Resigning From, the Militia.

There are ways Of getting out of the
national guard before ones time IL up.
and it is not always necessary to acquire
a chronic illness or remove from the state
or become a convict to find those ways.
A young man who recently Joined the
guard applied for dismissal az the end of
his sixth week of service. He did not
give his reasons, but the officers learned
that he wanted to get out because his
best girl had told him that uniform was
not becoming to him. He was dropped
from the rolls with dizzying suddenness.

The Muskogee fair did not come
up to the expectations of the visit
ors who were in attendance. The
races, however, were good, much
interest being manifested in
them. 1t makes one sad when
they think about the opportunities
that were offered at this fair that
were not taken advantage Of. 1t
is a pity that the Indian Terrific ry,
a country with more natural adj
vantages than any state or terri
tory in the union, cannot get up n
fair that will be of credit to the
territory and its people. Let's
have it next year at all hazards.
By beginning early there is no
reason why we shouldn't.-Eu-

Year after year, until the pres
ent, the Vinita fair has been of
credit to the territory and its peo-
pie and a wonder to the people of
all the surrounding states. This
year an attempt was made to en-
ploy the association as a club to
pay off some political scores, and
as a matter of course fzzle was
the result.
