of Talihina.
Last Friday the Interior de-
partment made a favorable re-
port on the bill authorizing the
sale of the mineral deposits of
the Chick Choc, segregated area
and the bill is under considera-
tion by a subcommittee of the
house and senate Indian com-
mittees.
Joe Morris of the state elec-
tion board has appointed I. H.
Windsor of Bokoshe as the Le-
Fore county registrar.
"Let Fred do it!" Gen. Fred
Funsten will handle the Mexican
situation properly if left up to
him. We know, because he is of
the Kansas republican stock.
That Talihina bunch is exhib-

any set of men in the state.
They simply don't know when
to quit when they get started,
and unless all signs fail they are
goin^ to keep on hammering till
they get a good road from Paris
to Fort Smith. We'd like to see
LeFlore, Wister,Poteau and Cam-
eron get into the game with the
same spirit that Talihina has.

Announcement.
To the Democrats of LeFlore
County.
This is to announce that I a'li
a candidate for the office of slier
iff of LeFlore county, subject to
the action of the primary on the
1st of August.
I have been a resident of this
vicinity for 32 years and have
served four years as a deputy
sheriff under Mr. Noble and Mr.
Wagnon and invite you to inves-
tigate my record if you do not
know it. 1 also served four years
under Grandstaff in Scott coun-
ty, and I also ask you to inves-
tigate my record there, iry resi-
dence having been at Coldale,
Arkansas.
I was born in Alabama in 1H70
and moved to Scott county in
1884, and moved to Heavener 8
years ago. I will endeavor to
see every democrat in the coun-
ty, but as my means are very
limited 1 will possibly not be
able to do so. I do pot believe
in trying to tear the other fel
low down in order to build my-
self up, therefore I will go in on
my merits and sling no mud,
and if lam defeated I wiM try
to help elect the democrat that
gets the nomination.
Assuring you that I will ap-
preciate your support and make
you a good sheriff if elected,
I am vours trulv,
C. F. JOHNSON,
Heavener, Okla.
Edgar Key for Sheriff.
To the democratic voters of
LeFlore county:
This is to say that I have de-
cided to make the race in the
coming primly for the office of
sheriff of LeFlore county, and
by request of my friends 1 am
sending out this letter as a pre-
liminary announcement to that
end. Having served for a per-
iod ef something like seven years
as deputy sheriff, I feel that I
have the qualifications -to take
care of the duties of that office.
Later on 1 expect to make my
regular announcement and be-
girt the campaign in earnest,and
hope to meet each and every
demosrat in the county.
Yours truly,
EDGAR KEY.
W. P. Wood of Star has discov-
ered that there was something
very appropriate in the members
of the Oklahoma legislature sing
ing "Nearer triv God to thee"
during the recent riot in the
house of representatives. He re-
calls that that was what the band
played as the Titanic sank, and
suggest thit evidently the dem-
ocratic members felt that their
ship was sinking.

Maiority of Friends TL.jught Mr.
Hughes Would Die, But
One Helped Him to
Recovery.
Pomeroytcn, Ky.—In interesting ad-
vices from this place, Mr. A. J. Hughes
writes as follows: "I was down with
•tomach trouble for five (5) years, and
would have sick headache so bad, at
iimes, that I thought surely I would die.
1 tried different treatments, but they
did not seem to do me any good.
I got so bad, I could not eat or sleep,
ind all my friends, except one, thought I
vould die. He advised me to try
fhedford's B'?ck-Drauglit, and auitl
taking other medicines. I decided f
take his advice, although I did not have
any confidence in it.
I have now been taking Black-Draught
for three months, and it has cured me—
haven't had those awful sick headachy
since I began using it.
1 am so thankful for what Black-
Draught has done for me."
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
found a very valuable medicine for de-
rangements of th^ stomach and liver. K
is composed of pure, vegetable herbs,
contains no dangerous ingredients, and
acts gently, y2t surely. It can be freely
used by young and old, and should be
kept in every family cheU.
