FRIDAY, AUGUST 27, 1!)2S —i i ■ ■■■urininwirTmmn- nr-.-i - **j*w*« Good Citizen Leaves This newspaper voices the senti ments of the entire community in lamenting the loss of Rev. 1 heo ciore Partrick, Jr., who delivered] his farewell sermon here last Sun day at Grace church.. Next week j he leaves for Scotland Neck, where | he will make his new home and as sume the rectorship of the Episco pal church at that place. hie came here from a theological seminary in Alexandria, \ irginia, in January, 1921, and assumed charge o! Grace church. His achievements here arc recognized as among the very best of Ply mouth's assets, and his value as a citizen as well as a minister cannot he computed by an ordinary mind, j consequently we snail not attempt to express in words the feeling and appreciation that is in our heart. It’s impossible. Eulogies are usual ly written for those who have de parted for another realm of which we know little, but if ever v/e were seized with a desire to eulogize the living that desire is now gripping at us: He is a fine Christian gentleman, possessing all those splendid attri butes of character that endears any person in the hearts of a communi ty. This man will be missed by peonle from all walks of life, and in all elements of civic existence. He is an Episcopalian, but enjoys an equal regard from all other religious denominations as is accorded him by the laiety of the belief of his choice. (j* He goes to Scotland Neck emi nently equipped in both heart and mind to serve the people oi that Community a's a teacher of the theories of the Bible and to ex emplify the spirit of brotherly love, irm Chief Means Business Chief Brown told us this week that lie had made a personal call upon all property owners in Ply mouth that had vacant lots on which a rank growth oi weeds and grass was flourishing, and warned them that if they did not have them cut down that he would use the street crew and do it himself and compel the owners to pay the cost of the operation. There arc a great number of careful property owners in the town that are using practically all their spare time in making im provements in the appearance of their property. No matter how hard these people work and how much they accomplish the maxi mum improvement will not have been attained until their neighbors do likewise. It is a source of much satisfaction, however, to note that the careless aie greatlv in the mi nority and if the proper persuasion is used it will be only a short time when all the premises of the town will be in a neat and orderly state. Chid Brown seems to feel that it w ill not be necessary for him to employ his regular crew and ma terial in cleaning up neglected premises, for he has an idea that the heretofore careless and neglect ful property owners will give him all the co-operation possible. We hope so. CONTAGIOUS DISEASES Tha following is the list of contagious diseases reported in Washington County for the month of July 1&26. WHOOPING COUGH: Plymouth; Daphne Watkins, E 0.

My child, if you would shine today, Attend with care to what I say. The modern rule for health and hiiss, May briefly be described as this: Whatever you have ever done, Assume that it is wrong, my son; Whatever you have done before, You must not do it any more. Don’t brush your teeth across or down. Or up; it makes the expert frown. (To keep them fit as any fiddle, Brush back and part them in the middle.) Rich foods internal ills provoke; Lunch lightly off some weli-boiled coke. An upright posture strains the head; Try walking on the hands instead. When influenza reappears, Try breathing deeply through the ears. Thus every day and every way Give modern methods fuller play. Try writing letters with your toes And hearing through your eyes and nose. But, more important far than that, 0, keep on talking through your hat! Teacher: “John ho.v many bones have you in your boby?” John: “ About a million.” Teachea: “Thaat a great deal more than I have.” Jhon; “Well, you didn’t have fish for breakfast like I did this morning.” “George,” said a pompous squire to an old farm laborer, “you are getting very bent. Why don’t you stand up straight like me?” “Well, sir,” answered George “d’ye see yon field of corn?’* “I do,” said the squire. “Then ye’ll notice that the full heads hang down, while the empty heads stand up.” They met by accident in a bank and before long were exc hanging Solid words. Evidently there was an old grudge tetvveen them. ‘ You looked down on me when I was poor,” bawled one. “To day I can write rny check for a million. ” Fe wrote a check for a million. “Now I'll show you what I ,think of a million. ” He tore up the check. Tramp: “Will you please give give me a quarter for a bed?” Man: “I dunno, let me see the old bed first.” Englishman (eating a fish cake for the first time): I say, old chap, something has died in my biscuit.” “Do you like codfish balls?” “I don’t know. I never attend ed one.” “Haven’t you anything at all to give me ma’am?” pleaded the tramp. Can’t you see that I’m in need?” “I can, indeed, my poor man, replied the kind hearted lady, moved to tears. “Here is a cake of soap.” NOTICE OF ENTRY North Carolina: Washington County To Mrs. A L.
