GOOD!
Whethelj the (occasion of
' Thanksgivrhg lie formally ob-
served here or not, this editor
j will feel thankful anyhow.
I As he faces the usual hoard in
I house spread of cranberry
sauce and other annual tin-
jnecessary - to -mentionables
up in the
runnin' gear of a gobbler
that barely.escaped death from
old age, he will consider it a
matter of absolute duty to
feel really and devoutly
thankful that lie managed to
brave the darkness, the night
watch and the pelting sleet
while rusling up wood enough
to keep from freezing to
death without getting caught
at it.
I will prove to he a pleas
ant dish to the taste of those j „ . , . , ,
I and gets tangled
upon whom it was forced by
the election of Judge J. A.
Baker as delegate to the con-
stitutional convention. News
already reaches the Herald
that our delegate is regarded
as one of the most popular
men and one of the strongest
workers in the whole assem-
bly. The people of the His*
district who elected Baker
have no fears as to the faith-
fulness of their representa-
tive, and those who opposed
him need not doubt that he
will employ his best efforts
and offices for the interests of
the whole state, and especial-
ly for the section he repre-
sents. Every true and loyal
•citizen in the district is now,
and ought to be, a friend to
Baker and it is believed that
they will join with the Her-
ald in best wishes that his in-
fluence for good in the con-
vention will be felt and appre-
ciated.
A stranger doesn't gener-
ally make inquiry regarding
the condition of a cemetery,
but it is said that when he
gets a look at Wewoka's bur-
ial ground, his invariable
comment is, "Well, this may
be, and I rather think it is, a
pretty good place to live, but
I'd sure hate to die and In

Baker With H s Bible.
In territory no'es, it. is report-
ed that onr Delegate Baker,
who is a Georgian, now promi-
nent among the constitntioners
at Guthrie, reads his bible daily
in order to quote verses in case
a Quarrel arises between the
northern and southern demo-
crats. The Herald will place a
standing wager that when any-
thing of special importance bobs
up for action our delegate from
district St will be charley-on
t lie-spot, and this whole country
has great confidence in his rep-
refenlative ability.
Good Show.
The Belchets, who with a good
support and appropriate stage
equipment filled their engage-
ment at the open house here
last Tuesday night, presented
(rank Davidson's melo-dramatic
production entitled, "The Folks
Hp Willow Creek." to a full and
apprec ativo house. The char-
acters were all good, parts well

richly wurtli the price.
A Hissouri Visitor.
F. M- Bell and wife, from
Norwood, Mo., arrived here last
Wednesday and are pleasantly
visitin their old friends, Post-
master ami Mrs. L. W. Smith in

char.t in his town and reports
that section of country in
flourishing condition, lie says
he encountered some of the
sunny south weather enrouto to

appearance and affable manner
denotes a good easy life and he
is a fine walking advertisement
for southwest Missouri's health-
giving climate, pure spiing wa-
and good things to eat.
