The people of Perquimans respond ed very generously to the emergency call made in the early fall for the .special flood relief work of the Red .Cross, and the sum of a hundred and .fifty- dollars 'was rised.- The districts outside , of Hertford will be worked through the home de- - monstration clubs of the county, with Miss Gladys Hamrick, home demon stration asenjt, cooperating.
