Harding and Elizabeth City and The Ad vance mourn witn it. Out of the day of mourning, let us hope, will come a fullei and more abundant spirit of that peace on*earth and good will to ward men for which Warren C. Harding always labored?how wisely or how well it is not foi a people still bowed in sorrow at his passing to say. And The Advance hopes that this may be true npt only of our national life, but of our com munity life as well. If on the morrow the grief which we have felt and shared with a^wtrote nation at the death of our chosen chieftain has not purged our hearts of malice and driven out any bitterness that may have lurked in them, then, so far as we are concerned. Warren Harding will have given his life for his country in vain. The Advance is probably wrong about it, as it has been in some other matters, but, grant ing that Maxwell is right about the State's finances, which ev-i erybody now except Governor j Morrison seems ready to con-] cede, this newspaper can't bring itself to believe that the situa-l tion is such as t? make a special, session of the Legislature either! probable or necessary. f? 3 Thursday was a good day for digging sweet potatoes, judging by the appearance of the Van-j sciver as loaded to capacity she swung into her moorings at the North: River Line dock Friday j morning. Elizabeth City and Pasquo tank sportsmen are advised toj get posted on the provisions of the new hunters' license law, which was published in full in, this newspaper yesterday. Elizabeth City is sometimes a bit slow to realize what the proper thing is, but the old town, once she realizes what is expected of her, rises to the oc casion right nobly. The Advance confesses to a feeling of keen disappointment that Elizabeth City's City Plan-, ning Commission, authorized by act of the 1923 Legislature, has not yet been named. Talk about camps, but as for / us and our house, give us the home and farm demonstration camp above all others. TIMELY TOPICS Electric Funa frvoo Electric Btoven - 92.00 Electric Turn Tonwtir *Q.i?
