How 10 Clean FiIiqree Silver.

When fiIigree silver has become
black and dull, It may be cleaned by
lmmersing it in a bath Of potash wa
ter, not too strong, and washing 1t
thoroughly, after which take it out
and rinse it and put 1t into the follow
Ing solution: Salt, one part; alum, one
part; saltpeter, two parts; water, four
parts. The ornament must be taken
out after five minutes and should then
be rinsed in cold water, wiped dry and
polished with chamois leather. An
other way is to wash filigree silver in
hot water and go over it with brush
dipped in ammonia and green soap,
then steep In boiling water and dry in
sawdust. Always put by filigree silver
In tissue paper. Plain silver trinkets
can be cleaned by being rubbed with
a slice Of lemon, rinsed in cold water,
washed In lather of soap and again
finsed, this time In hot water. Dry
and polish with chamofs leather. Nick
ell silver may be kept bright BY being
rubbed with flannel dipped in amnlo-
MIA.

A Thrifty LandIady.

There is boarding house keeper in
Jersey City who gave rare exhibition
Of thrift recently One Of her boarders
had committed suicide by gas, and the
dead mans executor in settling his es-
tate discovered bill from the landlady
for so cents worth of gas On making
inquiries the executor was informed by
the woman that it was her custom to
read her gas meter each day, to keep
tabs on the amount of gas consumed
by the boarders, and that on the day
of the suicide the meter showed that
so cents worth of gas more than usual
had passed through it. This, she charg-
ed, the dead man had used in killing
himself, and she saw no reason why
she should pay for 1t. The executor
paid the bill.-New York Tribune.

Apropos to the legislative investigation,
the first days proceedings of which appear
in another column, it is due Commissioner
Watkins to state that the Commissioner is
compelled by law to turn over the moneys
Of the department every ninety days or at
the end Of each quarter TO the State Treas
urer who places the funds to the credit of
the State on interest bearing account, as
prescribed by law. During each quarter
the moneys Of the department. come in piece
meal and the Commissioners is himself per-
sonally responsible for the safety of all such
moneys. In selecting depository for the
moneys, until the time required by law to
pass same TO the State Treasurer, the Com
missioner is the sole Judge and is certainly
entitled to select such banking institutions
as be deems proper fer his personal safety,
the State holding him responsible for any
losses that might be sustained. In other
words, the Commissioner holds the same re-
lation to the State as an executor or admin
istrator does to an estate and if through
carelessness or negligence losses are sustain
ed the Commissioners must foot the bill.

partment, was called TO the stand, Mr.,
Backes immediately began to fire questions
at him relative to the purchase of an auto
mobile for the department., as provided for

which has not vet been signed. Mr.. Smith
explained that the contract under which tie
machine bad been purchased specifically
provided that in the event Of this item not
receiving the approval Of the governor the
machine could be returned. Mr.. Baokes,
however thought it was rather previous for
him to purchase the machine at this time.
Mr.. Baokes questioned the commissions 7
closely as TO whether be had not lobbied
among the members Of the legislature for
she insertion of this item in the appropria-
tion bill, but Mr.. Smith said that he could
not recall having spoken to more than two
members about the matter.
It was also brought out in the examina-
tion of this witness that funds Of the de-
partment had been used to cash personal
checks, one of which came back marked

State House it came out that coal is pur-
chased without competitive bids.

please, giving no vouchers to the State

penditures after be has honored their war
rants.

Off For OklahOmas

Man is never satisfied. A spirit of unrest finds resting place in his makeup, whether white or black. St. Francis county is one, of the grandest agricultural count ries in! the world, and living and something besides can be made more easily here than elsewhere. Land is cheap and pro- ductiye, and the climate can't be beat, yet now and then some one catches the Oklahoma fever, and no amount of persuasion can prevent their going.
 A few miles west of the city is set clement known as Spybuck. Among it's citizens are a number of colored farmers, well to do in the world. The Oklahoma fever got in among them, and on Wednesday Allen and Nat Hutcherson and their families loaded all of their possessions in cars at the Choctaw depot, and left same night for Eufaula, Oklahoma, to try the new country for year, as Allen remarked. Both of these families are composed of good colored citizens, and while we wish them we'll in their new home, there is an old saying, that he,who drinks of L'Anguille's waters will sure return.
 To keep in touch with his old home, Allen had The Times follow him.
 On Thursday, two other families fol- lowed them-Rich Gather and Paul Hutchens and families making 27 negroes in all who have left, as they believe, for greener fields, but who will doubtless soon regret their move and sooner or later return to this Gar den of Eden.

CRABTREE- E-KENDRICK.
Handsome Young Couple of Widener Married Sunday at Presbyterian
 Manse.

A happy wedding party composed of the bride-elect, Miss Bertsie Ken drick; her father, MT. w. R. Ken drick; her sister, Miss Hedley Ken drick; and the groom, MT. J. Melvin Crabtree; and their friends, Messrs. w. H. Willbanks and Sam Hall, of Widener, came over Sunday morning, December 15, 1907, and repaired at once to the Presbyterian manse, when at $40 o'clock, MT. Crabtree and Miss Kendrick were happily married, Rev. F. H. Hensley, Jr., officiating, in his usual impressive manner.
 Miss Bertsie Kendrick is the elder daughter of MT. w. R. Kendrick, a prominent and well-to-do merchant and planter of Widener, and is most beautiful, lovely and loveable young woman of twenty-three summers. Miss Bertsie is a splendid girl, and is greatly loved by large circle of friends.
 Mr. Crabtree is a travelling man, and represents the Southwestern Publishing Company, selling their books, etc. He is splendid young man of sterling worth, and very popu- lar with all who know him intimate ly. He is sober, honest and indus trious, and worthy of the great prize he has drawn in the great matrimon- ial lottery.
 They will reside at Widener for the present, whence he will continue to prosecute his business.

We very much regret to learn that MT. Geo. B. Mallory and estimable family contemplate removing to Col orado in the near future. Mir. Mallory has not been in good health for seyer- al months, and it is for this reason that they expect to go West, where they hope he will be permanently bene- fitted. Of course we shall be glad to know that they have found place where he will become hale and hearty as of yore, but he has been so long and intimately connected with the public life of this county, that their depart ure will make a void that we shall all keenly feel. Should they, in fact depart, our best wishes and those of a host of dear friends will go with them, and we hope he will soon be entirely restored and all return home.
