News was received today that Har-
rison McLane, ex-permit collector
for Pickens county, died this morn
ing at his home, near Woodford. He
had been sick for some time and his
death was not unexpected. He was
a conspicuous figure in Chickasaw
affairs and his death marks another
defamation OF the full blood Indian
ranks. While Harrison McLane was
not free fro faults and weaknesses,
as other men, with them all he
was a man of honest intentions with
his fellow men. Whatever may have
been charged against him has been
atoned for, as far things eartely are
concerned.

His congregations are always large. The
