Weather prophet says: I am
expecting better weather-in Novem-
Der for cotton picking and corn
gathering, and whoever neglects to
make use of that good weather will
be the loser because Of bad Deem
Der weather to follow. Those who
must sell their old grain and cotton
soon should dispose of them before
November. The good weather Of
that month will depress prices but
the bad weather of December will
strengthen prices. Don't be in a
hurry about selling. Nothing in
sight to depress prices if you can
hold till beginning of next year.
The following paragraph is an
"old one" but a good one" and
true, just the same. Running q
newspaper is just like running a
hotel, only different. When man
goes into a hotel and finds some
thing on the table which does not
suit him he does not raise hades
with the landlord and tell him to
stop his hotel. Well hardly. He
sets the dishes to one side and wades
into the many dishes that suit him.
1t is different with some newspaper
readers. They find an article oc-
casionally that does not suit them
exactly and without waiting to think
that it may please hundreds of other
readers, make grand play and
tell the editor how paper should
be run and what should be put into
it. But such people are becoming
fewer every year."

If Clark j. Tisdale will regret to
hear that he is charged with being
q defaulter. Two or three years ago
he was appointed masterin chancery
Of the Unrted States courts in the
Muskogee, Indian Territory, district.
Several months ago he was removed
from that Office by order Of Attorney
General Bonaparte, and now the
papers announce that
Tisdale has received $S3,OO0.OO in
trust for Indian minors that he has
JAILED in any manner to account for,
From a two column article in the
Muskogee Times Democrat, we re
produce the following: "As master
in chancery Tisdel got hold of
fees and he spent them like
! prince. He was combination
MISUNDERSTANDING who
has magnificent ideas Of how to get
away with money. Unlike the av-
srsge Indian Territory CRATER, he
scorned to salt any money down and
literally threw away thousands of
dollars in revels at the Baltimore
and the Midland hotels in Kansas
City. The strange thing about
Tisders Kansas City trips was that
personally he was not a hard drink
or. He seemed to have been ami
mated by a crack Drained mania to
get rid Of the money which came SO
easily. And he got rid of it in huge
chunks. With all of the thousands
which went into his hands, the form.
er master is practically "broke. /" He
could not to save his life raisea sum
Of money equal to what he used to
throw away between Friday noon
and Tuesday morning in Kansas
City,
Thursday morning, October
10th, 1907 at $50 occurred the

Blair at the home of her son, Miles
E. Blair on East Union street. Her

years old. Margaret Rookafellow was

New Jersey. On the 7th Of June,
1929, she was united in marriage in
Livingstone county, New York, with
