Majority Are Residents of the
County; Few Local Women
Have Filled Blank.
VARIOUS OCCUPATIONS
ARE GIVEN BY MATRONS
One Gives Hers As Farmer;
Diplomacy Used by Clerks
in Several Cases.
Continued from Wednesday, Sep. 3.
That women from many parts of
the county arc reiering as voters
but that very few women of Albany
have registered yet, was the state
ment made this morning by County
Clerk Willard L. Marks.
Various occupations have been giv
en by the women and il appears that
Hie women are not at all at a loss
lo know just what to give as their
occupation, as lias been the case pre
viously. The married women espe
cially, are having but little trouble
in filling in this portion of the blank.
While many have given different oc
cupations such as "my husband's
keeper," or something to the effect it
is generally conceded that "house
keeper" or "housewife" are proper
induing from the number giving
these occupations.
Webster defines these as follows:
'l lousekeeper" One who does or
oversees 1 he work of keeping hous;
one who slays much at hon.e.
"Housewife" To man.igc with
skill and economy, as a house wife
or other female manager; the wife of
a householder, the mistress of a fam
ily, the female bead of a family.
I Iceupa lions such as stenographer,
librarian, clerk, farmers wife and
nurse have been given.
Mrs. Helen V. Crawford, of Leb
anon, whose 1 1 l,i nk was filed this
morning with County Clerk Marks
actually gave ihe occupation of
"farmer." Mrs. Crawford is Ihe own
er of a large fruit tract near Lebanon
and other properly in that section.
County Clerk Marks says that 't
is an easy matter lo register some
women while with others extreme di
plomacy has lo be employed, as tint
result of nue st ions as to age, occu
pation and other points.
As an example, Ihis morning a lady
appeared in the clerk's office and ask
ed lo be registered. She is well known
lo the whole office force. Mr.
Marks proceeded with the preliminar
ies, ;is to her name, and occupation.
Then came question of age. M r.
Marks hesitated a second.
"Oh, go on and ask me any ques
I ion. You can't embarrass me. I
would rather be an old maid than In
going around here looking for a di
vorce as many have done," she re
plied as she promptly answered 35
years.
Getting Ready for Round-up. It is
understood that several local people
are contemplating attending the Pen
dleloii round-up ibis year. Scores of
people from all over this section have
signified their intention of attending.
The round-up this year will be held

Reports Say Rain.
That no damage to crops has been
done by the rain was the statement
made this morning by K M. Red

clear weather conies by tonight, the
danger outlook will have been passed.
"If it stops raining by tonight and
the farmers go out in the field:; and
-.eparate the .shocks of grain so the
wind can blow through there is no
danger of any particular damage as a
result of the recent showers," said
Mr. Kedfield. "Clover should be tak
en up from the ground and allowed
to dry through this same process, or
the probability is thai it may begin
:o sprout."
That the rains have not delayed bop
picking and that it has not rained
hard enough to do any damage to
the crop was the statement made yes
terday by Jess Whitaker.
"It hasn't rained hard enough to
damage an v of the crop." said Mr.
Ulhiiaker, "and I don't believe that
picking
has been deterred. If the

tomorrow then I look for growers
to begin to worrv."

pears thai the rain has been general

DAMAGE CASE WILL GO TO
JURY THIS AFTERNOON
Suit Has Occupied Attention of
Court All Day-Peacock
vs. Kirkland Next.
After occupying the attention of
the court for the entire day in the,
taking of testimony, tlie $25,000 dam-
age suit of Mrs. Mc Daniel against
the Lebanon Lumber Co., as the re-
suit of the death of the plaintiff's
husband by an accident while in the
employ of the company at Lebanon,
over two years ago, is expected to
go to the jury some time late this
afternoon.
. The jury was chosen yesterday af
ternoon and taken to Lebanon u
view the lumber company's property,
returning here last night. Members
of the jury are: George Erum, C. R.
McCormick, R. L. Burkhart, J. B.
Cornett, Thomas O. Willsie, H. C.
Oh ling. Dayton Harris, J. C. Brown,
R. L. Burnett, T. L. Lawson, D. Bus
sard and L. Edward Dyer.
Scores of witnesses were called to
the stand during the day and it is
expected that the taking of testimony
will be completed by this afternoon
at 5 o'clock. The attorneys will make
their closing argument, probably be
fore court adjourns, and the jury will
then be excused.
T!ie next case to come up is that
of Ella Peacock against J. E. Kirk
land et al. Judge Galloway will try
this case tomorrow in Judge Kelly'a
place, this being the desire of the lat
ter. About three years ago Mrs. Peacock
sued her husband, Al Peacock, for di
vorcc and secured a decree and a
judgment for $700 alimony. Shu
had a writ of execution issued and
on this judgment Sheriff Smith at
tached the property of the Peacock
livery barn.
Joiui E. Kirkland then brought a
replevin suit against the sheriff claim
ing to be the owner of the attached
property. While this case was pend
ing he secured the property furnish
ing a bond with J. D. Lsom and A.
M. Holt as sureties. This case of
Kirkland against Sheriff Smith was
not tried for several months and
when it was tried a verdict was re-,
turned in favor of the defendant, the
jury deciding that Peacock was the
owner of the property when attached.
In the meantime, so Mrs. Peacock
alleges in the case which will be tried
tomorrow, the property had been
used in a livery business and was de
creased in value and partially de
st roved, so she brought this action
against Kirkland and his bondsmen,
lsom and Holt, to recover the value
of the property.
