with the advice that they wait
awhile before getting married.

Finertys Expand.
President Finerty, of the Fin-
erty Bank of this city, informs
the Beacon reporter that they
have oiganized and will open a
new bank at Bbrton as soon as
the necessary ch irter can be pro-
cured and a building erected for
their use. Speaking of (he build-
ing, he said that they would erect
a substantial brick building on
the corner opposite the Tidball
and Bennett drug store, one of
the choice locations of the town.
He is loud in his praise* of the
country surrounding our neigh-
boring town and thinks the pos-
sibilities there are great for build-
ing up a thriving town, To one
who drives over that section of
the country, this conelusi. n must
be concurred in. Mr. Finerty
was not inclined to divulge the
nanus of the officers who will

Medicine
Aycr's Cherry Pectoral is not
a simple cough syrup. It is a
strong medicine, a doctor's
medicine. It cures hard cases,
severe and desperate cases,
chronic cases of asthma, pleu-
risy, bronchitis, consumption.
Ask your doctor about this.

have ctarge. At present they tiv
representee 1 there by Mr. J. W.
Lumbright, formerly in the bank
here, who wdl have charge of the
business until 'he bank is in run-
ning order. The business fore-
sight of Mr. Finerty is patent
wh n one 1 >oks over the country
that will be tributary to his line
jf bank*. Beginning at Cordell
and swinging down by Rocky and
on to the west side of the country,
all of which is served, or will be
served, by his banks, comprizes
the very best part of the farming
country of the county. We con-
gratulate our neighbor on getting
another institution in their town
such as this one.
Bankruptcy Court Busy.
Judge Barker, referee in bank-
ruptcy of this district, held a ses-
sion of the bankruptcy court here
for threo or four days last week,
hearing the cases of J. W. Bratch-
er, the Cloud Chief bankrupt,
and W. H. King, a merchant who
went into voluntary bankruptcy
at Sully. In the Bratcher case the
referee ordered the trustee to sue
Mrs. Bratcher to recover $600
which was taken from Bratcher's
store and put into a farm sh«
owns; and a suit was ordered
against the First National Bank
for an accounting of collate! al
paper held by it for several thou
sand dollars.
In the King case the examina-
tion developed that the mortgage
held by Berry on the homestead
was never acknowledged by tho
wife, and the trustee was ordered
to appear in the foreclosure suit
of Berry to foreclose on the mort-
gage. W. II. Dixon was appoint-
ed trustee in the King case.
Arthur Alley, who for the past
six months has been acting as
cashier of the tfurton State Bank,
resigned his pbsition and left last
Thursday for Chillicothe, Texas,
where he takes the position of as-
sistant cashier in one of the banks
of that place. Arthur is a young
man of steriing worth and a good
banker. We commend him to
the business interests of his new
home as strictly all light. Mrs.
Alley will stay with Mr. Alley's
folks here for a couple of weeks.
Messrs. F. C. and F. P. Finer-
ty were in Barton a number pf
days the past week negotiating
for the purchase of the Barton
State Bank and some lots. They
closed a deal for the real estate,
but have decided to establish a
new bank rather than buy the
one there.
Caddo county democrats have
decided to nominate their county
ticket by the primary system and
have set August 15 as the date for
holding their election. By the
Anadarka Democrat we see that
they are preparing to sweep the
county of the remaining republi-
can officials from the field this
fell. Here's bopin'.
G. W. McGrawhad some thou-
sand circulars printed at this of-
fice for distribution over t{ie
county advertising his insurance
business. Mr. McGraw is a hust
ler and his coinpauy, though
comparatively new, is pushing
for the business of this section.

ho.-t of friends go with them to
their new home.
Mr. Manning had the misfor-
tune to lose a very valuable horse
a few days ago with blind stag-
gers. Thousands of dollars worth
of horses and mules die every
year in this part of the country
that I honestly believe could
have been tav*d by an ounce of
preventive. And the preventive
is, feed oats once a day, one big
bundle or one gallon shelled oats.
Ob! but some say, "oats cost
money." Yes, brother, and so
horses cost money. Sow oats.
Three acres of oats will feed a
team through the crices.
