CROPS ARE GOOD.
County Commissioner Kirkpatrick
Says Farmers are Keeping Up.

VIM. Kirkpatrick came in from Fox
yesterday to be present today at the
regular meeting OF the Board o. Ccun-
ty Commissioners.
He states that corn IS looking good,
that the farmers have had too much
rain but they are not discouraged. and
have kept better up with their work
than one would think they could have
done under the circumstances. The
greater portion of the cotton crop is
up to a good stand. Oats are looking
the finest they have ever looked, and
the country is prosperous and happy.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick states that a number
of people seem to be interested in
drilling for oil in that portion of the
country, and he expects to see that
country thoroughly tested for oil be-
fore the end of the year

WHIPPING POST
NOT ABOLISHED
MAY BE BY STATUTE BUT THERE
is A HIGHER LAW INVOLVED
WHEN NECESSITY DEMANDS

The whipping post has been abol.
ished by statute and no longer the
lash is heard collecting payment for
.offenses Of grave character, that is,
it has not been heard in this section
of the state for some time until a
few nights ago at Waurika a citizen
was invited around the corner to take
drink of -Four Roses" only to be
seized by several of his neighbors and
whipped until he was bleeding from
every vein so to speak. This individ-
ual has been amusing himself for the
past six or seven years by whipping
MS wife, and the neighbors becoming
tired of it. gave him what was coming
to him the other night at that little
city.
1t does no good to fine such a beast.
The only way to get under his hide is
to first cut it with a black snake whip
and administer some of his own medi-
cine. 1t is reported that he is very
submissive now and in all probability
his wife and children will have lit
tie peace.

as fast as the corn. Sunday morning
the sun was shining, the soil was
mellow and fine, a few rain clouds

humidity in the air that foretold more
rain. Mr.. Scivally could not resist
using the day to get rid of the weeds
and to save the corn crop. Accord

cultivators were put to work and from
sun-up to sun-dOwn these plows went
