"Will you excuse it please???"]
on the back page is right.
It would be hard lines if the!
County had to sell the dogs to
collect its do? taxes.
To lie poverty-stricken and I
clean is pretty nearly the im
possible for a city.
The acceptance of the resig
nation pf Dr. McBrayer is what
this newspaper would call un-l
hurried action.
Now'd be the time, with all
these sales going on in Elizabeth
City, that if we had money to I
spend we'd spend it.
We know that if you took our
advice and attended the concert
at the high school auditorium
Wednesday night you are not
sorry.
It's really beginning to look
as though there might be hard-1
er sledding ahead for the bonus
than theve was in the last Con
gress.
Here's hoping that your bank
balance at the end of 1923
showed as healthy an Increase
for the year as did total deposits
of Elizabeth City banks.-' "
The Advance could have
wished that the parallel parking
ordinance had been given at
least a month's trial prior to
drastic amendment.
If the German ex-Crown
Prince had always had as good
teachers as when he was learn
ing from little children, the his
tory of the world in this genera
tion might have been different.
~ "Must have been looking f or
a place to warm," says the Ra
leigh Times, in observing the ar
rival of the first spring shad in
Elizabeth City. Well, if they
had waited until Thursday they
would have found it.
[ 'With the city ordinances!
passed by the City Council Moivj
day night in full in this issue,
and \vith the various news items
previously published in this
newspaper about these ordinan
ces, we hope you get 'em
straight.
Nina Wilcox Putnam can't
understand why her literary ad
viser's wife had to go and stari
something. But then one sus
pects that Nina hasn't put in (
much time trying to understand
anybody except herself.
Says the Hickory Record:
"David Lawrence is regarded as
one of the best newspaper writ
ers in America, ? sane and
fair." The Advance always
seeks the best of anything that
it goes after.
Candidates themselves have
promised to defer the opening of
the campaign for Governor. But
, evidently their friends are not
holding themselves bound by
such promises. To all intents
and purposes the campaign is
on..
The editor of Tft? Advance
had the pleasure of voting for
Ellison D. Smith of South Caro
lina when he first ran for the
Seiflftte. And now here he is
chairman of the Interstate Com
merce Committee of a Republi
can Senate.
The erection of a municipal
building and the establishment
of a municipal dock are mat
ters that the City Council could
hardly do better than give se
rioua consideration to. Here's
hoping that Elizabeth City is at
last in line for both these im
provements.

Old Santa's Factory
Keeps a Year Ahead;
Sonneberg. Tburingia, Jan. 10. ?
Santa Claus' museum of toys in
Sonneberg, one of the manufacturing
centers of Germany, is soon to have
an additional wins or two to house
the mass of playthings which have]
been crowded into the place for gen- 1
j e rat ions.
The museum which contains hun
dreds of thousands of dolls and lit
jtle men and women of most of the
, nations of the earth. Is said to con
tain the largest collection of toys
and novelties ever assembled under
'one roof. Everything in the toy line
j which has been manufactured by the
Sonneberg toy Industry from Its very
beginning, has been collected here
| for the benefit chiefly of foreign buy
ers. Every boy, and most of the
j girls, of Germany, have heard of
i Santa Claus' toy shop here but few
j have ever been admitted. Children
are barred, unless accompanied by
j their parents.
Sonneberg already has on display
i models in Its museum for Christmas,

keeps Just about H year ahead of old
