TO THE FARHERS
It has been my custom in the past at the close of each year to thank my friends and customers
for their liberal patronage, but, owing to the great increase in their numbers, it becomes impossible
for me to thank them personally and must resort to the newspapers. I appreciate the liberal patron-
age bestowed during the past year and will constantly endeavor to merit it.
Customers and patrons will find at my house the very best goods at the lowest price consistent with
honest and fair dealing, and while goods may be purchased for a little less money than I sell the best
for, it will be found that poor goods no matter how cheaply bought become the costliest in theend.
I will handle only the very best goods of the most reputable manufacturers. A glance over the list
will convince any farmer where he can best serve his own interests for the names are synonymous
with the highest merit.
Bain Wagons, fleering Binders and Mowers, Zanesville-Brown Cultivators, Buford Clipper Plows,
Charter Oak Stoves, Anchor Buggies and Spring Wagons, Champion Corn Planters, Farmers' Friend Corn
Planters and Check Rowers.
And in all other lines equally reputable goods. And as in the past I shall endeavor to take care
of those who have proved themselves worthy of confidence and credit.
Wishing all my customers and business friends the compliments of the season, I remain
Yours respectfully,
J AS. D. MAGUIRE

Tiik disposition of Oklahoma's
school lands will be one 01 the leading
questions to be considered when Okla-
homa becomes a state, and the aign-
ments, pro and eon, on the subject are
certainly worthy ot earelul considera-
tion. Tiik Thanscmpt therefore
publishes in full, this week, the ad-
dress of J'l of. F. S. Elder befoie the
teachers in Oklahoma City last week.
It contains the arguments In full of
those who desire the retention and
leasing of the lands and is certainly an
able exposition of that side 01 the
question.
