GOOD SENSE.


Warrenton Record.
There should be il every county
county pride which Will make every
man feel an interest liz his county
aod in everything which concerns
the welfare Of his county. Between
the citizens OF the county town aud
the citizen Of the country there
should not only be the klndest Of
feeling, but harmony Of action, be.
cause there is community OF inter>
est. There Is an lnterdependence III
the very nature of things which can
be neither avoided nor evaded. ihe
business and professional men and
all the other dwellers in the town,
in an agricultural section, are large
~ dependent upon the farmer, 90
that if the farming population are
unsuccessful and poor, they suffer 10
tnelr profession ana trade.
1t is eqally true that the growth
ard prosperity Of tae town i OF vital
importance to the farmer. AS the
popui 4tion Of the town Increases and
its people become prosperous, an en-
larged demand il create: for farm
products, especially the smaller ar
ticles, and the very articles in which
thele IS the creates: profit. Each is
interested IN the success and pros>
perity Of the other. Tue town should
do all 1T can to advance the interest
of the farmer, and the farmer should
take pride IN his COUNTY town and
do all he car to promote it's prosper
ity. The existence Of prejudice upon
the part of either to the other, Is un>
becoming an intelligent and patriots
ic people.
We are not unaware of the unfOr-
tunate fact, that during the past
year, growing on: Of extraordinary
political excite neDt, kind Of
antagouism was created between the
town aud country. There was no
occasion for this nor any sense in it.
In this country every man is entitled
to his own views In religion and
politics, and while they may be verv
erroneous, and the measures advo-
cited Re calculated to produce

misfortune is. that in tie heat of q
political campaign men often say
and do whnt in their cooler moments
they regret, and in this matter, no
one part7 is to blame more tnan
enother. Just as hard words we're
spoken by one as the other. If any
are to blame, then all are equally
guilty.
We are exceedingly anxious to
see the people of old Warren a uni,
as they were when first We knew
them, many years ago. We want to
sce the people Of the county mutually
interested in each others welfare.
SO far as the t6s"-. n Is concerned =.
know that there Is not man IN 1t
who is not anxious for the farmers
to he prosperous. Admit that the
people of the town are pe.uniarily
Interested in the matter, yet the
0esiro exists all the same, but they
are also Influenced by noble motive.
We want to see the people Of the
county outside Of the town, in full
sympathy with the town, taking
pride in its growth and prosperity.
Tris is the condition of affairs which
ought to exist, and every reader
knows it.

the fact that we find some Of our
Warren county farmers carrying
their tobacco to Henderson, and
other markets, instead of bringing it
to Warrenton. If by carr, log it to
other markets they could get more
for it, there would be some excuse.
but this is not the case. We make
the assertion without qualification,
ts.nt the same grade Of tobacco Will
bring Just as much on the u arrenton
market as on 80, other market in
North Carolina or Virginia, and we
beheve it will bring more, and 10
This opinion we are supported by
scores CT farmers wtO hsye sold OF
this market and on the other markets.
Inst, al of aiding IN the building up
OF ether towns, patronize your own
county town aud Lelp build 1t rr.
1t is to your interest to do so.
