WE FOUND RUSK-
By J. R. O
Although sad over the loss of an-
other friend of ours, the mother of
Mrs. H. 0. Ward, who passed away
Monday night, the writer is glad to
be of some small service again in
helping to edit and publish this issue
of The Cherokeean and mingling
with old friends made while here
last year.
Since leaving Rusk the first of
this year, we have rubbed elbows
with folks in several towns Kilgoi-e
Conroe and other points. We have
worked where there was hustle and
bustle in Conroe when you had to go
in such a pace that you'd forget a
meal occasionally and some you
would remember long after having
partaken of them. But, it's good to
be back even for three days with the
splendid citizens of Rusk.
MRS. W. T. LYLE
PASSED AWAY
AT HOME OF HER DAUGHTER
MRS. H. O. WARD
Passed along the north side of the
square where you have FITTS and
was pleased to see a canning estab-
lishment, which is a new innovation
for Rusk and folks were getting to-
matoes, beans and other vegetables
into cans with pretty lithographed
labels on the cans, they will sure help
to keep the belt lines out this winter.
Noticed Thelnm down at the Lead-
er, still smiling just the same as she
did when she was single. The only
way you could stop her cherry hello
and smiles would be to plant her un-
der six feet of dirt.
Mrs. W. T. Lyle, age 81, passed
away Monday night at the home of
her du'aghter, Mrs. H. 0. Ward, after
an illness of nearly two week's dura-
tion. She had been making her home
here for several months.
Her life began in Cherokee Coun-
ty, being born in Lerissa community,
| but at the age of three she removed
with her parents to Acton, Hood coun-
ty, where she grew to young woman-
hood and in 1868 was married to W.
T. Lyle, who preceded her in death
' in 1911. There were eight children,
' all of whom survive and those present
in her last hours were; Mrs. J. Ed
Brown of Hearne, Mrs. J. H. Payne
of Winters, W. F. Lyle and Mrs. H. j
O Ward of Rusk, Herschell N. Lyle of!
Winters. Three were not present; A. j
E. Lyle of Olney, W. E. Lyle of Step- j
henville and Mrs. J. E. Shelton of j
Brownfield. Fifteen grand-children;
and five great grand-children also!
survive.
She had been a member of the j
Presbyterian church since early girl
hood and her life was filled with lov-i
! ing service to her family and friends.
Early Wednesday morning the
family bore her remains Kick to thej
old home in Hood county, where fun-
, eral rites were conducted and inter-
I ment made. Keever and Summers,
local undertakers were in charge of

Sorry to note the loss by fire of
the Astor Theatre, but we're betting
Mr. Houston comes right back with
even a better equipment for the
show fans of Rusk, who have enjoy-
ed many fine programs he has pre-
sented here.
And there was Pope Guinn, effi-
cient deputy Tax Collector, who had
again learned how to fill out tax re-
ceipts. And he extended us a glad
hand and a good cigar. Maybe? we'll
get used to cigars again Pope, and
get off of Durahm Dust.
And Ben Pryor was counting the
days until candidate season again. He
should have been a politician instead
of a plumber.
Stanley Tucker is delivering the
goods as manager of The Leader
which is a new role for him since we
were here and he says he's been able
to incrasee the portion of buttermilk
and green peas, which necessitated
the recent purcase of a new belt—
one of the Leader's best ones too.
Regretted to see a big scar on Ben
Chazanow's forehead caused by an
injury in ai car wreck but the Leader
store looks more natural since he re-
turned to work there and his many
friends appreciate him just the same.
There are no scars on Ben's heart be-
cause he don't get serious, girls. He
just don't .
EXPIRES AT GALLATIN
Rev. J. P. Lane of Gallatin died
at his home at that place Tues. morn-!
ing at 9;30 A. M. following an ill-
ness of several weeks. He had been :
indisposed for about seven months,, i
He had reached the age of 81, in Nov-;
ember, 1932,
Rev. Lane, an ardent Christian,!
had been a Methodist minister fori
more than 51 years, and was prom-i
linently |inc^i^enfied with the work j
of the Texas Conference for many
years before retiring to the ranks
of superannuates.
In addition to his career as a
church worker, Mr. Lane entered
politics to some extent, being always
identified as a jstaunch prohibition
worker. He was a member of the 38
State Legislature from Cherokee
county, and was known as a politi-
cian who stood for what he thought
to be right in the face of all opposi-
tion.
Mrs. Lane preceded her husband
E. H. Kirkland, lepresentative of
the Southern Pine Lumber Co. was in
Rusk Monday and Tuesday securing
trucks to haul from the company land
in this county, 2000 pieces of piling
which is wanted on a rush order for
the new Southern Pacific Depot, con-
struction of which has begun in the
city of Houston and which when
completed, will represent a cost of
several million dollars. When Chero-
keeans visit Houston and see the new
structure, they will sense a certain
pride in knowing that some of the
material used came from their home
county.
Mr. Kirkland stated that quite an
impetus is being experienced in the
buying of pine and hardwood lumber
and that all lumber companies were
receiving orders daily and that an ad-
vance of from $5 to $7 per thousand
feet had already occurred.

A big negro, who officers describ-
ed as dangerous, sawed his way from
the city jail here Sunday morning
about 7 o'clock after having been iock
fed up Sunday night. Night officers
picked up the neg-ro on suspicon and
found a .45 calibre colt pistol and a
bunch of skelton keys on his person
This jail is too small for me wilh
as much as they have on me, Cleve-
land, negro, who was confined in the
jail, but did not attept to escape,
quoteed the negro as saying.
According to Jordan, the negro
concealed a hack saw blade in his
shoe. He worked on the latch which
holds the door to an upstairs cell
practically all night, and succeeded
in breaking it this mornng. The front
door of the jail remains open most
of the time; so the negro walked out
of the bastiie unnoticed.
Asked why he did not spread the
alarm, the other negro who was con-
fined in the jail said he was afraid of
that big nigger. Chief of Police F. M.
Mills said he believes the negro had
a criminal record. He intended finger
printing hm ths momng and investi-
gating as to whether he was wanted.
Although officers launched a search
for him immediatey upon learning of
his escape, nothng had been found
of the negro late this morning. —

R. F. C. NEWS
The work this week has been con-
fined almost entirely to working the
branches and cutting back the growth
so as to entirely stamp out the mos-
quito pest. There has been a crew at
work cleaning up at the East Side
Park cutting back the underbrush so
that pick-nickers can have full ad-
vantages of that place. The communi-
ty garden has been worked and the
products from this are being canned
at the local canning plant which is
also affording considerable labor. Re-
pairs to the race track am also under
way this week with a crew working
with the local highway contractors in
spreading more clay on the track.
However, there will have to be rain
before much progress can be made at
the track.
The committee finds that there is
a limited amount of demands for work
and it is very gratifying to the com-
ittee to know that the conditions loca-
lly are able to absorb the idle bands.
COITON MEETING HELD
MONDAY AT JACKSONVILLE
About 200 farmers and others in-
terested in the cotton acreage reduc-
tion work of the government gather-
ed at the municipal auditorium Mon-
day afternoon at 2 o'clock to hear
the act explained by W. H. Washing-
ton, county agent, and members of
the committee assisting in the work.
C. S. __usley of Craft and E. P.
Palmer of Alto were the members of
the committee who spoke.
Cotton growers are given the
choice of two plans for receiving the
benefits of the Farm relief Act as
applied to cotton, it was explained.
By contracting with the Federal
Government to retire not less than
25 per cent nor more than 50 per
cent of the cotton crop now planted,
'he farmer may either;—
Plan No. 1
Receive in cash this summer fron
$6 to $12 per acre for the land re-
tired from cotton, the exact amount
depending on what the land ordinar-
ily yields.
An option at 6 cents per pound on
as many bales of government owned
cotton as the acreage retired would
ordinarily yield. The Government may
sell this cotton at some favorable
tinr-- during the year and pay the
farmer the differenc between selling
price and option price.
The cash payments on this plan are
to be paid according to the following
scale;—
Land yielding 100 to 12-1 pounds
lint per acre—$6 per acre.
Land yielding 125 to 149 pounds
lint per acre $7.
Land yielding 150 to 174 pounds
lint per 'acre—$8.
Land yielding 175 to 224 pounds
lint per acre—$10.
Land yielding 225 to 274 pounds
lint per acre—$11.
Land yielding 274 pound? and over
lint per acre $12.
Plan No. 2
Farmers wanting all cash pay-
ments and not desiring to take an
option on Government cotton are of-
fered a higher scale of cash rental
paymenets than offered under the
first plan.
Land yielding 100 to 124 pounds
lint per acre $7.
Land yielding 125 to 149 pounds
lint per acre $9.
Land yielding 150 to 174 pounds
lint per acre $11.
Land yielding 175 to 224 pounds
lint per acre $14.
Land yielding 225 to 274 pounds
lint per acre $17.
Land yielding 275 pounds lint per
acre and over $20.
County Agent Washington requests
that farmers mail in their names and
address and acreage in cotton to his
office in Rusk. He urged that farmers
not destroy cotton until it has been
inspecteed however.
The following schedule of meet-
ings was announced;
Friday Summerfield 2 p. m.; Grif-
fin, 5 p.m.
RUSK SHIPS 119
CARSOF TOMATOES
The last car load of the 1933 to-
matoes from Rusk rolled to market
Wednesday morning, giving this point
a total of 119 cars of the famous
East Texas tomato.
The estimated average price for
the season is placed at 3 cents ptr
pound. Add to this the lug materia!
cost of making, packing and loading
and figure 650 lugs average to the
car and the total figures in dollars
and cents is just a little less than
$90,000 which was put in circulation
among the farmers and laborer?; at
the sheds and lug material manufac-
turers.
While the crop yield was less than
an average yield with most growers
and acreage was reduced, the quality
was good and averagely speakinsr
growers made a good profit.
A few years ago $90,000 was not
considered very much money for a
tomato crop in this community, but
this money was a life saver here thi~
year and was of more actual bene-
fit than it had been in many years.
The price of one and half cents
per pound was paid for the last to-
matoes bought here. The highest p.ii'1
during the first of the shipping season
we are informed was 5.90 .
