Hon Hugh Crawford arrived home
in Nilliston Tuesday night from Nash
vile where he has served as Represen.
t,tive from this county in the Sixty
Second General Assembly of the state.
While there has been a great deal OF
criticism over the state, in this county
along with Others, of the dolngs of this
body, there has been no criticism of
Mr., Crawford's acts as the repre- sen a
tive from this county, SO far as The
Falcon has heard. He voted against
deferring taxpayments, against the
$3.50 bonus steal for members of
the legislature, and has voted gener-
ally in a way that meets thelapproval of
many constituents VINO have not hesita-
ted so to express themselves.
Thru the local banks the sweet pc.
tato growers association secured funds
recently and bought 100 bushels Of
seed potatoes which were distributed
to farmers agreeing to plant, the seed
to be paid for in the fall, This puts
the concern on an a,tual working basis
and sets it in shape to go right ahead
with the work of growing crop sof
vans for market. Some farmers are
buying seed on their own account for
bedding and the outlook is flor at least
50 or 90 acres of market potat les to be
grown in this vicinity the coming sea
son.
