Grand mother Fuller Dead.

The earthly sojourn of one of God s oldest servants has been closed. Mrs. Polly Caroline Fuller. known as Grandma Tul- Ter, was born in Durham, New York, June 1st-1Sl6 and died at Carlisle, Arkansas, Sept. 25th. 1909, age 93 years. 3 months and A days. She was the daughter of Isaac and Margret Sears and the last surviving member of [ family of nine children. She was raised by christian parents and early in life united with the Presbyterian church, the church of her parents. About 1S40 she was married to William Daniel Fuller and with her husband joined the Second Advent Chris tian Chuich-holding her mem bership for the last thirty years at Jeffersonville, Indiana.
 She was the mother of two sons, James B. and Isaac M. Tulle., the former having died at Bearlin Heights, Ohio, Febury 25th, 1905 and the latter son with his family now residing here.
 From early youth she was active in ChristiOn and charitable work and from 1868 to 1877 labored un- der the auspices of the American Missionary Association at and near Louisville Kentucky. In October 1877 with her younger son removed to Carlisle Arkan- sas. where for the most part she has resided, scattering about her deeds of kindness and forbear-. ance. She was a gentle woman. ever solcitous about the spiritual welfare of those with whom she came in contact. She never let an opportunity pass to speak for her Savior and to know her was | to love and respect her upright ness of life. The Book of Books was very precious to her; the twelfth chapter of Romans was h7r favorite chapter, she tried daily to exemplify the Christian truths fought in that Chapter To the bereaved we would say take your mothers Bible as your counsel, follow the path your mother lead, respond to the beckoning call of mother and live the life you must to join your mother in her heavenly h Ome Her last message was Fear God and take care of the children and tell everybody to do as God wants them to do."
 The funeral services at The Methodist church, where she worshiped during her stay, here was conducted by the Pastor Bro. A. P. Few on Sunday after noon. The interment was in the Carlisle cemetery.

IS PAYING 100
 CTS. ON DOLLAR
Oklahoma Bank Commission CTS Settle With 400 De- positors of Columbia
 Bank & Trust Go.

Oklahoma City, Sept. 29.-- With supply of money received from the state Guaranty fund, supplemented by the cash on hand in the bank, State Bank Commissioner Young today paid about 400 depositors of the Columbia Bank & Trust Co.,, W h i h suspended yesterday. No excitement prevailed, the people apparently trusting the states guaranty.
 Securities to the amount of S250,OO0 have been offered the bank officials by local capitalists, but these have been refused on the advice of the bank commis- sioner, who expresses confidence there will be no difficulty in pay ing the depositors dollar for dol lar.
 The report started today that a number'of state banks would resist an assessment by the state to protect the Columbia company depositors, was dis pelled tonight when the officials announced that they had been assured of the support of the state banks.
 Interest throughout the state today was intense. The Colum- bia company was the reserve for perhaps 150 other state banks and had $1,300,000 of their de posits. The failure in the ap- plication of the guaranty law would mean ruin to many of these and a financial panic in the state.

Selma, July 31.-"I am a negro and God made me one, and I do not intend to question God for doing so, but l have made up my mind to make my way in this world, and right here in the south, as a negro" were the words of the Rev. c. M. Wells, D. D., president of the Alabama Negro State Sunday School con- vention at the second days session yes terday.
 q have never seen anything accomp- lished by men sitting around like babies whining and complaining, when they should be up and doing" continued Pres ident Wells No human being has any use for a pigmy, for man playing the baby act.

 The Rev. Dr. A. H. Smith of Tusca- loosa in an address to the convention, re- ported that there was a friendly relation existing between the negro and the white man in his section of the country. We have never had any trouble, because we are all busy trying to do something for God and humanity. The white man Is attending to his business, the negro Is attending to his business, and we have both resolved to make Tuscaloosa the garden spot of the world. Let us con tinue along this line and all will be we'll" He paid a high compliment to Professor Hudson. principal or the Selma negro schools, holding him up as an ex- ample of negro possibilities.

way to build up his race"
 am glad to see that my people are learning that this is an age of work and not talk" said the Rev. Dr. " R. Pettiford, president of the Penny Saw ings bank of Birmingham because they can stand around and talk for the next century and the race would be no higher It Is the busy man who Is attracting at- tenton-the man who thinks and puts his thoughts into something tangible. Every loafer, every gambler. every cf>.inal is a liability to any community where they are, while the industrious honest thrifty man is an asset. The thing that we should strive to do Is to become assets and not liabilities.
 "Ths negro has learned that he must do for himself and not depend on others to do for him. The opening of negro bank, the establishment of negro enter prises of every kind, the negro physi- clan, the negro druggist. the negro law yer. the negro working man are doing more to help the negro up than thou sand race leaders going over the country with no visible means of support ex- cept race leaders, working to lift up the downtrodden race. when they are not able to keep the wolf from their own door.

there was nothing to them left-the bride and groom of a year-but an old farm, some place near New York, rented to a MT. and Mrs. Martin. born of poor but honest parents"
 Margery's family urged her to take a trip abroad with them while Peter was finding himself financially. But Margery wasn't that kind. If her husband was the man around whom the rhyme,
 Peter, Peter, pumpkin-eater,

 He put her in a pumpkin-shell,
 And there he kept her very we'll" had been written, what was that to Mar gery. Nothing at all.
 So the young couple go out to the farm rented by the Martins, occupy an old barn and begin life over again.
 It is how they did it. how those two young people rid themselves of their big New York establishment, fix up the old barn, where later twins were born-such adorable infants, we are told, and all that sort of thing.
 How Peter-Peter who had-a-w -wife-and- couldn't 't-keep-her made good with the al- ways Johnny assistance of pluclly Margery; how Peter added insult to injury by almost losing his eyesight so that Margery had to do all the work of maintaining the family by teaching music French and what not-all that makes up a very pleasing summer novel,
 The book is illustrated by Rose O'Neill one of the best in the business.

 The wife dies and when the father dies, his sister, the Marchesa del Prato, first steals and destroys the Princes will and then drives Angela penniless out of the house. As Angela has only, under the civil laws, the status of a founding she can claim no inheritance Just when she needed him most Angela's fiancee Is obliged to follow his duty as an officer of the Italian army in Africa and very soon afterward 1t was reported to Angela that he had been killed. Then 1t was that Angela entered the convent and was on the point of going to Rangoon to nurse the lepers, when her lover, as if by a miracle is brought back to life.

THE RAW MATERIAL

Almost with the inception of the
National Western Stock show in Den
yer, the man from Missouri made his
appearance and rs he gazed upon the
fine cattle brought in from the ranges,
he wanted to know, you know, what
they made them with. 1t became nee
essarv to show them and that is the
reason that a feed and forage exhibit
was added to the annual show and It
has steadily grown in interest. The
average eastern stockman looks from
the ear window at the short grass along
the railroads and is convinced that it
is not worth much to make live stock;
When he sees the cattle at the stock
show he is not only surprised but per-
picked. 1t is then that he is steerad
into the feed and forage exhibit and
shown the material with which the
western stock farmers make meat.
Grasses, grains, roots, grown at all al
titudes, on dry farms and irrigated
farms, are shown in profusion and a
score of lecturers and takers are kept
constantly on duty explaining. This ex-
hibit has been of so much real value to
the various sections of the west that it
has become necessary at the coming
show to provide more room for this de-
partment Prof W. H. DIN has it in
charge and promises larger and finer
seen here before.
