The manufacturers of Scotch Oats had
quite an attractive advertising parade
here Monday and everyone within the
reach of the bagpipes that two Scotch
men were playing had their attention
called to this foodstuff. However, to
our mind, more lasting advertisement
could have been made for the same
amount as this display must cost.

prosecuting attorney for this judicial
circuit, has formed law partnership
at South McAlester l. T., with Messrs.
J. F. McMurry and Melven Cornish, the

An effort is being made to reorganize
the Home and Hospital on broader
basis, which we hope will succeed for it
is an institution that is of much more
benefit to the community than is SUPER
ficially apparent. The Daughters of
the King (EpiscopaD have kept it going
only by most strenuous efforts and with
much to discourage them but the task
has become such that they feel it their
duty to have reorganization take
place.

An exchange says that every paper in
the state should publish the fact that
burnt corn is sure cure for hog cholera.
1t was discovered by burning pile of
corn belonging to distillery. 1t was
thrown to the hogs and eaten by them.
Before that a number Of them had been
dying each day, but the disease i'm
mediately disappeared. The remedy is
so simple that it can be easily tried, and
if it is found efficacious should be gen.
orally used as preventative.
