l desire in retiring as Editor to COM
mend my successor to the readers
and patrons of this publication. Dur

all circumstances.

perienced in newspape work. There

Gard Of Thanks

To our neighbors and friends who
so kindly aud in SO many ways as
sisted US during the recent sickness
in our family, we wish to express
our sincere thanks and deepest graf
itude. And especially do we thank
those who were SO thoughtful of
Orlin in his last illness and sent him
SO many beautiful flowers from time
to time. He was so sick, and suf-
tered so much, yet he often spoke OF
and called to see the flowers that
had been sent him. 1t was such a
pleasure to him and so much comfort
to US to know that he had been so
kindly remembered.
To each and every one who in any
way rendered US assistance or gave
us words of consolation during these
dark and dreary hours we thank from
the very depths Of our hearts and
assure each of you that by your
many acts of kindness and words of
consolation, it made our burden
easier to bear
Very respectfully,
A. G. Moore aud family.

TAXES DUE.

The state and county taxes are
now due and to relieve the sheriff of
great responsibility, should be paid
at once. On December l, l, as
sheriff of Crittenden county, am re-
quired to settle with the state, and
if should fail to collect these taxes
it would work hardship on me as
we'll as my bondsmen, to have to pay
your taxes. So come up at
once and settle your taxes promptly.
Do not wait for the penalty, or even
a nearness to 1t, but pay them now
if you possibly can.
In the near future l will have
appointments for myself or one of
my deputies for each precinct aud
to meet US at the designated time
and place to receive a clear receipt
for your taxes, will aid your
sheriff more than you may perhaps
imagine.
Now, as my whole desire is to try
to collect the taxes for this year
without a single levy, or even pen
Atty, l again urge you to aid me in
this by coming to these places or to
my office at Marion and settling
same.
Hoping every tax payer of Critten-
den county will aid me by an early
settlement of the common burden
wrestling upon all In proportion as
God has blessed him,
l am yours very respectfully.

Blue found the damage to crops from

Along the line of the eleven mile

crops is estimated at from fifty to
seventy.fve thousand dollars, while
in all the creeks and branch bottoms
all over the county the damage is
great. Mr.. Blue reports so acres of
fine corn a total loss on his farm,
which is under the management of

The BOYCOTT.

The large number of deaths among
babies in the recent severely warm
weather has been altogether out of
proportion to the number in previous
years from the same cause. The
reason given by one doctor, is that
the babies have not been taken out
enough ID the air. In his own prac-
tice he said he knew of three babies
whose lives could have been saved If
they had been taken out for rides on
the street cars.
The parents OF these babies did not
have automobiles or horses. They
coulan't afford to hire from the livery
~f6ble. But the street cars were
funning and six rides for quarter

THE CRITTENDEN RECORD. PRESS
goes to its 4, 600 readers this week
under a change of ownership and
and under new editorial management
n. K. Gaines having leased the
plant from S. NJ. jenkins for the
term of II months, with the privilege
and expectation of buying at any
time during this period. The new
Editor, while stranger to many Of
you, comes from the good old town
of Sturgis, in the proud and rich
county Of Union to a town and coun
ty inhabited by as true and loyal citi-
zens as can be found in the Common
wealth of the time-honored State of
Kentucky, to cast his lot with them
for ever and aye. The aim of the
Editor will be to devote his whole
time aud energy in an effort to make
the RECORD. PRESS second to no
county paper in the State, and above
a i, to protect the interests of the
people of Crlttenden county. Its
politics will be Democratic and yet
realizing the fact that the good Re-
lublicans Of the proud old county Of
CrittendeD, have no party organ, its
columns will be open to them for a
iiir deal. In no instance will an
article from either side be acce pied
that is calculated to stir up strife or
"a ut clean. If man gets the
idea 10 his head that he is bound to
raise III, let him do so in his own
neighborhood, at home and not
through the columns of the RECORD
PRESS. In leaving my native coun.
ty, Union, where l have friends l
love with the love that Jonathan had
for David and where my sweet moth
er sleeps the long sleep in the light
of the same sun that warns and
makes bright and glad the hearts of
Gods people every where, do so
with the full knowledge that l am
casting my lot with as proud and
loyal people as live under the banner
of Old Glory and to this people l
take off my hat. In casting my eye
about for a good town l found none
that suited me so well as Marion,
and here, for veal or woe l cast my
lot with her proud people and to
stand loyal to them and the citizen
ship of Crittenden in their strug gle
for right and supremacy.

During the service at the grave O

During the service at the grave of
Orlln Moore in the beautiful New
Marion cemetery Sunday evening
while the lovely casket was resting
over the grave, one of the most touch
ing sights ever witnessed was the
long procession of his class mates and
Sunday School GLASS, girls and boys
marching up the beautiful drive way,
in the glistening evening sunlight,
with uncovered heads. 1t was indeed
touching, scarcely an eye witnes sing
1t undimmed By tears. The burial
service, in the hands of the we'll
known undertaking establishment of
Num- & Tucker, was conducted with
out hitch and was one of the most
beautiful ever witnessed. One Of

Sells Growing Crop Of Corn.

Fearing the total destruction of his
crop Of 80 acres of fine corn in the
river bottom, Newt Bracy, last week,
sold 1t to Seldom Ainsworth for $3.50.
The crop is promising and If not
damaged by the overflow will be
worth more than three times the
price paid. Men with money can take
these risks.

cause n men we're standing out for
FIVE or six preferred runs-not that
they wanted them so much for them
selves, but because they didn't want
other employees Of the company to
have them-the parents of these
babies would not take them out rid
ing. These three instances are from
the observation of one physician.
There may have been many others.
The loss of these three babies was
a pretty severe sacrifice to sympathy
for men who refused TO return to
work because they could not Gust five
or six crews of old employees from
the five or six preferred runs they
had. Wasn't 1t?
Now, the dangerous period of the
summer is yet to eome-the last half
of July and the month of August.
How many more babies are to be sac
rlfced to this boycott which can new
er result IN anything. 1t can never
give these men the five or six prefer
red runs. Change the rosy checks
IF every cooing, dimpled baby in this
city to fhe deathly pallor and the
drawn and wasted:look and nothing
would come of it. Why then keep
up this awful, useless sacrifice?
1t is on the poor people that the
boycott rests heavily-not upon those
with automobiles, and horses and
buggies. And it is on the women
and babies-not the strong men. Is
the sacrifice worth while?
The strike, as a strike, is at an
end. All that remains is the boy
colt. ANY talk of SETTLING the
strike" is childish. AS was said in
The Courier Wednesday:
Any further talk of SETTLING the
strike" should be put in its true light
as mischievous. No good or honest
purpose can be behind any such sug-
gestion. 1t can only be with the
object of offering false hopes or
fomenting trouble.
This issue is not now the atrike,
but the boycott. That is all there is
left. And the boycott affects the
very people who can least stand it.
1t has cut off for them their amuse-
ment parks, their places for getting
away from the summer heat, their
cheap and convenient method of gain
ing fresh air and escapement from
dust and worry. 1t has imposed
burdens on working people who al
ready have onerous enough burdens.
The employer may drive home in the
cool breeze, but the little stenograph-
err and the clerk must trudge the hot
ami g lsty streets. and all TOO often,
because her employer-God pity him
thinks it will help his business.
The issue is not now the strike,
for that is ended, but the boycott
which is causing infinite hardship
and cannot by any possibility have
any result. EVANSVILLE COURIER.
We say Amen to this. We have
seen enough of strikes and boycotts
to know the affects and better still to
know the class most responsible for

EXTRA SESSION TALK.

Tallahassee. The idea Of ealing an
extra session has never entered my
mind" said Governor Gilehrist this
morning. Il can see no need Of an
extra session and 90 far as l am con
eemed, there IS no foundation for such
umWS"
The extra session talk has made It's
biennial appearance and IS vaguely
floating through the air but the state
ment made BY the governor puts it all
at rest. Governor Gilehrst when
questioned replied frankly and straight
to the point that such rumOrs are not
authoritative.
