THE COPYn The Battle of September 29 mm 1 1 Hll J3f fclBlSp Jfafiff '. . fit .- WARREN SALES OVER $173, 000; MACON TEAM WINS Postmistress Urges Continued Saving By Public; State Stand ing of County Not Yet Learn? ed But Believed To Be High. The final sale reports for War Sav ings Stamps during 1918 as given out today by the Warrenton postoffice for Warren county is $173,622.92.. We are pleased in this connection to pub lish the following figures complied by Postmistress N. Mcl. Moore: Warrenton, N. C, March 10, 1919. The following information concern ing the sale of W. S. S. in the contest ; entered into by the Post offices of Warren County is given through the courtesy of the Warren Record. This contest began with the drive June 1st and endered December 31, 1918. Few of the postmasters showed any lack of zeal; the greater number co operated cheerfully in this period of war time necessity. The effort on the part of the govern ment to obtain help and to give help will be attended by far reaching re sults. To many the possession of a? $5.00 stamp means the beginning of wealth. Although many are giving the 10 days notice which leads to re deeming the stamps, many others who need the cash quite as badly are do ing without it. "Some other way" can usually be devised. But we seem to be allowing the war-taught thrift tp disintegrate as far as buying the new issue of stamps. To buy them one at a time is a won derfully convenient means of provid ing for a time of special need. intelligent saving means intelligent spending. Thrift Stamps and War Saving Stamps are effective counter acting agents against useless expendi tures. Every office is supplied with them and every postmaster eager to sell. With the return of reduced post age July 1st, 1919, the Department will need more than heretofore the in come from the sale of the War Sav ing Stamps. At least let those v.ho pledged to buy last yeara nd "did not keep the pledge, make arrangements to redeem these obligations in stamps of the 1919 issue. There are 283 out standing amounting to $6560.73 'in the Warrenton office. Our boys Have st ol. : living wall, for the protection of home and honor, and are glad to have done it notwith standing the price it has cost. Can we not stand behind them with the Price of a stamp?

Sunday, March 9th. Their many fiends wish them much happiness and Recess as they begin their journey together. It is a pleasure for the Warren Record to gain possesion of the f ol-: lowing letter. ... Lieut. Limer was be loved by the men of the home organi sation, and by. a. large host of friends in ..Warren. His death closed the earthly career of a brave soldier, a sincere friend and a christian gentle man. Lieut. Limer was a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. William Limer of, Afton. The letter is as follows: I will tell you all I can about the death of Lieut. Limer but I would much rather tell you personally about it all, for I know how hard it is to tell anything in a letter. Then, too, I write such a very poor letter. ' As you no doubt know, Arch , was killed on the 29th of Sept. He was then in command of the Company We started "Over the , top" just before sunrise; I was in .... .. . secend wave. We ran into the. Germans al most as soon as we started, and had some very heavy fighting from the start, but we never stopped. Many of the boys were killed right at the start, but we knew that the Hindeburg': line must be smashed; and never did my friend and commander falter, but kept on going forward. When we were right in the centre of the Hin denburg line we were told to halt to wait until our barrage again? lifted. I went up to where Arch was and we both knelt down together to wait. Arch was just asking me if my wave was intact, when a shell burst right beside us. A small piece just qut my s.hci:lder, but Airch was hit hard. He 1ST-LT ARCHIE LIMER T'tB.ms"w.7-wT-v w W ' i Killed In Action September 29th fell to the ground and I ran for the stretcher bearers. They lifted him on the stretcher and started to the rear but they hardly got started before he was dead. He did not live three min utes after he was hit: I am sure that he was knocked unconscious by the shell and never regained conscious ness. As soon as the battle was over he was given a Christian burial with full military honors. He was truly my friend and I can assure you I felt the loss very much. He was also beloved by every man in the Company, and every one of us felt the loss of a man and a soldier. State Speaker To Be Here Saturday The farmers of Warren county as well as the large number of business men interested in the Campaign for decreased acreage by a third and to hold all the staple on hand for thirty cents, will have the pleasure of hear ing the situation discussed Saturday morning at 11 o'clock in the Court House here by Mr. T. P. Parker, xf Raleigh, so wires the Cotton Associa tion to this paper Thursday. It is expected that farmers and business men from all sections will attend and that the campaign over Warren will receive a big boost under the inspira tion and information contained in the speakers' message. .

Mr.. Jones has had models made and has been demonstrating1 the value of the little-invention on the truck of the 1 American Tobacco Co. since last Fall. It has given splendid results.

The Ford oil gage can be carried in the' vest pocket and attached to the Ford car by 'a ten year old boy in five minutes by removing the bottom pet cock on crank case and replace with the "Sosimple," as Mr. Jones desig nates the gage. We understand that the oil gage will be put upon the mar ket in a short time by Mr. Jones and that it will be old at $1.25 on your j "money-back" plan after ten days trial, if not satisfactory. It is the lit tle devices of this character sold in large ' quantities, at small profit that .bring large fortunes to successful in- ventors. News Items From Creek Community Spring is here!

MM LESS THAN HALF ARMEN-IAN-SYRIAN RELIEF FUND Raised By Warren; Time Ex tended Thru March To Guar antee Oversubscription of the County Quota of $1200. The country is far short of its Ar menian and Syrian Relief Drive quota of $1200.00, we learn today from Treasurer J., E. . Rooker. Less than half of the amount has been raised for these destitute people. The following letter from State Headquartrs gives an extension of time and it is expect ed the following gentlemen as town ship chairmen will make the canvass and place Warren's record beside that made by every previous . relief drive : Six Pound-r-J M. Coleman; River R. D. Fleming; Hawtree Coley Per kinson; Smith Creek Bob White; Nutbush J. A. Kimball; Sandy Creek Wm. Stewart; Shocco Jj W. Bur roughs; Fishing Creek D. L.

Joyner, of the Armenian-Syrian Relief Campaign, has Announced that the campaign will con tinue throughout the present month to give several counties in the , State opportunity to reach their quotas. Dr. Joyner realizes 'that conditions following the armistice tended to up set plans for the campaign, and that the people are slow to recognize the urgency of the appeal of the starv ing people of the Near East; but he is certain that when they, know just how desperate the situation in Ar menia is, how many lives aire in jeop- nrrlv tli will T-firrinH trv ti pall. cablegram: "The need of the people whom your committee is striving to serve is so grievous and appealing that the de partment desires. - to do' everything" within its power to cc-oper.te in re lieving the condition of these people as far as this may be possible." President Wilson has issued three proclamations urging the people of the United States to give liberally to this cause. He is willing to ask Amer ica to give because he knows, there is no other hope of saving the lives of the four millions of people who . re starving. Among these suffers are 400,000 helpless little children who have lost their parents either by star vation or at the hands of the Turkish murderers. North . Carolina . cannot afford to fail in doing her share in this worthy cause. ' New Officers Of The Masonic Lodge S. E. BURROUGHS, W. M. B. P. TERRELL, S. W. J. M. KING, J. W. J. E. ALLEN, Secty. J. G.
