The Bob White Slaughter.

The open season, or the quail
season, began Sunday, Nov. 10th
and will continue until December
l, and during that time the mer-
curial Bob White will take to the
tall timber, with the hope of es-
Gaping dog and gun.
AS the season opened on Sunday
the pensive quail had one day of
grace, but bright and early Mon
day morning the sportsmen of the
county opened the warfare in dead
earnest, and so far as the birds are
concerned it is principally case
of "dead." Poor Bob White, the
delight of all epicures, is petted,
fondled and fed for eleven months
of the year, only to be made cor
pulent and juicy for the inevitable
slaughter which comes between
November 10th and December 1st.
Throughout the month of budding
May, the quail's season of love-
making and mating, the little
brown bird is given all possible
, consideration by the sportsman
and the farmers boy. Not for
the world would they allow harm
to come to the nest of eggs under
the stake and rider rail fence, or
to the delicate birdlet, the little
ball of brown, which came forth
as the result of the mothers four
weeks patient setting.
Through the summer and early
fall months Bob White can greet
the farmer with his plaintive
morning call from the nearby ap-
pie tree without fear of molesta-
ton but when November with its
frosts and chilling winds comes,
man becomes his implacable enemy
and with much difficulty, poor
frightened Bob finds spot to rest
his little body in safety. Every
weapon from the latest designed
hammerless to the old time muzzle
loading rifle is brought into use,
and as a result the flight of thous.
ands of the hunted birds will be
cut abruptly short as the fash and
report of the gun announce the
speeding of the leden missils or
their mission of destruction.
Reports from many parts of the
county are to the effect that the
supply of quail is abundant and 6
season of great sport is promised
Years ago the bird had reason
able chance of escape, but with
the coming of the fateful pointer
the voice of Bob White is forever
stllled after the first joyous sum

tDresden Transcript
Mrs. Minerva f. Cresap, wife of
the late Thomas Brent Cresap,
was called to the heavenly man
sions Saturday morning, October
90, 1901. The funeral was held
at the NJ. E. church, the pastor,
Rev. B. A. Stubbins, preaching
the sermon and Rev. H. P. Barnes,
D. D., assisting in the services.
Mrs. Cresap was the daughter
of Thomas and Julianna Thistle,
and was born in Cumberland,
Maryland, September Is, 1913.
She was married to Thomas Brent
Cresap February 7, 1887. He was
already located in Dresden in the
dry goods business, having come
here from Virginia several years
before their marriage. His first
store house was on the same cor
ner as their present one, now oc-
cupied by Mr.. Cure.
Mrs. Cresap accompanied her
husband to Dresden soon after
their marriage and they went to
housekeeping in DR.. Pierce's house
now owned and occupied by DR..
Conley, and there their first two
| children, Thomas Thistle and
Julianna named for the parents of
Mrs. Cresap, were born, who be-
came great pets of the childless
Doctor and "Auntie" Pierce.
Later they bought a house next to
the store and lived there for time,
then purchased the old home near
the M. E. church where most of
their lives were passed, with an
interim of few years spent in
West Carlisle without selling their
house or store house here.
Mrs. Cresap was devoted, hap
py and cheerful wife; through all
reverses of fortune and sorrows in
cident to our earthly pilgrimage,
loss of children and friends, she
endeavored to look on the bright
side and comfort her husband
"She did him good all the days of
her life and the heart Of her hus-
band did safely trust in her.
Her husband was called to his re-
ward July 10, 1878 and from that
time she looked forward to joyful
reunion in the better land.
Mrs. Cresap was raised an Epis-
copalian, but on coming to Dresden
united with the NJ. E. church, to
which Nj. Cresap already belong
ed, and remained "a faithful mem
Der all her remaining years. Prob
ably ner name is the earliest on
the records Of all the present mem
bers.
Mrs. Cresap was the mother of
eleven children, five of whom died
in infancy or early childhood.
Howard, the last of her four sons,
died at the age of twenty-five,
and Mittie, Mrs. William Senior,
"entered through the gates into
the city" December 8, 1891.
Mrs. Cresap had a remarkably
strong character. Though reared
in slave state, in the palmy days
Of slavery and accustomed to the
ministrations of slaves in her
fathers house, she was always an
abolitionist. She came of families
who inherited slaves, but who
loved liberty. Two of her great
grandfathers assisted the colonies
in their struggle against England.
Her maternal grandfather was a
colonel in the Revolution and two
of his brothers also were officers in
the continental army. Her mother 8
brother was in the navy in the war
Of 1912. She was an admirer of

vanced for the recent defeat of the
Democracy in Ohio, there is one
point upon which all who have
considered the matter, whether
they be Democrats or Republicans,
will agree and that is that it will
be exceedingly difficult for the
Democratic party to make any
progress unless it shall become
more thoroughly organized. Every
year for decade has taught the
same lesson-that lack of organiza-
tion ia almost certain to result in
defeat.
For many years the Republican
organization in this state has been
wonderfully thorough. During a
number of campaigns, Charles L..
Kurtz was the masterful politician
who commanded the army OF
workers. He was adroit and never
grew weary. He built machine
which was marvellous. He knew
many men and knew them well.
He was constantly in touch with
every election precinct and within
four days could get poll of any
county in the state. Upon his re-
tirement Dick became the master
Of the Republican machine and
with the assistance of Malloy car
ried on the campaigns of the party.
His success has been even greater
than that of Kurtz, although he is
not as shrewd a politician.
During this long period in which
Kurtz and Dick have managed
campaigns the Democrats have
been holding school for polite
ians. Some able and energetic
ehairmen have presided over Demo
cratic state committees, but a
change has been made nearl v every
year and inexperienced men have
been charged with the onerous
campaign duties. Under such con-
ditions, it was impossible to per-
feet an organization and there has
not in years been an organization
worthy of the name. Is it any
wonder, then, that Republican
majorities steadily increase?
1t may be said that the Repub-
lican party has had campaign
funds which the Democrats could
not raise and that is true, but it is
also true that when the party had
an incompetent committee, as it
usually did, men of means were not
anxious to send contributions to
:" the committee. Moreover, the lack
of funds does not excuse the fail
ure to organize to at least reas-
enable extent. Years ago, when
John G. Thompson was the master
of the Democratic machine, he
had less money than the Democrat
ic committees Of recent years have
had, and yet he had splendid or
ganization and the Democrats
were more frequently successful
than they have been since his
death. For thirty years, Ohio
had at least one Democrat in the
United States senate. Thurman
served twelve years and Pendleton,
Payne, and Brice six years each.
This succession of Democratic
senators was due in large measure
to the able management of the
campaigns.
How can the Democratic party
regain it's old time prestige in the
management of campaign9 The
Citizen believes that long step in
advance will be taken if the Dem.
ocrats will find the ablest men
available for secretary and chair
man of the state committee and
keep them permanently in those
positions.
