I Ijp Mi COUNTY OF WARREN, N. < TOWN EXPECTING GOOD CHRISTMAS School Boys And Girls And Other Relatives Arriving For The Holidays WEDDING DURING WEEK Warren county is ready for a happy Christmas as boys and giris are returning from the schools of the state to the firesides of their homes and as other relatives of Warren citizens make the annual trek from other climes to spend the holidays with loved ones. No dance has been advertised for Warrenton but it is expected that ?-?-*r?v\tt nf fVin TTAimr* nnATilr? mill troTfftl iiialiy ui hit juuiig pcupic tviu uiavvi to neighboring towns as in years past to trip the toe.

A number of Warrenton people are planning also to attend Kae wedding of Duke Jones and Miss Cassie Carty at Belhaven on Thursday of the same week. A diminishing game supply has not dampened the enthusiasm of huntsmen to any appreciable extent and many of these are planning to spend much of their spare time in the woods. Appropriate religious services, weddings, receptions, dances, hunting and family gatherings around the fireside and heavily laden tables promise to make the Yuletide season of 1934 a most pleasant one. SONG SERVICE A song service will be held at the Warrenton Baptist church on Christmas night at 7:30, it was announced yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. P. P. Haithcock and little daughter, and Mrs. Charlie Haithcock were visitors in Raleigh on Thursday. THROUGH CAPI By BESS BIN HEAD MEN?Chairmanships of important legislative committees are beginning to attract attention in the Capital City. These posts are particularly significant because of the fact that most legislative work is done in committee and action on the floor is more or less of a cutand-dryed affair. The attitude of a committee chairman has a vital relation to the chances of a bill becoming law. You can't tell who will be who in the House until the Speaker is elected but in the Senate it is a different story since Lieutenant Governor A. H. (Sandy) Graham will have the appointments again this year. You mignt not be far wrong in a guess that Senator U. L. Spence, of Moore county, and Senator Harriss Newman, of New Hanover, will head rw-rarerfni finance and appro U11V/ ?t v* v? priations committees, respectively, in the Upper House. Both have played important parts on these same committees in the Lower House and their views are not radically divergent from those of Mr. Graham and the administration. , ;*; > n mm FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2 . 4 Jp ^Hk JH k A ??

Farmers Repay More Than 99 Per Cent Crop Loans More than 99 1-4 percent of the $163,306.75 loaned to 781 farmers for production purposes in Granville, Warren and Vance counties early in 1934 by the Henderson Production Credit Corporation has already been paid back to the office here, W. B. s Gooding, secretary-treasurer of the corporation, announced today. The - remaining three-fourths of one percent outstanding consists mostly of small blances due from farmers who - have not yet made full disposition of their crops, it was said. Since crop yields and prices have been unusually good this year, 100 e percent collection on all loans is ex| pected by January 1,1935, it was said r by Mr. Gooding, who added that | such a record will establish a good n credit rating for both the Henderson Production Credit Association and its borrowers, thus assuring them of adequate facilities for obtaining - chpnn nroduction credit in the fu ture. Shortly after January 1 the association expects to begin taking applications for new loans for 1935. By putting in applications early, bor, row-ers may get them approved and have their money delivered any time desired, Mr. Gooding stated. Interest does not begin until the borrower has actually received the money. Arrangements are already under way for cutting out red tape in the filing of applications. A shorter and ~ simpler loan application will be used in 1935. Revisions are also being , made in the procedure that follows the making of a commitment to per^ mit the borrower to get a cash ad(Continued on page 8) 90, BUT FOX HUNTS Austin Allen, 90-year-old Cone federate veteran of Axtelle, was In town late yesterday afternoon relating to friends his adventures on a fox hunt yesterday.

The parity payments cannot ' | be made until the cards are delivered | to this office and checked for errors | and all tax payment warrants along with the master marketing card and 1 the allotment card forwarded to the 1 state office. I wish to caution tobacco growers j again about selling scrap tobacco. In case you sell scrap tobacco the . pounds sold must be entered on the allotment card by a. field agent. 1 Growers that have sold up to their : 70 per cent should not sell scrap ' u.nless they receive as much as six 1 cents per pound for the pounds- sold. Then if the price received for the scrap lowers the growers average ' below twenty one cents this will re- , duce the parity. I All growers that signed tobacco J contracts will receive the following parity: In case you averaged O'er twenty one cents per pound for ^bur 1 tobacco the parity will be figured as 1 follows: 70 per cent of the base ( pounds sold 12.5 per cent on 21 cent ' average; 72 per cent of the base 1 (Continued on page 8) ' J [School Masters Club Meets At Littleton Littleton, Dec. 20.?On Thursday evening December 13, the School I Masters' Club of Warren County ' met in its regular session at the -' Littleton High School.
