LATE ADVICES ARE TO THE EF-
FECT THERE IS TO BE NO
.FURTHER DELAY.
Some days ago it was announced
that there was a probability of a de-
lay in the sale of the segregated sur-
• stringency of th<>
money market due to the European
war. J. George Wright, commiss-
ioner to the Five Civilized tribes
had advised that the sale be post-
poned another year.
This plan did not meet with the
approval of the people of this sec-
tion and they so expressed their dis-
approval in the-iorm of messages
and resolutions to the department
and to Congressman Carter, with
the result that now comes word that
there is to be no further delay, but
that the sale is to take piace on
schedule time, which is to be be-
tween the dates of November 1 f>
and" December 2, 1914.
Indian people in general will be
enhanced.
The football squad is down to
leal practice and no doubt a good
team will be developed. Hen Mc-
Curtain is coaching the team this
year, and if Hen can coach as well
as he used to play, there is trouble
in store for ail the teams who play
this popular Indian aggregation.

day) that the German right has
bet.n broken and now is being pur-
sued- by the allies. All the automo-
biles in northern France have been
requisitioned for the purpose of
pursuit.
'Armored motor cars with mitrail-
leuses also are being used to pur-
sue the retreating enemy.
'The official communication is-
sued at 3 o'clock demonstrates un-
mistakably that the Germans have
been surrounded in the Somme de-
partment, the French front extend-
ing farther east.
•It is stated officially that Par-
ontie has been recaptured.
The foregoing message, has been
referred to the British official press
bureau, which, while not objecting
to its publication, takes no respon-
sibility for its correctness.

the building, everything on the sec-
ond floor was destroyed ami in
many places the second floor fell in,
spreading the fire into all the rooms
on the ground floor and doing much
damage there.
As it happened, there were only
two automobiles in the shop, one of
them belonging to the company and
the dtber to John Elsing, and only
one er two vehicles were in the
paint shop upstairs. The vehicles
upstaha were destroyed but very
little damage was done to the guto-
mobiles on the first floor. A con-
siderable amount of material and
machinery was badly damaged Or $e-
strojfed and the building itself suf-
fered heavily. The building is own-
ed by H. T. Kirkpatrick. Both build-
ing and contents, it is said, were
pretty well insured so that the loss,
except for time from operation of
business, will not be large.
PRAYER SERVICE
INHRST BAPTIST CHURCH
In accordance with the ploclama-
tion issued some time ago by Presi-
tiont Wilson, designating October 4
as a day of spccial prayer for the
restoration of peac* among the war-
ring nations of Europe, union ser-
vices will be held in the First
Baptist church, at II o'clock.
Surely if there was ever an oc-
casion when the people of God
should feel constrained to center
their petition* "Open the definite
end, it is brought to «s by the pres-
ent crisis. With one accord the
prayer for the speedy termination of
this harvest of death, this devastat-
ing plague of destraction, should rise
from every heart which believes that
the cry of human need is heard
and heeded by the God of heaven.
It is to be hoped -hat the chris^

NEW SHAFT NO. 10
The new shaft No. 10 of the Rock
Island Coal Mining Co., which has
been in process of sinking for the
past several months, is down to
coal which was struck Friday at a
depth of. 583 feet. This opens up
another excellent vein of coal for
this company which will shortly be-
gin to very materially augment the
production of black diamond in this
field. This will be one of the best
equipped mining properties in the

ford to lose such citisens as he.
After- a much needed vacation he

and his many friends will rejoice
to learn of his promotion. Mr.
WilMs is to be succeeded by Fred
Cleckler, who resigns his position as
clerk at Jones Academy to accept
this plaee. Fred is a steady indus-
trious young man and we are sure

GETS SIXTH PUCE
IN EXHIBITS AT STATE FAIR,
RISING FROM 12TH PLACE
LAST YEAR.
Pittsburg county jumped from
twelfth place, last year, to sixth in
this year s competition with other
cAunties of the state on collective
fair at Oklahoma City, thereby mak-
ing i lie preatest advance of any
county in Oklahoma. McClain alone
of cast side counties ranks ahead of
Pittsburg. Premiums on county ex-
hibits have just been announced.
Caddo county, for the third con-
secutive year, won first honors.
Second honors were won by Cleve-
land county with 919.5 points as a
total score against 925 points for
Caddo, thus making a warmly con-
tested race. Competing closely with
Cleveland was Jackson county,
Wh eh won third plac0 with a total
scoro of 910.5. Other awards were
score 909.5; McClain, fifth, 000.5;
Pittsburg, sixth, 8t>3; Carter, seven-
th, 812; Tulsa, eighth, 801.5; Grady,
ninth, 793; Pottawatomie, tenth,
779; Canadian, eleventh, 766.5; Mc-
Intosh, twelfth, 655; Pontotoc, thir-
teenth, 650; Johnston, fourteenth,
590.
Pittsburg county's prize, for sixth
honors, was $90, an amount which
almost pays the cost of sending the
exhibit to the state fair.
The Pittsburg county exhibit waa
in charge of John White, federal
farm demonstrator; O. C. Cooper of
Ti township and Mr. and Mra. Joe
Howe of Savanna. Although Mw J
had hoped for even hotter ranking
in this year'a exhibita, they
well pieaaad with sixth place.
