The spirit ' cf Christmas ruled and the face of childhood shone. 1 Aiding Santa Claus last week Warrenton persons filed into the ' store building of Edmund White on " Main street and there prepared the f gifts to which the Old Man of the Chimney added his blessing as they ; were distributed on Friday and 1 Monday evenings. President W. J N. Boyd, Mrs. Boyd, Miss Mariam and Miss Lucy Boyd, with Mr. and J Mrs. E. E. Gillam, Mr. and Mrs. M. C. McGuire, Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Boyd, Mr. and Mrs. A. V. Law> son, Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Rodwell, 5 Dr. and Mrs. H. N. Walters, and ^ Miss Dorothy Walters, Lieutenant 1 and Mrs. Harold Skillman, Mrs. 5 John Burwell, Miss Mamie Wil" liams, J. A. Dameron, Brodie Jones, Mayor Frank H. Gibbs and I ethers joined hands in the initial ' steps of Santa Claus' journey. They ' had a load for his sleigh all set and ready long before the hour of 6 struck upon Friday. The tree on Court square was bright with colored lights and along Main street smaller .trees \ twinkled as the crowds gathered as night brought-out lights everymtUama wiicic". vsiiiiauiiaa uaiuio wcic sung, fire worfcs popped and balloons floated into the cold night air. Santa Claus walked upon the , scene and the tree shed its gifts into eager out-stretched hands. G, B. Gregory, Fitzhugh Read. W. R. Strickland, t Mrs. W. H. Dameron, Mrs. E. E. Gillam, Paul Bell, in addition to many of those who had aided in filling Santa's sleigh on Wednesday evening, gave a willing hand to the Good Spirit of Christmas. Boys and girls, with parents from all sections, received gifts. On account of the weather, the gifts to members of the negro race were distributed on Monday evening from Boyd's warehouse. Hundreds of negro children were there and let into the area between two distributing counters by Santa Claus, they left with a present for each and a bag of candy. Many who were unable to attend were represented by ticket-proxy and their parents went away laden with gifts to make the spirit of Christmas more real. Before and during the distribution of gifts a group of negroes rendered Christmas carols, and disposition of the gifts of the day was made smoothly. G. E. Cheek, principal of the Warren County Training School at Wise, was in charge of the program for the negro race and gave understanding aid to the committee. The Christmas trees, the second time Warrenton has remembered i,he eountv's childhood at the Yule tide season, brought much joy to all sections. The general program was under the direction of E. E. Gillam, the next president of the local Kiwanis organization, but the support for the venture came loyally from the business men of the Town of Warrenton. More than 5,000 tickets were printed in the foim of invitations to children between six and 12?those under six did. not need a ticket^and these were distributed through the schools of the county. Six thousand gifts were prepared and with each child receiving two?a bag of candy and some toy?practically 3.000 different children were served at the two trees. Weather on each occasion kept many from attending The entire program, judging from expressions which came to the committee, was a thorough success, and Warrenton in giving to others caught in abundant measure the spirit of Christmas. SOCIAL HOPES LOOK UP With a visit by members of the Zeta Psi fraternity for a banquet, with prcspects of a dance blooming almost into reality, and with the return of many from school, the social season at Warrenton giv.es promise this Yuletide. There will be f dances in neighboring towns and a number of parties. The season here promises divertion and interest.
