death of tho father the son sought

learned that the Indian had spoken
truly, that he (Sheppard) was not
only the National Treasurer of the
Woodmen of the World and lived in
Omaha, but son Of Congress man
Sheppard Of Texas. and furthermore
i, I was willing to admit by the time
he finished his speech that he is mo-

from the fact that my mothers fam

Old Mr.. and Mrs. Brewster had only
two children, a son and daughter.

think, were spent on q little farm
near, and possibly at, Highland

Texas and married and after the
death of his wife he returned his
motherless children to his relatives
in South Carolina. l have seen
them myself, and as children we were
thrown together moro or less about
the old family homestead. 1t seeme
to me, at this distant day, and
don't think I am mistaken, that my

To the property owners of Guthrie:
Can you give a reason, logical, or
otherwise, why Guthrie with its many
railroads will not be within The short
space Of two years city Of 25,OOO
inhabitants? Why it will not be the
retail and jobbing city Of the south
west? Why il should not vita its
excellent railroad facilities erect o
cotton mill? It's in as good a cotton
belt as any Of the mill towns Of
Georgia and bucket brigade
would look awful good
Why the real estate opportunities
here don't offer better investments
than other cities OF like size on
earth? Why the railroads are all Sc
curing terminals and acreage proper
