End Of His Sentence
Brought No Freedom
A Virginia man who completed
an 18-month sentence and was
released Monday from the N.C.
Department of Correction Unit
4270 here has been housed this
week in the Warren County Jail
awaiting an extradition hearing
today (Wednesday) in Warren
County District Court.
Ricky Taylor, 30, of Chesa
peake, Va., had completed an
18-month sentence following con
viction for assault on an officer,
escaping from jail and larceny.
Because a fugitive warrant for
an arson charge has remained
outstanding, Chief Deputy Bobby
D. Bolton said Tuesday, Taylor
has been held without bond in the
Warren County Jail.
The arson charge was made
following the investigation of a
residential fire that occurred on
Jan. 11, 1987 in Chesapeake, Va.
Extensive damage was done to
the structure and unconfirmed
reports indicate that persons
were inside the residence at the
time of the blaze.

Letter To
The Editor
Put God First
To The Editor:
This is a poem that I feel I want
to share. It has been an inspira
tion in my life and I hope it will
bring light to others. Always put
God first, and don't stop praying.
The church of today is standing
In a very dangerous site;
The leaders are leading the
people
So far from the light.
They led them to believe
That they cannot help but sin;
They'll get with the members
and sin
Then tell them they're going in.
And when the old church is
missing
And where it's gone no one can
tell;
Just reflect back upon your
mind
The church and leaders are
going to hell.

Joyriding Brings $4,000 Cart Damages ;
Joyriding on the green at the
Warrenton Golf Gub, Inc. is
believed to have resulted in about
$4,000 in damages to four of the
club's golf carts last week.
Four golf carts were found
wrecked last Friday morning
after being removed from the
open shed in which they were
kept.
One of the carts had been taken
off the club's property and aban
doned in a wooded area nearby.
A fifth cart was found still safe
in its shed, but club officials
believe that it had also been
taken for an unauthorized ride.
Although an official damage
aaMMment has not been made,
three of the golf carts, on which
the chassis has been left twisted,
the front ends bent and wheels
knocked off, are believed to be a
total loss.
Damage on two of the carts is
confined to the fenders of the
vehicles. The unofficial damage
estimate for the carts has been
estimated at $4,000.
According to Owen Robertson,
secretary /treasurer of the War
renton Golf Club, Inc., there have-;
been no accusations and no action
has been taken.
A similar incident occurred at. .
the club about one month ago,'.
Robertson said, when two of the .
carts had been removed and run . .
together, resulting in $800 in'
damages.
