A SLAYER.

People talk about the hardships
that are to result to various busi-
nesses on account Of the dry
weather. What about the rural
newspaper? Here we fight in
season and out of season, for the
good of the town, the community
and something to eat and wear,
but as soon as misfortunes come
we get it in the neck. But we
are not going to grumble. We
like a slayer and therefore are
going to stay right at home anc
give you the very best paper we
can. News may be more scarce
as the drouth continues, but We
will give you what's going, tC
the best of our ability, and try tC

crop comes. We sympathiz(
with the farmer, for ne suffers
not the worst but first. He doe.
not suffer long, however, till thu
rest of us are in the same boat, 81
let US all suffer together, bt

ONE WAY OF DOING IT.

Apache had not always rejolctd
in a church. Some four years
ago the Bishop had been holding
services at Waywego, the nearest
town to the north. After service
a stranger came forward and in
vited him to Apache.
"We need you down there,
Bishop" he said earnestly.
"There's murder, an gamblin',
an, lynchin', goin' on all the
time. Seems like Gods got no
show at all there. I've lived in
them parts nigh onto 30 year,
come when there wasn't nobody
but Injuns ar bulfaIer an me
an we ain'tncver had a religious
service since | been there. There s
wimmin and children there, too.
I've got some myself-w'ich 'em
amt been baptized. I was raised
in This church, an'-will you
come sir?"
The Bishop came and came
again and again and in spite of
short sighted local opposition, he
established the church, baptized
the chiIdren-some of them, that
is-and stirred up the people
generally. The town improved
IN manners and morals-not much
but perceptibly; nevertheless,
gamblin went on, Of course, and
drinking prevailed as before, but
the public point Of view gradually
changed; men grew ashamed Of
these things. even If they did not
stop them. The cowboys on the
ranges used to say with emphatic
disgust that "Apache had got re-
ligion an1 gone to h-l!"-a
double mi6statcment that. In
only one particular was there no
change tho Vigilance committee
which comprised all the male
citizens, still held its sessions;
horse stealing, murder (noc killing
in fair fight, be it understood)
ill~treatment of woman-all these
we're expiated at the end Of a rope

A NOTED TREE,

An object Of interest known to
few people who visit Okmulgee
and view the Creek Capital build
ing and its surrounding for curl
osity's sake, is a maple tree about
two feet in diameter, standing in
the extreme northeast corner Of
the square. Before the tribal
laws Of the Creek people were
abolished this tree served as a
rest for criminals who were placed
against it and shot according to
the Creek laws.
The last lnan to be shot leaning
against this tree was a young In
dian from near Sapulpa who had
been found guilty Of horse larce-
| ny three times, which crime was
then punishable by death. He
was placed against the tree stand
ing and a piece Of white paper
about the size Of a dollar placed
over his heart. The man chosen
to do the shooting, who is now
living in Okmulgee, stepped about
fifteen PAGES from the convicted
man and fired at the paper. Not
a word was uttered by the prison
er and he sank Imply to tbs
ground, dying almost Instantly
with a bullet through his heart.
This last execution took place
three years ago,
Several Indians have been shot
leaning against this tree, while
some were taken to the graveyard
east OF town near the depot anc
shot on their collins. These ole
, laws have since been abolished
, but the old tree still stands, ST.

COUNT THE COST.

Does it pay the farmer to adopt
the best methods? Farm and
Ranch says that it certainly does
with the qualification that what is
the best method for one may not
be the best for another. 1t will
pay any farmer to adopt the best
method for his specific conditions.
In many cases improved machines
improved stock and improved
processes may cost more than
they come to. Ii will not pay to
buy a costly implement to do the
work than a far cheaper one will
do nearly as well, It will not pay
to buy a costly team to pull a
wagon when a pair of "pluga"
would do as much hard work, but
cost $3.50 less. The best results
come from a due consideration Of
the general fitness of things-that.
which is best for the particular
case. There are farmers so pro-
gressive that in the end they find
they have Vpaid too much for the
whistle" There are others who
adhere to antiquated methods,
because they were good many
years ago. A few men can do
we'll by buying a poor farm and
building it up, just as there are
cases where women succeeded in
marrying a man to reform him,
but such cases are SO rare that
they cannot be said to be examples
worthy Of imitation. Generally,
it will pay farmer to cultivate
the best land he can bay without
bankrupting himself, to use the
implements best suited to his
purposes, to plant none but the
best seeds. But all these things
may cost to much; therefore, he
must not only consider his desire
to buy, but his ability to pay. Ii
he buys economically and uses
inteligently, after awhile he may
be able to crafty whims Of fancy
by supplying himself and family
with things for show chiefly. a
child crawls until itIearns to walk.
Men are children Of a larger
growth.

LORD ELOON'S. APOLOGY

On one occasion, says the Green
Bag, a junior counsel, on their
lordships giving judgement
against his client, exclaimed that
he was surprised at their decision,
construed into a contempt Of
court, and the barrister was or
dered to attend the bar next
morning. Fearful Of the conse-
quences, he consulted his friend
John Scott (afterward Lord EI-
don), who told him to be perfecly
at ease, for he would apologize
for him in q way that would avert
any unpleasant result. Accord
ingly, when the name of the de-
linquent was called, Scott rose
and coolly addressed the judge
81 am very sorry my lords" he
said, "that my young frienl
has so far forgotten himself as t.
lordships with disrespect; he j.
extremely penitent, and you vii
kindly ascribe his unintentiona
insult to his ignorance. Yol
see at once that it did not Or
iginate in that. He said he wa
surprised at the decision Of you
lordships. Now, il he had no
been ignorant of what takes plac,
in this court every day-had h
known you but half so long as
have done-he would not bt

A brother writer says; One
young lady rises early, rolls up
her sleeves, goes into the kitchen
to get breakfast, or insists on do
ing so, and afterwards with cheer
full and sunny smiles, puts the
house in orde. without assistance
from mother. She will make a
good wife and make home a par
adise. Young man, look for her.
Another young lady is a parlor
bird, pallid from company, dis

reads novels and nearly dies Of

PRAISE FOR THE WORKING GIRL
The girl who works-God bless
her, she is braveand active. She
is not too proud to earn hor own
living or ashamed to be caught al
her task. She smiles atyou from
behind the counter or desk,
There is a memory OF her own
in each silent irown She is like
the beautiful mountaineer, al
ready far up the hill, and the
sight of her should be an inspira-
ton for us all. It's an honor to
know this girl-to be worthy OF
her regard. Her hands may by
stained by dish water, sweeping,
factory grease or printing ink,
but it is an honest hand and a
helping hand. 1t stays miafor-
tune from homes; it is the shield
that protects many forlorn little
family-the working girI-God
bless her.-Ex.

The Kansas City Journal tells
this story: Crank Anderson
was for years a well. known COM
mercial trav eler who made
Galena. He was passionately
fond Of honey, and thoproprietor
OF the Galena hotel, at which he
always stopped, always had some
on hand for him. On one trip
Anderson took his wife along,
and as they approached Galena,
he mentioned to her that they
were getting to a place where he
could have honey When the
pair were sitting at the table that
night no honey appeared, and
Anderson said sharply to the
headwaitor: Where is my hon
ey?' The waiter smiled and said
You mean the little black haired
one? Oh, she don't work here

SAYS HE SAW THE GRAVE.
james McGIashan Positive Gen.
Greene's Body is at DunEe-


The story Of the removal Of the remains
Of Gen. Nathaniel Greene TO Cumberland
Island was partially coroborated yes
terday by James McGlashan. who says
he has seen tombstone at Dungeness
inscribed with the name of Gen. Greene.
The grave, he says, is near that of Light
Horse Harry Lee. Mr.. McG.ashan rep
resents the Pomona Nurseries Of the
Gri1ing Brothers Company of Jackson
vile, and has visited the old bury1ng
ground at Dungeness, He has number
of photographs of the grave Of Gen. Lee,
next to which are the graves Of the
Nightingaies and Mnlers. Among the
former, MIR. McGlashan says, is fiat
tombstone inscribed Gen. Nathaniel
Greene" He gave what informal on he
had to Capt P. D. Daffin, a member of
The committee to represent the Rhode
Island Society Of the Cincinnati in its
search for Gen. Greenes remains.
Those who have kept the trend Of eff
forts to locate the remains Of Gen. Greene
are inclined to the belief that Mr.. Nc
Glashan is mistaken. Mr.. William Har-
den said last night that he supposes the
report Of the body of Gen. Greene hav-
ing been removed to Dungeness grew out
Of the connection of the Greenes and the
Nightingsles.
There has for many years been a story
that Gen. Greenes body was removed
from Savannah to Dungeness. but it has
never yet been automatically located by
parties which have at various times made
thorough searches for it.

Vow widely known "MiI1-End.' -
Few things in this world are mysterious
when thoroughly understood. Like Colum
bus andthe egg, it is all very simple when
explained. Commercial life has many in
tricacies which are mystifying to the un
initiated, and are really unsolvable except
through the magnifying glass Of combined
capital And so when we are told that
Two dollars in any kind of merchandise
can be obtained for one dollar, it seems
Ike a Baron Munchausen canard, and one
incredulously smiles. But in some few
cases the incredulous smile is unwarrant-
ed, and like Columbus and the egg, tits
very simple when understood. Now this
great sale going on at Adlers store, can
not be understood on any basis of old
line or conventional methods. But when
YOU understand the part which combined
capital and great trusts are playing IN
the commercial world in these days of
money-power, the thing is plain. OF
curse somebody loses. but it is the great
mills and manufacturing centers; the peo-
pie at large who absorb the stuff are the
benefciaries. And even this indirect loss
to the mills is not loss after all, and Il
is a direct gain to the public, who are
fortunate enough to participate in these
great distributions of articles of every
day necessity. So these great sales are
really helpful to the poor of the country.
and these mill-end syndicates can't be
'ooked upon but as pubic benefactora
lust as when any portion of the country
has met with some appalling calamity
the government in its distribution of stuff
to that section is considered a public ben
efactor; SO, too, these syndicate sales
are benefactors to that section of the
country where they are held. And Savan-
nah, through the intermediary of Adler's
store, is benefiting by these sales now.

that SaYannahians are wiling to support

of the Magnolia soap industry depends
upon the housewives. There is no sort of
doubt about its being one of the best
soaps in the market for the laundry And
those housewives who have given it a

DEATH OF LEO 0'BYRNE.
Funeral VIII BE Held at the Cathe-
draI This Afternoon.

draI This Afternoon.
The funeral Of little John Leo O'Byrne
the eldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. A.
O'Byrne, will take place form the resi-
dence Of his grandfather. Mr. ]. ]. Nc
Donough, and his parents, No. $50 Price
street. at o'clock this afternoon. Serv-
ices for the dead will be conducted at the
Cathedral of st. John the Baptist.
The death of this bright boy was a
peculiarly sad one 1t occurred Friday
evening, when his father and mother were
both absent from the city, and when his
uncle's wife, Mrs. John j. McDonough, Jr.,
was lying at the point of death. The lad
had been Ill only a few days. and II was
on.y q few hours before the end that the
desperate nature OF his condition was I'M
derstood.
Mr.. O'Byrne was on his way
to Savannah, having been hurriedly sum-
Mrs Med enough. 1t was felt that to let
him know of the death of his boy
before he reached home would only
cause unnecessary suffering, and the sad
news was kept from him.
1t was told when he reached the city,
and the grief thus induced was added to
only a few hours later by the death of
Mrs McDonough. Mrs. O'Byrne is now
on the way from Connecticut to Savan-
nah and will reach the city. it is ex-
pected, this morning or early this after
noon.
