and so, LET'S HAVE EN-.

Scotland Neck, the metropolis Of
Halifax county, situated in the heart
of the famous Spanish peanut belt,
from an agricultural standpoint is
the solidest town in Eastern Caro-
lima. There have been fewer COM
mercial failures in this town than
any other place Of like size in North
Carolina. There is more wealth per
capita here than any town in this
country. These facts alone convince
the progressive citizenry Of this
thriving little city that it can we'll
afford every modern convenience
and necessity which go to make a
city out of a town.
With waterworks and paved
streets there is not a town in the
State that could out-beautify it.
The town is laid off beautifully. Its
wide shady streets cause admiration
from all who come here. With
good drainage facilities, it will be
healthy.
Think Of it, Mr.. Citizen. DOM
YOU deserve sanitation. convenience
and other public improvements tia
your brother and friends are favor
ed with in another city? Does no
your local pride shame itself wae,
in other places no larger than you
own home town you see these in
provements? IF any town IN Morris
Carolina under ten thousand inhabi
tants can afford these things-Scot
land Neck CAN.
