A WORTHY ORGANIZATION
The. Perquimans Weekly is pleased
to learn of the existence in Hertford
of an organization of young Negro
men known as the Young Men's Pro
gressive dub.
The organization, which is some
thing more than a year old, has for
its objective better citizenship and
community pride.
That nine of the eleven members
of the club are graduates of the
Hertford colored school is significant.
Not a very high- percentage of our
Negroes pursu their- education to
graduation, and few probably of
those who have finished the course at
the Hertford High School have re
mained at home. But among these
there is this group of young men
who have banded themselves togeth
er in an organization of this charac
ter. The kind of training which devel
ops this type of citizen is the,, kind
of training our young people, both
white and colored, need.
With a little encouragement and
help from the citizens of the town,
this young Negro organization may
exert an influence on other young
men of their race which will be of
inestimable value.
THE LAST ONE!
A little boy held fast to his moth
er's hand and watched the laying of
the cornerstone of the Hertford Bap
tist Church on a bright spring day a
long long time ago, eighty-two
years, to be exact.
Of all the company present on
that occasion, William Mardre, who
stood that day at his mother's side,
is the only one left to attend the
eighty-second anniversary of the
church which will be observed next
Sunday.;,., , ' vj, V... 'J y,

With so many stores in Hertford
making improvements and dressing
up, the town is beginning to look
prosperous. It has often been said
that the stores in Hertford were bet
ter looking stores than are found
generally in much larger towns.
The new department at Blanchard's
on the second floor looks like a city
place.
W. M. Morgan Is making over his
store almost entirely, and it is going
to be a fine looking place when it is
finished.
Simon's Store of Values was re
cently remodeled, and he is still
making improvements, just now put
ting ia some new lighting eiiects.
There isn't an unattractive looking
place in the business district, and
there isn't a single vacant store in
the Town of Hertford, and hasn't
been for months
I wish I were a little rock, a settin'
on a hill,
A-doin' nothin' all day long but just
a-settin' still!
I wouldn't eat, I wouldn't think, 1
wouldn't even wash!
I would set and set a thousand years,
and res myself by goshJ .
