"Keep thy temper, keep thy purse and keep thy tongue. If thou wouUM be wise." Miss Maggie Brooks and Mr. Brooks Cheatham spent last Friday and Saturday with relatives and friends in Lowndesvllle. Miss Annie Lee Cade returned to her home today accompanied by Miss Grace Thomas. Miss Cade has been in our midst for a few weeks. We always welcome so charming a guest to our town. We bear considerable complaint about the dry weather. Wondering if it will never rain. Why should we complain when we have nothing to do with the sending of rain. Our farmers are busy these days getting in foracft and roughness for the winter. Birth?Mrs. W. B. Wilson, a eon. The board of trustees of the Warren ton District met last week and elected Mr. J. A. Caldwell, of Due West, principal of the Warrenton High School. Mr. Caldwell Is a recent graduate of Erskine College, and a young man of marked ability. He Is energetic and < studious and now the indications are that he will make our school what it ought to be and < equal to any graded school of our State. The trustees will begiu work soon on the j new school building. It will be oi the latest design and well fitted with desks, maps, etc. We are glad to note that there will be competition In the cotton seed trade at Watts this year. The Elberton and Abbeville oil I mills will each have a buyer here, and of course, the best prices will be paid. It is a recognized fact that parents should do all that is possible to educate their children. Now for the benefit of renters we say "come to Warrenton." We have as good land as can be found anywhere in the State and it rents at a reasonable price. We have a church j here in our midst and an organized Sunday School, and get mail twice a day. Our town was well represented at the Abbeville Baptist church Sunday. Mrs. S. E. Cheatham has been sick for sometime, but is again able to be out and was strone enough to make the trip to Abbeville Sunday.
