The board has been operating with only six of the seven members to which it is entitled since the recent resignation of Commissioner Beverly White. Closeness of the resignation to the time of the town election has been given as the reason for leaving White's seat vacant. Those who have already filed as candidates in the May 2 election are: For Mayor, W. A. Miles; for Commissioner, Hugh W. Holt, W. L. Wood, A. C. Fair, A. D. Johnson, A. C. Blalock. Walker P.

The Beam Company, has a demonstrator, originally priced at $21,500, which they will sell for $16,500, Burwell told the commissioners. This demonstrator is practically as good as a new truck, he said, and by acting quickly, the town could save $5,000.00. The reason for haste, Burwell said, is that the Beam | representative had called him and said that he had another prospect for the truck and , must know by 10 o'clock that night if Warrenton wanted the truck.

Emmanuel Church was built in 1827 by Thomas Bragg, father of Confederate General Braxton Bragg, whose home stands nearby. It was in this church in July, 1836, that a New York journalist, Horace Greeley, was married. A few feet from the southwest corner of the church stands a small tombstone marking the grave of Mary Turner, granddaughter of Tarheel Governor James Turner and Francis Scott Key, author of "The Star Spangled Banner." The commemoration will be one of solemnity and dignity, according to Charles A. Tucker, histoiographer of Emmanuel Church, and there have been no attempts to commercialize the two-day affair. ant Need By Board Warrenton is the fact that Fishing Creek is a tributary of the Tar River and Warrenton dumps its raw sewage into Fishing Creek.

A Lite Following Talks With Delegations The location of a junior high school serving the Warrenton school district appears uncer:ain following Monday night's neeting of the Warren County ooard of education here. A cloud of uncertainty as Far as the school's site is concerned developed after a group of Afton school patrons, who seem to have had a change of heart since endorsing the Macon site a month ago, told iko ~a.*?... HIV wuuiu U1 iruuiduuii iuc.u they believed it would be financially feasible to locate the junior high school at Afton instead of the Macon community. Macon was almost a sure bet as the site of the proposed school before Monday night's meeting and is the choice of the district board which advocated and must administer the proposed junior high school. Members of the Warrenton district, which governs the Warrenton and Macon schools, have gone on record as favoring the old Macon High School building, built in 1917, as the site of the junior high school. Some Afton patrons on Monday questioned whether wheth er or not the county board would be wise in appropriating the funds necessary for rennovations at the Macon school. -4 They told the board that Alton had a sound building, requiring no additional outlay, that would facilitate the junior high program. However, James Elam, spokesman for the Afton school board, spoke in favor of placing the school at Macon. Elam said that Afton patrons had already voted to have the junior high school at Afton, and if this were not possible to have the school at Macon. He said another vote by Afton patrons would reveal the same sentiment. Thus it appears that two seporofa f ooimnc r\r\c\ Vi nl Hind mif BIBIC IBkUUUJ UIIV IIVIH ^ ww? for the school's location at Alton ,the other reconciled to establishing the junior high school at Macon?have sprung up in the Afton school district. Following the reception of the two Afton delegation*, the county board discussed the possibility of placing the Junior high school at Warren ton, if available room could he secured at the John Graham High School building. Hoard members were almost unanimous in saying that such a plan might best serve the interest of the children, and that if such a plan could he worked out, shuttling of pupils from one school to another could be eliminated. However, this move was conjectory and no action was taken on the possibility. This move would probaMy defeat one of the main purposes of havng a Junior hlA school as far as the Warrentdn district hoard is concerned (See HIGH, page IS) Dinner Tickets Placed On Sale Tickets for a buffet dinner to be held at Hotel Warren on April 80 were placed on <??? the April Sft . j
