The amount of goods stolen I is not kr.own. Mr. Ro.lwell said the only things I b.e was certain stolen were two or I three pieces of chewing gum and a I sman piece of cheese.

Mr. Rodwell expressed the opinion I that die robber was more after 1 I money than foodstuff. He said his I safe had been gone through and I papers were scattered over the building, but that the thief found I 110 money in the building. Whether any foodstuff or other packages were taken out of the I store Mr Rodwell does not know. ' The proprietor stated that with so many small packages on the shelves, many of which had been broken for sales, he could not ascertain what, if ar.y.hing, had been stolen. The robbery was discovered Monday night around 1 o'clock by Night nffirer Kenneth Short. Mr. Rod I well said he did not know whether the building was entered Sunday night or Monday night, the store having been closed on Monday :n observance of the Christmas holiday.

Christmas Passes Peacefully Over Warren County Christmas passed peacefully in Warrenton and over the county with only one serious accident taking place to bring sorrow to the homes of residents of this immediate section, so far as it could be learned here yesterday. While there were several minor automobile collisions, none of these compared in seriousness with the injury received by the small son of Mr- and Mrs. Albert Bugg who shot himself with a rifle while in his back yard attempting to kill pigeons. He is in a Rocky Mount hospital in a serious condition but with a fifty-fifty chance of recovering. There were the usual round ol egg-nogg parties here and some evidence of tipping the cup too heavily around the fireside of friends' homes, but all in all the town spent a peaceful and joyous yuletide season. Dancing took place often at the country club, but the social highlight of the season along this line was Wednesday night when the Duke and Dutchess Club held its first winter dance with more than a hundred persons enjoying the occasion in the beautifully decorated armory. It was regarded by many as being one of the nicest dances held here in many years. With the holidays drawing to a close merchants are busy with inventories and others are taking stock of their standing and preparing for a new start in 1939. Monday will be observed here by the Bank as a holiday, it is reported, but the stores and other business houses will remain open for business. It is first Monday and it is expected that many citizens will come to Warren ton for business with the county commissioners and other purposesAll schools of the county will reopen on Tuesday morning, it was' announced yesterday at the office of the superintendent of public instruction. x Miss Weldon And O.

The animal kicked him and it was necessary ; for him to have six stitches taken by a local physician. WARRENTON, COUNTY OF | MOSTLY | I PERSONAL 1 By BTGNALL JONES | Christmas night as I wearily crawled between the sheets, I understood fully why so many old hymns expressed a yearning for eternal rest- For in those days when the hymns were written "Man worked from sun to sun and woman's work was never done." Sunday night terminated a week of about the hardest work I have ever done and the majority of the tasks that fell within the latter part of the week were what is commonly known as woman's work. And at the risk of disillusioning some of the stronger sex, I remark that the average man's work is a cinch compared with that of a woman with a child running a home without the aid of a servant. So far as the work is concerned, I had rather any time run a linotype for half a day than nurse my young son for an equal length of time. And I had much rather run the machine or write this column than wash dishes. Furthermore, I had rather do both for two days than clean up for one day. Beginning Monday morning of last week, the whole force here at the office began working under pressure to get the paper out by Wednesday night in order to have a 1 longer Christmas holiday. We made 1 the Wednesday night mail but had v to come back Thursday to finish up 1 out-of-town mailing and to complete * some job work. The remainder of that afternoon I spent nursing in c 1_? lu.t ?J 4.^ ( oraer uiai my wiie niigiiu aticnu vu * other work. The remainder of the I week was spent in erecting a Christmas tree, helping my wife pick a i turkey, helping her decorate the 1 tree, helping her get out the wed- ? ding china packed up for many ? months, washing dishes, nursing and t making myself generally useful. The c worst of the work was behind us r on Christmas Eve at 12 o'clock and ? we got to bed at 12:30 and were up at 6:30 the next morning in order c to attend the Christmas services at Ridgeway. c Shortly after we returned from t church a colored woman came in to 1 help my wife for a few hours and 1 I got my first breathing spell be- 3 fore dinner when the Rev. B. N. de i Foe Wagner, Belford Wagner, Eliz- c abeth Wagner, Mr. and Mrs- Robert t Scott and their three children, c Bobby, David and Clara, were our c guests and watched me make my s first attempt at carving a turkey. a After dinner we went into what e we call the large sitting room where an open fire had been burning all ' day and had our Christmas tree. The Scott children were filled with excitement and it was caught to some degree by our own 17-monthsold son, who thoroughly enjoyed t his Christmas. As I watched the t children playing about the tree s with their toys, I felt that it was I well worth all the work that we had f expended. With one of my brothers in Belhaven and another eating c Christmas dinner in Henderson, p with my parents absent for the f first Christmas I could remember, n the joy of the children saved o Christmas for me. fi C I had not intended filling this o column this week with our doing at f Christmas, but as Mrs. Scott was ji leaving she remarked that she won- ri dered what I would have to say o about Christmas this week and that she could hardly wait to see my column. I am very fond of her and her remark is responsible for the h subject matter of the column this ti week. v J Sunday begins a new year. We J all have had our troubles during ii 1938; we have all done those things e: we should not have done, and left a undone those things we should have ti done. The New Year offers us op- C portunity for a new trial. It is my ii hope that the new year will find us L with sufficient courage to bear any ii trouble that may befall us during e' the year; that the evil we may do b will be less and that the good that ei we may do will be greater. That all all of us and each of you may find happiness in 1939 is my sincere wish for the New Year. a; a Rev. W. A. Grissom of New Pres- tc ton, Conn, joined his wife in the S home of Mr. and Mrs. R.
