Tom Glascock, one of the
characters of the Brunswick
neighborhood, died at his home
in the bottoms Friday and was
inferred in the lower cemetery
Sunday.
For years he has been a fami-
liar and unique figure at and
around Brunswick. Of power
full build, fearing nothing, he
was yet gentle and kind and one
of the staunchest friends of
those he fancied. Unrecon-
structed positively, he lived and
died in the atmosphere of the
war and gloried in his achieve
ments with Quantrell.'
Tom Glascock reached the age
of 73 andswas content to live
and jubilate asf time went on,
caring nothing for more than
sufficient to meet his current
needs and they were not many.
Soldering has imbued many
with no higher aspirations than
had Tom.

COUNTY BUMPER CROP
Wheat Being Threshed and Stored
Harvesting Nearly Over
Corn Excellent

Threshing machines are at 1t
or in shape to fail out the great
crop of wheat and oats in the
county. But little of the crop
remains to be cut and is dead
ripe. Hay viii be gone into
next week and there is a fine
crop of timothy, more alfalfa
than ever before and the clover
is fine. Corn is coming to the
front as never before and even
that which ives recently planted
is showing up in fine style and
promises to beat the frost. Wheat
which is being threshed is being
stored either in graneries at
home or in the various elevators
in the county. Millars and ele-
vator buyers will make no offer
on either wheat or oats, tho we
understand that 60 cts. has been
offered for all that can be had
by one of the big stock men IN
this neigbborhood.
A few crops which have been
threshed near Dalton have yield
ed IS bushels. and the elevator
at that point is offering for the
next few days $500. Storage
space has been engaged by sew
eral. At Brunswick a few crops
have been threshed and the top
yield reported SO far has been
81 bushels and the elevator is Of
fering s2.00 for the next few
days. At Salisbury no thresh-
ing has been done from which to
form an idea of yield and no
market has been established.
The maximum price for wheat
now d part Of the Hoover Food
Control Bill is 81. rs but Senator
Reed stands pat for q maximum
of not less than $500 and unless
this amendment goes, the food
bill will likely not go thru Satur-
day, the dats set for senate vote
on it.

Our Senators Right

Senators Reed and Stone have
stood all along for what they
thot and believed were for the
best interests. not only of their
constituents but for the whole
United States and from the be-
ginning, sychophantic lickspit-
ties have done their little best
to discredit the two most promi-
nent figures in congress. The
public should be kept informed
of their efforts, read their argu-
ments and decide for itself whe-
ther there is and has been merit
In their utterances, not be fore
ed in any way or by any means
to accept what metropolitan
press has to say about them,
biased as it has been and is.
Here is an excerpt from Sen.
Reeds speech on the food con-
troll bill; read it and see if you
don't see it the same way he
does.
IF the farmers free and
open market is to be taken
away from him so that he can
not get the high prices which
the present world demand
brings, then he should not be
compelled to buy that which he
needs in a market where the
high prices of the world are
allowed to run free and unre-
stricted.
In other words. I have insist
ed that if the farmers prices
are controlled by any govern
mental agency, then the manu-
facturer's prices must be SINH
larly controlled.
/ have insisted that the farm
er should not be treated worse
than the manufacturer"
