Lincoln County News
As Told by Our Correspondents and County Exchanges
M
v!
MEEKER.
A good many of our farmers have
disposed of their surplus feed by the
fire process.
The farmers' gin has shut down
for the season. There is still some
cotton to be picked.
The socialists of Seminole say
there will be a ticket in the field
from their party. There are lots of
them.
More frost and some more 'dead
peaches and plums. The peach
crop on the bottoms will surely be a
light crop.
( ulver & Son have added a large
stock of clothing to their general
merchandise. This may keep out of
town the all-wool clothing outfits
that come in the summer and leave
when the cotton season is over. The
people that pay the taxes are the
ones that ought to have the business.

Yeast Foam is the yeast that
makes the best bread, of the
best flavor, you ever tasted.
Yeast Foam is the yeast
that never grows lifeless,
stale or sour, but is always
fresh, sweet and ready for
use.
Yeast Foam is the best
and most reliable yeast
made, regardless
of cost.

is a dry, compressed
yeast, compounded of
malt, hops, corn and other
healthful ingredients, in the
sweetest and cleanest factory
in the world. No matter how
long you have kept it, Yeast
Foam is always ready to pro-
duce the freshest, nuttiest
bread that can be made.
| The secret is in the yeast.
All grocers sell it at 5c

age contains 7 cakes—
enough to make 40
loaves. Send for our

Nearly all the plowing is done and
some corn already planted. We
need a rain badly. The wheat es-
pecially needs it. Some fields will
be ruined by the wind soon.
Two more good Missouri republi-
cans have come to Lincoln county to
stay. They are Messrs. Lillburn
and Speers from Kirksville, Mo.
These men are relatives of Jas.
Frost, of South Seminole.
There are some men here who
want to take their little troubles up
to the grand jury; spite work and to
get even cheap. These are the fel-
! lows that grunt so loud about high
taxes. South Choctaw don't need
any grand jury.
It is rumored there will be a can-
didate for commissioner from Meeker
and a candidate from Prague for
treasurer. If this is so it will be a
strong south side combination. We
of the growing cities of the south
side begin to feel our oats.
We notice the question of raising
the salaries of the president to $75-
000 and members of congress to
$8,000, and cabinet officers to $15-
000, is being agitated again. We
believe these salaries should be
doubled and our legislation at home
should have six dollars in place of
three. Now some poor tax ridden
fellow jump onto this, there is rootn
for argument.
