THE LOVE OF AoMe-rHE saw.
ING PRINCIPLE. OF OUR
GOVERNMENT.
(By Henry W. Grady.)

The man who kindies the fire on tn.
heartotone Of an honest and righteous
home burns the best incense to lib.
erty.- He does not love mankind less
who loves his neighbor most.
The germ Of the best patriotism is
In the love that a man has for the
home he inhabits, for the soil he tills,
for the trees that gives his shade, and
the hills that stand in his pathway. I
teach my son to love Georgia, to love
the soil that he stands oh--the body
OF my mother. the mountains that are
her springing breasts, the broad acres
that hold her substance, the dimplins
valleys in which her beauty rests. the
forests that sing her songs of lullaby
and praise. and the brooks that run
with her ripping laughter. The love
OF home--deep.rooteG and abiding
that blurs the eyes Of the DYING sol.
der with hte vision of an old home.
stead amid green fields and clustering
trees, that follows>~the busy man
through the eIamorirs world, persist.
ent though put aside, and at last
drawc his tired feet from the highway
and leada him through shady lanes
and wef'.remembered paths until amid
the scenes of his boyhood, he gathers
up the broken threads Of his life and
owns the soil his conqueror-this
lodged In the heart Of the citizen Is the
saving principle Of our government.
We note the barracks of our standing
army with its rolling drum and its
huttering flag as points of strength
and protection. But the citizen stand.
ing in the doorway OF his home-con.
tented on his threshold-his family
gathered about his earthstone-while
the evening OF a weli-spent day closes
in scenes and sounds that are dearest
he shall save the Republic when the
drum tap is futile and the barracks
are exhausted.

POULTRY SHOW JAN. s.1O.


The Southeastern Oklahoma Poultry
Show will be held in Dmanu on Fri
day and Saturday, January 9th and
10th. This date was decided upon
last evening at the meeting OF the
poultry association. The meeting was
well attended, and the committee re-
ported that the business men had been
very liberal with them in donations,
and that everything portends to a
great success of the event.
Committees on premium list and
catalogue we're appointed and they are
to begin their work at once. The
premium list will be good, and will
contain prizes for almost every kind
OF fowl raised, and will be the means
of bringing great many birds to the
show.
There will be no admission charged,
everyone having a cordial invitation
to attend and see the fine display OF
chickens.
No chicken fancier is barred from
the show. Chicken fanciers from any
point will be invited. But the merl-
bers of the association will have the
benefit of the special premiums.
The selection OF place to hold the
show is bothering the association &c
some extent. Thdre are no vacant
stores in the city. If no other place
can be secured. the little frame build
ing east of the city hall will be Sc
cured. 1t will be cleaned out and put
In nice shape II 1t is used.

SLAYER OF EDITOR
PLEADS INSANITY.

The trial of John Lindsay, slayer of
j. Y. Schenck, the Sulphur editor,
came up this week in district court
at Sulphur, the plea of the defendant
being temporary insanity. Readers
of this paper will recall the brutal
killing of Schenck
While Schenck was seated in his
buggy in front of blacksmith shop
on the morning of August 20, Lind
say approached and demanded that he
eat copy of the Democrat in which
scathing article appeared. Schenck
had not time to answer before Lind
say stepped back a pace or two and
fired ane barrel of shotgun he car
ried. Schenck shouted not to shoot
again. II am a dead man now" he
cried. Lindsay fired a second load
into Schenck's right side instantly
