GREELEY MARRIED THERE. The Episcopal Church in which Horace Greeley was married in 1836 is soon to give way to a more modern structure here, according to views expressed at the vestry meeting Tuesday evening.

The new church will have a seating capacity near 225 and will contain the memorial windows which have been added to the present church from time to time. Chas. A Tucker was appointed to negotiate with architects for plans. He said yesterday that "work should commence by the first of April." The vestry did not decide upon the disposition of the old church. The Episcopal Church building was begun in 1822.

It was consecrated in August of 1924, and has been continuously a place of worship by many of the old families of the town and county. It became a distinctive place of interest because of the marriage there of Horace Greeley, later Editor of the New York Tribune and candidate for Presidency, to Mis Mary Chaney, a school teacher here from the North. A new building has been in contemplations here for a number of ars and the views were unanimous ior immediate action. Members of the Episcopal vestry are Rev. E.

Captain George Harrison and Welter White drove to Warren Plains before noon yesterday and mended the wires. No other labor was available, and these gentlemen repaired the damage and three hours later were in touch with Richmond. Lights failed Wednesday night near 9 o'clock when a' wire snapped in front of the The 2200 volts sparked from the grounded wire at intervals until Supt. J. C.

Moore ordered the power cut. He mended the wires but later in the night the increasing weight of more sleet and snow sent other poles down. Lights and power were, not available until yesterday afternoon. Numbers of limbs snapped under the strain. The snow has made the roads even worse and the town saw few visitors yesterday.

MACON ITEMS. The weathre has caused much sickness in our community. The doctor has been kept busy by lagrippe and colds. Macon is still growing. A garage is being built on the lot between Mr.

W. G. Egerton's old store and Henry Watson's. Mr. Barksdale is to be one of the mechanics in the garage.

The school trucks find the roads pretty bad, but they show up on time every morning. Miss Grace Moore of Ridgeway is visiting in the home of her sister, Mrs. A. Overby. Mr.

J. M. Coleman entertained a few friends at a Valentine party on Tuesday night. Mr. G.

H. Singleton of the Agriculture Department of Macon High School purchased a Ford last week. Mr. W. A.

Overby entertained a few friends at Rook Monday night. Mr. E. H. Russell entertained a few of his many friends at a birthday party one night last week.

The Ladies Missionary Society of the Methodist Church gave an oyster supper Friday night in Mr. Coleman's old building. In spite of the severe weather the pupils in our school are as "snug as a bug in a rug." The steam heat is a great improvement over last year's heating arrangement. Judging from the condition of the weather the "ground hog" must have seen his shadow. NORLINA HAS DELEGATION The Warrenton Railroad offered the same freight rate on shipments over its lines as prevails at either Warren Plains or Norlina to the Cooperative Storage Warehouse Committee in session here Saturday.

The road said that is was now giving Mr. Winston's Fertilizer factory the same rate on "shipments within the State that Warren Plains gave. All precincts were represented Saturday. President John B. Davis presided and Secretary W.

H. Palmer was present as Secretary. Pesdient Davis made report of his conference with the authorities at aleigh and brought plans for modern storage facilities. The Committee reported that both Norlina and Warren Plains had made nattering offers for the site of the warehouses. The advantage of proper fire protection in order that insurance might be lessened was stressed by the authorities.

The Engineer in charge of building said in a letter to President Davis that he would advise the Committee to get sites offerefl and that he would come down in a few days and go over the matter aid in selecting the best possible location. The committee meets with the engineer in a few days for perfection of plans and the selection of sites. WISE SECURES A STANDARD SCHOOL Wise has realized that for which it has been earnestly striving a standard high school. All of the State's requirements have been met, and the school will go on the official list of accredited high schools' this Fall. The new high school building was completed the first of January.

Concurrent with its opening, Mr. Stacy A. Duncan' entered upon his duties as teacher of science and mathematics, making the third member of the faculty to devote his entire time to high school work. Mr. Duncan is a graduate of Wake Forest, an earnest and interesting teacher, who working in co-operation with our efficient principal is helping to make our high school approach the ideal.

"Lost Colony" at Wise, Feb. 21st. Everybody is looking anxiously forward to Feb. 21, the date set for moving picture sent out by the State the return to our community of the Department of Education. This time we are to see the picture about which so much favorable comment has come from all parts of the State, a picture in which the early history of our Stater's portrayed by the people of Koanoke Jsland, a fact which makes the story of the "Lost Colony" of additional value and interest.

Two hundred new seats have been placed in the auditorium and a full house is expected. The program which was to have been given by the school on the evening of Washington's birthday has been postponed until the following week. 0 Plans are taking 'shape for a "Parent-Teacher similar to the "Mother's Day" observed two years ago, except that this time fathers- will not be excluded. Sometime March all of the parents will be invited to the school for the The first thing in order will be visiting the class rooms. There will be a program in which a prominent speak er will have a part.

The rest of the day will be given over to community recreation perhaps an old-fashioned spelling match or game of ball between the marrie'd men and the bachelors. Other features will be determined upon later. Mr. W. M.

Rochelle has been called to the bedside of his father, who lives near Wilming-ton. Rev. N. F. Britt, because of illness, was unable to fill his appointment at Sharon Church on Sunday.

Rev. Mr. Crouch of Wake Forest occupied Mr. Britt's pulpit in his absence. Boy Returns Tablet.

A young colored boy took a writing tablet from Mr. Tom Williams' buggy here Saturday evening. Mr. Williams called upon Chief E. L.

Green. A little evidence was gathered and the boy confessed to Mr. Williams. He returned the tablet. NEW POPE Cardinal Achille Ratti, Arch- bishop of Milan, has been prd'- claimed Pope, taking the name 6i Pius XI.

His Holiness was borfl in Italy, Oct. 12, 1858. He received the Red Hat as Cardial last year. Previous he was Papal Nuncie in Poland, hems, sleeves and neckbands add a gay note to Spring fashions. One of the most popular shades for trim-mins is dahlia red.

Navy Blue Still Popular. "But the more conservative colors still have their admirers the Ave-mand. Strictly tailored- suits in the favored navy blue have lost none of their old time popularity. Jade green is still popular. Mouse grey continues to be stylish in dresses.

Mouse grey retains it popularity because it lends itself gracefully to any combination of colors." Mr. Alston then discussed the street costumes displayed in the New York shops. "While taffeta is still as popular as ever, Crepe Knit is one of the newer materials much in vogue in Spring dresses, suits and capes. "In lingerie, Fashion gives Her approval to everything from the lacy, frilly chiffons to the more tailored crepe de chines. Silk and Wool Hosiery.

"The latest thing in hosiery, I have found, consists of a mixture of silk and wool. They are warmer than sheer silk and smarter than plain wool. They are being worn in every shade, but the most popular appear to be heather, tans, browns, blacks and greys." By the time Mr. Alston had reached this point in his description of the latest fashions in femine finery, I had decided that I had heard as much as one ordinary masculine head could hope to retain. But before leaving, I asked Mr.

Alston about Warrenton. I soon learned that he was as enthusiastic about that big little town in North Carolina as he was about women's apparel. "The outlook is good for us this year," Mr. Alston said. "Conditions at home are much better than they were last year and I anticipate a prosperous Summer for our part of the.

country. "I shall remain in New York probably a week. I hope to see some plays while here and shall do so, if I find the time, but my principal reason for being here is to see the fashions and to bring the best of them to L- cvooc senator Lodge, ALSTON TALKS EW I Buyer Has Busy Day In New York; What Women Will Wear This Spring. INTERVIEWED AT HOTEL. By JOSEPH A.

FLEITZER. NEW YORK CITY, Feb. 15. Special to The Warren Record Fifth Avenue is on its way to Warrenton; at least that newest and most fashionable, psfrt of the avenue whichle-lights women shoppers is to be magically wafted to the Southland. I witnessed another sign of march of smaller town progress this evening.

The time is past when the small town merchant was content to await the coming of the city salesman with his versions of the latest styles. Ther up-to-date town Mohammed does not wait for the mountain to come to him but goes to the mountain. The Mohammed in this case who will transfer many of the Fifth Avenue styles to Warrenton, is Mr. W. H.

Alston whom I met in the Hotel Seville this evening. I saw a tired but enthusiastic Mr. Alston. He was tired because of a day filled with sightseeing, but his brand of sightseeing was not of the type which one usually associates with a visitor to New York. The day was passed in viewing the latest fashions in suits, dresses, cloaks, waists, lingerie, hosiery and all those things which go to make the complete women.

It had been a busy, tiring day, but Mr. Alston was enthusiastic. He was enthusiastic because of what he had seen and what he was going to bring to Warrenton. "No, I did not buy anything today," Mr. Alston said.

"I spent the day in seeing what the shops were displaying and in ascertaining the lowest prices on the goods I shall decide to buy. I do not want anything cheap, but I do want to buy with an eye toward serving my customers with the best goods at the lowest prices. Tf shall be in no hurry about buying until I have made my selections carefully" Mr. Alston then launched into a description of the things he had seen. For once I wished that I had been a woman.

Words foreign to my vocabulary my ears. Taffetas and hennas and Crepe Knit combined to befuddle a mind accustomed only to serges and pinstripes and herringbone. But Mr. Alston knew his subject and explained enthusiastically what he had seen. I tried to follow him and I shall attempt to transcribe what I heard afterapologizing if I should, perchance, designate a color as a material or vice versa." Brilliant Color Tendency.

"The tendency is toward brilliant colors and gingerbread," Mr. Alston said, "although the more sedate shades ha.ve lost none of their popu-lpritv. Among the newest colors are periwinkle blue and honey-dew. Periwinkls blue is a blue lavender in vogue in dresses and hats. Honey-dew is a yellowish pink used for evening-dresses, blouses and the dainter things of feminine apparel.

"Hennas, which are still popular, have developed into new shades. One of them is a rich brownish tint of the older shade. This is in vogue for dresses and hats. "Gingerbread "or "'is seen in a variety of designs. Braids around II Harding, Sreta7y- behind President), 3 JVOOt.

A rare devotional service drew twc Warren County audiences much closer to the Methodist Orphanage at Raleigh tha- past Sunday when the Singing Class of that Institution appeared at Warrenton and Norlina. I)r.

J. T. Gibbs welcomed them at Warrenton in the morning while Rev M. Y. Self extended the word to the class at the Norlina School auditorium in the evening.

Supt A. Barnes epressed upon both occasions the pleasure of bringing the class tc the and -opportunity it afforded to become better acquainted The program was given with poise The eighteen boys and girls were admirably trained and from the first number until the last held the rapt attention of the audiences. One of the largest crowds which ever gathered in the Methodist church were present to welcome the class Sunday morning in -Warrenton. In the evening Norlina and the surrounding territory filled the school auditorium to capacity. Nothing could have been much more winsome than the song by two little girls "To A Rose." Nothing could have been much more ennobling in spirit than "My Faith Looks Up To Thee" as sung by one of the smaller girls and interpreted by another, clad in the white pf innocense.

Tears, unbidden, came into many eyes during the program. Its tender inspirational character and thorough ness of preparation were a tribute to Mrs. Nellie B. Rives, director, and to Rev. A.

S. Barnes. "The Methodist Orphanage made a larger place in the heart of Warren by its visit, and the splendid conduct of the children while here" several persons said this'week. Loses vCross-Cut Saw Saturday. Some one stole a cross-cut saw from a Mr.

Harriss of Embro the past Saturday night. Mr. Harriss left the saw in his buggy at Boyd's Warehouse. He returned to find the saw gone. Chief T.

H. Robertson could find no clue. YAUGHAN ITEMS. Prof. Nixon of the Graded School faculty filled the pulpit here Sunday night in the absence of our pastor.

His subject, "Sleep on Duty," was ably discussed. Mr. C. J. Tucker and family carried Miss Bettie Cree back to Norlina Sunday afternoon and spent a few hours with their son, Eugene, and family.

Miss Genervie Fleming of the Vaughan graded school faculty spent the week end with her parents at Middleburg. Prof. Nixon, Misses Ticket, Chea-tam and Fleming of our school fac-r ulty attended the teachers meeting in Warrenton 'Saturday. We are sorry 'to state that we are having a few cases of whooping cough and chicken pox among our school children. Miss Gladys Thoroughgood of Continned On Page Five.

PEOPLE, Is Booze Being Used Too Often In High Places One Query of Warren Farmer. INVITES FREE DISCUSSION. Is everything going to suit you in your community Are the morals of your community just what they ought to be? Are they getting better or worse? Are there any bootleggers in your community? Are they setting a good example for your boys? Doesn't it take all the community, and I should have said almost a county, to raise boys and girls since we have the automobile? Isn't it up to the good people of the coun-toy to sit up and take notice and take ji tand against everything that has a- tendency to destroy" the morals of our boys and girls? Are we spending our money in schools to educate them to be bootleggers if the morals of our county are getting worse, who knows where they will stop? It is time every man and woman should stop and think for one moment what am I doing to help my community? What do I care for my neighbors children? Am I living the life before others that I should? 'v If we want to make the condition better in our county how shall we start to do it? Where should we start? Are the laws of our county enforced as they should be, if not, why not? Every man and woman in this county has a right to, express themselves as to our county's welfare and I believe the county papers will give you space in there columns to do so. Lets hear from you It is claimed by some of our high-ups that Warren County would vote a wet ticket if they had a chance. Doe that speak well for our county? Has evil overcome good? Who wants to assume the responsibility for this if it be Isn't it your duty, men and women of the county, to help remove everything around you that has a tendency, to destroy the morals of our young people We are soon going ohave a primary to elect our county officials.

Don't you think 'we voters ought to ask our candidates what kind of a platform they are running on? We have a right to. demand this of them. We should not vdte for anybody that refuses to do this. I want to see the good men and women of our county use the columns of our two county papers in expressing themselves. It will be good reading matter for our boys and girls as well as older ones.

Yours for a better county, N. H. PASCHALL. WARREN, SHORT ON WILSON FUND. "Warren is still short of its quota in the Woodrow Wilson Foundation Award," W.
