That Justice May Ever Have A Champion; That Evil Shall Not Flourish Unchallenged.
LET US HEAR THE CONCLUSION OF THE WHOLE MATTER, FEAR GOD AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS FOR THIS, IS THE WHOLE DUTY OF MAN" Eccles. 12:13
Text this week suggested by the Rev. M. Y. Self. The quotation for next issue will be supplied by the Rev. J. C. Cr osby.

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
We desire to enter into the homes of our readers in the true
Chirstmas spirit; the spirit of thankful hearts for the greatest
Gift to mankind.
If we could do so we would make this the paramount thought
in all homes the thought that we celebrate the birth of Him
who came to save us from our sins.
Our 'thoughts should first be towards the unselfish example
and the sacrifice of Him who came to earth that we might go to
Heaven. For there is no other Name given under whereby men
may be saved. "And greater love hath no man than this that
he lay down his life for his friend."
The true Christmas spirit, therefore, is that of 'worship; of
praise, of thanksgiving. We should, therefore, in meekness and
humility "Praise God from whom all blessings flow" for the gift
of His Son for the redemption of mankind.
Let this be our Christmas thought and not the feasting and
frolicking we are so prone to engage in, and in all humility let us
ask Divine guidance for the coming year that we may journey
onward in love and charity with our neighbors doing God's will
and bearing each other's burdens.
In doing this, the year to come will be bright With good
deeds and our hearts will rejoice because of the good that we
may do as the days are going by.
A Happy, joyous Christmas to all our Readers and to all
mankind.
OUR CREED.
Love to God and to our fellowman.
Written for my Philathea Class.
We must prove our creed
By each daily deed.
Our loyalty prove
To our God of love.
Do the best we can
For our fellowman.
For our neighbor dear,
Be he far or near,
Who needs our care,
We must gladly share
The gifts of life.
To win the strife
To overcome wrong
Be patient and strong.
Toconquer the world,
Christ's banner unfurled
Our faith, we must prove.
Our slogan be love
Aye, by word and deed
We must prove our creed.
V. L. PENDLETON.
It is the general custom among the weekly newspapers of
the State to observe the Christmas holidays. The employees and
the editor needs and appreciates the opportunity to "get his
breath" so to speak.
Ws .will appear again the first week in January and in the
mean time we wish for all of our readers "A Merry Christmas
and Happy New Year."
The atmosphere of Christmas has been heightened considera
bly by the window displays of the town. They are artistic. They
show that Warrenton merchants are enterprising. They are a
distinct boost to civic pride. Tell the merchants about it!
We appreciate the very liberal advertising patronage given
us in this Christmas edition, and as a testimonial of that patron
age we are giving our advertisers the best work possible and in
two colors.
We feet that this is unusual enterprise in a weekly paper
and we give it as an appreciation of your support. .,
May your Christmas patronage be highly satisfactory, and
may we have the pleasure of continued business relations with
you to our mutual profit throughout the coming year!
THE ANNUAL STATEMENT OF WARREN.
We are presenting our readers and the citizens of this county
a statement of receipts and disbursements of the tax funds as
handled by the County Board of Commissioners, and a statement
of fees, forfeitures and fines and trust funds handled by the
Clerk of the Superior Court.
Peanut Coop. Assn.
Wins In Case Before
Judge John H. Kerr
Judge John H. Kerr granted the
Peanut Growers Exchange injunction
against C. T. Harrell of Hertford
County in a hearing in the Court
House here on Saturday morning.
L. L. Levy of San Francisco, gen
eral counsel for the cooperative move
ment, plead for a court order which
would keep the defendant from de
livering peanuts to commission houses.
He expressed himself as being much
gratified at the find of Judge Kerr
and said that it was a pleasure to try
a case before a Judge so thoroughly
cognizant of the general principles
underlying the legality of coopera
tive selling.
Other counsel for the Peanut Grow
ers Exchange included Judge Francis
D. Winston of Windsor and E. Frank
Story of Franklin, Va.
The defendant Harrell . was repre
sented by J. W. Davenport of Wind-j
sor and E. R. Tyler of Roxobel. The
case was tried within two and a nail
hours. !
These gentlemen have complied with the law
they have
an account
taken the tax payer into their confidence and given
of their stewardship.
The law is explicit on this point and says that "A detailed
statement of all receipts and from what sources and a detailed
statement of all disbursements, and to whom paid SHALL BE
MADE" by all pubic officals entrusted with the receipts and ex
penditures of public funds.
This is a wise law, for a failure to do so creates suspicion,
when in fact the accounts may be correct. But the folks don't
.know it, and soon there is the cry of fraud.
ALL TIME TELEPHONE SERVICE.
The Home Telephone and Telegraph Co., in the peak of high
prices raised the cost of telephone service to its patrons of the
Warrenton exchange with the distinct promise and condition that
the service would be much improved and that we should have as
a right, continuous service.
- The Telephone Company has not lived upto its promise.
It is a hardship to town and country citizens when they can
not get prompt service over the telephone lines night and day;
it is a hardship that this service is not continuous, and it is a
condition that the Telephone Company can and should remedy
promptly.
Whether a man in New York or a citizen of Henderson de
sires to converse with a citizen of Warrenton who is a subscriber
to the Company's service it should not be denied him upon the
pretext that "The office is closed, as it is a small town." We are
not paying small town prices.
We are not quarreling with the Telephone Company, but are
simply giving expression to the public demand here, and giving
that expression because it is the duty of the Company to give the
promised service.
We are again calling attention to the demand of our citizens,
and if it be necessary we can show that demand by official action
of the town!
THE LAST WORD FOR 1922
As we close the forms at 4 o'clock this morning and bring to
a close the 1922 volume of The Warren Record, let us
EXTEND: Appreciation for the patronage of the past year.
HOPE: That we have fought clean for the things we deemed
for the best inters : s of all the people. Let us hope further that
we have been acturated by right, as we have seen it, instead of
by expediency.
PRAY: For courage to speak the truth that justice may
ever have a champion and that wrong shall not flourish unchallenged."

THE FLAPPER
God bless her forever, wherever she goes,
From the crown of her head to the tips of her toes!,
Dont think she is fast because you can see
The- dip of her breast and the curve of her knee.
God fashioned her perfect, out of His thought;
Dame Fashion decreed that the skirts should be short;
"lis your passion and fashion that makes her seem wrong;
Though her heart is as pure as the lark's morning song.
As queen of some home, she is worthy to reign,
Man's partner in joy, his helper, in pain.
Remember, Dear Reader, whoever you are,
She is as good as you are and, perhaps, better by far.
God bless her forever, wherever she goes,
From the crown of her head to the tips of her toes!
