Proverbs 16:7. WE SYMPATHIZE Deepest sympathy is expressed for the stricken family of Dr. G. E. Newby, whose sudden and untimely passing has brought sorrow to so many hearts. s With the fate of W. A. Williams still in the balance, friends and loved ones are praying for the recovery of the young man whose mother is al ready heart-broken over the tragic death of her brother. I THEY DONT MIX When the awful consequences of driving while drunk is brought home to us, as it has been in the past week, when the life of one in our midst is snuffed out and serious in """"""i'llry is inflicted upon another, we Ifel more keenly than ever before out the mixing of gasoline and li- fluor. Even the most prudent and careful driver is unable to take care of him teelf or his passengers when a drunk en driver is on the highway.

I It is possible that eighty thousand dollars is too much money to spend ton new shcools and improvements in Perquimans. It is highly probable (that two suitable schools can be built and the necessary improvements HIT OR MISS I i very: By m. l. w.

We'll catch the broken threads aga'in, And finish what we here began Heaven will the mystery explain, And there, sometime, well understand. We'll know why clouds instead of sun Were over many a cherished plan, Why song has ceased when scarce be gun, Yes, there, sometime's we'll understand.

This opportunity tonll hardy come again. JtfTie present Board of Commis sioners of Perquimans is very con servative. These men are slow to spend money. That is as it should be. They ought to be careful of the county's funds. Doubtless, there Jiave been many expenditures made (which should not have been made. ' JHowever, a certain amount of spend ing is necessary in carrying on the (affairs of the county. Two new school buildings in Per quimans are matters of necessity. The repairs and improvements plan . v, jied for ether school property are ur i ' ' Igent needs. .' The action of the Board in making ..application for the full amount sug Rested, with the stipulation that the J Board will only borrow what it be lieves to be necessary, is a wise course.

Selected "MUGGINS" I don't know why it should, but watching the yong girls, in their ab breviated bathing suits, saunter in from a dip in the Perquimans, brpught to mind something ah old, old woman told me once. It was some twenty years ago, and this old lady was well in her eighties. She said that when she was a young lady and wore the sweeping long dresses of the period it was consid ered most immodest to allow even the ankle to show the least bit, and if, upon occasion, wh'ile sitting in mixed company, a girl's foot should happen to extend out a few inches be yond the edge of her skirt, another girl seeing the shocking sight would murmur "muggins". - That, she said was the signal to the girls to be care ful, for somebody's foot was show ing a little too plainly. Dear, oh, dear: Why dosen't any body ever whisper "muggins" any more ? A certain Hertford woman motc rist, commenting on the havoc wrought on the highways by drunk en drivers of automobiles, advanced the suggestion that the highways should be turned over entirely to the drunken drivers six days in the week, with sober drivers in possession one day. "That is an odd idea", somebody said, "Why only one day for the so ber drivers ?" "The drunken drivers would soon all be killed", she replied, "and . meantime they would not kill anybody else. This would leave the sober drivers in .complete possession of the roads. , It wouldn't take long". . Probably the . idea is fantastic, bat It does seem a pity that drunken dri vers cannot be eliminated in. some way. . , They stress the matter of perso nal attention to the comfort of the guests at the Hotel Hertford, and pro bably Mrs. J. G. Campbell is more resourceful thai the ; average hotel hostess.' , One , hot day ., last , week ' a Woman who had stopped with a party at . the hotel for lunch was . heard" to exclaim "How I would enjoy a glass of that iced tea!" "You see", she went on, "I am not allowed to have bugar. Mrs. Campbell did not shake her head in sympathetic understand ing, but stepping forward, she ex tended a small vial. "Never mind," she said, "we are prepared to serve you with sacharine . The lady was eloquent in her appreciation. It would be hard to say who got more publicity from the error made in last's week's issue of the Perqui mans Weekly in connection with the cut of the store of the Hertford Hardware & Supply Co., which ap peared with the notation that it was J. C. Blanchard & Company's store, where the big sale was going on. But if anybody would like to know who got the' kidding I can put them wise. WINFALL NEWS Mrs. D. R.
