AN APPRECIATION

Jefferson d. Chastain was born
March 10th, 1860, in Itawamba Coun-
ty, Miss, and passed away in Colora-
do Springs. Colorado, September 8th,
1918.
He was reared in Tishomingo Coun-
ty where his parents were among
the largest slave owners of that sec
tion of the State, prior to the Ciyil
War. He received his higher educa-
tion at Missouri College, located in
Clinton, Miss. In his young manhood
he came to Atoka, Indian Territory,
where he engaged in the mercantile
business. While living there he mar
ried Miss Lena Dunn, and moved to
Hartshorne, oklahoma, where he
continued in business. To them were
born three children, Garyin Dunn,
who is now engaged in business in
Writ and Healdton, Oklahoma; Rosa
B., now a student in the Damrosch
School of music in New York City
and Caldwell Chastain, who is serv-
ing his country in France. Besides
his wife and three children he leaves
four brothers and two sisters-Rev
j. Garvin Chastain, a foreign mission
ary, now in Havana, Cuba; DR.. Sgd
ney ChaStain, Of Nettleton, Miss.
Victor Chastain, who is connected
with the railway service in Oklaho-
ma City; Orlando Chastain, of White
void Tenn; Mrs. Cleo Reynolds. OF
Dangerfield, Texas, and Josephine
Reynolds, of Jacinto, Miss.
Mr.. Chastain was ever active in
business and civic circles wherever
he lived. He founded the First Ma
tional Bank, of Harthorne Okla, ana
was its president for many years.
This period of his life was remark
ably active and useful; he not only
gained the utmost conf 'dence of his
business and financial associates, but
was highly honored by the public at
large for his splendid qualifications
as a citizen. He was president of
the School Board at Hartshorne, a
number of years, and when he remov-
ed to Chickasha in 1907, on account
of better educational advantages for
his children, he served the school
board here for six years, being made
chairman of the buildings and ground
committee, and the High School
grounds stand today as a monument
to his untiring efforts. He was county
commissioner for two years and at
the time of his death was president
of the Ice and Cold Storage Com

GOV. SPEAKS TO
COLLEGE MEN
Declares for American Higher
Education at L. of p.
Dinner

In ringing speech before the
University Club at the luncheon to-
day, a special occasion for alumni
of the University of Pennsylvania,
Governor Brumbaugh rang the
knell on German dominence in
higher culture predicting that Amer
lea from now on will become the
center of super education. His en-
phatic words were cheered to the
echo by a great number of college
men who represented not only the
u. of p. but Yale, Harvard Prince
ton and nearly every important COL
lege in the country.
Three distinguished alumni of the
Z. of p. spoke at the luncheon,
Governor Brumbaugh, Thomas
Lynch Montgomery, State Librarian
and David E Tracy, eX-president of
the Chamber of Commerce and
head of the Pipe and Pipe Bending
Works. The attendance was so
large that the rooms could not hold
them all, but seated and standing
the college men expressed their feel
ings with round after round OF
cheers and staccato whoops.

Governor Brumbaugh began by
describing the Kaiser as a man with
a diabolical idea in his soul, and
then went on to say that this war
is one of ideals; hence many do not
understand it and are not in SYM
pathy with Americas participation.

commissioner O'Neil, who came back
from Philadelphia late last night,
SAID that his visit to that city was
solely to meet with the directors of

ala not meet any of the Vares The
commissioner said that he would have
consultations during the day with his
friends and determine on headuuar-
ters and his Eastern Pennsylvania
campaign, for which he is consider
ing chairman.
There was more or less jubilation
among state administration men to-
day over the reports in Philadelphia
newspapers that State Chairman
Crow had been unable to secure an
agreement, on a state ticket with
senator Sproul at the head. Men
nigh in administration affairs nod
ded their heads in a knowing way
ana said that there was nothing to
the report that the Wares were fa-
vorable to Sproul. They declared
that the Governor would be a factor
when 1t came to making up a ticket
and that he had a perfect under
standing with the Ware brothers.
The Philadelphia Record says to-
day that John r. X. Scott is the
stumbling block and other newspa-
pers say that it is all due to the fact
that the Wares want the lions share.
In regard to ONeils campaign, the
Philadelphia Press says some men
do not give Mr.. O'Neil due credit
for the work he has done quietly.
