CROPS MAKING
GREAT STRIDE
Says DIRECTOR
WILL VISIT SEVERAL POINTS IN
THE COUNTY DURING THE
COMING WEEk-FOUND EXCEL
LENT CROPS OF GROWING
GRAIN NEAR BLUFF SPRINGS
AND CENTURY.

In his weekly letter to the farmers
of Escambta county, Agricultural Ad-
wiser McQuarrie states that the pros
poets in every section are most graft
flying. Mr.. McQuarrie will visit Myr-
tie Grove on Tuesday, the Olive sec
ton on Wednesday, Oak Grove on
Thursday and Walnut Hill on Friday,
farmers of those sections on those
days:
The following is Mr. McQuarries
letter:
To the Farmers, Truckers and Others
of Escambia County:
Crops during the last ten days have
made wonderful strides, particularly
so where methods of caring for them
were along improved lines. The stand
of both corn and cotton is generally
above the average and the weather
has been very favorable. Some farm
ers are complaining of it being too
dry, but most of those doing that are
the ones that have not prepared their
soil early and properly SO as to have
a good seed bed at planting time.
Have been in the Bluff Springs and
Century sections during the week and
was ratified to f1nd such excellent
crops of oats all through that region.
This crop will be ready to cut in Il
week or two now and if good weather
should prevail, the farmers will get
large yields. Have been recommend
ing the cutting of the crop when 1t
gets into the rough stage for best feed,
but where a man wants to save seed
for next year, he had better cut them
when the crop shows slight yellow
tinge and the grain at that stage will
mature fully after cutting. don't de-
lay cutting until fully mature. IL you
do you will lose a lot of seed by
shattering.
The Irish potato crop is good in
some sections. I am sorry to find
farmers marketing so many small po-
tatoes. All those less than an inch
and a half IN diameter should not be
sent to market but kept at home and
fed to stock. This practice OF mix
ing the small and the large has a de-
dressing influence on the market price.
A number Of housekeepers would
rather buy the old potatoes from the
north that is OF uniform size than
be bothered with the small new ones.
and where a large per centage of those
small ones find their way into the
garbage can it adds considerably TO
the original cost. Then / would
urge upon all the Irish potato growers
not to mix the marble sizes with the
larger sizes, and very soon the mar
ket will improve in prices.
Next week l expect to visit; Myrtle
Grove on Tuesday. May 18th. The
Olive section on Wednesday, May 18th.

TICKET SALE
GRATIFYING
MUCH PUBLIC INTEREST is
AROUSED AND THE PURCHASE
OF SEASON TICKETS WAS
HEAVY.

The sale of tickets for Pensa cola s
First Chautauqua commenced yester-
dayswith most gratifying results.
AS might have been expected IN
face of such an unprecedented aggre-
CATION of talent and variety OF enter
tainments, all to be produced WITHIN
the space of six days. May 26th to 5lst,
a considerable amount OF PUBIC inter-
est has been aroused; and single and
double season tickets at SO and So re-
spective1y, are being bought up rapidly.
The fear has been already expressed,
and will develop as the date OF pro-
duction draws nearer, that the only
building adapted for the purpose, the
new Keyser Auditorium, will prove too
small for the crowds who viii gather
in the city for Chautauqua week
Especially is that fear apparent
when it is borne in mind that the rail-
roads are alive to what week OF
Chautauqua will mean to the city, and
are advertising cheap excursions 10
Pensacola for the occasion from all
parts of the southern states.
In accordance with the law safe
guarding public buildings the Chau-
tauqua committee are only authorized
to issue a specified number OF tickets;
and when they are disposed or the
limit will have been reached
Mrs. F. I. Mullin, representative
of the Alkahest Chautauqua Assocla-
ton Of Atlanta, has been engaged by
the Pensacola Association to call upon
the leading families in the city re-
specting season tickets. Mrs. Muilln
is an entertaining talker and an en-
thusiast in Chautauqua matters; she
has the details IS to ability and records
of every artist or performer or orator
who viii take part in the Chautauqua
at her finger tips, and those VINO
don't want TO buy tickets from her
when she calls had better place their
money in a safety deposit vault and
Jose the key.

Some unexpected things are brought
to light in a mission. For example,
at one Of the night meetings there
We're five nationa1ities represented in
making testimonies to the power of
Jesus Christ over their lives-two
Norwegian, Italian. British, American,
Greek There were some from the
ships lying in the harbor, one boy from
British steamer, who said lady in
New Zealand had asked him into a
Bible class where he wished to get
out. but where he was converted. one
young man recently converted in a
Billy Sunday meeting in another place,
and derelict Christians stranded on
the reefs OF the down town life. TAX

some Christians not perhaps identi-
fed with any local church, together
with church members used only to up
town work, and while the crowds have
not been large, the location being
rather an unfrequented one-a vacant
lot next to Ray Hardware Company
still, the remarkable power of the
meeting is felt and interest is shown.
1t will run through the month and
many may be profited by dropping in

different types and races, widely diff
fering in every thing except their need
of a Savior.
Mr.. Kunasz, the italian leader does
not claim to be a preacher, and has
been converted only seven years after
a prison life, but he Is on fire with
his new found experience which he
wishes to tell to every sinner. Mr. and
Mrs. j. B. Bouterse Miss Hattie Whit
son, the little British Ensign, and
others have been of valuable aid in
the music.
Drs- w. S .Moffat. NJ. H. Holt. J. C.
Dickinson. and other out-of- town
preachers have been on the platform
from time to time, encoura ging the
work. 1t Is of character to meet
the needs of the people most desired

the pretty girl who ruled Vancouver
Chinatown and who killed herself
here Monday, was, the police today
declare, Esther Mitchell the central
figure in one of the most sensational
criminal cases in the history of Sc
attic, according to evidence brought
out at the coroners inquest today.
In 1905. after Miss Mitchell ran
away from her home at Corvallis, Ore,
in company with Franz e. Crefeld. a
leader Of a Holy Roller sect, George
Mitchell, brother of the girl followed
them to Seattle and shot and killed
CrefieId in a crowded business street
After a sensational trial, George was
acquitted. When he went TO the train
to return to his home in Oregon. his
sister Esther, went to the station to
bid him good-by.
AS he turned to go, his sister shot
him through the head. She was tried
for murder acquitted on an insanity
plea and sent to the Western Wash
ington hospital for the insane, where
she remained until 1909, when she
escaped and disappeared. Two years
ago it was reported she was living in
Chinatown, but no effort was made to
apprehend her.
Mrs CreheId, who accompanied her
husband and Esther Mitchell in their
fight from Corvallis was arrested, as
an accomplice in the murder of George
Mitchell committed suicide while in
jail awaiting trial.
Called Himself Messiah.
Crefeld had assumed the title OF
Joshua" of which the name Jesus"
is another form in Hebrew. and con-
WINGED his women followers that he
was the reincarnation Of the Naza-
rene. To the many wives and natrons
whom he lured from their homes, he
promised that their children should
be great religious prophets.
One of his victims was 17-year- old
Esther Mitchell, and another was her
married sister, both of whom foresook
their families TO follow the self-styled
Joshua"
