Admiral Togo, Generals Oyama
and Linevitch have all been rele-
gated to obscurity, and the man
who, these days, receives the most
space in the press, is the ball player
who can bat the most home runs.
We have never seen the upland
prairies in this part of the country
grow as good corn as they are grow-
ing this year. The stalks are large,
a dark rich green in color, and a
large developed ear hanging from
every stalk.
The drilling of the oil well contin-
ues in such a determined manner,
that leaves no doubt of the intent of
the operators to either find oil or
having placed to their credit the
stubborn fact of sinking one of the
deepest wells in Oklahoma.—Tryon
News.
I It is now estimated that the cot-
ton -rop of Oklahoma this year will
be the largest in the territory's his-
tory, notwithstanding the reduced
acreage. This estimate is based
upon the usual weather conditions
from this time of year on through
the remainder of the season, and
the exceptionally fine condition of
the crop at present. 1 hs corn acre-
age s alnos*. double the acreage of
any previous year, and the yield is
the best the terri ory has ever made.
The potato raisers are the only ones
who have lost out, and thtir misfor
tunes were due to low prices, and
not to light yields. All ot the smal-
ler crops and the hay crops are ex-
ceptionally h^avy.
Lincoln county is in the front rank
in educational progre^ in Oklahoma.
She took the lead in the numoer of
ommon school graduates this year,
; nd now com- s the report that the
j enrollment of teachers at the Nor-
mal Institute has reached a total of
208—the largest of any county in
the territory. Woods county fol-
lows with an enrollment o£ 185
The average attendance over the
territory is about 125. The interest
taken in education in this county is
a source of much pride, and the per
cent of illiteracy is perhaps as low
as any community of the same area
in the United States.
An exchange printed the following
marriage ceremony, which was said
by a Tennessee squire a short time
ago : "Wilt thou take her for thy
pard, for better or for worse, to have
and guard her until hauled off in a
hearse? Wilt thou let her have her
way, consult her many wishes ; make
the fires every day and help her wash
the dishes? Wilt thou consult her
mother, Aunt Jemmia and uncle John,
three sisters and a brother?" And
his face grew pale and blank ; it was
too late to j it her so to the floor he
.etbly :>an'^ and slowly said "I wilt."
Have you heard of the town of
No-Good, ond the bands of the river
Slow, where Something or other
scents the air and the soft Go-easys
grow? It lies in the valley of What'r-
the-use, in the province ot Let-her-
slide; it's the home of the reckless
I-don't -care, where Give-it-ups
abide. The town is as old as the
human race and it grows with the
light of years; is wrapped in the
fog of an idlers' dream and is sprink-
led with useless tears.—Edmond Sun.

The dairy business is one of the
coming industries of this country,
providing tame grasses thrive. We
have been told that more butter can
be produced from a given quantity of
milk by the use of the cream sepa-
rator, than by the use of the old
method. Every farmer whom we
have have talked with, and who has
given the separator a thorough test
pronounces its use prolitable. The
butter thus produced will bring a
higher market price ths year around.
The managing editor, says the
Washington Life, wheeled his chair
around and pushed a button in the
wall. The person wanted entered.
"Here," said the editor, "are a num-
ber of directions from outsiders as
to the best way to run a newspaper.
See that they are all carried out."
And the oflice boy, gathering them
all into a large basket, did so.
Remember last winter you said
you wished it would get warmer?
And now you are wishing for cooler
weather. Man is always wishing
for something he hasn't got. When
it's hot he wants it cold, when it's
cold he wants it hot; always wanting
what is not.
There is one verse in the Bible
that contains all the letters in the
alphabet except the letter j. It is
the twenty-first verse of the seventh
chapter of Ezra.
