FRIDAY, APRIL 23, 1937
THE SINGING CLASS. IS HERE .
Somebody has said we wouldn't
know it was spring; if the orphans
didnt come. They return just as
regularly as the robins do.
Nobody remembers when the con
cert of the Oxford Orphanage Sing
ing Class was not held in Perqui
mans every spring. Many, many
different classes have come and
gone and the clever little boys and
girls who entertained us years ago
have grown up and gone out to
make their way in the world. But
always there are more little children
crowding into the haven offered the
homeless children in the orphanage
a take the places of those going
out. Always there are bright and
attractive youngsters to entertain,
and always and always there, is the
need of more money to take care of
the children.
Time was when there were few
public entertainments. There . were
no picture shows, only now and then
a show of any kind came to town.
The coining of the Singing Class
was an event then and the auditor
ium where they held their entertain
ment was. crowded.
Times have changed. There are
tnany things to divert But the en
tertainment, of the Singing Class is
always good. They are clever little
folks, well trained, and their enter
tainment is. not only amusing but it
is wholesome.
The Singing Class from the Ox
ford Orphanage is giving an enter
tainment in , Hertford tonight at 8
o'clock.. Go if you can and see if
you dont like their show. But if
it happen that you cannot go, buy
a ticket and pass it on to some one
who ean go. . There are always
children who haven't a ticket.
Help the cause by buying the tic
ket, and if possible see that the
Singing Class has the inspiration
of a good house.

RECORDER'S
COURT
GOOD NEWS
It has, been said that there are
two classes of people who know
nothing of the tragedy of having a
member of the family go to the
hospital, the very rich and the very
poor.
The saying is certainly true of the
very rich. In some eases it may also
be true of the very poor. It may
not, however, be true with respect to
this class always.
It is, no doubt, true that to many
of the middle class a hospital bill
may be a tragedy. Often the entire
savings of a family are wiped out
by the expenses incident to hospitali
zation when there is an accident or a
long and serious illness.
One individual in North Carolina
enters a hospital every two minutes.
That a way is provided to relieve
to a great extent the burden of hos
pital bills when they come, through
membership in (e Hospital. Saving
Association of North' Carolina, is
good news for North Carolinians.

Twenty-three' years ago this month I:re
urned'to Perquimaris County to serve the
people of the Albemarle section.. Through'all
the ups and downs during this time I have
built up a furniture business equal to the best
in North Carolina. .; I take this opportunity to
thank all of my friends for their loyal support.
I will offer to anyone $100 in cash to show
me and prove that any town the size of Hert
ford has as large stock of first class furniture
for as low a price as I am offering. Qualify for
this money and I will pay you if you can prove
that I am wrong.
