An old time country gentleman had

Court of his county and won. The
city man, being highly indignant, stat
ed "that he would take it to the Su

The old countryman says, "I'll be
thar."
"And if I lose there," continued the
man from the city, "I take it to the
Supreme Court."
"I'll be thar" says the farmer.
"And if I lose there I'll take it to

Their Good-Night Message.
One of our local citizens tells this
story, and he says it happened at a
very prominent home: "It occured in
the evening. I and several others
were calling. As we chatted in the.
parlor we heard the patter of little
feet at the head of the stairs abovt.
The mother of this particular, home
raised her hand for silence. 'Hush!
The ehilden are going to deliver their
good night message,' she said softly.
'It always gives me a feeling of rev
revence to hear them. They are so
rouch nearer the Creator than we are,
and they speak the love that is in their
hearts never so fully as when the dark
has come. Listen.' Then there was a
moment of tense silence. Then,
'Mamma, came the message from
above, "Willie found a bedbug!'

Guarantors Hold Live Meeting
In Record Office Tuesday
Morning At Ten O'clock
MR. W. N. BOYD ELECTED
PRESIDENT OF GUARANTORS
Town Divided Into East And
West ..Sections With. McGuire
Captain of East and W. Brodie
Jones, West.
The community chautauqua guaran
tors were present this morning for a
live conference in the office of th
Warren Record. W. Brodie Jones call
ed themeeting to order and asked for
nominations fo pesident. M. W. N.
Boyd was nominated and elected.
Mr; Boyd called upon Mr. M C. Mc:
Guire, chm. icket committee, to out
line ticket campaign. Following an
informal conference it was decided
t divide the town into East and West
sections. W. Brodie Jones was named
Captain of the West .division with the
following assistants Misses Edith Bur
well, Mrs. M. C. McGuire, Miss Mamie
Williams, Mrs. J. E. Rooker and W.
N. Boyd; M. C. McGuire was named
captain of East division with Mrs. "W.
D. Rodgers, Jr., Misses Alice Rooker,
Hilah Tarwater and Cate Monroe
Gardner as assistants. Norlina and
Warren Plains was assigned Misses
Norma and Hattie Connelly the Turn
pike to Messrs. John Daniel and King
Pinnell; Macon to Mr. C. B. Overby.
It was decided that the price of the
season tickets would: be two-fifty, war
tax included. Junior tickets would
not be placed upon sale until the day
before the chautauqua. A saving l
four dollars is made by all who buy
season tickets if they are to attend all,
attractions, and if they-are to attend
only four it is advantageous to buy a
ticket. The guarantors are benefitted
-niy :byth ilefs-siasontic-kets.- Sin
gle admissions all go to the chautau
qua. The town was well circularized this
morning by Hugh Holt, C. R. Rodwell,
Jr., James Polk and Armstead Boyd
and it is to- be expected that the ticket
committee in their drive commencing
Wednesday will find the public anxious
to buy tickets and attend the commun
ity attraction under the big brown tent
at the academy grounds, June 12-16th.
The Community Chautauqua looks
Bigger and ' Better every day. Com
mittees in charge of the advertising
and sale of tickets vare getting, active
and all indications point to a big suc
cess. The Cnautauqua begins June 12th
and closes five days later. It will
bring a notable array of musical art
ists, lecturers and entertainers here
and the man who holds a, season ticket
i& bound to get his money's worth if
he doesn't then he is looking for some
thing that is better-than the best.-
One the season ticket plan each pro
gram can be heard for a few .cents a
number. In fact, the price is so low
that no one need be excluded. The
season tickets admit to all sessions
there are no extras of any sort.

DEMONSTRATION
WORK ENDORSED
I wonder how many women tax pay
ers there are in Warren County, aria
I wonder if it would not be the part
of justice to give them a voice in de
teming whether or not our Home
Demonstration Agent should bere:
tained! I wonder also if all of the
women whose husband's are taxpay
ers did not contribute' their full share
in acquiring that property! -Who does
that poperty really belong to anyway ?
I also wonder how it is that some
men who are so loud in their denuncia
tion of our home demonstration woik
came to be such good judges of house
work. Really how much do they know
about it.and how do they know
whether the work has been of benefit
to the women thus far reached or not ?
fit seems to me that these ijften are a
little "out of their place'." And I
wonder if the wives of thesemen do
not belong to that large class ; of
women whose work is so hard that
they are always too tired to go any
where or be interested' in anything.
And whose fault is that the, men's or
the women's, or the demonstrators ?
Miss Schifferrvisited many such homes
realizing that this was the only way
to reach these women, and I am yery
sure that if we were given enough
time and that all of 'hem would be
leached and helped in one way or
another, although this is considerable
of a task for one woman to do.
The work so far has been very suc
cessful in spite of the fact that some
small-mipded, selfish men have done
all in their power to prouse prejudice
and defeat its objects by their contin
ual knocking. (
It seems to me that with the co-operation
of the board of education much
good could be done by demonstration
work in our High Schools. Tnc time
has not yet come wlte we ca i afford
domestic s ne teachers, and Uf.t.l
then the home demonstrator can in a
moas ne make up for the lack and do
much toward paving the way for the
"Home 'Economics T T)epartments in our
schools.
We women who believe in women,
and in all that tends toward the edu
cation, of our girls, are too disgusted
with the petty politics of Warren
County to attempt to put up much of
a fight o retain our demonstration
agents.. But we are asking you men
who are indifferent, and I believe you
are in the majority, and to whom the
cost of the work means almost nothing
in taxes, to vote to retain our agents
another year: ' ,
If some of you men ai'e so small as
to oppose us, we have made up our
minds to let you do your worst and
abide our time. ' We know that it is
surely coming, ' and then perhaps
"turn abput is fair play."
A WOMAN TAX-PAYER.
The Community Chautauqua will af
ford a fine worth-while vacation f or
you right here at home amid all your
tiai-y comforts. Season tickets; for
ycurself and family will prove to be a
.jrdiuole nyestment. Trey will en
joy all of the ten great sessions and
you too will be amply repaid for all
the tim?. you spend under the big
brown tent.

". On the -second night of our Com
munity Chautauqua, Dr. J. W. Skinner,
authority on South America, will initi
ate us into the wonders of that great
continent, which is twice the size of
Europe. Dr. Skinner knows South
America intimately, for he was born in
Peru and has traveled extensively over
the continent. His unique illustrated
lecture is brimming over with thrills.
He-tells of the habits and customs and
intimate life of the people and shows
the relation of South American enter
prise to the future commercial'. life of
America. This lecture is so remark
ably different from anything you have
ever heard that you can't afford to
miss it. Each year the Community
Chautauquas engage the best lecturers
of-Europe to 'come across the water, to
entertain, and instruct Community au
diences. Dr; Skinner is one of of the
seVen big lecturers so engaged for
this year.

POLITICAL ADVICE
(By Grantland Rice and J. N. Ding)
The Irate Citizen in his den
Or office, where the Push can't mix,
Complains about the brand of men
In politics.
He curses thugs out for the graft,
The saffron-backs, and none may doubt
it, -
Who seeks to steer the nation's craft,
And rail about it.
And then he puts it all away,
He has a lot of work to do,
Or else a game of golf to play s
Like me or you.
But when it comes to who shall rule
His destiny, he loudly chatters,
"I, haven't any time to fool
With outside matters."
The Citizen sits in his den,
Too busy, much, for outside knitting,
Until Election Day and then
He, keeps on sitting.
He has but little now to say
While counting up his coin or chick
ens; But on a somewhat later day
He'll raise the dickens.
When it's too late to raise a howl,'
To heaven, then, his voice is lifted;
You'll find then with the Yawp and
Yowl
How well he's gifted. -
The Politician's safer plan
Has no complaint that's worth the not-
ing;
He merely hustles for his man,
And does the voting)
Sc if you've anything to say
That may perhaps stop later growling,
This is the hour and the day
To do your howling.
structiv
e policy will be pursued.
