From the way m which the
Mississippi Choctaws have applied
fur citizenship it seems that tliey
arc a prolitic set of people
Unless McCurtaiu is elected it

Now is the proper and accepted
time for the Wapanucka business
uieu to begin talking lip the
town as a cotton market Sooner
we begin talking tho better
From a moral standpoint society
isn’t auy better off today than it
was a score of years ago People
wear better clothes now but that
don’t make them in the least any
better
The little town on the north
side which does so much talking
will probably know who hit Billey
Patterson about two months from’
now when Wapanucka opens up
her cotton buying mill
The larger portion of Roff went
up in the smoke Tuesday night
One solid rdock of wooden build-
ing occupied with stocks of goods
were entirely consumed The
loss is said to be great
The Press would be glad for
someone to tell what has become
of the move to get the people to
getber on the building of a school
house" We must build a school
house and wuke up a public
school - -
