Obituary
In remembrance of our friend Miss
Georgia McKee who died Saturday,
Feb. 18. 1006.
On lsst Saturday afernoon while
the clock was strlcklng the h >ur of :t
tbe angel of death crossed tbe thies-
bold of the McKee home and carried
away from this old world of suffering
tbe sweet spirit of their third daught
er, Miss Georgia, after only Ave short
days of suffering.
Oh! bow sad to see her suffer so
much and to know tbat medical aid
could not relieve her, although every
thing was done s
Georgls was a dearly beloved girl
and won many a friend by her win-
ning ways and sweet disposition who
will si ways remember her as tbe
sweet true besrted girl that she was
and | although she has gsne from
among us and we can never again look
Into those sweet blue eyes or never
again hear the loving tone of her
voice, we can look upon the little
mound and know that beneath It
sleeps one tbat was dearjto our hearts
and that In the land where all Is pure
and holy we shall some dav meet to
part no more, the lovely celestial
spirit of ou~ friend who has only -gone
on before to welcome our coming.
Yes. Georgia tau form from anon* ua.
And oh! how we'll ulan h r sweet fac«.
No natter how many came and go
No one can All her recant place.
Her father and mother Idolized her.
She waa her elatera pride.
And the aaddeat hour of all their life
Waa when their dear OeorRla died.
Do not weep for dear Georgia aad motner,
Although «he la laid In the temk.
Bat renu mber that In the bowers of Eden
She is planted forever to bloom.
Don't grieve for OeorRla loving ulster*.
For eoon In tbe grave you must He.
And then whan you meet her In Heaven.
Never again will you have to aay irood bye
Vee Georgia haa gone from >tmong you.
And left a vacant place In your home.
But think how with the angela In Heaven
Her feet will ever more roam.
Y ee Georgia Is gone, but not forgotten.
Beyond will her eweet face be,
For aooa with a convoy of angels
■he'll stand waiting to welcome thee.
Yes, we know the world eeemi aad without
her.
For a he waa ao kind and eo true
But think of her aa an angel In Beaven
anxiously waiting to irelceme you.
INCREDIBLE BRUTALITY
K.fL.7.ou!? ~ b**® bee0 incredible
brutality If Chaa. F Lemberger, of
Syracuse. V Y , had not done the
best he could for bis suffering soo.
• My boy," he says, cut a fearful
gash over his eye, so I applied Buck
SalT#' wh4ob -qu'clrlv
healed It and saved his eye. ' Goon
for burns and uloers too. Only 26c
at all drug stores.
Denied the License
Tbe application of Ed Flioes and
Joe Clark for liquor license camc up
for hearing before the County Com-
missioners Ja*t Thursrlay. The ap-
plicants were represented bv Attor-
ney's Jones, Lucky and Brown' while
tbe remonstrators were represented
by J. W. Smith. Attorney Smith
began by objecting to tbe notice call-
ing tbe Commissioners together, rais-
ing the point tbat the notice being
by letter, was In conflict with tbe
statute which requires the notice to
be published in the newspaper, and
'bich has been the practice hereto-
fore, but the polut was overruled
He next raised tbe point that tbe
notice as published In* the Herald-
Sentinel was not a good notice, ow-
ing to the fact tbat It stated that all
the signers were represented as llvlr g
on ''lot 13". He further objected to
tbe application on tbe ground that
the application was made tn behalf
of a "firm ' while tbe statute brovldes
the license may be Issued to a "man"
of Bood character Other objections
were made to the qualification of
tbe petitioners, and tbe proof tbat
they had shown such qusllfication
Some of the objections were sustained
by the Commissioners at the time
while others were overouled, but, at
tbe ronoluslon of the'ease the Board
was unanimous in deneylng tbe li-
cense. One of the Incidents of the
trial was tbe speech of Attorney
Lucky in which] be made It plain
that be believed tbe Commissioners
were Influenced by public sentiment
and bad really prejudged the case.
In the vernacular of the street, be
"skinned" the Commissioners, but at
the same time burled tbe last hope
his clients might entertain of ob
talnlng a license.

COWS AND CASH.
No country on earth Is better adapt-
ed to tbe dairy business than la Okla-
homa. Her mild water, virgin soil,
her abundance of feed aad forage
crops, above all tbe aggressiveness and
genius <jf her yeomanry all oomblae
to make her the Ideal milk produc-
ings tate.
The Industry, however, Is merely In
Its infancy and at thla stage there Is
great danger that the falae methods
and unbuaineaallke schemes which are
so likely to be Indulged in by thoee
who are not fully posted1 may dlsoour-
age and hold back her proper develop-
ment.
Fcr tbe past two or three years
there have been many stock organiza-
tions formed to build small creameries
by subscription. Amounta from S3S00
to S5000 are subscribed to put up a
•1500 plant, the balance generally go-
ing to tbe promoters. On account of
tbe industry being new, the creamery
Is not generally pstronii9d, and tbe
result Is failure net only to pay divi-
dends on stock but even to pay run-
ning expenses tbe year roand. All
this gives a black eye to the business.
Legitimate oencerns, however, are
operating in this territory offering to
the up-to-date farmer a proposition
upon which big profits on bis Invest'
ments a-e absolutely sure. The hand
separator has moved the skimming
station from the town to the farm,
and now tbe cream Is marketed just
as butter was ia the old skimming
station days. Let no farmer be in-
veigled into taking stock In a amall
creamery or skimming station, but
rather let him Invest in his own skim-
ming station and keep it on his farm,
marketing his cream wherever he can
find tbe best market. Thus he le sure
of a good big lot of good rreab milk for
feed and a good price for his butter-
fat besides. Good farmj separators
can be had for tbe price of a harvest-
er, and ten timee the value of milk
can be put through tbe separator as
compared wltb tbe value of grain
tbat can be bandied wltb a harvester.
Let tbe farmers of Oklahoma make
no mistake but thoroughly investi-
gate this proposition before tbey In-
vest tbeir good bard money.
Editor Soderburg of tbe Foes Knter-
prise was down from that city as a
witness in tbe Hinee and Clark liquor
case before the Commissioners Fri-
day.
