THIS WEEK'S BIBLE THOUGHT BOAST NOT; Boast no thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. Pro verbs 27:1. WELCOME TO THE SOUTHERN COTTON OIL COMPANY A right hearty welcome is express ed by the Hertford business men to the Southern Cotton Oil Company in this week's issue of The Perquimans iWeekly. The Perquimans Weekly is no less hearty in its greeting to the South ern Cotton Oil Company. For more than thirty yeais the cot ton oil business conducted by Use Eastern Cotton Oil Company in Hert ford was one of the most important industries, not only of Hertford and Perquimans, but of this entire sec tion. Their operations extmdedover a wide area of Eastern North Care Una and Wecteastern Virginia. The accident which wrecked the oil mill nearly two years ago cur tailed the. operations of the company here and was a very serious blow to the business life of the community. The considerable reduction . in the pay roll of the business affected a great many persons. The announcement some weeks ago that the Hertford property of the Eastern Cotton Oil Company had been sold to the Southern Cotton Oil Company and that the business would be restored to its former capacity, with possible extensions and improve ments, was good news for Perqui mans. The oil mill probably will be in operation within the next three weeks. Already the company has be gun to buy cotton and seed. The Southern Cotton Oil Company is one of the big corporations of the country, with branches all over the entire cotton belt The coming of die Southern Cotton Oil Company intc any town is most decidedly a good thing for that town. Welcome! HIT OR MISS I am. going to say to Dr. Sawyer, 'Now, Doctor, you an3 I have been mighty good friends, but if you hurt me very much that friendship is go ing to be broken," HarreO. Johnson, the. young son of Mr.' and Mrs. Char, lea ' Johnson, made ; the foregoing statement on the eve of his engage ment this week, with Dr. W, W. Saw yer in Elizabeth City. " Harrell has been having ear trouble which had to have attention by the n Specialist. Whether or not the - friendship was broken 1 havent learned yet. JL Ji Fleetwood is authority for this. Green corn, of which there' is an abundance : in the country now, may oe kept in brine for winter use. The recipe is to select tender ears of green com and pack, unshucked, in a keg or a lard stand or other large receptacle, and add brine, as in preserving cucumbers : for picking. Soak in fresh water when ready to cooTc " . , Mr. Fleetwood, who has eaten corn preserved in this way, says it is de- licious. Corp Reed says he is going to put some up this week. Most folks think Rob Morris has already "got his growth". I have my doubts. Rob, himself, says he has measured 6 feet 8 inches and weigh ed 195 pounds for a year now and he thinks he probably wont grow any morn, But Rob is still only 17. He had a birthday this week. They're counting on Rob as good football fod der at the Perquimans High this year. Rob looks like he could lick any thing that tackled him, but that hunt anything to do with his atti tude toward snakes. Rob says he was scared pretty badly the other day when he happened to turn his head toward a cedar tree m his back yard where he was standing and saw a big copperhead snake lying on a limb. He killed the snake but he says he certainly was scared when he discov ered that snake within three feet of his head. Rob tells a better snake story than this, however. He said another fel low told him about seeing a snake kill himself in a very peculiar way. The snake had swallowed an egg, causing a big lump inside, and then it stretched its head through a small opening in a fence to get another egg on the other side of the fence, and af ter it swallowed that it couldn't either get through the fence or go back, and so it just died like . that Cute, wasn't it! John Hampshire and Tommy Rich ardson, the two English boys who vi sited Miss Francis Fowler in Hert- f or this summer, are not supersti tious.. They sailed for London last Friday, which happened to be Friday the thirteenth. ,r yA snaie tit James i Goodman on the hand, causing considerable swell ing, on Tuesday. Mr. Goodman who lives in Durants Neck, and who "was In town on Wednesday; said It was a small snake- which he attempted -to pick up. v The variety of snake was not determined. ' " A mad rush 'to get licenses to drive automobiles ; while they may be secured without charge was made on W. H. Pitt, clerk of the Superior Court, on Saturday, resulting in 175 applications having been filed by Mr. Pitt from Saturday to Wednesday afternoon. ' , ? - The only cost attached to securing drivers license before -November 1 is the 25 cents v charged' by the officer before whom affidavit is made by the applicant After November 1 drivers of private cars will be charged $1.00 for the license and chauffeurs will be charged $2.00. COTTON STIMULATING LOCAL BUSINESS Very stimulating to local business is the opening of the cotton season. The market " opened on Tuesday morning at the price of 8 3-4 cents. That a good deal of cotton will be picked this week is indicated by the fact that the Southern Cotton Oil Company purchased around twenty thousand pounds on Tuesday. With good weather conditions for the rest of the week, a considerable amount of cotton will be picked by Satur day. In addition to the money which the cotton brings when sold, a consider able sum of money is placed in cir culation by the cotton pickers. CONGRATULATIONS! Congratulations to Judge Walter H. Oakey, Jr., who won first prize in the Hercules trophy match at Camp Perry, Ohio. Winning an important rifle match in an affair of such proportions as the national rifle and pistol matches conducted by the United States War Department is an achievement of which Judge Oakey may well be proud. NO PLACE ON SIDEWALKS FOR GRAPE. HULLS Grape season is here. Perquimans County grapes are known far and wide for their excellence. Great quantities of this delicious fruit from the large vineyards throughout the county are brought to Hertford for sale. Many are retailed out to the crowds gathered tn the streets on Saturdays, and sometimes as the grapes are eaten the hulls are thrown carelessly on the sidewalks.""" , Not only are grape bulls' on the sidewalks an unsightly mess, but they are dangerous. Stepping on a grape null-often causes one's foot to slip, sometimes resulting in injury to the unwary. An old lady of Hertford who stepped on one and fell, break ing her hip, never walked ' again. : Grape hulls and bannana peels should never.be left where' they might be stepped upon. Let's be more careful. Gaston County7 cotton growers re port a heavy ; infestation " of army r:rms but say the crop is too far ad vanced to be seriously injured. Leppedese on the farms of M.
