One evening soon after we
had located in our temporary
quarters out in the Rochester
addition, a slender gentlemanly
looking man appeared at the
front door and handed a little
box of lovely flowers for the
mistress of the house.

smiles and good cheer all about.

Rev. l.. J. Millikan
Stays at st. Pauls.

With the reading of appoint
ments the Los Angeles-Arizona
districts, the conference of the
Methodist church, South, last
night closed a very successful
meeting in this city. The fea-
ture of the announced appoint
ments locally is the fact that
Rev. l.. J. Milliken, pastor of
st. Pauls church, is to remain
in San Bernardino. People gen.
orally in this city will be doubly
pleased at this news as Rev.
Milliken and family have endear-
ed themselves to the people
here, and particularly to the
church which he has so faith
fully served, and whose guidance
has made wonderful growth
spiritually and otherwise.
The people of st. Paul's
Methodist Church, South, never
appreciated the splendid judg-
ment of the bishop more than
they did last evening when he
read the appointments, and they
heard that they were to have
their beloved pastor and his
wife, Rev. and Mrs. l.. J. Milli-
kan for still another year. They
have enjoyed every session OF
the conference, hut always that
anxiety has been uppermost, sc
that last night their JOY knew
no bounds, and the last hall
hour was somewhat in the nat
ure of an informal reception,
Condition of the church, spirit
ually, socially. and financially,
has never been better, and botf
pastor and people feel that ther,
are great things in store fol
them.

The American Legion

1t is well known by our read
ers that early this year a move.
ment was set on foot by some of
our soldiers returned from over
seas service to organize into
some kind of an association, to
preserve the military traditions,
and lesson learned from the
great war.
This movement has met with
approval of the majority of our
soldiers, sailors and marines,
and in many states chapters
have already been formed, with
local county organizations.
From the daily news we learn
that the Governor of Missouri
has issued a proclamation, desig.
mating November, llth., (the an
niversary of the signing of the
armistice) as American Legion
Day.
Headquarters of the American
Legion in New York has announc.
ed that approximately 1000, 0OC
veterans of the world war will
be represented at the first nat.
ional convention of the Legion
which will be held in Min.
neapolis, Minn., on November
10, II and IL, the constitution
provided for representation by
four delegates and four alter
mates from each state, with one
alternate for each 1000 mem.
bers.
Here in Crittenden county this
movement was started at the
dinner given our boys by the
Good Road Association early ir
June, and it is a matter of much
regret that no further action wa!
taken by the officers elected al
that dinner, which would have
resulted in a permanent organi
zation.
The Press believes in Crittend
en- County, and stands ready t
aid, in every way, to the limit o.
its power, in the upbuilding o.
this county. We believe thai
a county organization of oul
boys would be a mighty goot
thing good for the boys an,
good for the county.

WILBORN DEFEATS KOON by A MAJORITY OF 1872

Edwin p. Morrow is to be the
next Governor of Kentucky.
That he made a campaign
that appealed to the masses OF
voters is shown by the surpris-
ing vote.
The Republican candidate in
vaded Democratic strongholds
and literally swept his opponent
off his field, carrying districts
that even ock-ribbed Republi-
cans had hardly expected him to
hold his own.
While complete figures are
not available at the time this is
written, Morrow has carried
the Third, Fourth. Fifth, Sixth,
Tenth and Eleventh Congress
sional Districts, with the Ninth
in doubt. Ii is known that he
carried Sc counties with ten more
to be heard from, five of these in
the Eleventh District where it is
hardly TO be expected that the
Democratic candidate will do
well. He carried only two
counties in the First District,
Crittenden being one Of them.
