WHEN THE ANGELS CAME

People tell the story yet
with the pathos OF regret.
How along the streets one day
Vnawares from far away,
Angels passsd with gifts for need,
And no mortal gave them heed
They had cheer for those Who weep
They had light for shadows deep
Balm for broken hearts they pofe,
Rest, deep rest. a bouadlesS store,
But the people so they say
Went the old blind human way
Fed the quack and hailed the clown
When the angels came 10 town.

letter at the bank and ordered it
paid.
This, my friend, is a great pleas
ure to me to be able to do a
little at least to help provide for
the comforts of the grand old Con-
federate soldiers that are fast
passing away, and it is, | think,
the duty of every Southern born
man to honor and perpetuate the
memory of these grand old warriors
who fought for their land and coun-
try against great odds. In travelling
over the country and meeting people
generally and making inquiries as
to their former lives and so on,
and when the question of war is
raised and you happen to meet
some old warrior whose body is
bent with time and whose face is
grinkled and whose eyes seem to
have lost their luster, in every in
stance when they happen to be an
old Confederate soldier and you in
Quire in what war they fought, all
at once the shoulders straighten.

brighten and look of pride at once

and was under such and such
leader" Too. if you will notice there
is a friendship of real feeling that
exists among these grand old men
and their honest offspring that does
one good to feel and know that in
their heart they feel that they did
what was right. | have never seen
one yet who would deny that
they were a Confederate soldier and
that wasn't proud of their record
And | have never seen one yet but
what would lift a helping hand to
those that were in distress, and. as
said before, this is a great pleas
nre to me to be able to do my lit
lie mite in helping these grand old
men and women to have ease and
comfort in their remaining days.

ABUNDANT RAINS
OVER OKLAHOMA
JUNE CORN AND a DOZEN 9TH
Err CROPS WILL MATURE BE
FORE FROST.

The drouth throughout the state
OF Oklahoma ard Texas has been
broken by general rains From every
where comes the report that mois-
ture has fallen and crops are in fine
condition. The dry weather which
held on for some time was the
means of relieving cotton from the
backward start it had, It gave the
small grain farmers an opportunity
to save their grain and 1t also
threatened the corn crop, but the
showers came in time to save cora
and the damage will not be very
great Farmers state that in every
instance where plowing was kept
up that corn will make a full crop.
The farmer who became discouraged
and stopped the plow will have his
corn crop cut a little short, but
Carter county will raise more corn
than it will consume. There will
be many thousands of bushels to
place on the market this fall
Rain began falling late yester-
Gay evening. The patter, patter con
tinued practically all night and all of
today. The play of electricity and
loud thunder awOke the people last
night, but there was no wind and
no hail. Two inches of rain fell
last night an inch or more has
fallen today and this added to the
inch of rainfall last week has put
a very fine season in the ground.
Corn will make without another
drop of rain. Alfalfa is sure for
the third and many crops are good
for four cuttings Prospects are
now that the harvests will be so
lbountiful in Carter county that every
acre of land in cultivation will pro-
duce a crop this year which will
yield the price of the land One
other feature of the year is that
more land is in cultivation than at
any other time. The demand was
greater than the supply.
The home gardener and the truck
grower is especially pleased. There
is a demand now for all kinds of
garden seed. Turnips, radishes. let
tuce, beans, peas, potatoes and
dozens of other crops will mature
before frost.
District agricultural agent A. G..
Graham says beyond a doubt that
June corn planted now will mature.
Every acre of stubble land and gar
den lands that have matured one |
crop will grow another.
The farmer of southern Oklahoma
IS happy and he has reasons to
be so. The merchant reioices with
him in his good fortune and all
lines of trade will be benefited won
derfully by the general prosperity
Of the country.

Crap Shooters Caught.

When things around town are
quiet and the newsgatherer is hard
pressed for news, he always knows
where to go and find a few happen
ings and turns his footsteps to
wards that never failing place, the
police court. This morning some
ten or twelve members of the June
Bug Club were up before his honor
charged with gaming The June
Bug Club is an organization COM
posed of "cullud" gentlemen of leis-
ure who must have some place of
amusement when they are out of
the city prison, where a number
of them can generally be found
The principal pastime with the men,
bers of the club is a game that is
played by throwing two little square
pieces of bones with spots on them.
They get deeply interested in the
game and forget that It is a vio-
lation Of the city's laws to engage
in such pastimes, and are calling
loudly to the bones to roll "seben"
come "leben," and at about this
stage of the game a bluecoat ap
pears and the members are hauled
before his honor and given a fine
of ten dollars. The amount of
money that is usually up on a game
of this kind amounts to about fif
teen cents and no one member ever
wins it all, so after the ten dollar
fine is paid they are about nine
eighty-five loser. But it's sport, and
as natural to a negro as his breath
ing. The members of the club who
were in court this morning were
each fined ten dollars.

tomorrow night in Ardmore. From
here he will go to Maysville.
Mr.. Ross is not a stranger alto.
gether to the people of Carter coun.
ty He has addressed the people
of Ardmore before, and is a force
full speaker. He will be accorded
a good hearing in this city. Ard
more people treat all candidates
for office as they would have their
candidates treated in the towns of
their opponents. Mr.. oRss it is said
will carry his town which in the
last election went for Mr. Cruce.
but in the Lawton country Mr..
Cruce has large following. Mr.
Ross has pitched his lines of bat
tie against the state administration
and for local option and high H.
cense. It stands to reason that such
a platform will appeal to some Of
the people Of the state and he is
making an active campaign in hopes
of winning the nomination.

400 per cent and of the three well
organized Sunday schools in tn
state this church has one.
The church membership was
touched to tears when the resigna-
ton was presented. Rev. Curb feels
that he has done a great work and
good work with the church ana
his services have been appreciated
by the people of the city. The pas
tor stated that he felt it best for
him to take up other work at this
time.
Rev. Mr.. Curb lived in this city
many years before he entered the
ministry. He is a thoroughly good
man, good organizer and has
one of the very best working
churches in the state.
Not only do the people Of this
church, but the people generally
in the city, regret his resignation.
