PETER TREPICH, so, employed

here several years. Trepich boarded

robbery theory. advanced because Of
a report that Mrs. Alar had drawn
81. 500 from a bank yesterday. was

say If there had been more money

note. which, freely translated. says:
"This is what you got for being
against the kaiser. You have do
mated To Red Cross and you have
said the kaiser could go to hell.
Don't look for us for anyone who
does will get the same dose"

chase signs have disappeared from

TO smash the two nations which most
conspicuously make democracy unsafe

COTTON COMING IN

The big cotton crop of Marion coun-
ty, the largest and best since the old
cotton growing days, of civil war days
is moving quite lively now, though
picking is by no means under full
way as yet.
George Giles & Co. have received
about twelve bales so far, and to-
morrow will probably bring almost
as much as all of the previous re-
|ceipts.
We keep hearing of large fields of
cotton that we did not know existed
before. Mr.. Beuchler of the Anthony
Farms has just begin picking on his
140 acres. The Hawthorne Company
have almost one hundred people in
their four hundred acre field pulling
cut the fieecy staple. Mr.. S. T. Sis
trunk has fifty-five acres out on the
Sharps Ferry road, that is mighty
fine. Charlie Chazal and Albert Har-
Kiss are picking their twenty acres, on
the eastern limits of town, which is
mighty fine long staple and they are
beginning to pick.
