Bigger And Better
VIII Publ;shed Eisht-Page Pap
er Containing Many New
Features

|
With this issue The Herald
comes to its readers double the
size of heretofore. Its pages
are filled with local news and
many special features, making
| it, we believe, equal to the bet
ter weeklies in this part of
the country. This condition is
not brought about by any special
effort on our part to promote a
special edition, but is in keeping
with our efforts to give the pub
lie its moneys worth, both the
reader and advertiser is given
just due in the matter of space,
hence the increase this week.
Believing that the time of busi-
ness improvement is at hand,
that our merchants and manu-
facturers are to have a revival
of business and prosperity, The
Herald takes the lead in showing
the way to increase energy and
effort in order to bring these
good things to Roanoke Rapids
and this part of North Carolina.
We believe this town is entitled
to a larger share of the business
prosperity that seems to be
knocking at our door.
Some of the features, The
Herald will carry in the future
include te serial story, THE
LIGHT OF WESTERN STARS
by Zane Grey. This story alone
is worth the price of the sub
scription and we feel that it will
compensate for our efforts in
producing the larger newspaper.
The first installment will ap-
pear in next weeks issue. Be
sure and read the first chapter.
In this issue you will find the
weekly review of the news writ
ten by Edward w. Pickard, one
Of the leading correspondents of
this country. There is also a
fashion article for the women,
pictures of late news events,
some good comics, a column for
auto owners and a review of the
Sunday School Lesson. These
features will appear each week
together with the late State and
National News.
The Herald will continue to
give all of the live local news
and such features as it has con-
tanned in the past. We believe
that our subscribers will appre-
ciate these articles and see that
their subscriptions are paid.
Advertisers will at once recog-
nize the increased value of The
Herald as an advertising medi-
um. In addition to these fea-
lures we now have an up to date
advertising Cut and Copy Ser
vice for the use of our advertis-
ers.
Your home paper is feeling
fine to day-thank you.

CLEANUP WEEK
SEPTEMBER 3 TO 10

On September 10 Roanoke
Rapids s-Rosemary and the rest of
Halifax County will be in a much
more sanitary and healthful con-
dition than at present. On that
date the city wagons will be seen
hauling away great loads of
trash and rubbish, tin cans and
all filth producers. 1t marks the
close of the final Clean Up Week
in North Carolina. This week
will be devoted to cleaning up
and destroying every worthless
commodity capable of holding
water in which mosquitoes can
breed. 1t is the final effort of
this summer to put our county
at the top of the list in health
and cleanliness.
In calling on citizens of Hall
fax County to observe this final
clean up week, DR.. E. w. Larkin,
County Health Officer, makes
the following statement:
Next week will be the final
clean up week for this year, and
we want to make it the best ever
known. We want to make it a
real CLEANUP of everything
that is not to be used this win
ter.
All tin cans, boxes, buckets,
kegs, barrels, old auto tires,
Glassware, old stoves, etc. in
fact everything that has been
or can hold water and breed mos
quitoes. Our big fight is against
filth, flies and mosquitoes, but
while the cleaning is being done,
make a good job of it and do
away with all trash, old mat
tresses- in fact everything that
is not of enough value to store
away and keep. We want a
clean town free from so many
flies and mosquitoes, that is a
law and must be enforced, if
necessary, for the public good,
but we think civic pride will be
jail that is necessary for the town
and suburbs to be thoroughly
cleaned and sanitary. All trash
rubbish, tinware and everything
must be put in one place, at a
point where auto truck or wagon
can get it. Begin early and be
ready when the truck comes to
move the trash. A house te
house inspection will be made
after clean up week, and if any
vessels are found that can breeC
mosquitoes, the householder will
have to have them hauled of
and pay for hauling. Begin OF
Monday and have all rubbish OF
premises in one pile before the
trucks start around, and be SURE
1.-THE trucks can reach the rubbish
otherwise the town will not dt
the hauling free of charge. II
he residential section the rubbish
lshould be put on at curb, in bust
mess section should be put in pill,
back OF house 50 trucks can ge
same easily. Thanking you fol
your co-cperation and help"

BY
CHURCH FRIENDS

Last Monday afternoon Mrs. w. d.
Blaine was surprised at her home by
visit from committee from the
ladies of the NJ. Z. church who present
ed her with set of silver salad forks
as an evidence of the appreciation of
Mrs. Blaine's splendid work as the
director of the church choir. The
church music has been such q large
and helpful part of the church service
under Mrs. Blaine s able direction that
her friends felt that this small token
but family expressed the appreciation
that was due her.
In the evening, following the regular
Christmas program by the Sunday
school at the church, Miss Genevieve
Dickson, the church organist, was
called to the platform, and M. j.
Mayes in a few very happy and com
plmentary remarks, presented her
with gold brooch with ruby setting,
with card bearing the inscription
"From your loving church friends. !"
Miss Genevieve has served as the or.
ganist in this church for many years,
and Mr.. Mayes explained to her that
the little gift was but a slight token
of the high esteem in which she is

his house enjoyed Immediately preced-
ing Christmas. "Our trade was less
spasmodic and more sustained than
heretofore, and I believe that condi-
tion was general throughout the city,
said Mr.. Napier. We had great deal
of trade from Edwards, Gilman and
other Eagle county points and also
from Pitkin county, almost up to
Aspen. I attribute this very largely
to the remarkably fine autumn wealth
er we enjoyed this year enabling the
farmers to gather their crops with a
minimum of loss and without worry,
and then making it easy for them to
get into the ear and drive to Glen
wood and do their Christmas shop
ping, which was largely planned be-
fore they left home. If the weather
had been disagreeable or threatening
during the past few weeks we would
have lost much of this trade. Taken
altogether the result was most salts
factory, and I feel sure that the fu-
ture trade outlook for Glenwood is
very hopeful-much better, in fact,
than it has been for many years."
The ,tcDonald-switzer Hardware
company also expressed satisfaction
at their holiday trade, declaring that
it was better than they had anticipat-
ed. They feel more than hopeful for
the future for Glenwood in a CONNER
cial way.
G. G. Graham said he was not es-
pecially rushed, but enjoyed a nice,
steady and satisfactory trade. He
was pleased that the people called for
practical and useful goods with which
to make gifts, and says this was
pleasing to him, for he had anticipated
this sort Of taste, and in putting in
his stock he had had not bought heav-
lily of the luxurious or impractical.
John R. Weir in dry goods and cloth
ing and E. Silver in gents clothing
and furnishings expressed themselves
as well satisfied with their Christmas
trade, which they also found had been
along very practical lines.

A cancer may be indicated by con-

in the upper abdomen particularly if
aggravated by the taking of food;-a
condition usually described as "dys-

produce increasing and continued con-

appetite; particularly, a sudden aver

These may be, and often are, symp-
toms of something beside cancer; but
they are danger signals and you had

DESTROY THE
WEED IS MESSAGE
Campaign Being Made on
Cancer Which is Becoming
Altogether too Prevalent
Ii IS SOCIETY's ADVICE

Did you ever know successful
farmer who hesitated to get rid of tn.
vicious, spreading weeds that take roo.
in his fieldsf
Certainly not
And why not3
Because the farmer well knows that
the weeds are harder and Of more
rapid growth than his cultivated
plants; that if not removed before
they have had time to extend tAeir
roots, his crops robbed of their nour-
ishment, will wither and die, victims
of the invaders.
The weed of the titled field has
counterpart in the human body. It's
name is cancer. AS does the weed Of
the field, this outlaw growth starts in
small and inconspicuous way and in
the beginning gives slight warning Of
its presence.
Left to itself, cancer eventually be-
comes distributed throughout the body
and lives at the body's expense. If
not removed in time, it overgrows the
normal healthy life in its vicinity and
causes the death Of its victim-as the
weed destroys the farmers valuable
crops.
What is to be done about iti
Treat cancer as the farmer treats
the weeds. He deals with them
promptly. To deal with them success
fully, he must recognize the weeds in
their earliest state. To certainly elm.
mate cancer it is necessary to recog.
nize it on its first appearance.
1t therefore becomes important to
know the symptoms of cancer that the
treatment may be given in time,
What is canceri you ask.
A cancer may be:
/. An obstinate sore upon the sur
face Of the body, particularly If it
is about the mouth, tongue or
lips.

feet, which becomes irritated or

XMAS GUN PLAY
PUTS BEBB IN BAD

A surplus of Christmas cheer proved
the undoing of Charley Bebb, proprie-
tor of the Hole-in-the- restaurant
on River Front, who recently took
unto himself a wife and who was
taking respite from kitchen activi-
ties while honeymooning and moon
shining during the holiday season, ac-
cording to reports that reach this
office. aelT
Bebb and his newly acquired wife
pulled off a rough house at their
apartments in the King block, and
after other tenants had been driven
from the building, or had become dis
gusted with the disturbance, Bebb
thought to stimulate the vibrations Of
the midnight atmosphere by shot
from his six-gun.
For this playful prank, constituting
n breach of a city ordinance and an
offense against society, Bebb was on
Wednesday placed under arrest by
City Marshal Thompson and taken to
the county Jail, later being arraigned
before Justice Rice on charge of dis
turbance, to which charge he entered
a plea of guilty, and received sem
tence of $40 and costs, which he paid,
and then left town on the first train,
but not until he had transferred his
restaurant to j. s. Woody who held
quite an account against him for gro
ceries furnished the restaurant during
the past few weeks.
Until recently Bebb was doing q
fine business and enjoying very sat-
isfactory degree Of prosperity, but ap-
parently the old adage about wine,
woman and song played a prominent
part in his undoing.
When Bebb made his hurried exit

the appreciation Of her friends for her
faithfulness and devotion to her work,
in which she has found mucn pleasure,
but which has also at times meant
much sacrifice on her part. Both Mrs.
Blaine and Miss Dickson were vory
much pleased with these tokens Of
esteem, and especially with the cordial
holiday spirit which prompted their
friends in thus remembering them at
the Christmas time.
