Tarboro
I Smarting from a 41-7 defeat
suffered at the hands of Ahoskie
last Friday nfght, the Perquim
ans Indians will play the first
of their . home football games
here tonight, meeting the strong
team from Tarboro High. Coach
Perry's charges will be out to
mark up their first conference
win ot the season despite the
poor showing made in the game
last week. Tarboro so far this
season has played three' games,
won one, lost one and tied one.
The,(Perquimflns.-Ahpskie . game
was better than the score indi
cated. Ahoskie, fielding an ex
perienced team, got the jump on
Perquimans during the first five
minutes of the ball game and
ifrom there on held complete
control of the contest. The less
experienced Indians played hard
but were unable . to cope with
the stronger team.
Williams and Davis led the
Ahoskie attack, scoring two
touchdowns each while Wise and
Joy ner tallied lone TDs. Ross
kicked five extra points for the
winners.
Perquimans ground offensive
was fair but its passing -attack
was poor and accounted for one
of the Ahoskie TDs during the
second quarter when Davis in
tercepted : 'a'". ' Perquimans pass
raced 20 yards for the goal line.
Preston WinsloW scored Per-
Quimans ' lone touchdown m tne
final quarter when he raced
four yards for the goal.
played Ahoskie Jayvees with
the-game ending in a 6-6 tie.
Junior varsity games will be
held each Thursday afternoon
with the Perquimans team play
ing the school furnishing var
sity opposition on Friday.
Game time for the contest be
tween Perquimans and Tarboro
has been set for 8 o'clock and a
large number of fans are ex-
nected to turn : out to witness
the conference game.

Bogus Bill Turns
Up At Local Store .
A counterfeit $20 bill turned
up here Tuesday and some local
residents are wondering if there
is a connection between it and
the huge cache of bogus ! money
captured by FBI agents last
Friday at Jacksonville. ,
The bad bill found here was
accepted at the Hertford Hard
ware Store and discovered when
a deposit was made at Hertford
Banking Company. Employees
at the bank noted the paper
used in printing the bill was of
poor quality and contained no
silken threads found in genuine
money.
The bogus bill was a fair
imitation but close inspection
revealed the engraving failed to
come near the perfect lines
which mark U. S. currency.
Local officials notified the
FBI about the counterfeit bill
turning up here although there
is no clue on who passed the
bill nor how long it might have
been in circulation in this com
munity.
