An article paying tribute to
newspaper carrier boys brought
back memories of a childhood in
Exeter to Frank R. Murdock, of
Shelton, Washington.
Mr. Murdock lived in Exeter
from 1&80 to 1887 and at that
time both the Exeter Times and
the Exeter Advocate were deli
vered in town by boys.
“When I was a boy, I was born
in Exetei1 in I818O, the paper I
think was called the Exeter
■Courier and I remember the boy
who brought the paper to our
faimily. We lived on the street
down towards the railroad depot.
A. McKnight was depot agent
and he ived near us. I most rem
ember the boy, I don’t know his
name, but the time I remember
mostly was Christmas day or
maybe the day before. When he
bought the paper mother liad him
in the house and gave ..him a pre
sent. That issue of the paper had
a piece of poetry in it about the
Courier news boy. I wish I could
remember it but I don’t. An
article from a Tacona paper
brings it back to me strongly.”
“I have a picture of our family
taken in Exeter by Mr, Senior.
It is still fine aftei* all these years
of travel in many lands and
places.
I started to go to school there.
I remember the school faintly.
It was across from the fairgroun
ds. We left. Exeter about 1887
’and moved to U. S. A. in Mich
igan. Would like to have a copy
of your paper.”

Tokyo, Japan,

To The Editor:
The request of possibily ob
taining a copy of the “Times
Advocate” each week was sub
mitted to my brother, Bill Mus
ser, and had eventually arrived
in your office through proper
channels.
The news is very interesting
and I certainly appreciate it to
the fullest extent.
Your articles act as a morale
booster one hundred per cent and
also gives an individual the feel
ing of being next door to home,
especially when one is several
miles away from home in times
like these.
Once again I want to thank
you and your staff for the ex
cellent work and effort which is
being practiced on each edition
for betterment of reading mat
erial for your subscribers.
I remain.

Said a minister to a beaten
alcoholic “Harry, in God’s name,
how did a man like you come
to this?" The answer came “well
may you ask that, question. I
had a good home. But I was a
young foot I knew what liquor
had done to many but I was sure
it could not happen.to me. I
could drink and let it alone, I
ought to have known better,
that no one can safely experi
ment on himself with alcohol.
One thing I completely overlook
ed that alcohol is a habit form
ing drug. I Was going to be a
moderate drinker, but before I
knew where I was the liabit had
me In Its grip. Oh sir, if I could
only start over again, I’d never
touch a drop of the infernal
stuff, in my young days I tho
