The First Meal.
FROM Tuesday's palIN

From Tuesdays Daily.
Last night The Atwood hotel
was opened to the public for the
first time. There wee quite a
number of invited guests and
several strangers present. The
hotel is nicely arranged, splen-
didly furnished, with a large,
commodious dining room, neat
and clean, and is an honor to our
town. The manager, w. F. Gill
mer, is a true Southern gentle
man, courteous, obliging, and by
nature and training an excellent
hotel man.
The supper was everything
that anyone could call for, and il
the new hotel is not a success il
will not be because they do not
set a good table at The Atwood.
The house warming party will
take place February %, when
there will be merry old time in
the old town.
This new hotel is something
Durant has needed and wanted
for long time and should be
encouraged.

some queer problems since the time Of
Horatio, but none Of them is more curl
GUS than that relating to the amount Of
time it would take for an object to fali

has been decided, after an immense
amount of figuring, that IL a bowlder
weighing a ton should fall from the
sun it would take it ninety-nine years,
nine months and two hours to reach
the earth. The same bowlder could
make the trip from the moon to the
earth in four and one-half days.

3 Fruits, Poultry and Produce


here, and with the improved, faci-
lities for shipping everything that
the farmers raise, and need, Du-
rant will draw all the produce
from the surrounding country.
Durant has a Canning Factory
of 10, 900 cans per day capacity.
The fruit and vegetables it puts
up is Of excellent quality and the
output finds a ready sale in all
the markets. The very highest
price is paid for home products.
Last year the farmers and truck
growers were unable to supply
the demands OF the factory, so all
we need is more truck growers to
cast their lot with US, and do
their part, and the climate and
soil will do the rest.
-------------------
Hunt where you may you will
find no more suitable climate for
raising poultry, hogs, cattle
horses and mules. There are
seven poultry farms about Du-
rant, the largest of which has
over a thousand chickens. Fowls
of all kinds do we'll here and are
proving a profitable investment.
There is a something here that
make chickens healthy and hens
good layers. To attend the annual
fowl shows here one is easily
convinced that Blue county is the
ideal fowl country. AS to hogs,
cattle, horses and mules, Blue
county excepts none outside of
northern stock.
Prudent persons of moderate
meansg who are tired of making
just half living in the States,
we would say come to Blue
county. There is no section which
offers better opportunities for
general farming, truck, poultry
and stock raising than the Sec
tions about Durant.

parent on tie bourse where the slump

caused a plnic.
In oficia circles the dissolution of

promise in which members of the low

Much attAtion is given in high quar-
tiers to repGts of lntrigues by certain
European pIwers preceding the disso-
luton. the Prevailing view here being
that Empepr Nicholas course was

The finanial effect of the imperial
manifesto Is causing apprehension, as
one of the aduoements to the taking
up of the lat Russian loan was the
governments assurances of the quiet

Citizens, stand up for your tramp

Russia must not remain a day with
out popular representation. You pos
sess the means of acquiring it. The
government has, without the assent of
the popular representatives, no right
to collect taxes from the people nor
to summon the people to military SER
vice. Therefore you are now the gov
eminent. The dissolved parliament
was justified in giving neither money
nor soldiers.
Should the government, however.
contract loans in order to procure
funds. such loans will be invalid with
out the consent of the popular repre-
sentatives. The Russian people will
never acknowledge them and will not
be called upon to pay them.
Accordingly, until popular rep.
resentative parliament is summoned.
do not give kopec to the throne or
soldier to the army. Be steadfast in
your refusal. No power can resist the
infiexible will of the people.
