farms one half mile north of

sfre and successful farmers in
the count# and is making good

Mr. Butler farms on 160 acres,
some, of which he pays cash for
and on some of it he pays rent
in the usual way Last year he
cultivated 374 acres in cotton,
and from this ground he picked
55 bales of 500 pounds each The
the thoughtful act was a labor
of love to a friend and co-worker

Allstotts Letter
January 1st, 1915.
Pauls Valley Democrat;
I taks at least 2 hours of 1914 to
blow ofl and out in through your high-
ly appreciated service.
In regard to the livestock and butch
er business and t'he lines ol business
I have nearlv landed for 1914, I want
to thank the man just as hard that
brought the 50 lb pig as I do the man
that drove in the big bunch.
While this years experience as a
shipper has caused many a hard word
and though as to the quick flunctia
tions in market values, but boys, I am
am telling the world I done my level
best balance on bank book is my
... . > proof and having handled at least
«2gl. His share ol the corn $100,000.00 worth of b.iai-ess for the
glorious year of 1914. I expect a
scant living for myself and employees
will square the balance. But men, I
ara not down in the mouth have e-
nough energy to whack with the world
in the line of business I follow. When
a lad I had a speech that said, if at
first you dont succeed, try again. I
All the new County officials
were introduced into office Mon-
day by taking the oath and giv-
bonds.
County Attorney R. E Bowl-1
ing and his assistant, L H.
Hampton, were the iirstto quali
fy, and they went to work at
once like old veterans, and it is
certain that Garvin County will
never have cause to regret these
two officials.
Sheriff Bush Rayburne qualifi
ed and stepped into harness with
which he is perfectly familar,
and all know Push Rayburne
know before hand that the office
will be efficiently filled. John
Schlax qualified as office deputy,
whose past record in this office
under Rayburn before is a suf'
ficient guarantee of the highest
efficency. Dug Harmon qualified
as jailor, took possession and
went to feeding the prisioners,
and attending that and other
duties which will be well per-
formed. Lucion Jones will be
night watch at the jail, and it
will be watched too.
The old County Commissioners
met early Monday and wound up
a lot of old routine business with
Albert Plaster as
after the new
N. D. Duffield,
that its condition is very bad,
and that it is practically impossi-
ble to keep it perfectly sanitary
sanitary condition as it is and
that it is expensive and trouble-
some to keep comfortable in ex-
treme weather. The considera-
tion of the Rush Creek drainage
district was continued to the
Mi-ch term. Harry Oliphint,
thl new deputy county clerk
waited on the commissioners in
a Highly satisfactary manner.
Mr, Harris who now becomes
both County Clerk and Register
of Deeds has a big job combin
ing them, and he has Miss Julia
Jordian in the old register of
deeds office at work this week.
A. K. Suggs appointed Roy
Lewis as deputy court clerk, in
stead of Jack Kennebrew, as
first arranged. Mr. Kennebrew
goes with the Guaranty Abstract
Co. Mr Lewis will makp Mr
Suggs a splendid deputy.
Monday was the beginning of
the regular term of the District
Court, but Judge McMillan was
out at Guyman holding court the
5th and 6th, and did not reach
here until this morning, and the
rierk and1 term 'aPsed by not being called
Commissioners, thre,e d^s' and Jud*e
_ gam Neill and! signed up all orders of
T. H Rice qualified with Walter fhe °'d ter™- and went home
late Thursday.
There will be no district court
this term unless Judge Swank
Harris as County Clerk, and pro
ceecied to business, and they did
not finish until last Wednesday
afternoon. They transacted a
: large volumn of business and did
it with a clearness of conception,
a snap and vim that was cer
calls a special term after he
goes into office next Monday.
There are ten or twelve prison
ers in jail on expenses awaiting
crop was 440 bus none of which
he sold, and he sold $240 worth
of hogs. He has 60 acres of
alfalfa on the farm, 25 acres of
which he pays 17 50 an acre rent,
the other 35 acres is new, which
he sowed and did not pay any-
thing but the labor of putting it
in this, and he has already sold,^ wt QOr expect t0 g0 through
*380 worth of alfalfa and has an thi| wor,d Qp flowery beds of ,as(
equal amount to sell, besides
having what he wants for his
own use.
Thin gives Mr. Butler for his
own work and that of two small i
while the balance pushes through the
thorn patches. My plank is to split
them with you.
Now enough fudging the main thro
ght of the county is pushing hard fin-
tainly commendable. They visit- trial, and it is more than likely
ed the jail, and went on record! that Judge Swaik wil! have two
in no uncertain terms, saying weeks special term.

ned and dried fruits he will
need, all the poultry his family
will want. In other words he
makes his living out of the farm,
and he don't have to spend his
cash taking the living home in
paper sacks.
HENS FROM IR. UZZEll
E. E. Uzzell, formerly of this
place, who was badly burned by
the explosion of a gasoline stove
at his home in Purcell last Sim-
day week, was reported as not
doing well on ftonday
Mrs. Uzzell and children were
in Gainesville at the time of the
accident, which resulted in the
loss of their home and all its
contents. It was feared, at first,
that Mr. Uzzell was fatally in-
jured, but, later it was decided
he had not swallowed the flames.
He was taken to the Sanitarium
at Temple, Texas.
The thoughtful ladies of the
Baptist Aid, reinforced by a few
of the teachers and special
friends wished to do something
1.
to cheer the family during the ......
[ holidays, and sent a miscellanousjarlet 6r.fi, Bill,
shower to Mrs. Uzzell, which
will be of great help until she
can leave her husband's bedside,
and ca% have strength to gather
the needed supplies of clothing,
etc , for herself and children.
Mrs. Uzzell was a valued mem-
ber of the Baptist Aid when her
home was in Pauls Valley, and
heart run to for oat on the water* woo

of our bull cannon to snorting if Uncle
haint mighty careful. Seen a piece in

was praying some American help. Bet-
ter let wild take care of wild. Get, a

biggest fool of all
Pushing hard financially pardon me
for stroll, its up to every Garvin Coun-
ty fatmer to make some change, not
cotton man lor he has changed all
ready. As a rule through the country
its a waste of good cow feed. Every
body trying to sell hay, wheat, pasture
different straws and fodder, and ensil
age. Why cant those men find cattle
to consume this teed. In the first place

to buy and as you near the farm where
you have bken lured yot hear little old

I tion the law affords on this line, one
good step would be some sheep as
they could handled cheaper th*n cattle
supd a man could launch with but small
capital and work a combination bog

the cattle the man on the grass prarie
land ought to grow some good heavy
bodied beef animal for the man on the
bottom lands. Wouldnt this make Gar-
vis county prosper. Yes is the answer
from banker to the humble laborer. We
all know what's bent, but the past five
years has worked a mighty hardship
on our credit cistern, can we blxme
the banks for their tightness, no Mr,
Able or Mr. Unable. -
Financiers of this money proposition
must work the throttle and keep a kee-i
eye on the indicator,if they dont there
it a big chance for ut all to tee harder
times than we hare ever teen. As men
all should feel brotherly, Americans
bankers, farmers and laborers, when
you borrow money pay it back Stand
up for the banks of your country and
in this way help stiffen your own credit
abroad. 1 mean one and all, don't mat

the right spirit might raise yon to $1

mer government waf wrong. But have
and do feel that the pretent form it
going to ttraighten many a bad sprain
and crook that greeding wealth hat had

with bee Americans. But we must re-
member that we have graised this old
world lrom the east where we first land
ed to her western borders and picking
for the old cows is getting short and
Democrat or Republican we must
have laws to provide a pasture for the
poor bunch,some of us in Garvin coun
ty has to be tailed up right now.
While we all know its best and
God's own choice to have poor people

in America were whret at millionaiers.

was God's intention to haye a lot of

Father to continue the spirit of honesty

American people. That's what makes
the American tun bright and sky clear
today while black tmoke and ckradt

H06S DYING FROM CHOLERA
In several localities in i.ogan
County farmers, in attempting
to inoculate the hogc to prevent
cholera, have administered the
cholera viris, but failed to fol-
low h proptiiij with the serum
to nullify the bad effect. In
this way they have started ac-
tual cholera among their herds,
causing many thousand dollars
of loss. Agents of the State
Board ofAgriculture are iloing

THE FOURTH
LEGISLATURE HAS
CONVENED
The fourth legislature of Okla-
homa met in Oklahoma City Tues
day and both houses were organ-
ized and officers elected without
the usual friction that has char-
acterized their organization here-
to-fore, and everything seemed
to start off harmoniously. A Mc-
Crory, of Ringling, was elected
Speaker, of the House without
opposition. J G. Marsh was elec-
ted clerk. W. A. Durant, speak-
er protem, H. L. Saddler, serg-
ant at arms, and Geo. W. Old-
ham. chaplain who wiil be re-
tained as clerk.
The Senate was organized by
E. L. Mitchell, president protem,
Joe Morris was again elected sec
retary, which exolficio continues
secretary of the state election
board.
A number of bills were intro-
duced in both houses, and among
those in house was one by Maxie
of Muskogee, to appropriate $50,
000 for a state fair at Muskogee.
A bill of this same character was
passed by the legislature two
years ago and " was vetoed by
Gov. Cruce. Now the same fight
is to be renewed. Muskogee has
no right to the taxpayers money
to Duild up her commercial inter-
est than has every other city in
the state. We have not talked
to H) ijian but who is opposed to
any such appropriation not only
for Muskogee, but for any other
place, and tb* citizens of Garvin
county who are opposed to such
legislation should request their
representatives and senator to
use their influence to defeat any
such raids on the public treasury
and they should not delay in
making their opposition known.
