THANKS ARE DUE HOTEL COMMITTEE A report of work done al Hotel Warren since its pur chase by the town at public auction several months age was on Monday night made to the town commissioners by James B. Boyce, chairman of the Hotel committee. Commissioner Boyce and the other members of the Hotel Committee, Hermar Rodwell and Clifton Bobbitt, have performed a commend able service for the benefil of the citizens of this town at a sacrifice of time which might have been devoted to their own affairs. We feel that, now the hardest part of their work is over,, they have the satisfaction of knowing that they have performed a worthwhile job in a creditable manner. In addition, on behalf of our citizens generally, we offer them the thanks of the town of Warrenton. Indications now are that the town purchased Hotel Warren at the psycological moment when, perhaps, the greatest value could be obtained for its money. Since that time business affairs hava sbnwn substantial im 11M T V W?AV ? ? A* vv?*a mmmm provement and even the pessimists grudingly admit times are on the upgrade. By the judicial spending of a few extra thousand dollars the value of the town's investment has been greatly enhanced. With further bus iness improvement bringing increased traveling, the, value of the Hotel should continue to rise. Two measures may b< taken to further increasi the value of Hotel Warren One of these is the buildinf of the road to Louisburg ant its adoption as part of High way No. 1, sending muc* traffic by the door of the Hotel. We feel that this is eventually going to be done The other measure is the de velopment of a consciousnesi of the fact that the Hotel i; now owned by the citizen! of the town, that it is theii property, that its develop ment will be reflected ir their own pocketbooki through lower taxes, anc that Warrenton should con tain over a thousand stock holders, working, pullinj and boosting its growth. TWO DRINKING FOUNTAINS Not so much to the well to-do with friends in towi and money to purchase coo drinks at public soda foun tains, but to the thousand] of less fortunate citizens o the county, particularly thos< of the colored race, comes ? good tidings the news tha two public drinking foun ^ tains are to be establishe< cn the court square. These fountains are to bi installed and o p e r a t e < through cooperation of thi * t -Warren ton, North Carolina town and county. We feel that thp commissioners of town and county rendered a ? worthwhile service in ordering their installation. i mostly 1 .(personal I By BIGNALL JONES Kimminnnsnnnnniimimmnnmn "If any one should have walked into this office last Thursday nignt about 10:30 o'clock he would have no doubt been inclined to believe that this place had been turned into an institution for the feeble-minded and the Jones boys were the inmates. "There was Duke up on top of the press swinging a broom with as much vehemence as he used to display when trying to contact one of the speedy balls that used to sorne. how get by him when he was out on the ball diamond facing Buck " Loyd or Spain from over in the ! Palmer Springs section; P. D. was , running up and down the floor with a stick, ducking the brooms as they swung over his head and swinging I his club with about as much suc cess as he has when trying to hit . the same place twice when chopping wood with an axe; Bignall had some kind of club and was swingl ing in a manner that I have seen , him display in trying to hit a hard tennis ball; and there I was with 1 a broom up on a table?but never > mind about describing the contor. tions that I was going through." The above quoted paragraphs > were pounded out by Howard, who, l before the weather grew so hot, , imagined that he was going to write his column, "Interlude," this week. The rising thermometer . and press of other duties having ; discouraged a laudable ambition, and in view of my own threat at 9 o'clock last night to give our readers a vacation from my own column, he turned that part of his article over to me. He had not yet reached the point where he was to mention that a bat was the cause of the excitement. i In the interest of strict veracity ( that was very fortunate. A bat did enter the press room of the Warren Record on Thursday night of last week and a spectator might have imagined that he was in an institution for the feeble-minded, but ' such spectator, I am quite sure, has ! never tried to operate a machine with a bat flipping by his head. Had he, he would not believed we were so batty after all. That is beside the point. My quarrel is witn , the truthfulness of Howard's description of my action in trying to . bat down the bat. Duke was on top of the press swinging a broom with the vehem- ; 1 ence displayed in lays of yore in ' fanning at Buck Loyd's curves. P. D. was chasing up and down the floor with a stick in a manner that dampened the pride that I usually 5 have in our relationship. Howard ; was on top of a table swinging a broom with the grace of the captain of the bloomer girls, remines' cent of nothing so much as the i motions of a fat washerwoman. He . would swing at the bat, nearly r loose his balance, catching himself ' just in time after each swing to * take another poke on the return frln ] As for me, true I had a stick and i was striking at the bat. That much ' was perfectly true. But, in strik3 ing contrast to the antics of the other boys, my swing was one rif - perfect rythm, with the grace and 3 poetry of motion to be found in the swoop of an eagle from some lofty 3 mountain peak, or the ripple of a 3 bass as its parts the water of some r shady nook. Oh! the bat? It got tired, flew over behind some boxes on a shelf, 1 and we got out the paper. 3 1 tttiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimro ! | Retrospective ii The Warren Record five years ago said: After"fTstruggle that lasted more than 30 minutes, George Morris, negro, driver of the town cart, . killed a mad dog here Saturday A night by holding on to the animal's hind legs and smashing its head 1 against a concrete curbing.
