anywhere in the valley every acre
of land is worth at the least twenty
five dollars. That is putting it very
mildly, and yet it makes every
quarter section worth four thousand
dollars Will it pay you to take a
little stock in the well and make
the test? 1t seems to us that every
citizen in the valley would want to
take hoII of this proposition and do
what ne can towards it. Three
thousand dollars should not be a
large sum to be raised. Ar artesian
well anywhere in the valley will
make every settler in the valley
rich man. Are you willing to risk
a little to prove whether this is all a
myth or a stubborn fact?
Another meeting will be held on
next Monday night at the Walker
Building at which time the volun-
teer committee will report the
amount secured in subscriptions.
There has been so much talk in the
past that now is the time to act
and everyone who wants Artesian
Water in the valley should attend
tins meeting and act. Will you be
the one to balk at this time and
thus hinder the prosperity OF your
self and neighbors?

sheep will be barbacued and together with
refreshment stands, the inner man will be

in all probability be arranged, foot races,
sack races, and similar sports will add to
the hilarity of the day. J. F. Lasater has

COMING WINTER MAY BE SEVERE
Prophets Pin Their Hopes and Fears
to the Katydids and Corn Rusks.

1t is said by the observing ones that
the approaching winter will be usually
severe. The katydid has appeared, say
these weather prog losticators, and
within six weeks after her first song
frost is sure to come. Another sign
pointed out to sustain their contentit !
is that bushes this year are plentiful n
parks and country, and this is said to
be natures way of providing refuge for
birds in the storm. Then citations are
made of the crop of holly berries, the
thickness of corn husks and the enor-
nous yield of acol rs, chestnuSs, beech
nuts and other fruit of the forest upon
which birds and beasts depend for food
during the winter months.
the unusual activity of the barn
mice is still another sign of long and
severe winter. These little animals
have already begun the work of con
structing their nests and obse1 yers
agree that they are making them I'M
usually warm and cozy. All of these
signs point TO a severe winter, and
many people there are who t. lst more
to these homely predictions than they
do to the reports Of Uncle Sans
Weather Bureau.

Isaacs Is charged with the mu;d Of
Dennis lsaacs. also a Choctaw Indian,

the body OF Dennis lsaacs was nshed

had disappeared At the time It was
thought that Isaacs had fallen into
the well and drowned, and no arrest
or investigation was made. The war.

by the mother OF the dead man. who
believes that her son was murdered.
The story that King told at the
time the body OF Dennis was found
was 10 the effect that he and Dennis
had come TO town ogether Saturday
