' : -. In no small town in the "country axe there more up-to-date shops than those of Hertford, , and 'no merchants anywhere are more wide awake to their opportunity to do busi ness than these merchants "' in our own home town. The 'Hertford mer chants want the business and ' they understand exactly bow to- get it,. , With the definite turn in the af fairs of the country and the people already started on the road to pros perity once more, . the . merchants stocked goods this fall 'of a quality which they had not been able to sell here during the depression ' years. No longer is it necessary for Perqui mans folks to go to the larger towns to shop for the better grade articles which Hertford merchants found it hard to dispose of when the; farmers were receiving such low prices for their produce., v '"--"hu T Even 'the cotton pickers, who" are receiving higher prices for picking cotton than they have had in years, are buying better grade merchandise. They can afford to. . It is gratifying to note that our merchants are ready for this situa tion. Instead of berating the public for leaving home to shop, the Hert ford merchants are offering the peo ple what they want. Some of those folks who acquired the habit of going to the larger . towns, to shop when only a few of our people could afford to' pay the price for better grade,, goods, and who are not awake to' the situation as. it now exists, are: going to be chagrined when they -v find out that they have been paying more' in Nor folk or in Elizabeth' City vf or , the same grade article they .might have purchased at home. . - - Watch , the advertisements of your home ' town' merchant in the home newspaper, .

Street, drivers too often drive at such a high rate of speed as to endanger the lives of pedestrians. When a speeding , truck - coming into Hertford on Friday struck . and killed a dog on Church Street, a citi zen was7 heard to say, f When some ' child gets what Pups got this morn ing some notice will be taken by the authorities of the rate of. speed of .; motorists on Church Street."

Five generations are represented. This is very rare," , especially when the aunt is an own aunt.' Occasionally this may happen in the case of. half brothers or sisters. , . -, Mrs. Newbold was, the youngest, and is the ..last surviving member of a large family the.' prominent Mc Mullan . family,1 :f Hertford,. .? The great-grandfather of the new baby," who if living would not be a very old man today, was a son of one of the older members of the McMullan fam ily. Go tell Aunt Dinah.

And the old gander which is only' four, years her junior Is a lone some old bird.,. He hollered for two o. three days - after the old goose died, Mrs Chappell said.

Three of tho guests who engaged in a.scrap were hailed in court, as a re sult of which each had to pay a ten- dollar fine.
