We are indeed sorry to learn
through the former editor Mr.
Frame Wnorowski that his wifes
brother, Mr. John Long passed
away Friday night at 9:30 o'clock
at Hedrick, Iowa. We along with
a number of Crescent people had
a personal acquaintance with Mr.

est sympathy to the bereaved
relatives.

There was 8675 bales of cottou
counting round as half bales,
ginned in Logan county, from
the crop of 1914 prior to Novem-

Over a hundred cotton pickers
pulled out for Guthrie Saturday.
The cotton crop is being pretty
well picked, Some however,
have a good deal to pick but the
bulk of the crop has been picked
It is thought the crop will reach
four thousand bales.
We have just learned that Miss

work, and her many friends are

announced that Walter Warren
will be his deputy, John Adams
yreseut county attorney, will
take up the practice of law on

very capable attirne.y and alrea-
dy has several good clients to
represent, on his retirement.
Claud Miza, Crescent's city
Marshal lost, the last of his blood
hounds on Mondav evening, it
does seem strange tint Claud
should lose so many of these
dogs, this makes four blood
hounds that Claud has lost in the
past eitfht months and the dam
age is quite heavy on Claud,
evidently some of the dogs came
to their death by wicked and
wanton hands and the party that
would do such an act is little
less than an outlaw. It is hard
to belive such a character lives
in the comunity but there is no
question but what some one
poisoned some of the dogs, and
really deserves a dose of the
same kind of medicine.
You Cau Bet on Georqe.
George W. Sloan as we claimed
ali along in the campaign was
not only some runner but a
dandy good fellow, and Georgg
proved to be so, slippiugaround
to the editorial sanctum on
Friday and requested us to put
his name in that place held vacant
for the Turkey gentlemen. He
stated that a nice young Turkey
hen was ours. We always did
bet on George and found him a
winner and we have more reason
than evei to pick him as a win-
ner. We appreciate the compli-
ment and shall relish our Thanks-
giving with a good deal of
Thanks, not only to the All Wise
Father but tu Commissioner
Sloan as well.

Pays to Advertise
E. J. Adams is a firm boliver
in advertising but last Saturday
convinced him more than ever
that when one has a bargain and
lets the public know it, he can
surely get rid of the same He
put on a special sale of $7 50
mattresses and sold them for
$1 50 and they went like hot
cakes, selling a dozin and hav-
ing orders for more. He is going
to have another mattress sale of
the same kind next Saturday
and has ordered a big shipment
to (.'are for the wants of the uub-
lic. Earn says when you got a
bargain let the people know it,
for they know a bargain.
The Motion Show.
The new aluminum curtain at
the picture show along with the
orchestra and the excellent re-
production of George Washing-
ton and his army at Valley Forge
proved a great hit Saturday night J
and the house was packed to the
limit. Next Saturday night he
has a fine lot of pictures some
comical while on Thanskgiving
night he will give a big seven reel
attraction appropriate of the oc-
casion, with much humor and
some pathos. The shows are
good and are drawing good
crowds and itis Manager Nelms'

sible. Both the shows, next Sat
urday night and Thanksgiving,

Some Cotton Pickers
We believe this is the record
breaker. Harry Pool picked 625
pounds of cotton from 7:30 to
6:30 p. m, on the Herron place
and Elden Terhune picked 573
pounds in the same length of
time on the same place lacking
two pounds of 1200 pounds of
cotton picked by these two hust-
lers in one day
this?

Stephenson August 22 1897, in
Ann Arbor, Mich., who survives
him; also one sister and one
brother, living in Ann Arbor,

The death of Mr. Gates is the
culmination of the accident tnat
befell him last week while re-
pairing the roof on the Mrs.
Brumfields store building and
I rom which he got a severe fall,
undoubtedly hurting him inter-
nally, while it caused the disloca
tion of one of his hips, which la-
ter caused his death.
Mr. Gates while not one of the
old citizjus]of Crescent; (luring
the short time lie resided here
won a warm spot in the hearts
of all, who admired him for his
manly qualities, industry and
Christian life. He was an excep
tionally tine man, and lived a life
of high ideals. He and Mrs.
Gates came to Crescent for the
benefit of Mrs. (iates health
which has been quite poorly, and
a more devoted, kinder husband
never lived, Ins every thought
was for the comfort of Mrs
Gates and his hope was for her
recovery, he was indeed a fine
gentleman, full of the good qual-
ities that go to make up the coun-
trys best citizenship and his
passing away has caused a sot:
row and gloom over the commun-
ity, the funeral services were
held at the home of Jack Cress,
on Friday last Rev. E A. Jewett
officiating.
Mr. Gates was a brother in
law of Mrs. Jack Cress of this
place. The relatives have the
t.cnderest sympathy of the whole
com munity.
