PAGE 8 amiiiiiiiiin;:niiiiiiiiimiii;:rr:niniiii | THE TORCH A department conducted ft* The Warren County Memorial Library By MABEL DAVIS The Librarian ^ | I have never learned to face decisions with perfect equinimity. Even now I find Christmas shopping a bit disturbing, and the peace thai should fill my heart as we approach the day set apart in commemoration of the birth of the Prince u Peace in the little town of Bethlehem of Judea nearly 2000 years ago, is sometimes foreshadowed with a bit of care. There are moments, however, when my soui rises above such trifles, 'and the glorious vision of the shepherds becomes very real to me. That happened twice on Sunday. There were many others who shared that experience, I think?at the Baptist Church in the morrung during the rendition of the Christmas Cantata by the choir of that church, and again in the evening at the Methodist Church when the young people's organization under leadership of Mrs- Claud Bowers, in another beautiful song service, commemorated the Coming of our Lord. The young people's choir was trained by Mrs. H. M. Hardy, whose beautiful voice was heard in both programs. Historical Map of Old Granville County We are indebted to Mr. S. E- Allen, our capable Register of Deeds, for a photographic copy of Old Granville County made from the map drawn by J. E. Buck, Civil Engineer. Prior to 1768, or thereabout, Granville county embraced what :s now Warren, Franklin, Vance, and Granville. About that time the inhabitants of the eastern section of the county demanded a more convenient county-seat, and Bute county was created to supply that demand. Similar demands caused another division in 1779- Bute was found to be too large for the convenience of the inhabitants, whicn together with the disrepute into which the Earl of Bute had fallen, brought about two new countiesWarren and Franklin, both named for American patriots. The map carries miniature pictures of many of the old residences of this section, of the eite of Bute Court House, of St. John's Church, of Williamsborough, and many other places of interest. It will be framed and hung in a convenient place in the library where it will be studied with interest by many visitors to the library. Thanks Four new books, the gift rf friends, have been received during the week. We are indebted to Mrs. W. L- Long, Raleigh, for "The Christ of the Mount," by Stanley Jones, given in memory of Mrs. George Alston, and "Practical Prayer," by Hugh Redwood, given in memory of Mr. John W. Arrington. Other gifts include "Fifty Acres," poems by T or? HT7 \X7i 1 - AHT1 axil X I.ai OUii, ptovuvvu WJ ?I ? Ham Polk, and Ernest Newman's "Stories of the Great Operas," from Miss Rowe Jones. Another Christmas gift came in the form of a check for $5.00 from a lady who is spending the holidays at her home at Warren Plains- This gift added to the amount contributed by Warren Plains gives that place a total of $22.00, which, I believe, is the largest sum raised for the library in any rural community. Norlina Y. W. A. Holds Meeting "Hie Marjorie Spence Y. W. A. of the Norlina Baptist Church met or Wednesday evening, December 14, with Miss Mollie Ann Terrell. The home was beautifully decorated in keeping with the Christmas season, with blue lights, a star, holly, mistletoe and lighted candles being used.
