Mr. Crawford, known as "Lont," had s uffered a stroke of paralysis a few days prior to his death. - Widely known throughout this sec tion, and a highly respected citizen, Mr. Crawford was the youngest of the 17 children of George Crawfor). The deceased made his home; at the old Crawford homestead, - where h;s lather brought up his large family. Mr. Crawford was a member of the Baptist church, and had a wide circle VI 111C11U9. He is survived by one brother, John Crawford, of Clay county, the -eldest child of the- family," who recently celebrated his ninety-seventh birhtday, and who was . physically unable to attend the funeral ; one daughter, Miss Ujia Crawford, who resides in Texas;" and five . sons, George, of Texas, Leonidas, who lives in Oregon, Laddie, who recently . returned to this county from Texas; and Elrrur anu ciigeiic. me iwu lonci mmi with their father here.

Thursday, with Mrs. Newille Sloan, chairman pre- The Shepard-Towner (mother's aid) bill having passed the United States Senate, the League decided to write Senator. R. J. Roane, off the thirty third State senatorial district, and Represenative A. S. Solesbee repre senting Macon county, again with ref erence to action by the State legis lature on this bill- North Carolina can not participate in the benefits of the measure, it was pointed out, without action by this state. Letters from Senators F, M. Sim mons and Lee S. Overman and State Senator . Roane and Representative Solesbee, replying to communications from the League, were read. The two' United States senators .had been written with reference to the Shepard-Towner bill, while the State legislators had been addressed, on the subject of the bills sponsored by the legislative council. A proposed . valentine party, ,, for members of, the organization and their husbands, " was discussed. At that ,tjme, there, probably will be brief itklks, and, a report from the commit i tee on the health survey ; - ' ; , lluch interest was shoVh and' the attendance was large enough to to tncouraging,' officials said. , ' 4, Chamber Plans Booklet The Chamber of Commerce is plan ning to issue, in the near future an attractive booklet, setting forth, by word and photograph, the attractions andt advantages of Franklin and Ma con county. ' , ' Of the funds subscribed last ' sum mer to finance the Chamber of Commerce to January 1, 1927, there remains unpaid a sufficient ' amount to pay for publication of a handsome bceklet. ' , . r But the board of directors is un willing to order the booklet printed without having the funds either in hand, or definitely promised to be paid by a definite date. The board is handicapped, too, in planning for the booklet by the fact that it does not know how much money will be available in the next 30 days fo: the purpose. . .. Subscribers to the Chamber or Com merce, who have not paid their subscriptions in full, therefore, are being requested: (1) to pay the bal ance due at once, if possible ; (2) if inconvenient tq pay the entire amount, to make a partial pavmei.t Oil the balance due, and to indicate to the Secretary or Treasurer on what date the remainder will be paid ; (3) in any case, to inform the Secre tary or Treasurer what the organiza tion may expect. . If the amount will be forthcoming within a few days, that information will be appreciated; if it will be a month before the organization c::n count f upon it,., members will do . a favor by ,. so 'stating and even if the subscription is not to be paid shortly, the organization would like to be so informed, so that it can avoid counting upon .that particular subscroption for financing the book let. . Study Club Meets Hugh i Walpole . and his work , was the subject discussed at the last . meeting , of the , Franklin Study Club, held Monday of last week at the home of Mrs. J. S. Conlcy. - Two paners were read. One, by 'Mrs. Neville Sloan,- dealt with the 'Three Old Ladies," while the second, by Mrs. iE. J. Pirs, discussed Wal- pole's life and work. The club discussed holding an art exhibit, here, project proposed by the federation at, ' women s uuds, ot . wnicn me Diuay iud is a memucr, j and also a picture memory contest. The latter is to be held in the local school, if the suggestion meets with !the approval of the principal,' The hostess of the afternoon served .' delicious - refreshments, and a pleas ant social hour was spent at the conclusion of the regular program. .PICTURE REVIEW A good looking young American, ( whose feats of horsemanship and quick . wits won the audience, pre sumably was the., hero of "Hands Across the Border," the picture shown at the Idle Hour Theatre Tuesday : night. The actual hero, however, was a beautiful white horse, one which showed evidences not only of long, expert training, but of extra- r ordinary intelligence. The picture, laid on the Mexican border, presumably seeks to " create a biter spirit .between the peop'p . on opposite sides of the Rio Grande and is well planned for that effect. Additional merit lay in the fact that it contained no dull moments. PREFERS RIVER TO JAIL A young man said by officers to have been Ellis routs, of this county, led officers a two-mile foot race here early- Wednesday morning, and then escaped by plunging . into the Little Tennessee Rivr and swimming across at a point where the stream is about 75 yards in width. The officers had posted themselves at the town bridge, they said, ex pecting a liquor car. The car in which Fouts and several compan ions were riding approached, and Fouts, for whom the officers have a warrant on a minor charge, was not recognized and the car was aboir to be passed. . But, the young man, appartently fearing arrest, leaped from the car, and started, on foot, straight up the river through the fields. Forgetting the liquor car, the offi cers gave chase for two miles, Fouts making good his get-away when he swam the river. - EXECUTOR'S NOTICE Having qualified as executor of W. H.'

ORE LIMES BIG PROFIT Quick money for farmers lies in hog raising, according to Alex Moore, former sheriff of Macon county and prominent farmer.
