There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Root. the great k. Jney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain In the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
cf the urinary passage. It corrects Inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing

wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra-
Senator Hansbrough sai s "we are ordinary effect of Swamp.Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won-
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

A Card of Appreciation
The rank and file of democrats in
this New State are getting greatly
disgusted with the constitutional
convention's doings. They expec
ted great things when democrats
were given a "chance" ami it be-
gins to look as though their expecta
tions were to be dashed to the
ground by the performance of their
delegates. They were aware that
lepublicans could be depended upon
to line their pockets well at the
public expense; but the thought that
democrats would out Herod the
republicans at the "graft" game, if
given an opportnnity, never seems
to have entered their minds. It is
beginning to dawn 011 them now
however and they are muttering and
sputtering around and threatening
wh<U dire vengance they will wreak
on democrats at next opportunity;
but they will cool off in time to
"vote 'er straight" at next election.
l he constitutional convention we
understand adjourned for two weeks
|on full pay with understanding that
if at end of the 60 days time alloted
constitution was not framed the
members would>serve until constitu
tion was framed without further
pay It would seem that members
have fully determined to draw pay
for 60 days. In view of the fact
(that a 60 da) s session promises to
| create a > e ciency of something like
1 #150,000 it would seem that a body
of men who have never missed an
: opportunity to denounce unnec-
jessary expenditure of public monies
I would rather fig ite on less than 60
days instead 01 attempting to make
sure of requiring the full limit of
time allowed. Had democrats met
framed a constitution and adjourned
in 30 or 40 days they would have
been able to point to-this fact as a
record made by them along the line
of public economy and same would
have been proof conclusive of dem
ocratic pretentions to economy; but
to use up the 60 days time alloted
and milk every dollar possible out
of the job is as much as republicans
could have done, and all this talk
of making good at clof-e of the 60
days by serving without pay for days
enjoyed as holidjys is hogwash.
The constitution will be framed
by time the 6 > days expire. It will
be hurredly framed !>y delegates;
but skillfully drafted by men not
elected by people but who will gen-
erously assist in the work in the
rush of the closing days of the ses-
sion. I he chances are good that

"Ring Out the Old,
Ring in the New,"
And with the advent of the new we
wish to publicly thank each and

made successful our efforts to
reach a higher plane of merchan-
dising, by patronizing a store
which makes quality and fair deal-
ing Its foundation. In accordance
with custom we make just one
business resolution: To bend
every effort to make this store

WE WISH YOU ALL A

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

"The
NORMAN,
Ephraim,
The Comptroller of the Currency,
Mr. Ridgely, In his report to the
present session of Congress, says the
deposits in banks of all kinds in the
United States amount to twelve bil-
lion dollars, as against five billion
sixteen years ago. This is an increase
of seven billion dollars. We are giv-
ing his figures in round numbers, the
exact figures showing an increase of
more than seven billions. These fig-
ures sonnd good The people have
seven hillion dollars more money de-
posited in banks than they had six-
teen years ago. And it is really good
for those who have the deposits. But
there is another side to the story
these figures tell. The banks hive
not in their vaults more than one
billion dollars of the twelve billions
of deposits. The balance has been
loaned ojt. So that while there was
a vast increase in deposits there was
also a vast increase in indebtedness.
This is the way deposits are built up:
Mr. Smith borrows say ten thousand
dollars, gives his note for the amount
and takes a desposit credit on the
bank's books for the amount. Pre
sumably he immediately checks a-
gainst this credit, draws out his
money by giving checks to others,
who deposit his checks with that or
some other bank. So Mr. Smith's
note caused an increase in deposits
to the amount of ten thousand dol-
lars. Hun4reds of thousands of peo-
ple have thus borrowed and thereby
increased bank deposits. There is
only about a billion dollars more
money now than there was sixteen
years ago, hence about six billions of
the increase in deposits has been
brought about by people borrowing
at the banks. The debt inflation is
tremendous. Some day there will be
a few big failures, people will become
anxious about their money in the
banks, many of them will want the
actual cash to hide away, the banks
will have to refuse to renew loans,
then many business men will go to
the wall and there will be the great-
est bank panic the world has ever
seen. There never has been a time
in any country when banks owed to
the people and the people owed to
the banks so much as is the case in
the United States at this time. Just
think of it! The banks owa the peo-
ple seven billion dollars more than
they did sixteen years ago, and there
is only about a billion dollars more
to pay with than there was then.
And borrowers owe the banks billons
more than they did then.—Mo. World

It seems buf a short time
ago since we hung- out our mod-
est "Harness Shop Sign" in
Norman and began soliciting
the trade of the good people of
Cleveland county. This was in
the year 1891 and Norman at
that time had a population of
only about 1200. From the be-
ginning we enjoyed a liberal
share of the patronage of the
people and with every succeed-
ing year as the population of
Norman and Cleveland county
increased our trade increased
in volume ?nd our old customers
brought as ne<T customers.
Our aim has'ever been to deal
honestly with our customers

our aim. is evidenced by fact
thae we are still supplying the
