Old Weapons UnssTttGd

Gibson. the Creek philosopher, is
in the city from Euiaula, having
business with the Dawes Com
mission and Indian Agent
Mr. Gibson reports that quite
recently while plowing on his farm
near Eufaula, a large number Of
weapons were uuearthed, some Of
which were rifles OF old style, some
blundcrbusses,a a few old time pistols
aud a couple OF swords All these
weapons are in a fair state Of pres
ervation and are apparently Of
Spanish make.
According TO Creek tradition, a
party Of adventurous Spaniards,
numbering ffty-four, in the year
1884. left New Orleans on burros,
coming to this country and passing
on in search Of gold. They secured
all the precious metal they could
carry. and on their way back, they
were bcset by a band of Shawuecs
near Standing Rock. eight miles
east of Eufaula and a great battle
followed, and the Spaniards, with
the exception Of two, who escaped
OH a raft, were annihilated.
It is supposed that the weapons
plowed up on Mr.. Gibson's place
are the ones that were used by the
Spaniards mentioned above.

COTTON
PREMIUMS
Large and Enthusiastic Meeting OF
Citizens Held at the Com
mercial Club Rooms.
PAY THE HIGHEST PRICE.
IS the Sentiment Large Premiums
Will be Provided.

There was call meeting at the
commercial club rooms yesterday
afternoon for the purpose Of discus
sing the means Of making Chicka
sha better cotton market. The
room was crowded and much en-
thusiasm was manifested. 1t was
evident that the citizens Of the
town have fully made up their
minds that Chickasha shall have
her share Of The big cotton crop
that is now growing.
Every phase OF the matter was
discussed and effective action was
taken. ~ may now be stated to a
certainty that if the cotton doesn' t
come 70 Chickasha il will not be be
cause our buyers do not pay the
highest price and give the farmers
fair and liberal treatment.
Mr.. Hudson, manager of the
Chickasha Cotton Oil Company S
gin, was present and stated that his
company willlgin cotton at $3.50 per
bale, furnishing all material for
wrapping and viii allow the farmer
the privilege Of taking any or all Of
his seed or 9ill buy the seed. The
independent'gin will be operated III
the sameananner. With Two FIRST
class gins III operation, the farmer
will never have to wait to have his
cotton ginned. Nj Hudson alsc
promised that there would be nc
discrimination made by his com
lDany III favor Of surrounding towns
either in prices or manner Of treat
ment
The general sentiment of the
meeting was that the BEST way 10
bring cotton to chickasha was to
pay the best price for it-pay all
that any other town pays and a lit
tie more and this will be done.
On motion Of l. L. Bryan the
following committee was appointed
to correspond with the big cotton
companies and endeavor TO have
them put buyers OH the streets here:
w NJ. Edwards, 4 II. Dwyer and
L. + Johns.
II was also agreed that money be
raised for paying premiums and for
use in other ways that will contri-
butte to making the town a good
cotton market
It was decided to offer a prem
INN Of sioo TO the person bringing
the largest number Of bales Of cot
ton 10 Chickasha; $50 for the sec
ond largest number; $40 for third,
and S each for the next three in
order. The following committee
was appointed tosolicit funds John
Wells, VIM. Edwards, Ed. F.
Johns, John Crib aud L. L. Bryan.
The latter was appointed to have
special charge of advertising.
There will be plenty of buyers
Oh the streets. Among those who
signified their purpose to enter the
market were. l.. T.. Bryan Eagle

and the Chickasha Cotton Oil Co.
viii also have buyers.
While no special premiums will
be offered for the first. second and
third bales brought to town, it is
certain that they will bring prices.
From the talk among the pros sec
tive buyers, it was evident that
each intends TO get the first a'e

command from is TO 90 cents a

may be.

Ahont the Rack Yard

This item will be found quite as use
full to the farmer as to the man in
town with the typical town back yard,
for the former is quite as often given
TO using the space back of the house
(his back Yard for the accumulation of
ashes and rubbish as is the town man,
who, perhaps, has no other place for
his refuse. In planning for an attrac-
tive space at the rear Of the home,
first see THAT there is liberal ex-
panSe Of level sward kept cut close
during the suSmsr. If this lawn runs
back to a row of trees, one has a nat
uTal and mast attractive background,
so don't spoil IL by placing a row of
chicken coops between. Let these use
fSl little houses be kept near the cut
buildings like the barns and the
sheds, where they belong.
A little to one side, in this space OF
grcen, cut a circular bed make the
soil rich and set it to towering or
foliage plants of some kind. Have
nothing else in this space unless it is
of considerable size when it may be
l,roken a little by massing some
shrubs to one side. Get some vines
about the back porch and some handy
benches under the Enclosure so a por-
ton of the work of the women of the
household may be done out of doors
and in the shade. Do these things and
others will occur to you, and, more
over. you'll have a back yard to be
proud Of.

Strong Words Against Hazing.

Chancellor McCracken, in his opening
address delivered in the chapel of New
York University to more than 300 stu
dents, took occasion to rebuke the ten
dency of unruly college men to expend
their surplus energies in lawlessness, and
bullying underclassmen. On this line
he said:
Possibly the formation of such clubs
as l suggest may offer an outlet for
the superfiuous energy which is overflow
ing in many college students at the be-
ginning of the school year, especially
among those who have just become soph-
omores Such students often form clubs
with the unavowed object of commit
ting acts of a mischievous and sometimes
criminal nature. From such organiza-
tons arise cases of attacks by a dozen
stout fellows upon some solitary victim
picked for hazing, or the destruction of
public or private property. The best club
for such fellows rs these is the police
mans club, and the best meeting place
the station house or the bar of the police
iudge.'

There are few better ways of fooling
Father Time than following the old
advice to keep the heart young" It
is astonishing how young a fellow can
look and feel who maintains a fresh
and lively interest in sports and pas
times or has some hobby which he
can ride in leisure moments Any
body who has his health can keep
young. Ill-health is the only excuse
for age, and even this handicap in lifes
race can be overcome in large meas
ure by cheerful, contented mind.
That the length of human life is
gradually increasing statistics show.
1t is pct increasing by leaps and
bounds, nor is there any indication
that perpetual youth shall ever be our
portion. AS we learn better how to
live, we shall live longer and happier
lives. We cannot hope to live for
ever, and time spent in planning this
impossibility is time wasted.-Robert
