Cane hay must be cut and safe before the frosts. We count of what we honestly believe to be our inablity to
continue farther, leave off, believing such a course to be
for the best interest of all. We want to see Prague and
her people and her farmer patrons and supporters con-
tinue to grow in strength and prosperity, and enjoy the
richest blessings from that Great Master Workman, who
not only plans, but also creates; who by His infinite wis-
dom, tears down, so that He may make for the better,
and the recent seemingly severe drouth through which we
have just passed, has demonstrated that such was for the
better, giving us a more comprehensive view of our ina-
bility to produce unless we study the laws of God and
Nature and obey them. Just at present, we have not
decided as to where we will locate, for we have several
plp.oes in view where we will be welcomed, not only in
Oklahoma, but in other states, but during the remainder
of our stay in Prague we shall still continue to do all the
good and as little harm as we possibly can. We will no
longer accept yearly subscriptions to the Record, leaving
such for our successor, should we have one, but we now-
kindly and earnestly request all those who are owing us
for back subscription or for other work to please call and
settle their accounts by the middle of October, and if the
Record is discontinued on account of not being able to
sell by January 1st, all unexpired subscriptions will be
refunded prorata to the time that such have run.

The rain is interfering with the Fair in some respects
but it is a good Fair all the same. It is Lincoln County's
First Fair, and will be long remembered with pride by all
who have had a share in it.

The Editor, Mr. Nipper, is busy on the Fair ground
and hall this week. If you find anything in the paper
that doesn't suit you call and see the other man. He is
just as tough in hide as the "main guy" and will find
amusement in helping you over your grouch.
Judging from the excellent displays of farm products
■at the Fair this week, one can readly see why we say that
