The city man, being highly indignant, stat ed "that he would take it to the Su perior Court." 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 H--1," roared the city man. The old farmer rared back on his haunches and said: "My lawyer will be thar." 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!' Elmore (Minn.) Eye. Moonshine Whiskey Captured Here A colored man named Powell bought two gallons of moonshine here Saturday in his buggy. The finger of suspicion pointed him out and Chief k. L.

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.

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.

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.
