(By W. BRODIE JONES)
Upon the threshhold of another year,
we greet you! -, .
Would it not bo wis to consider
some of the problems to which we
must address our energies during
1920? -
To the public we. pledge our best
efforts to be a vital factor in co-op-,
orating with all forces of law and
order in upholding the Government
as the beat constituted authority de
vised by the mind of man and ennobled
bv the spirit of freedom, liberty and
justice. ,
We vill in our county, and 1 this is
thtt matter vitally interesting for its
effect upon our welfare and the sane.
,afe, secure development of citizen
ship, iiisist upon the enforcement ox
the prohibition law and be of all aid
possible in bringing into Court opera
tives of any and every moonshine still
within the bound's of the county. We
mil assist in ali drives for relief of
those actually in need. ...
Jr. our town,, we must complete a
modern hotel, build a modern school
upon the academy property, extend
the biihulithic street around the Court
House, broaden and. straighten south
main and Ridgeway streets, extend the
corporate limits to embrace those cit
izens who daily receive the benefits of
the town, organize a definite force to
boost and present to the public tn
claims of Warren and Warrenton for
their citizenship.
These are a few of the issues with
which we are faced and toward the
fcceonv'iiidirnent of which we direct
the attention of our citizenship. They
are dcties and as such should be
squarely met, intelligently discussed
and translated into service. ;
Energy is the price. "Lets go during-
1920! '

"I know a Man who thinks he's poor,
But he is rich indeed,
He has a chair, a friend who's sure,
And three good books to read!"

ARCOLA ITEMS
Christmas has pissed off unusually
pleasantly and quietly. The weather
has been all we could wish for and but
little sickness has been heard off.
"The Christmas Hat" given by tha
school children at the schoolhouse on
Tuesday night December 23rd was
splendid and $29.00 was realized that
night for the benefit of the school
library.
Christmas night there was a
Christmas tree and a "White Christ
mas" service held at the school build-
iner. a iree win cwiiecuuu vo
for the suffering Armenians and the
neat little. sum of $ 30.00 was raised.
In the past two years our Sunday
school has contributed over $200.00 to
these suffering people.
Quite a number of young people
are spending the holidays with their
people here. Among the number are
Miss Ethel King of Macon High
School, Miss Alma Scull of Louisburg
College, Miss Emma Duke, who has
been teaching at Aspen, Miss Arnie
Duke at Af ton, Miss Hattie King at
Epworth, Miss Myrtle Duke at Sandy
Creel:, and Miss Lizzie Warren at
near Vaughan.
Messrs. Sam King and Dallas Capps
left today to attend Massey's Busi

From Injury
The death nf AT- TT TT Po
(died on last Friday as the results of
an accident on Christmas morning,
i brought a feeling of sorrow to this
j community.
j was n "Dago bomb. In some man-j
ner this bomb exploded with full force
against Mr. Pearce's throat, and tho
re made no outward evidence of its
deadly effect, it caused his death with
in a few hours at Rax hospital Ilal-
cigh, to which place hfcwas immfcd-
Svte?y:-Jar Hetl.
No one can tell how the acci(?ent oc
cured. Mr. and Mrs. Hicks were in
the house and the children couldn't
give any information. Mr. Poarce
never regained consciousness. Tha
children thought he was "pranking"
when he fell to the ground and twisted
himself in pain.
He was engaged to be married in a
short while, and his untimely death is
deplored! not only by the young lady,
but by his sisters, and friends.
He was just twenty-two years of
age, and was industrious and obliging.
The Record joins many friends in
deep sympathy.
Many Holiday So
cial Affairs Enjoy'd
A culminating joy of a quiet and
happy Christmas day among the
young people of the town was cele
brated in the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Howard F. Jones the night of the 25th
when in the midst of over fifty happy
hearts of a social atmosphere of mer
ry makers presents from a large
Christmas tree were distributed by
Mr. R. B. Boyd as Santa Claus in
civilian clothes.
The tree electrically lighted with
Christmas bulbs and tastefully dec
orated bore testimony to the faithful,
diligent work of the boys and girls
who sponsored the event. Not a per
son was omitted and the gift cap fitted
snugly many many characteristics of
the happy young people present.
Laughter, the tonic of mirth, was
abundant. Who could fai' to smile
as burlesque gifts brought forth
strickingly the pet hobby of a social
group? Would that we might name
the gifts and record the speeches ot
presentation voiced by Santa but in
the aftermath of logic it might seem
hard. For that hour, , however, dig
nity was fastened outside and true
fun and the best of spirit made the
words spoken and the gifts received a
part of the joy of the night tue
knocks given to vanity were floated
upon the waves of laughter and good
cheer. A merry occasion it proved
for all. . ,
A social hour was much enjoyed af
ter the gifts had been distributed.
Candy and fruits were served as re
f roahments and at an early hour of
Uho 26th the last echo of laughter shed
benediction upon ; the enjoyxnent .

Prof. John Graham In Charge of
Work In Warren; Earnest Ap
peal for Enforcement of Pro
hibiten Made To Public.
To the Citizens of Warren County:
On January the 7th a speaker of
national reputation will address the
public in the interest of Enforcement
of Law. An unenforced law is a men
ace to society. It is the sworn duty
of officials, state and federal, to see
that the laws are obeyed and violators
arrested and brought to triaL It is
the duty of citizens to assist our law
officers in the execution of thsir
duties. It is notorious that our State
and Federal laws in reference to the
illicit manufacture of liquors and tho
sale of the same are constantly vio
lated in our county.
This state of affairs, if f allowed to
continue, will debauch our citizenship.
Therefore, let a full representative
body of citizens meet in the Coa t
House, January 7th at 11 o'clock and
take such action as may bo approver.
Let the ministers of the Gosrtl urge
a full attendance on the part of their
congregations upon this Rally of Lav
Abiding Citizens for the Enforcement
of Law in Warren county. Let the
young men who so gallantly risked
their lives to "make the World safe
for Democracy" again enlist in solid
phalanx to restore to Warren her
proud preeminence in North Carolina
as a law abiding county.
