Mr.. EDITOR:
Please allow me small space in your
valuable paper. L will start out by saying
that I do not desire to name any names,
but if the "party" from Benbow who were
over here on fishing trip in the latter
part of June do not walk up to the Cap
tains Office like men and settle for damage
done to certain spring house in this
neighborhood, not to mention butter,
cream. ETC., taken therefrom. / promise
Won that there will be some names named.
We are willing to settle on reasonable
basis. We are reliably informed that the
"party" did not have a successful fish,
although we heard three distinct explo'
sions, and saw old laurel rise from its bed
as if to meet the clouds. We close, MIR.
Editor, by saying that"a hint to the wise is
sufficient

Turkey ana the Crescent.

Nothing positive can be traced as
to when the crescent became the Turk
ish symbol. but there are several leg
ends which give the reason for its
adoption. One of these says that Philip.
the father OF Alexander, meeting with
great difficulties In the siege of Bysan-
tium, set the workmen to undermine
the walls. but a crescent noon discov-
cred the design, which miscarried;
consequently the Byzantines erected a
statue TO Diana. and the creacent moon
became the symbol OF the state. An
other legend Is that OthTan, the sui
tan, saw In a vision n crescent moon.
which kept increasing till Its horns ex-
tended from east to west. and he adopt
ed the crescent OF his dream for his
standard.
