There is talk of running E. W.

already he has been volunteered

the county. Aniba would make
strong candidate.
We understand that Bonner
Holiday is being talked of for the
Republican nomination for Rep

the games and is one of the best
debators in the county, a thor

and would matte himself felt in
the legislature if elected. We
have not talked to Bonner but
gat this as a rumor.

We are confident from the talk
that we have had with Mr. Miller
that he is much encouraged with
his proposition, especially since
he received tne report of the
Geologist and he shall be very
areful with the drilling of th

that next week will see his force
of drillers busy at work on the

Sarah Louise Unangst.
Once more the Death Angel
has visited our community and
taken to the home on high, Mrs
Sarah Louise Unangst, who was
born at West Greenville, Penn
s^lvania, Sept 28th, 1839 and
who was married to Joseph Rob
erts, Sept 29th, 1857, to which
union was born six children,
Minnie Blanch, Park C., George
A., Minor T., Earl W. and Carl
Bert Roberts, all of whom sur-
vive this noble mother and wife.
Mrs. Rooerts at the early age
of eighteen became a member of
the Presbyterian church and has
been a most consistent and de
vout christian ever since, about
twelve years ago there being no
church of her faith in her com
oiunity she became a member of
the Christian church at Tnplett,
Mo., and wasadeviut member
of that church up until the time
of her death. She has lived in
this community for a number ol
years but for the past twenty live
years has been atllicted with pal
sy which gradually grew worse
on her, up until her death which
occuredon April 18tb, 1916, she
having passed D- acefull.y away
at the ripe old age of 76 years, 6
months and 20 davs.
Grandaaa Roberts was certain
ly a most noble and true chris
tian lady and in her death the
community has lost one of Gods
noble characters for there never
was a oetter worn id and more
kind mother and devoted wife
than G rand ma Roberts and there
was always something about this
dear old lady that made her
every acquaintance love and ad
mire her, tier death indeed is a
sad blow to this unbroken home
until this death, and she leaves
an aching void in the hearts of
the loved ones left behind, that
cannot be healed and to these
broken hearted relatives the
whole community j jin in extend-
ing tenderest sympathy to the
bereaved ones.
The funeral services were held
from the Christian church on
Wednesday April, 19th, Rev. Re-
born officiating, after which the
remains were laid to rest in the
Crescent cemetery

County Election Hoard
The County Election Board is
in session today copying the
names from the stub books of
the ballots of all voters who par
ticipated in the last election in
order to furnish the list to Coun-
ty Registrar Clark under the
provisions of the new registra
tion law.
The law requires the county
registrar to distribute these lists
to the precinct registrars, whose
name appears on the list. If the
registrar fails to do this, the vot
er can vote anyhow, by virtue of
being on the list of voters at the
last general election.
The law is fair if the voter
insists on his rights —Leader.

j From the delightful report
brought home by our little daugh-

pared a very pleasing and enjoy-
able occasion for those present,
the dinner being qu'te elaborate
and three nice birthday cakes
graced the table besides every
thing good to eat that one would
wish for. After the dinner was
served a social hour was indulged
in. also a nice automobile ride en-
joyed in Frank's car. The guests
present were Mr. and Mrs. John
Adams and children, Mr. and
Mrs Eugene Beyers, all of Guth-

This indeed was one of Crescent's
pleasing social occasions.

Plant Cotton
This is the season ol the year
when the farmer begins to get
his ground ready for planting
cotton With the visit of plenty
of rain in this community and
the ground being in tine shape
for cultivation there is every in-
dication that spring planting will
be good. The ground will poss-
ibly warm up in the next two
weeks sufficiently to begin plant-
ing and there is no doubt but
what a big crop will be planted.
Cotton is the money crop of this
country and our farmers should
at least each plant a nice acreage.
Birthday Surprise
On last Friday night while Rev.
and Mrs. E. P. Roe were out call-
ing, more than one hundred
guests called at the Baptist par-
sonage with many delicacies and
were in the act of making cream
when the pastor and family re-
turned, and found the house full
of happy folks to remind Mrs.
Roe that it was her twentv-fifth
birthday. The lights being out
ami the house full of intruders
almost caused a panic, but Mrs.
Roe was soon over the excite-
ment, the lamps being re-lighted.
About two hours was spent in
isiting and having some choice
music rendered by Mrs. Minerva
Smith, Miss Pauline McCammim
and Mr. John Thornton, after
which a very delicious course of
cream and cake was served. At
ate hour all departed, congrat-
ulating Mrs. Roe and wishing
ler many more happy birthdays.
Mrs. Roe is yery grateful for the
kind remembrance and wishes to
extend her thanks for the useful
presents received.
Another Oil Well
We understand that some of
our local business men are now
busy closing up f or acreage
south of Crescent for another
test well. The well will be locat-
ed near the Cimarron river and
if the boys secure the desired
acreage they have a good reliable
man to drill the well. We have
sufficient faith in this proposi-
tion to feel that there will be a
well drilled if the acreage is
forth coming, the Stinson tract
will be in this block.
There is a claim that the well
that is to be drilled west of town
has been located, but as yet the
location has not been given out.
This .is the Stiff bloyk of leases
and they promise to be drilling
in a short time. Crescent is sure
to be the center of Oil activity
when all the tests get started.
Well the more the merrier, we
wish there was a well on every
quarter section.
Now is the time to consult ma
