The Warienton Lions Club observed
Ladies Night with a banquet
on the lawn of Hotel Warren
last Thursday evening, followed by
a dance in the lobby of the hotel
with music by Hal Thurston's orchestra.
J
The dinner, which was served at
8 o'clock on long tables arranged
beneath artificial lghts strung from
over-hanging tree limbs, was attended
by 110 Lions and ladies
from Warrenton and surrounding
towns. The dance was also well attended.
William Polk, who served as master
of ceremonies, spoke for a few
minutes in a light vein at the beginning
of the meal. Representatives
of clubs from other towns
were recognized by President
Claude Bowers, and at the conclusion
of the banquet the district governor
was called upon. He stated
that he had already learned that
the banquet was to be an enjoyable
affair without long speeches
and that he did not intend to mar
the happiness of the occasion by
attempting to deliver an address
In a few words he congratulated
the c'ub and expressed his pleasure
at being present, and he was given
loud applause.
Tells How To Find
Telephone Numbers
There is some little delay and inconvenience
in turning immediately
to the Warrenton Exchange in our
multiple Telephone Directory. This
can be avoided in-so-far as our
Exchange is concerned by opening
the Directory at the Warrenton
page, then take a pair of scissors
and clip off about an inch of the
upper corner of the directory from
front cover to Warrenton. This exposes
only the Warrenton page. A
thumb on this uncut balance opens
at Warrenton in a "jiffy." Try it,
nnrl vnn Trill he nlpftspn with the
delay it saves you in finding a

June 12 Last Day
To Receive Work
Sheets, Says Bright
BY BOB BRIGHT
June 12th is the last date that
we are permitted to receive or fill
out work sheets under the soil conservation
program. This applies
only t& those that did not have
work slieets in 1936. In 1936, several
producers filled out work sheets after
their crop was destroyed or after
they failed to get their crop
planted- These producers complied
just to receive payment. In 1937,
producers must intend to comply
and carry out the program from
the beginning. In the face of a
shortage in tobacco plants and the
drought I would advise all producers
to fill out their work sheets.
Committeemen will start checking
compliance within a few days
and all producers should give them
all the information and assistance
possible. The cost of these committeemen
is deducted from the
payments that the producers would
receive and its to the advantage of
everyone to reduce the expense of
this work.
In May, I mailed a notice from
this office to those producers that
had not filled out work sheets, notifying
them that their farm was
not covered with a sheet and that
I would not qualify them again.
This is the last notice that I will

To Orphanage
! Ta Ra Known As RnrwelJ
Memorial Cottage; Work
To Start Soon
Raleigh, May 29.?Plans for a
new building, to be a home for 20
older girls at Methodist Orphanage,
are in the hands of architects
and construction will start soon.
To be known as the Burwell Memorial
Cottage, the home is being
made possible through a large contribution,
the exact sum of which
was not made public, from Mrs.
George G. Allen of New York.
Mrs. Allen, the daughter of the
late Henry and Lucy Cole Burwell
of near Warrenton, also is the
niece of the Rev. J. N. Cole, former
superintendent of the orphanage.
Another gift to the institution
announced yesterday by the Rev.
Albert S- Barnes, superintendent,
was that of $600, a bequest in the
will of the late Mrs. Frank A Daniels
of Goldsboro. Mrs. Daniels was
the daughter of E. B. Borden who,
some time ago, endowed the institution
with $25,000.
ine aurweu uunage, capcuicu w
be completed by the last of this
year, will be constructed between
the Atwater Cottage and the Superintendent's
home. To be fireproof
throughout, the new building
will include sitting rooms, sewing
room and music room and other
modern accomodations for the
girls.
Each bedroom will contain two
single beds and have connecting
baths. In this cottage the 20 older
girls at the institution will be
lodged.
This year there were 300 children
at the institution, 155 of whom
were girls. Superintendent Barnes
said the new building would greatly
relieve a congestion that had
been suffered this year.

he was incarcerated on March 10
to face a charge of murdering his
brother-in-law, Andrew Knight, at
Kinton Whit's service station a
few nights previously . .
Following his conviction at the
May term of court, Terrell, through
his attorneys, gave notice of appeal
to Judge Grady's sentence of 20
years in the state penitentiary at
hard labor, and bond was set at
$10,000. Later Judge Grady reduced
the bond to $7,500 and the defendant's
sister, Mrs. Roy Armstrong
of High Point, became his surety.
Papers from the office of the cleric
of court of Guilford county showed
that she was worth considerably
more than the amount of the bond.
When the case was tried week before
last, counsel for the defen
dant asked for exceptions throughout
the trial on various rulings of
, Judge Grady, and after the jurist
had stated that he would charge
the jury that they would be forced
to find Terrell guilty of at least
second degree murder, attorneys
for the accused man agreed among
themselves that they would give
notice of appeal at the conclusion
of the case.
