We don't mind furnishing

think it's 1 right—to have our
labor and effort along this I could no longer stand their
line turned over to the oppo- (insults and they were destroy-
sition without even as much as led! In Prague, the desire to
a "thank you'
have done.
It seems to us that some peo-
ple carry about their persons
on purpose, "touchy-spots"
just in order to work up a
grievance, especially when
they happen to feel them-
selves under obligations to
others for favors shown. "Oh,

plate of H;m who careth for

when he says "lay your treas-
ures up in Heaven, where
thieves enter not, nor where
the moth nor rust corrupt
not." We are all sinful and

"SECOND FIDDLE.-'
m
Every indication now points
to Prague playing "second
fiddle" in the development of
oil industries and other mat-
ters of like nature. With not i ❖
enough enterprise and ambi- ^
tion in the town to hold to- &
gether the semblance of a
commercial organization, with
business institutions so narrow
and selfish that they get sore
at each other over the flim-
siest excuses or pretexts, with
a continuous growling and
grappling at each others
throats, there is 110 wonder
that the town does not grow
nor prosper. It is high time
that such conditions were
eliminated. We could go into
detail in regard to this mat-
ter and mention numerous oc-
casions, but that would only
be adding fuel to the flames
so let it suffice without men-
tioning any names or occur-
rences, but let us all get to-
gether, lay aside petty griev-
ances, personal jealousies and
work for a greater Prague!
It can be done, and done for
the betterment of all. Why
allow the canker worm ot
contention and discord to de-
stroy the flower of prosperity
and commercial progress when
its work can be so easily
stopped? Let's all unite in a
big get-to-getiier movement
for the upbuilding of Prague,
your town and mine, "our
town," which can so easily be
made the "REST" town in Cen-
tral Oklahoma. Are you with
us in the matter?
,enj "j j have become as dead men, and
nothing "but the'intervention of
God can save us from the
wrath to come. It is up to us,

unto God the th'ngs that are

will we take advantage of it
and get right before it's too
late? Attend the service to-
night.

Letter to W. G. Phillips,
Prague.
Dear Sir: There are two
sorts of furniture. You know
both; for you sell 'em both.
One sort looks better than it
is, and the other is better than
it looks. There isn't any other
sort.
The same, two sorts of
paint, no more; and we make
'em both—we make tons of
stuff that isn't worth its
freight. Belongs to the busi-
ness—have to. Belongs ta
your business—you have to.
But this is aside. We put.
into cans, with our name on,
the very best paint there is in
the world: Devoe lead-and-
zinc. It takes fewer gallons*
than mixed paints, and it
wears twice as long as lead-
and-oil.
Mr. C. O. Brown, of Colum-
bia, S. C., painted his house
with Devoe lead-and-zinc. The
painter, on seeing the quanti-
ty sent to the house, said there
wasn't enough. There were
ten gallons left, when the jol 
was done.
Yours truly,
F. W. DEVOE & CO.

sas City.

Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky.
"It certainly has no equal for la grippe, bad colds,
liver and stomach troubles. I firmly believe Black-Draught

they went in on her, but one good dose of Thedford's
