It is now estimated that 150,-
000 will bo about the number of
registrations for the 18,000 home-
steads in the Kiowa country.
Every man owes it to himself
to put forth a little effort now
and then for the advancement of
the general interests of the com
inunity even if he can see no di-
rect benefit to himself.-
The Nowata Air is putting in
some good licks for Lee Comer,
caudidate for councilman on the
Downing ticket, and if he is not
elected by an overwhelming ma-,
jority it will not be the fault of
Editor Whitesides.
The hay shed of Wm.Foreman,
who lives a few miles north of
town, was struck by lightning
during Monhay evening's storm
and set on lire. The shed con-
taiud 871 bales of hay which
were all destroyed. —Tahlequah
Advocate
At best, life is not very long.
A few more smiles, a few more
tears, some pleasure, much pain,
sunlight and songs, clouds and
darkness, hasty greetings, ab-
rupt farewells—then our littfe
play will close, and injurer and
injured will pass away. Is it
worth while to hate each other?
Among tho teachers from
Claremore who attended the re-
cent Cherokee normal school at
Tahlequah, it is noticed that
Prof. E. C. Alberty and Misses
Mattie Eaton and Minta Fore-
man passed such excellent ex-
aminations that they were given
prominent positions on tho roll
of honor.
The many friends of W. H.
Edmund son will be interested to
learn that he has become a Bene-
dict He was married at Oswego.
Kansas, on Thursday of last
week to Miss Myrtle Stoneschp-
fer, an accomplished young lady
of that city. The Messenger ex-
tends hearty congratulations.
Tho Nowata Air states that
John W. McCracken of Watova
is thinking seriously of with-
drawing from the race for coun-
cilman on the downing ticket
The reason given is that he
thinks ho will be unable to de-
vote as much time to the canvas
as would be necessary to secure
election.
Collinsville's first municipal
election will be held tomorrow.
The lawabiding citizens, fcaiiug
that rowdies might make the ex*
citment incident to the electioij
the occasion for creating a dis
turbance to disgrace the town,
they therefore sent invitations
to Commissioner Jennings. Mar-
shal Trail and John Leach of thifc
city requesting their presence in
Collinsville tomorrow to assist in
maintaining order. It is under-
stood the officers have arranged
to be there.
The little colo y of pleasure
and comfort seekers who camped
a week or more on tlid banks of
the Verdigris river, this morn-
ing pulled up stakes and return-
ed to the city, leaving "sunset
cove" as silent and lonely as the
grave of a monk. The experience
of the colony may be the moans
of giving the local physicians a
little extra employment, yet af-
ter all. they had a splendid time
and will have nothing t j regret
as soon as they lose their freck-
les and regain their health.
There is no panacea for poverty
and woe in this world but our ob-
servation is that the man who
milks his own cows, feed his own
pigs, grows his own vegetables
and his own corn, rains his own
horses and mules, builds his own
barns and fences and has a small
surplus of some staple crop to sell
and thus pay his taxes, his doc-
tor's and bruggist's bills, buys
his coffee, clothing and school
books, is the man who has the
world by the throat and whose
wife is the happiest and stays
young longest.
Backward, turn backward, oh
time in your flight, feed me on
gruol again just for tonight; I
am so weary of sole leather
steak; petrified biscuit and vul-
canized cake; oysters that sleep
in a watery bath, and butter as
strong as Goliah of Gath; weary
of paying for what I can't eat,
chewing up rubber and calling it
meat. Backward, turn back-
ward, how weary I am: give me
a swipe at grandmother's jam;
let me drink milk that hasn't
been skimmed; let me cat butter
whose whiskers are trimmed; let.
mo once more have an old-fash
ioned pie, and then I'll be ready
to curl up and die.
The horse race Saturday after-
noon up near Foyil was witness-
ed by a largo number of lovers
of the rnce track from all parts
of tho Territory. Tho race was
pulled off on time, and although
several dollars were lost and
won. tho result was notcontested
and everything passed off peace-
ably. Tho sorrel horse of J. W.
Creekmoro beat Sam Francis'
bay mare about <J5 feet in the
quarter mile dash. The Francis
mare got the start some 30
feet and finished about 65 feet be
hind. It was very clearly dem-
onstrated to the spectators, and
especially to those who had
backed the Francis mare, that
she was matched with a horse
who was entirely ahead of her
class. Considerable money
changed hands. Some of the en-
thusiastic parties who went from
Claremore won nice sume, while
other came home "troubled with
the shorts."
