The evangelist is now some-
where in Texas holding meet-
ings. Last Sunday was a great day
with the African Methodist it
was the closing day of the
quarterly conference by Rev.
Chas. R. Tucker P. E. On Sat-
urday night the conference was
held. B. C. Watkins was elec-
ted secretary.
The reports from the various

ly made. At 11 o'clock on Sun-
day Elder Tucker filled the
stand; at 3 o'clock Rev. Win.
H. Sims M. D. of Muskogee

A few weeks ago they moved

'The latch string to our door

Harmony pervades the ranks
of republicanism and with our

POLITICAL JUMPING JACKS
Let us have a conference with
our boys outside of Muskogee
and see if we too can't bury the
hatchet and join hands for the
accomplishment of something
good. We suggest Shawnee-
town as a place of meeting; we
feel certain the people of that
locality will feel complimented
if the meeting is held there.
Wo have on our desk the first
issue of the Western Advocate
published at Ft. Gibson. It is
a clean paper a healthy urchin
The last issue of the Pioneer
supposed to be published on
Saturday Jan. 27 came out on
the 20 and contained what was
supposed would happen on Fri-
day night to-wit: a banquet in
honor of C. J. Jones who has
twice been tried for false pre
tense; once it bung juiy and the
last time acquitted. The article
printed Friday morn says theie
were many friends out Friday
night to witness the 'execution
tion of tho programme" and
the hall was taxed to its utter-
most capacity when Jones was
presented with a gold headed
cane; and the presentation
speech was made by Affidavit
Thompson. All of this several
hours before the time stated for
the spell-binders to break loose.
Great jumping Jehosophat!
What an immagination that
fellow Humes has; as a novelist
he would outrival Jules Verne.
The writer then prophesies
for a cloudless future for the
immortal Jones and gives a his-
tory of his life wherein he says
Jones was in the Mississippi
legislature till 1994. Evidently
the statesman has several years
yet to serve.
Evidently this is Jones first
gun in the campaign for Con-
gress and it seems that affida-
vit Taylor the Master of Cere-
monies (who just got out of jail)
and affidavit Thompson have
charge of the campaign. The
other little fellows on the bill
are to uance wnne cue nrst
named cusses fiddle. The Grand
stand play of Jones is in keep
ing with the assine stupidity of
having a circular printed with
his (Jones) likeness thereon and
claiming that Booker T. Wash-
ington was his special guest
when Mr. Washington visited
Muskogee. It was so red icu Ions
that Jones became the laughing
buffoon of the entire city.
The reception article was such
a rotten affair that when the
editor saw it lie immediately -resigned
and turned over the ship
to Pilot Mitchell. The noor old
Pioneer is traveling over rough
seas since Captain Brooks retire d
Mr Ed Jefferson whom the
report says was not there and
knew nothing of the blow-out
until he saw it in the papers.
It seems plain to us that the
immortal C. J. is beginning his
campaign for the Constiutional
Convention and lopes by pre-
senting himself with a gold
headed stick to fool the people.
The two affidavit twins are
stepping stones to accomplish
the desired end. We will doubt-
less have repesentation in the
convention but the pt ople will
select them and they wont se-
lect any person whose only
claim to greatness is that he
once ran for Congress and
whose conceit and well known
love for the ardent is chief com
mendation.
Its high time that the grip
sack politician should be shown
where he should recline. Every
fellow who is responsible for the
farce referred to in the Pioneer
is a grip sack leader Reporter.
