George Patton, of This City. Has Lived
III Years.
George Patton, negro, living alone
in 12-foot dugout in the Cottonwood
bottom, in this city, is nearly III years
old. He was born on Tiger river,
South Carolina, and he says he talked
with men when they got back from
the revolutionary war. He experienced
religion while helping to bury his
parents over 100 years ago.
Uncle George has never taken dose
Of medicine. He has been married
twice, but cannot remember how many
children ever called him father and
grandfather. He thinks, however, that
he had from ten to sixteen children,
most of them being dead. He talks
we'll of the white people. He says that
about 500 negroes would have drowned
ike rats in the Cottonwood ficcd two
years ago II heroic white men had not
risked their own lives to save them
from a watery grave. He lost his house
and its contents during the flood, and
saved his life by climbing into peach
tree, where he remained 23 hours until
he was rescued by white men.
Uncle George picked two bales Of
cotton two years ago, averaging 30
pounds day. lie was considerable Of
aD attraction at the last soldiers re
union in Guthrie. He came near being
buried alive siXteeni years ago. He
yawned and asked for his hoe lust
when he was being put in coffin. lie
is waiting with great anxiety for n
call from the Lo-d to come TO heaven.
He is greatly afflicted with rheume tism
and drops~. He says he don't want to
kill himself, as self-murder is the un-
pardonable sin against the Holy Ghost
He says: "0le folks have no bisness in
Oklyhomy. Dey Is treated like old
spawned horses-turned out in de
brush to russlc for demselfs and root

took occasion TO administer some sharp
and deserved raps ct the navy depart

ly tried to deprive Schley OF the credit

Drpyfus Case.

Paris, Jan. 1S-The soir today publishes
another interview with General Mercler,
who was minister OF war at the time
OF the condemnation of Dreyfus
General MERCER reiterates his former
statements and reasserts that the bor-
deau was certainly the work of Dreyfus
and not Of Esterhazy, who was not aware
Of its existence until long after the trial.
Under the plea of professional secrecy
he declined to explain how the war Of
flce obtained the bordeau. The secret
dossier no said, consisted OF four minis
terry documents fully proving the infor-
ences deduced from the bordeu. The
suggestion that II contained letters from
a foreign sovereign he characterized as
"a pure invention" as was also, he de-
clared the statement that NJ. Casimic-
Perier resigned the presidency of the re
public on account OF the Dreyfus affair.
Regarding the motives that prompted
Dreyfus to cimmit the treason imputed.
General Mercler said:
"Dreyfus was too fond Of the society
Of women OF n certain class. Had II not
been for hls reputation ih this respect,
ne would have left the military college
among the three first OF his class, but
owing to his known immoral proclivities,
he was placed eleventh. / think he re-
sented this and that this treason was
probably an act of revenge for 1t.
''preyfus was also In the habit OF talk
ing unpatriotlcally. A general was once
Obliged 10 censure him for saying that
thereichstag preferred TO belong 10 Ger
many as they were better treated, Drey-
fus adding that no quite agreed with
them"

There is only one way to cure deaf

this tube is inhamed you have a rum

when 1t is entirely closed, deafners is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out aud this tube restor-
ed TO its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
