More than that: it represents the highest

Devoe on any paint-thing is as good an evidence
of high quality as you will ever see. You don’t
need to ask any questions of anybody about it;
you have all the facts you need when you see
that name.

Beginning next Wednesday
Wewoka will witness the spec-
tacle, unqsual here, of two. dis-
trict courts in session at the
same time. The docket is so
heavy that little hope ia enter
tained of its being cleared any
time soon, and for that reason
Judge McKeown thought it for
tne best interests of the county
to have an additional judge here
for a few weeks. In answer to
his request for another judge
the supreme court has directed
Judge Frank Mathews of the
Altus district to come to Wewo-
ka and he will open court here
next Wednesday. The building
formerly occupied by the Abbott
hardware company has been
secured and will be used for a
court room. We understand that
Judge Mathews will take up the
civil docket and proceed to clear
it while Judge MeKeown is work-
ing on the criminal aocaet.
At a meeting of the direetore
of the Farmers National Bank
Monday an important change
was made to the management of
of the bank. O. F. McConnell,
whokai tevn cashier of the bank
for $ number pf years, was elect-
ed vice president, end J. C. Lil-
lard of 8amtoole was elected
sbtar. The change was made
effective at once.
Mr. McCopaeU haa largely
aided in making this bank a vs
popular institution, and it will
harfily look natural without bis
preeenes. Ho has recently he*
come interested in the Okmulgee
oilfields, which business talrua
most of his time, and it was by
his request the change waa made.
The people of Wewoka will be
glad to know that Mr. McConnell
will not leave hate bat will con-
tinue to make Wewoka bis home.
Mr. Lttlardhaa been for three
years past cashier of the
Fjrst State Bank of Seminole and
is a banker of splendid ability-
He will make a strong successor
to Mr. McConnell. It is Mr.
Lillard’s intention to move his
family to Wewoka about the 16th
inaL
t'me and place wfll be announced
later.
A change in the firm of Lane-
Thurston Hardware Company
waa made last week when W.
L. Thurston bought out the in-
terest of S. W. Lane and ac-
quired complete ownership of
the business. Hereafter the firm
will be known as the W. . L.
Thurston Hardware Co. This
firm has always enjoyed a fine
patronage, and under the a le
control of Mr.Tburston will con-
tinue to be one of the leading
enterprises of Wewoka.
The trial of Nathan Stuckey,
charged wjth larceny of animals,
consumed most of Monday after
noon and a part of Tuesday.
Stuckey is charged with having
stolen two horses from Lizzie
BarneA an Indian woman livini
near Vamoose. He was defends
by B. A. Winter, who made s
most effective plea for his client.
The jury was unable to agree
and was discharged.*
