.--THURSDAY, JULY 19, 1923.
Pull with us for the 10 cents
bus.
Times were seldom so good
for the American laborer, but
still the American farmer gets
it in the neck.
The way Mr. Harding is prac
ticing on running trains and
sich, maybe he's got a notion he
isn't going to be running the
White House much longer.
The finding of a stolen mail
bag in a field is bound to cause
dark suspicion in the mind of a
man whose mail on a number ot
occasions recently has reached
him a week late.
Who says the Associated
Press ain't got no pep? If you
don't believe it's pep every step,
read the boxed story of the dis
astrous ending of a game of Af
rican golf in Steubenville, Ohio,
in The Advance today.
Lots of us who haven't been
to a baseball game this season
would find an excuse to attend
a game if we happened to hear
that Bill Poyner of Poplar
( Branch was going to pitch
again.
A woman suffrage paper has'
a cartoon depicting "Bridge and
, Gossip" on the one hand, with
"Brains and Government" on
the other. Wonder how "Babies'
and Husbands" would do. Any
way, they didn't seem to consid-'
er this suggestion. Maybe it was
because we hadn't made it then.
The opening of the new road'
through Tadmore, The Advance'
hopes, will make us not only
better acquainted with Gates
County and the rest of the State,
but with our own County as
well. No part of the County is
bo little known in Elizabeth City
as Tadmore. Indeed, most
folks here are better acquainted
, with Camden, Currituck or Per
quimans than with this fertile
Bection of our own County.
A Needless Tip
This from the Raleigh Times:
"The Ilakor heirs we wish well
and hopo they will pet all fifty of
the nillltonH of dollarx HUpponed to
constitute the estate of a North Car
olinian who went to California In
1849; but since the Associated Press
has never been able to find a record
of the 'Baker In question or his es
tate, we have a notion that they'd
get more money out of a fall crop
of turnips."
For the benefit of Os Coffin,
The Advance wants to say that
the two Baker heirs of this sec
tion are letting their lawyer do
the work of trying to locate the
Baker fortune and are both busy
growing a crop. Mr. Baker of
Pasquotank is the man who's
been growing a good part of the
truck that C. O. Robinson of
this city has sold at such fancy
prices.
