The advent Of cold weather brings
with it the likelihood of fires and all

A Foolish Old Man.

John S. Grain, the old man who en-
deavored to get license here to marry
his cousin, and failed, committed the
very foolish indiscretion of going
right on to muskogee and subscribing
to the required oath. Because of his
ignorance upon the subject there
would have been some excuse for him
in the first instance but in the last
there is none and it might go psetty
hard with him il the case was pushed.

A Good Prospect.

"lhere is harvest in sight for the
orchard owners Of the west" said a
fruit shipper yesterday, "if they will
only take pains with their trees. The
.Syeat orchar.ss of the eastern and cen
tral states have been neglected and al
lowed TO run down until their product
has been reduced to minimum As
consequence, until new orchards
have been planted and had time to
mature, apples and all other fruits
cap tble of being shipped will bring
good prices.'

A Few Words on Advertising.

The question of whether or not ad.
vertising pays seems to be affirma.
lively answered, so far as the judg-
ment of the two largest dry goods
houses in Chetopa are concerned = see
FIRST and second pages of The CHIEF
TAIN. Mr.. Lehman and Mr.. Flannelly
may we'll be termed successful mer-
chants as both located at Chetopa in
an early day and have grown rich in
trade. Both have always been exten-
sive advertisers and the names of both
are familiar in the advertising col
umns of this paper. Nearly any busi-
ness man may, with a little persua-
sion, be induced to try almost any pro.
ject from the expansion of his trade.
II he repeats the same plan the nat
ural inference is that he found it sue
cessful and hence we take an extra
amount of satisfaction in having the
announcements of these two firms re-
peatedly appear in our columns. II is
needless to say that both have cur
thorough endorsement as to personal
integrity and the character Of their
stores. In giving them especial con-
sideration our subscribers in the
northern part Of the nation will be do
ing us q personal favor.

Good, Able Bodied Sentences.

As will be seen by the following dis
patch from Paris, Tex, the judge of
that district evidently does not care
to go over the same culprits again for
some time: Judge Bryant, of the
Federal Court, passed sentence upon
twenty-five convicted prisoners to-
day. The following is list of the
felony cases; For introducing whisky,
Nose Douglass, two years; W. W.
Anderson. fifteen months; Martin
Holman, fifteen months; Geo. Dolson,
two years; Thos. Whitney, two years;
Vaughn Bird, two years. For horse
stealing, Tom Cartrell, ten years;
Luther Chew, ten years; Lee Allen,
eight years; Silas Hodgkins, three
years; Jack Taylor, ten years; Tom
Henderson. five years; Jack Adkins,
five years; Ben Franklin, twelve years;
Bill Johnson, ten years; VIM. .Stedham,
five years and Wilson Fields five
years. Several others remain to be
sentenced"
