Speaking of newspapers, Mrs.
Joyce Bell's mother, who lives
in the old F annie Cooper Home
brought to me two papers the
other day. One is The Duplin
Enterprise which was published
In Rose HOI and dated Febru
ary 4,1915. The editor and pub
lisher of the paper was R. L.
Carr of Rose Hill and the As
sociate Editor was R. C. Prid
gen. of Wy^aw^O^^^n
QT news except for social Items.
The front page was half state
and national news, at which
time the European War held
much Interest. The rest of the
front page was filled with legal
notices. Much of the writing in
the paper was about different
drugs for stogiach ailments and
hair beautiflers.
One ad was for Tutt's Pills,
and I quote "If you Have Ma
laria or Piles, Sick Hejplache,
Costive Bowels, Dumb Ague,
Sour Stomach, and Belching; If
your food does not assimi
late and you have no appetite
Tutt's Pills will remedy these
troubles. Price, 25*". Now to
day, only 52 years later, do we
have any medicine so thorough
and so inexpensive?
The other paper was a News
and Observer dated November
26,1911. It does not carry much
sensational news and very few
pictures . However, the state
must have had the proMems
with whiskey 56 years ago as it
