he refused to come with them. His
wife then went to him and he return
ed with her without any question.
When he is awake he recognizes the
members Of his family and seems to
be rational. although he does not talk
unless spoken to, and is very weak
1t Is hoped that with rest and return
ing physical strength his accustomed
mental vigOr will be fully restored
The family are assured that they
have the warm sympathy of the en-
tire community.

The editor Of the REGISTER and his
family returned Tuesday from OklahO-
ma where they had as pleasant visit
as one could have anywhere with the
mercury ranging from SO to lib in the
shade. During the IA days we were
there the average temperature wag
107, and the hot winds were blowing
nearly all the time. 1t is only fair TO
the country, however to say that such
weather is without precedent there.
And in spite oil the great heat and
the prOtracted drOuth, the country
looks beautiful and the crops are fair.
Corn is good crop, and cotton will
be nearly average. All of the lola
folks that we saw are well and doing
well. Asa Jones has been nominated
by the PopOcrsts for Probate Judge
of Oklahoma county, and is likely to,
be elected too. A. c. Scott was the
Republican nominee, by reclamation,
for the Territorial council, but has no
show for election as the opposition
majority in the district is nearly 1000.
w. A. Scott is the nominee of his par
ty also for the same office from the
Lincoln county district, with a fair
show for election. Politics is red hot
all over the territory in spite of the
fact that the people have no vote in
the electoral college. The Republi-
cans are standing squarely on the ST.
Louis platform, and viii doubtless re-
elect Dennis Flynn as delegate to
Congress. Prof. UmhOItz is the Re-
publican nominee for superintendent
of Public instruction in Oklahoma.
He was elected two years ago, but
this year they have fused against
him and he will probably go down
with the rest of the ticket. We were
very sorry to learn that his wife has
become almost a confirmed invalid
:. T. Ellis and his family are in the
best of health and their farm has q
fine crop of corn and cotton. w.
w. Scott owns a cotton gin at Clifton
aud will do big business this year.
DR.. ]. w. Scott has leased 8
school quarter q miles from Clifton
and is renewing his youth raising
corn and hogs. The Strickler boys,
formerly of Carlyle. and John Body,
and f. NJ. Eckley and his family, are
all close around in the Clifton neigh
borhOOd, but we did not meet them.
Miss Daisy Scott, daughter of w. A,
who was a little bit of a girl when
she left here, graduated from the Ok
lahoma City High School last June
and is to teach the Clifton school this
year. Her brother Cliff, has leased
school quarter and is farming.
Times are mighty close and hard all
through that country right now, for
the reason that hardly any Of the set
tiers had anything when they went
there and have had TO dig their liv-
ing out of the virgin soil as they went
along. But the country is all right
and the people will win in the end.
Corn is king in the north and cotton
is king in the south, and when the
zones meet and miDgle, as they do in
Oklahoma, so that corn and cotton
can be grown side by side, the ques-
ton of getting rich is only a question
of time.
