SAD
AFFAIR!
Did you ever go home
with your face fixed up
for a good feed of nice
white, light biscuit, and
when you got to the
table find your biscuit
heiavy, soggy and so
dark complected • that
the pleasure of a good feed was all gone? You have had this
experience. It is no use to "cuss the cook," it's not her
fault. She will tell you that the fault is in that flour you
sent home the ether day; she told you to go to McSpadden's
and get a sack of "Globe," and you got something else, so
it's your own fault. No use to kick about it. Next time
you 11 know better. There is no better flour on the market,
and very little that is as good as the "Globe." We have
just received another shipment of flour and are selling the
"Globe" at with better price in five hundred pound
lots. We also handle the S. & P. brand.

September r, 1902, is an import-
ant ^ate in the Cherokae nation.
No child bom after that dr,te can
be enrolled as a Cherokee citizen.
No new apnlirations for Cherokee
citizenship of any kind can be filed
later than that date, Cherokee
citizens may marry non-citizens
after that date without forfeiting
their citizenship. The marriage

ive for some time now and mar-
riageable rion-citizens will hav e a

CREEKS AND CHEROKEES.
It is becoming more evident as
time goes by that the Creek coun-
try has had its inning. For sev-
eral months past it has overshad-
owed the Cherokee nation in the
way of securing outside investors.
But iu.uiost of the cases the game
his been questionable, and very"
few of the investments made were
sitisfactory to the investor. With
allotment of the Cherokee lands
. appraisement of the towns, the
nation will be vastly different,
i le Cherokees have advantages to
<• Ter in the way of schools, social
< nditious and fertile lands that
t :e Creeks will net possess for
cars to come. The social condi-
tions iu most of the Creek towns
are absolutely intolerable; in the
surrounding country there are
tune at all. Here in the Cherokee
towns and country communities,
at gacd social circles are to be
found as are to be found in the
bordering strtes. All of the towns
have splendid schools, and law
and order prevail. These are the
things that exert the telling in-
fluence in securing desirable citi-
zenship and the employment of
capital. The Creek Country must
u^eds go thiough a stage of puri-
fication before it can hope to com-
pete with the Cherokee nation.—
Claremore Messenger.
