THE COUNTY OFFICERS
Monday was a day of changing at
the court house with the county offi-
cers and deputies.
Judge N. E. Sharp was succeeded
by Judge P. B. Swank, withR. E Cor-
bett clerk instead of Miss Amy Nolan.
Judge Sharp made a most excellent
record as judge, and we predict a
good and clean administration for
Judge Swank.
County Treasurer It. S. Davis was
for the second time placed in charge
of the office with "Buck" Clement as
his deputy. They made good in the
pa9t and will make good in the fut-
ure.
County Clerk L. L. McComb suc-
ceeded himself and will retain his
deputy, J. M. Burch. Not a word
can be said against these able offi-
cials. They have and always will
make good.
Tom Cheatwood relieved F. O.
Miller of the strenious duties as c e-k
of the district court, with Murray
North utt as deputy. F. O. Miller
made a sp endsd record, and we pre-
dict success for Mr. Cheatwood.
Sheriff I. B Sile was again placed
in office, and it is needless to say
that he will carry on the good work
he has been doinp for the past three
years. W. D. Maxey, at his own
pleasure retired as jailer and Tom
Cottrell was placed in charge
R. J. Stogner, who for six years
was a most efficient offiical in the
capacity of register of deeds was
succeeded bv J ['..Carrier with Frank
Boggs as deputy, vice Miss Eva Wise
They have the ability, and will cei-
tainly carry on the good work.
County Superintendent B. II. Mc-
Donald will carry on the good work
he has been doing for the past three
years. He is an ideal school man.
Geo. C. Graham succeeded himself
as county attorney For the past
three years he has proved his worth
aB a prosecutor, and with is exper-
ience is prepared to do better work
in the future.
R. D. Alexander for two years
more will prove to be the right man
in the right place as county surveyor.
"Billy" Shelton suceeded W. L.
Martin as county weigher. Every
one knows him, and all know that he
will make good in every particular.
The commission ers, J. A. Fox, W.
A. Taylor and T. E. Blair did excel-
lent work the pa6t three years, and
are succeeded by J. A Fox, W. J.
Jennings and S. A. Ward, who are
competent, painstaking and careful,
and will render excellent service dur-
ing the coming two years.

as previously announced.
Mr. Battis is considered the greatest
interpretor of Dickens on the Amer-
ican platform today and is to Dick-
ens what Fredrick Ward is to Shak-
espeare, Taose who heard Mr. Ward

opportunity to hear Mr, Battle this

ual place on the da;. before the date

The Lecture course committee is
delivering the goods and we hope the
Norman people will deliver the aud-
lance We get the best talent avail
able on the circuit to appear in Nor-
man and will keep on doing so as
long as we get the support from the
people.
II GREAT PLAY
"The Climax" is one of the greatest
plays from a playwright 's pen, and Ed-
ward Locke, the author may be sure
of his fame were he to do nothing
else. The music specially written for
the play by Joseph Carl Hriel, i- ex-
quisite. it is replete with classic 1
arias, music you drink into your soul
and wonder how anyi hing on earth
can be so beautiful, so heavenly
Remember no thought, no word, no
act ever dies.
There is sunshine enough in the
world to warm all.
The way to helo people is not so
much heing good to them as being
good with them, a sort of co-operative
kindness.
There are some men who make it a
point to treat every other man's
wife well but their own—h ve smiles
to all but their kindred.
The influence which you start to-
day in the home, the neighborhood,
or the social circle, be it ever so small
will roll forward through the ages,
growing wioer and deeper and strong-
er with every pa-sing hour, and
blighting or blessing as it rolls.
In unity there is strength. This is
never more true than in the home.
A home strong to meet adversity and
the most adversi circumstances in
life is where there isa union of heart
and union of hands. There will be
joy in such a home despite dark days
and peace despite the turmoils of life.
Indolence And home
Indolence is an enemy to home.
Some men are too la/.y to provide de-
cent conveniences at home. It is a
crime again9t the happiness of the
home for a man to neglect to provide
the little conveniences that will add
to the beauty and comfort of the
home. Say, brother, take out that
old mildewed pillow and put in a pane
of glass, it is too painful as it is.
Climb up then and put the bricks on
the chimney where the storm of last
w inter blew them off. Put a carpet
on the lloor and a few pictures on
the wall. Put some good books on the
shelves, and give your family a paper
or two to Tead. Study to make your
self useful, and to rob home of its
bleakness, by providing things that
add to its comfort and brightness.
Make ihe chiidreu feel that hoae is
a Paradise in which the thrushes of
love ever sing high up in the clear
b ue sky of the humbie heart and you
will have no fear of turning out
theives and harlots in years to come
Akin to the Front
Representative Oliver H. Akin has
been appointed chairman of the en-
rolled and engrossed bills committee,
a member of the public building com-
mittee, also a member of prohibition
education and committees.
Last Tuesday Mr. Akin introduced
a bill appropriating $77,289.35 for a
law building at the University here.
Mr. Akin will certianly prove his
worth during this term of the legis-
lature

Increasing Cost
Ot late much has been said and
written concerning "the increased
cost of Hying" but few perhaps real
ine thaf'the increased cost of dying"
has kept up with the "advance cost
of livinif". The increased co-t of Ill-
ness is something over 100 per cent
over cost ten years ago and the in-
creased sost of a luxurious funeral
today is twice as much as it used to
be.
This increase cost proposition seems
to work like the old darkey's fish

Monday afternoon C. H. Durham
left his home in West Norman to go
out and train his bird pup intending
to be gone only about 2 hours.
Late in the evening his dead body
was brought to Norman, the same
having been discovored by Leon and
Tom Asbury, who were returning to
Norman from a hunting trip. The
action of the bird pup attracted their
attention and when they went to see
what was making 'he dog act so
strangely ran onto the body of Mr
Durham lying beside the wire fence
about a mile west of Norman It
seems that in attempting to go
through wire fence Mr. Durham had
used gun to press down wire and as
he started to pull gun or release
pressure on the gun against the wire
it was discharged, the charge strik-
ing him in the abdomen and ranging
across his bod/ diagonally clear up
to hts head and jaw. The body was
shipped back Tuesday afternoon to
old home In Terre Haute, Indiana
for burial, accompalned by wife and
three sons. Mr Durham and family
moved to Norman about four years
ago from Indiana residing on a f arm
3 miles west of NormBn for two years
and during the past two years family
have resided in West Norman.
In the last campaign Mr. Durham
was the ltepublican candidate for
Sheriff making a strong race for the
office. He was quite a popular
man ard a good citizen. He 'van a
member of the W.O. W' and I.O.O.F "Kjellency.
lodges and the funeral was in chtrg e
of the two lodges.
Men never seem to learn to be
careful enough in gorng through wire
fences with guns not with-sta iding
the fact that the press is continual-
ly telling of such accidents as befell
Mr. Durham last Monday afternoon.
Don't try to go through a wire fence
with a gun. Put the gur. through
first with muzzle ahead.
