Of Thoughts
From HJere
There, Yonder
(By W. BRODIE JONES)
The meeting: Saturday as announced
by county agent Jesse Trevathan in
the columns of this issue, deserves the
attention of the citizens of Warren
who are interested in its material pros
erity, intehectual growth and progres
fcive development.
A county fair is an institution for
better understanding among the citi
zens of the county; an event educative
i,nd uplifting.
There is no reason why the county
shouldn't have a wonderfully success
ful fair its community fairs of the
past guarantee this.
Attend the meeting Saturday after
noon and get behind this county event
with the determination to make it a
grand success.
Oace again the opportunity of aid
ing the Salvation Army presents it
self. The organization loved for its real
service to all sorts and conditions of
man appeals to the general public for
funds to continue its work.
Its record .deserves public support
and we feel certain that the good peo-
pie of Warren will again contribute to
a most worthy purpose.
Its slogan is the creed it piactices
from day to day '.'A roan may be
down but he's never out."
Give in order that others with youi J
funds may help a brother!
He's an awful 'ladies' man.
I know it. Fve seen him with some i
awful ladies. Sun Dial.

A Freshman sent his girl at Mere

tion one evening. When he met her
that night she exclaimed joyously:
"Oh, Arnold, how lovely of you to
sencl me these beautiful roses. How
sweet they are and fresh! I do be
lieve there is a little dew on them yet"
Stradly stammered and forced the
reply: "W-v-ell, yes, there is;Jbut I'll
pay that tomorrow." Technician.
The Wild Cat Eighty first Division,
from Florida, and North and South
Carolina, was moving up to the front
line trenches. An engineer from an
other division stood by the roadside
trying to 'figure out the insignia on
their left shoulders. Unable to sand
the suspense any longer he called,
"Hey, buddy, what's that thing on
your arm?"
"That's a wild cat", shouted back a
mountaineer buck "and we're prowlin'
for Jerries tonight". '
A few days later the same prowling
buck was , on his way back and was
again asked about his zoo insignia.
"That's a wild cat," he murmured,
"but, personally, I'm a damn tame
pussy" Home Sector.

Max Gardner
Speaks at Littleton
(News and Observer)
Littleton, May 10 Speaking Jbefore
a large and . enthusiastic audience,
composed of some of the leading citi
zensimen and women of Warren
and Halifax counties. Lieutenant Gov
ernor O. Max Gardner delivered an
eloquent memorial address here today.
He made ,no reference to his candi
dacy for Governor but after the speceh
he had a conference with his political
followers in this section,
Mr. Gardner said that he thariked
God that he was the son of a Confed
erate soldier and that before this rem
nant of that wonderful army that beg
gars all description and word painting
to portray their superb sacrifices and
undying devotion to duty, he stated
that the Confedeate soldiers greatest
victory was not on the field but in the
salvation of a broken and gashed State
as it struggled to gain its feet and
stand alone and work out the problems
of government and civilization.
He then turned to the young mci.
and said; "Young men, this group of
immortals, whose feet are now resting

RESCUES HORSE AT GREAT RISKj
IN THRILLING FIRE SPECTACLE!
One of the thrilling scenes of "In
Old Kentucky" the First National
big special feature with Anita Stew-.
a$ starring, which will be shown at
the Opera IJpiise, Friday and Saturday
matinees' and nights is wjieft Miss
Stewart rushes into a burning barn o
save a thoroughbred racer from the
flames. A barn was purchased for
this purpose and was burned to the
ground.
Miss Stewart as Madgp Brierly, the
little mountain girl, has been visiting
in a nearby city. She is very much
in love with the young master of the
estate, but has been told by a jealous
woman -that the' young man is playing
with her heart. She slips quietly out
of the big house to return to her
mountain home. But as she leaves
the grounds she sees that the bam is
on fire.
She knows that a fine thoroughbred
race hprse is stabled in the barn, and
that the horse is a favorite for the
stakes in tjie great Kentucky handicap
which race, is soon to be run.
Others from the house rush out as
the flames mount up, but no one dares
to enter the stable, which' is envel
oped in smoke and flame.
Miss Stewart actually rushes into
the barn and finally coaxes the horse
to follow her out of the stable. The
fire and smoke is so thick that she can
hardly be seen through the doorway,
but she finally emerges, half suffocat
ed: Her hair was singed in taking the
scene, she was nearly smothered by
the smoked but suffered no serious in-
jury. . .
The barn of (dry boards anl filled
with hay then quickly: burns to the
ground and falls into ruins. It is a
brilliant fire spectacle and carries an
intense thrill.

I have been watching the Warren

one would, write something about the
closing of the Buff al school bu noth
ing has appeared.
In justice to our teacher I must say
wo have just closed a succcessful term
of school with Miss Mattie Clark as
teacher. She is a lady who has devot
ed all the time the law reuired to her
duties and conducted herself during
her stay in our midst as a model tea
cher and an economical, energetic chris
tian lady. She boarded "with us'.dur-
ing the school year and made friends
with all. J. A. CHEEK.

Bogus War Stamps
On The Market
Postmistress N. Mc,. Moore today
issued a warning to thrifty persons
hereabouts to be on their guard
against buying counterfeit.. War Sav
ings Starpps. Fraudulent blue stamps
of the 1919 series have been made by
counterfeiters, the postmistress has
been advised, and are being sold to the
unwary.
"But the frauds, can be easily de
tected," Mfs. Moore said. "Ben Frank
lin's picture appears on the stamp, and
in the counterfeit stamp, . old Ben
seems to- have the mumps in his left
jaw. Indeed, there is a pronounced
swelling. Then under the portrait the
lower of the two left dots is com
paratively indistinct, and the vertical
opening between the lines" in the lower
left part of the" numeral 2' in the date
'1924 is closed. The principal fea
tures of the fraud, however the
swollen cheek. ;
"It sfyoujd be remembered that the
counterfeit is only of the 1919 series,
and, like the original, is blue. Blue
j War Savings Stamps can no longer bi
bought from postoffices or other au
thorized agencies. Only the 192Q
stamps, which are red, are now being
sold by agencies. Sales of last year's
stamps are not legal. No one should
buy a 1919 stamp, though it is true
that some have been improperly of
fered for sale. . v
"Everyone who bought 1919 stamps
last year may feel perfectly safe' Mrs
Moore said in conclusion, "because the
counterfeit was not made until after
i the first of this year. The blue
stamps had then been withdrawn from
sale by the authorized agencies, and
ithe red 1920 stamp was being sold,

PENALTY NOT TO REPORT
ALL CONTAGIOUS DISEASES
Law Governing: Quarantinabia
Diseases Reproduced; Penalty
For Failure Is Attached; Pub
lice Expected To Heed Notice.
Indications seem to point to an epi
demic of Whooping Cough threaten
ing the County. A number of cases
have been reported directly by the par
ents to me; and a number of children
have been reported to, me by outsiders
as being suspicious of having this dis
ease. It seems that Whooping Cough is
lightly regarded by the general public,
so much so that few parents are con
sulting their family physicians in re
gard to the disease; so far only 'one
case of Whooping Cough has been re
ported by a physician this year. This
ought not to be. When your child has
a spasmodic cough you should consult
your usual medical attendant at once;
the percentage of pneumonia resulting
from Whopping Cough has been found
by statistics to be greater than from.
Measles; it is not a disease to be tri
fled with.
, Incidentally I wish respectfully to
call the attention of all parents and
householders to the fact that all cases
of Whooping Cough must be quaran
tined, and reported to the Quarantine
Officer even if you do not consult a
physician. Note what the appended
law says about quaranting contagious
diseases, and note that Whooping
Cough heads the list.

Memorial exercises were held in

Short talks were made by Supt. J. Ed

Messrs. W. Keppel Falkener and W.
Brodie Jones returned last Thursday
from Flint, Michig bringing two
cars through the country for custo
mers of the Motor Sales Co. They had
good weather and a delightful trip.
Mr. Jones says two things impressed
him especially the fine roads, and the
fine farms and barns of Ohio. He
says the barns were nicely painted
and were larger than the homes of the
farmers. He says for hundreds of
miles the roads were as hard as main
street of Warrenton. Prosperity
abounded, though in his opinion North
i Carolina has Michigan and Ohio beat
J to a stand-still in natural advantages.
j We ndt only have the soil and climate
but with that soil and climate we can
! raise any and all of the crops and our
livestock can be pastured for eight or
nine months m the year. We are
, -
awakening, however, to our advantag
es, improving our methods and em
bracing our opportunities each year.
