Brunswick County Home Makes Good Maintenance Record. FARM LOAN BOARD MEETS Editor of the Warren Record, - Warrenton, North Carolina. Please publish the following: On Saturday, September jthe 8th the Farm Loan Board for Warren County will meet at the Court House at 10 o'clock a. m. People who wish to meet with this Board will please be present by 11 o' clock. F. B. NEWELL, Secretary-Treasurer Raleigh, Sept. 3rd A self-sustaining county" home is a rara avis, in North Carolina, but the county home of Brunswick county is this year demonstrating that the species is not extinct. Early in May the North Car olina Food Conservation Commission urged the boards of county commis sioners in the 100 counties in the State to utilize their county home farms to the utmost extent for the production of " staple food stuffs and feedstuffs. . No report was asked for but the clerk of the Brunswick county board has written to the commission that all . cleared land at the Bruns wick County Home was put into culti vation and that the county home there will be self-sustaining during this year. The county homes in the State hare an average of 150 acres of land eacn with an average of only 40 acres in cultivation a year ago. The food commission is of the opinion that a largely increased amout of food and feedstuffs. could be secured from these farms and the result in Brunswick County demonstrates the correctness of its surmise. No doubt many ether counties have almost, if not altogeth er equaled Brunswick's record.

Tobacco Bet ter Than Was Expected. The Tobacco market for the 1917 1918 season opened Monday morning with a very creditable offering. Quite a number of citizens were present some with tobacco, others as observers. All the warehouses were liberally patronized and the market was highly satisfactory. To say that tobacco sold well is to put it mildly. It was simply in the clouds! All the farmers with whom we talked were more than pleased. The tobacco offered gave indication of better quality than was expected both in weight and coloring. If high prices are maintained, and we see no reason why they shouldn't be, this county will be in a prosperous condition this fall. The different manufacturers were well represented and buyers were anx ious for the weed. Every inducement will be offered the farmers of Warren and adjoining counties to sell t their tobacco in Warrenton, by warehouse men, merchants and banks. In other words, Warrenton is anxious for the patronage of the farmers, and will do all things possible to merit that pat ronage. ' There was over twenty-two thous and pounds sold on the market here Monday. , FAREWELL EXER CISES TO CO. H. The Warren Guards left for their encampment in Greenville, South Car olina, at 8 o'clock last Thursday ev ening, and we miss the boys. The old town seems lonesome without them.

Price received the order to take his Company to Greenville, South Carolina, and on Thursday afternoon at 6 o'clock the Company assembled on the Court House Square prepara tory its departure. Addresses were delivered by Dr. P. J. Macon, Rev. T. J. Taylor, Attorney B. B. Williams, Judge John H. Kerr, and Mr. W. F. Horner. Comfort Bags were present ed to the men by the Red Cross. These bags contained toilet articles and many other things for comfort and pleasure. A large number of people from Halifax County -and various parts of Warren gathered in Warrenton to bid our soldier boys good bye. There were many sad hearts at the parting, but the sad ones, for most part, held back their tears until the boys were gone. a j o . i- - r 1. nAAii ociock tne company reassem- madelto "Stony Lawn" colored school. led the, ro" L calJe?'

"What a beautiful dog, Miss Ethel!" exclaimed her bashful admirer. "Is he affectionate ? " "Is he affectionate 1 " she asked archly. "Indeed he is! Here, Rruno! Come, good doggie, and show Charlie Smith how to kiss me." x WHAT'S A SUFFRAGETTE? A suffragette is a woman who tninks she has been "devoted" long enough. Not satisfied with the last word, she also wants the first. She isthe corset need to reduce the Government "waste." She is the woman who needs the "poll" for her vaulting ambition. A suffragette is a sting of beauty and a jawer forever. A woman who would rather break windows than clean them. A woman whose troubles are cer tainly not "little ones." A woman who spends more time air ing her views than viewing her heirs. A woman who will spare no "panes" to get her rights. A woman who would rather "rock" the country than the cradle. A female creature queer and quaint, Who longs to be just wha she ain't. The hen that would cackle and never set Is the woman known as a suffragete Wexjan't efface her; we can't forget her; W;i love her still the stiller the better. J J
