Revelations LET'S GO! With the Mayor asking the coope ration of the women of the Hertford Woman's Club in beautifying the town, we ought to get somewhere. Mayor Silas M. Whedbee is in terested in improving the appearance of the town which has so many nat ural advantages. Something of a horticulturist himself, the Mayor is particularly interested in planting on the streets those decorative shrubs which thrive so well in our climate Miss Mae Wood Winslow, who des pite other wide interests, also gives a good deal of attention to the grow ing of flowers, shrubs and trees, and whose name at the head of any com mittee insures action, has been nam ed chairman of a committee from the club to. work with the Mayor. They laid out the town on the lov eliest spot which could be found, a hundred and seventy-five years ago. That the people who inherited this advantage haven't in the past been aware of the possibilities or shown much appreciation is to be deplored, As a matter of fact, a small group of women representing the woman's club have in recent years sought to make some improvements. As a rule the men haven't taken any stock in the idea of making improvements for beauty's sake. To his credit be it said, however, that former Mayor E. L. Reed did take a good step forward along this line when he provided dog wood trees and planted them during his term of office, at the request of the women of the Woman's Club. So something has been done. There is yet a great deal which may be done. With the Mayor taking the in itiative in the matter, the women must rally to his aid.

GRAPE HULLS AGAIN The Town Council didn't take any action as to the grape hull situation on Monday night. j The Mayor and commissioners are) conscientious in their attitude that to enforce an ordinance against throw ing grape hulls on the sidewalks would not be to the best interest of the town, and that such action might be construed as dicourtesous to the visitors who enjoy eating grapes or to the men who sell them. In the humble opinion of the edi tor of the Perquimans Weekly, the Mayor and commissioners are mis- ' taken. The Town of Hertford is situated in the midst of a grape-growing sec tion. The most delicious grapes are grown in Perquimans in great quan tities. It has been the custom for many years lor growers to Dringi grapes to town on Saturdays for j sale, retailing them down town in small quantities, and folks stand about on the sidewalks eating the fruit and carelessly throw the hulls on the sidewalk. To reiterate what has been said, and said over and over again, in these columns, grape hulls on the sidewalks not only make an unsight ly mess, they are dangerous to the pedestrian. Serious injury may re sult from a fall caused by slipping on a grape hull. The members of the town council Beem to have confused the matter in that they do not see how action could be taken to keep the hulls off of the sidewalks without stopping grapes from being bought and eaten. Far be it from one who likes the delicious fruit quite as well as does the thoughtless person who throws the hulls on the sidewalk to de prive any one of the pleasure of eat ing grapes, or to deprive the man who sells the grapes of his small returns. Even the person who does not himself like grapes would not take this attitude. The - editor of the Perquimans Weekly still believes that grape hulls ; should - not be thrown on the side walks, and that to continue to allow the situation to exist as it now exists f may defeat the aim ; of the , town council to show courtesy to our visi tors, - It is not unthinkable -that visi- h tors and 'shoppers in Hertford on Sat- t urdays during the fall season may re ceive a distinctly opposite impression.
