Grant Stafford was buncoed out Of

new one it is worth notice. He
went to Newkirk yesterday and on
the train bought a paper from the
peanut artist. Mr.. Stafford handed
the news agent dime and went to
reading his paper. The boy handed
him back piece Of money which he
supposed was his change and he put
it in his pocket without looking at it.
The "newsy" stood there about min.
ute and then asked him for a nickel
stating that the dime was Mexican
money. Mr., Stafford examined his
money and fading Mexican dime,
supposed he hac been imposed upon
oy some one else and gave the
boy another nickel. He dismissed the
subject from his mind until the train
was boarded at Arkansas City by a
detective to arrest the news agent on
complaint OF another passenger who
claimed to have been buncoed out OF

woods, leaving all his supplies behind

that all the news butchers are work.

Mr.. Ia. lor, who looked happy and
handsome. Rev J. A. Cromer read
the marriage service Of the Lutheran
church, clearly and impressiVely, and
pronounced them man and wife.
Many were the congratulations ano
good wishes which were showered
upon the young pair.
While the beautiful and useful
presents to the young masron were
being examined the summons came
to the party to repair to the dining
room, where beautiful and elegant
supper was served.
The cutting Of the brides cake oc
casioned much merriment, the young

next bride. Great was the conster

OBITUARY.

Mrs. Jane Caroline Hendrix, an
aged and highly respected lady, and
one of the oldest inhabitants of Lex
ipgton, died at her home, after con-
tinued illness, on August 2, 1899.
She was the widow of Leroy Hen
dirk, who departed this life November
4th, 1916. To them were bern nine
children, four of whom preceded her
to the spirit land, one of them a
gallant Confederate, fell in battle,
and of whom his mother often spoke.
During her last years she was
carefully and attcntively cared for by
her SOD, Mr.. Scott Hendrix. Her
other children reside at a distance
but they too were attentive.
Sister Hendrix was born February
il, 1877. She leaves surviving eight
grand children and one great grand
child, besides large circle Of rela-
tives and friends who mourn her sad
departure.
She connected herself with the
Methodist church, June Ii, 1862, and
continued faithful and true to her
vows. The writer was with her often
during her last illness, and many
times she stated that her hope was
in God, pointing out many promises
in His word.
At our first meeting, which was at
her home, she handed me her Bible
TO have family prayer, and it was
then she told me that Gods words to
her were "great and sufficient in the
strepgth of her life and the hope of
her reward in heaven"
She is not dead, but sleepeth and
We bow in humble submission to
Him that doeth all things we'll. May
we travel on in the way marked out

This newspaper certainly cannot

This newspaper certainly cannot
be accused of being fulsome in its
praise of the public acts of Governor
McSweeney in the discharge of the
duties of his Office to which he has
been called by the untimely death OF
the lamented E:lerbe, not that there
have not been many acts CT his which
bore the impress of broadness OF
mind and able statecraft, and were
worthy sutj cts for the highest
need of praise, but because it pre-
ferred 70: the present to wait for the
wisdom of his official acts to develop
before being committed in any man
ner, therefore it is with peculiar
pleasure that we feel called upon to
commend recent act of his which
we believe, if his instructions to the
law officers to whom they were ad-
dressed are faithfully obeyed, vi
prove the solution of the proper en-
forcemert of the dispensary law. In
depending upon the municipal au-
tho ies of the cities and towns and
the Sheriffs and Magistrates Of the
several counties, the Governor has
taken long step toward making the
Law popular and has st the sametime
in a plain, practical way effect
ually silenced the objections Of many
inyeterate enemies of the law; and
that, too, in a way that no one can
reasonably take exception to. 1t will
be remembered that the greatest OBJ
jections urged against the law were
the manner of its enforcement snd
the character of the men charged
with the duty of discovering and
bringing violators of it's provisions
before the courts. OF course it was
recognized from the very first that
these contentious were only excuses
to oppose and fight the law itself,
but the reduction of the constabu-
larry force and making it the duty
of the officers named to look after
the enforcement of the law will have
the effect at least Of removing these
objections and giving those who have
been using them against the dispen'
sary an opportunity to fall in line and
encourage with their support the OBJ
servance of the law. 1t was Ger
tainly a good stroke Of policy on the
part of the Governor and one which
+. will eventually work good to thu
State.

There is more Catarrh in this Sec
tion Of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease.
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced itincura-
BILE. Science has proven catarrh to
be constitutional disease and there
fore requires constitutional treat

Opinions Of Cotton Farmers and Gin

-
ners after Seasons Experience.
The attitude cf cotton ginners and
farmers towards the Roundlap cot
ton bale of the American Cotton
Company. after a seasons lest cf the
machine, is illustrated by letter
received recently by the editor OF the
Manufacturers Record, Baltimore,
as follows:
Editor Manufacturer Record:
Some time ago you requested US
| to give you our opinion of tae Ameri-
can Cotton Co.'S cylindrical press.
At that time we were unable to give
our views correctly, owing to the
short time we had operated the
press. Now that the ginning season
has closed, We can unquestionably
say that the press is a success, ip
every particular, not only from a
ginner's standpji bnt as practical
farmers. The results from sale OF
our cotton have been eminently
satisfactory and much beyond what
we had anticipated, The advantages
to planter and operator are so many
that it would take up too much space
to enumerate them. 1t is sufficient
to say that no one who has baled
their cotton on this press would now
or hereafter patropize any other.
And why should they? Their gin
ming charges arc less than the square
press people charge, and they receive
from one quarter to one-half cent per
pound more than they could get in
the square bale. There is no ques-
tion about the round bale being here
to stay, and we would advise the
ginmen, especially those who are
near a railroad, to get in the swim at
once and exemp'i'y the cd adage #
the early bird getting the worm.
They will not only benefit themselves,
but their friends, the farmers, will
get the cream that the middlemer,
the commission merchants, have been
enjoying and getting lich upon. In
conclusion, to condense the sdvan-
tages, will say that the bale is fire.
proof, dustproof, waterproof, and
proof that it is a labor saving and
money making bale to the farmer.
