For moat dryland farmers in
Ctoaby County it la now an es-
tablished (act that 1956 is ano-
ther bad year. There ate some
exceptions, -where the showers
have (alien often and long e-
nough. But (or the Irrigation
farmers , 1966 now gives prom-
ise oI being not only one of the
best but one of the earliest cot-
ton years , in recent history. In
fact, it may establish a record
for early cotton. To back this
statement, we have on display
in our window an open cotton
boll brought in Monday by Mr.
J. O. Houser. The cotton was
grown by Wilson McEachern on
Mr. Ho user's (arm southwest of
town and was planted in April.
Monday was August 6. Can an-
yone beat that date (or an open
cotton boll In Crosby County.

Which also reminds me that
1966 seems to be a pretty good
year (or (ruit in Crosby County,
provided you have any trees
that have survived the drouth.
Went up to Mr. M. L. Williams'
home last week-end to look at
his three-year old orchid, tac-
tically every tree is burdened
with (ruit, and one pear tree is
particularly loaded But pe
apples and certain varieties o(
peaches and plums are all mak-
ing a good crop. i

Had a visit last Friday from
Preston Cypert, who lives Just
over the line in Dickens County.
Preston was objecting to one
part. o( a news item that appear-
ed in The Review May 31. The
story told about him being (ined
on a drunk and disturbance
charge. What he objected to was
a sentence stating that he was
"disturbing a church congrega-
tion". A(ter checking with offi-
cials we find that we were tech-
nically correct, since any group
listening to a sermon could be
classed as a congregation. But,
if it will be o( assistance to Mr.
Cypert, we will gladly change
the word to "service" instead of
"congregation" and proceed vo
give the full story. Local officers
tell us he was picked up at a
service station here and placed
in jail for being drunk. Mr. Cy-
pert, who was pretty well under
the influence, officers state, let
the town know about it from
his Jail cell. Some time after he
was placed in Jail, several men
from Cone came over to hold a
church service at the jail. Pres-
ton was creating such a distur-
bance that officers had to be
called to quiet him. Because of
this, a disturbance charge was
added to the drunk charge.

Negro Men Are
Happy After
Being Released
That three Crosbyton Negro
men were happy over the results
of the lie detector tests in Aus-
tin Monday, given in connection
with the slaying here last Wed-
nesday night of Eibert T. Wal-
lace, is putting it mildly, reports
Sheriff J. T. Herrington. The
men were freed following the
tests and the confessions of two
other suspects. __
"When they were taken outside
the building after they had been
freed the first man, Sam Cole-
man, squatted down and patteq
the ground.
Not to be outdone the second
man, Calvin Coleman, got down
on his hands and knees and
kissed the good terra (irma.
But their enthusiasm was mild
compared with that o( L. C.
Franklin. He reached down with
both hands, (illed them with
dirt, and let it trickle down over
his head.
"They were really three hap-
py Negroes," said the sheriff.

came to West Texas in 1900 or
before.

three times over the head with
a 3-foot pinch bar, which was
found under a piece of scrap tin
next to a burr-burner of a near

footprints from the station to the
place where the weapon was
concealed,. then on to the home
of one of the suspects.
Although feeling fairly cer-
tain that they were on the right
track, officers were stalemated
until just before noon Saturday
when they found $14.05 under
the home of Willie Law. Allen
had been questioned earlier but
had been tui^iSU loOae. He was
arrested Saturday afternoon in
order to take him to Austin for
the lie detector tests.
Sheriff Herrington said Law
broke first, not long after offi
cers told him the money had
been discovered. Law first
claimed Allen had struck the
blows, but later changed hi;
