 MT. Crutchfield spoke again at great length, declaring that 1t was the pur- pose of the other side to provide fer the establishing of plague spots with in the counties and beyond the con- trol of the counties He went farther and said that under the amendment, robbers nests could be set up; that even within the ward of city vice could securely entrench Itself.
 Judge Doe said that he was in favor of prohibition as a principle. but that the question of prohibition was not involved in this matter. He would resent, he said, the suggestion of MT Crutchfield that the members of the convention leave 1t to any committee to determine the meaning Of this or any other paragraph He believed that he was as competent to interpret its meaning as any committee.
 A Respite Obtained.
 After a reply, in which he said that Judge Doe had misunderstood him, Mir Crutchfield moved a postpone ment. Chairman GOldwater reminded him that he had been speaking all this time on an entirely different mo- tion, one to recommit. But the post to vote and was carried by S1 to Fl.
 The Coker amendment will be cf- fered again, but probably fin q diff ferent form, though its friends feel certain that it could be carried in it's present form. The amendment will probably differentiate the local mat ters" in the settlement of which it shall not be disturbed. It was pointed out by MT Cassidy that there were some local matters over which the county must necessarily have control. For instance, in the issue of county bonds. the county must be able to compel the city to bear it's share of the bonded indebtedness. This and other things are not purely local mat ters, but matters which of necessity concern. the whole county. But an ef- fort will be made to preserve the in- corporated cities and towns from the control of the counties in all mat ters concerning which cities and towns are usually authorized to leglslate.

The Most Important Question to the
People of Mississippi.

Inv HERE is NO question of more Importance
I'M to the people of Mississippi to-day than the
encouragement of the organization and
maintenance of the Boys Corn Clubs in every
county in the State. We frequently get very much
railroads. and just now we are all excited over
the election of Senator; but to the masses Of
the people OF Mississippi the teaching and en-
couraging of our boys to make more and better
corn than their fathers have done is OF infinite
ly greater Importance than any or all of these
political economic questions. Along this same
line and OF equally great Importance. Is the teach

tenn of agriculture ever established by any people

Education. Mr. w. II. Miller. belongs the credit
and honor OF starting a unique movement for the
encouragement of stock raising among the school
boys of this county.
There has recently been organized among the
school toys of Oktibbeha County Boys Pig
Club. Any boy who is regularly enrolled In one
OF the schools of the county may join this club
and enter the contest for four prizes $25. $125O

the successful efforts OF the boys The contest

may be born any time between October l. 1909
any April !. 1910. At the oktibbeha County
fair next fall the pigs will be weighed and the
gain per day computed from the age, as shown by
the registration papers
During the year the boys will be called together
several times and given instruction regarding the
most approved methods OF feeding and manage

Home Building Best
EDidence of Stability

Do you want TO see the best evidence
Of chickasha's prosperity and stabil-
ity2
" you do. just take drive over the
city tomorrow and note the number
Of residences in course Of construction.
You will please observe both the
number and the kind Of houses that
the people are building.
If you have lived here three or four
years, just take retrospect and think
how many of the handsome homes you
see were built during that time.
a little over six years ago when the
writer first hit the town there were
scarcely more than half dozen spa
cious, modern houses in che town. but
shacks were plentiful.
But. as time passed on and the peo-
pie became possessed Of the idea that
they were not mere soiourners but
fixed inhabitants o. the place, they
began to build larger and better
homes.
During the past two years at least
1900 homes have been built IN chicka-
sha, ranging in style from the cozy,
comfortable cottage with modern con-
veniences to the more pretentIous res
licences. And the home building move
ment is in full blast today. The people
are building more and better homes
than ever before.
What does it mean, Wise Man? It
doesn't take very wise one to an
swer that question.
It simply means that more people
than ever before have resolved to pin
their faith to chickasha and are get
ting ready to live here. II means that
chickasha is a good place to live and
that there are business opportunities
here that hold the people.
Home building is the test Of perma-
nent town progress, kind Of baror-
eter that shows how much the people
think cf a town
Now when you add this indsputa-
Bile proof OF chickasha's stability to the
prospects here for immediate develop
ment--the cotton mill, the Girls In
dustrial School, the street railway and
much more-you begin to realize that
we are living in town that is rapid

premacy among the great cities Of ok
