Throughout the entire proceed-

failed to attend missed a rare
treat in the way of able lectures
and discussions of subjects of
importance in their relation to
ministerial work.
Th" ministers in session
passed resolutions extending
thanks to Rev. David Martin for
his efforts in making the con-
vention a success, and also to
people of tho church for their
hospitality.
The Wheat Crop and Proapority
The relation of the wheat
crop to the general prosperity
of the country attracts public
attention to the estimatec of the
probable yield for this year.
Next to hay and cotton, the
wheat crop is the most valuable
product of American agricul-
ture. As Secretary Wilson of

The ministers of Hennessey
are interested in baseball and
the work of the home team
But together with a large p.<rt
of the citizens, they do not ap
prove of the Sunday ball game.
On Monday morning a commit-
tee of one—Mr. Martin—was
appointed by the Minister:,
Alliance in conjunction wi h a
committee of the Civic Federa-
tion to conf r with the ofti
cers of the team to see if some
amicable arrangement could not
be made whereby the Sunday
games could be discontinued.
An agreement was reached by
which every one seems to be
satisfied. This is the better
way.
Funeral of Mrs. Dimick
The remains of Mrs. Annie
Diniick, the announcement of
whose death appeared in this
paper last week, arrived in the
city Thursday night from Den-
ver, Colorado. Tho funeral ser-
vices were conducted at the
M. E church at 10:30 Friday
morning, liev. Harod, of Kiel,
preaching the funeral sermon.
The Odd Fellows lodge assisted
in the services. The remains
were interred in the Hennessey
ceui'tery.
When he had finished a hush
fell over the deliberations of the
body and his counsel was adopt-
ed.
"A moment later an excited
delegation entered demanding
the presence of the delegate in
convention hall and decorously
notifying him that he was the
unamous choice of his party for
re-election. Our business on
the committee was not com-
pleted, but that made no differ
ence to me. The demonstration
that greeted McGuire as he was
half led half crowded onto the
stage was enough to give any
man the swell head. McGuire, a
trifle paler, yet calm and collect
ed. thanked the convention ir
neat and simple effective words
for the honor conferred upon
him, that he was not unmindful
of the serious responsibility im-
posed upon him and admonished
the party to fulfill its duty and
establish Oklahoma as a reliably
Republican state.
•'It was all over to soon but
the manner and makeup of the
man had won for him hosts of
new friends. I don't believe in
softness, but if there is any
need of praise it is due Oklaho-
ma's delegate. We are iii the
thick of a history building epoch
and the need of good men is im-
perative. It is such timber as
that which I have endeavored to
pen portray that must be in-
trusted with the reins of govern-
ment for their solicitude for our
welfare can no longej be ques-
tioned or doubted."

At a meeting of the Republi-

I decided to nominate the caudi-
I dates for the county offices this
year by the primary system.
August 10 is the date set for the
primaries.

The question as to whether
the Republicans should have a!
convention or primary for this
year is one which has received
attention for some months,
Heretofore the Republicans of
the county have nominated the
candidates lor county offices by
a convention, but this year there
has been growing sentiment in j
favor of the primary. This was;
subject of considerable discus-!
sion at the central committee
meeting, and while most of the
speeches seemed to favor the
convention, the vote showed that
the consensus of opinion recom-
mended a change.
