cared to talk of nothing but religion.
He prayed for his neighbors, calling

OF how the Lord had blessed his soul.
He said a few days before death came
that while the old soldiers would be
having their reunion this season that
his would be in heaven,
This home was very happy one,
made so by love and devotion, 1t was
home for the minister and stranger
as well. Christ was loved here and
Christian virtue magni1ed.
His wife. who before her marriage
was Miss Garland, died number OF
years ago. Two sisters, one son and
three daughters survive him. The
sisters are in this city; they are Mrs
johnson Hill, and Mrs. McClain, the
mother of Mrs. Hattie Scott and Miss
Ella McClain The son is Burren G.
Crawford of Roc bingham. The angh-
tiers are Mrs. Alice Ford Of cherry
field. and Misses Ollie and Rachel
Crawford.

Canton, N. c., Aug. 10, 1914.
Editor Western Carolina Democrat:
An investigation of Mr.. Robert r
Reynolds's record discloses the sur
prising fact that he failed to vote for
Hon. w. T. Crawford in the election
Of 1908. -~~~sAus+vSss'-"s-~~ --".v---
Mr.. Reynolds says that his failure
10 vote that year was due to the fact
that he was absent on legal business.
The election of 1908 was one of the
most important in the history of the
Democratic party, and one of unusual
Importance to this Congressional dis
trict.
It is universally conceded that Mr.
Crawford's defeat was brought about
by the indifference of many Demo
Gratis and their failure to vote.
How the friends Of Mr.. Crawford
will view this negligence on the part
of Mr.. Reynolds and his Indifference
remains to be determined. adv Ito

A Very Cold Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving day in 1871 was re-
markable for the bitterly cold weather
which prevailed over a large portion of
our land. At many points in the north
west the mercury fell from 80 to 40 de-
grees below zero. while at many places
I'm New England 1t marked from IL to
20 degrees below. The great feature
of the day was a prizefight between
Jem Mace, the famous gypsy ex-cham-
pion of England. and Joe Coburn, an
Irish-American pugilist, for the cham
pionship OF the world and $1,000 1t
was fought at Montgomery station,
near Bay st. Louis. Miss. and was
witnessed by 500 spectators. Neither
man seemed anxious to fight, and after
they had spared for three hours and
thirty-eight minutes without materially
damaging each other the referee de-
clared the fight draw.

carbon paper to a card and then fill in
the outline afterward by means of a

exercised In making a firm outline and
applying the ink smoothly, for the sill

Appropriate Designs Help to Lend
Flavor to Thanksgiving Repast.
A great deal of the success of n din
ner party depends upon the place
cards, although they are apparently a
very small detail of the table.
But any woman who entertains a
good deal knows that quaint or I'M
usual favors and cards call forth gen.
eral enthusiasm and interest among
the guests and give topic of CONVEX
sation which lends cordially to the
occasion. when otherwise there would
be a stiffness and awkwardness at the
start which it would be somewhat diff
icult to overthrow.
Thanksgiving is usually the time for
a family reunion. and since families
meet together upon such occasions year
after year it is especially important to
introduce as much novelty in the table
itself as possible.
Silhouette pictures. used for place
cards, form interesting and acceptable
accessories for the table. These. out
