizabeth City now for
a little more than a year. Just
a year ao last Friday Rotary
entertained the newly organ
ized Kiwanis Club at a ban
quet. These organizations are
doing a great deal to promote
mutual understandings in Eliz
abeth City and so to pave the
way for real progress.
Nothing that has occurred
in Elizabeth City during the
present year has given The
Advance more genuine satis
faction than the plan set on
foot by Rev. Frank Scatter
good to organize boy scout
troops in Elizabeth City. The
Advance bespeaks for Mr.
-Scattergood, whom somehow
we would like to call by his
first name, the hearty co-operation
of all parents in Eliza
beth City.
One Thing and Another
.We can't for the life of us
become greatly interested in
the Twelve Greatest Women
in the United States, but we
are more than interested in the
Twelve Greatest Fish Liars.
Are nominations in order?
That's all right; we don't
intend to tell what we know.
Of course, we recognize the
ability of Herbert Brimley,
Stedman Thompson, George j
Justice, Ed. Carter, Mose
Wo6Qarr, Harry Davis, Fire
Insurance McClenaghan, Nan
cy Parker, Bill Horton, and a
host of others; but the season
isnt over, we dont know who
has the most worms saved up
and we aren't taking any
chances.
But when it comes to the
twelve unluckiest politicians
we are beginning to believe
that we are qualified to speak.
There's Mayor Eldridge, John
Bray and Commissioner
Mooneyham at the head of the
list. You can go ahead and
name the other nine. Raleigh
