Mrs. Roy Milum Saturday night.

some houses in that vicinity.

"A certain writer has said that
no newspaper which took truth for
its standard would make a pecuni-
airy success" The press might re-
turn the compliment by remarking
that no minister who told the truth
about his congregation, alive or
dead, would occupy the pulpit much
longer than the Sunday afterward,
The press and clergy go hand in
hand with the whitewash brush,
ROSY spectacles magnifying little
virtues and kindly throwing little
deformities into oblivion. The pull
pit, the pen and the gravestone are
partners in saint-making
Judge E. G. Mitchell, Of Harri-
son, and Judge E. E. Ammons, of
asper, have formed partnership
for the practice Of law in this judic-
ial district. The firm will maintain
two Offices, one at Harrison and
one at Jasper, Mr., Mitchell looking
after the Harrison Office and Mr.
Ammons will remain in Jasper.
Both gentlemen are too well known
in the legal profession to require
comment from us as to their stand
ing and ability as lawyers, and no
doubt the new firm will secure a
large amount of business in the diff
ferent courts of the district, Jasper
Herald
We learn from Mrs. Fred Bolton
that her father and brother-the
Kings-have sold their bank at HUI
bert, Okla, to leading hnanciers of
Muskogee, Hal will remain in
charge until the new directorate
periects arrangements for the con
tinuance of business. The bank is
comparatively new and has done a
splendid business, but Hal finds
social life in the little place too dull
for endurance, and since he was not
content to make that place his home
he and his father thought best to
sell when a good opportunity came,
The stock sold at an advance of 75c
on the dollar, paying handsomely
on the investment, but then the
Uessrs, King had put hard work
and much good sound business judg-
ment into their banking business
