Today is the tomorrow about
which we worried yesterday
over the troubles which never
came
What-istbe matter with en-
' dorsing J J Clark for delegate
to the Baltimore convention from
the fourth congressional dis-
trict? A pessimist Is one who grum-
bles at Nature because there are
thorns upon a rose bush Anop-
timistis the fellow who only sees
the beauteous aromatic flower
with which she has adorned the
thorny bush
It is semi officially announced
here th&towiDg to a lack of funds
and the ability of the atate au-
thorities to cope witli any situa-
tion that may arise that the De-
partment of Justice will make no
effort to enforce the prohibition
law in eastern Oklahoma under
the decision of the Court of Ap-
peals in the freedman case
What has become of the Tish-
omingo Commercial Club Thes-
organizations can by constani
work' do a world of good for a
town for more good can be ac-
complished by organized work
than by individual effort in the
building up of any town
The most effective weapon a
man canarm himself with as a
means of protection from others
on his journey through this
good old world is kindly courte-
sy And the best thing about this
superior and never failing weap-
on is the fact that there is no
law either bn man or divine pro
bibiting a man from carrying it
or even using it without due
provocation upon any man who
may chance to cross bis path ‘
That Johnston conniy la enti-
tles to senatorial honors seems to
be conceded by oar sister coun-
ty Marshall and at present
there seems to be a growing sen-
timent for our friend Edwin L
Lucas of Tishomingo for that
important place Well Ed is a
Johnston county man a forceful
speaker a democrat of the Ark
ausas variety and these are char-
acteristics that should be looked
for in selecting A state senator
— Milburn News
There seems to be a growing
idea that the government should
take care of the citizens furnish
them raiment and food chewing
tobacco and snuff clothes and
liquor We have always been
taught that it was the duty of
the citizens to support the gov-
ernment aDd not the government
the jieuple Lets get back to the
old time system of simple laws
and living at home Less cus-
sing of the affairs of state and
more boosting of our own com-
munities There is nothing that adds
more to the itnporance of a town
as a commercial center or that
insures a steady cash trade to its
bus:ness firms than does the
location of manufacturing plants
within its limits — factories that
will convert the raw materials
of the locality into finished mer-
chantable articles of commerce
Tie: p:y l'oii -f such foCloi i-‘S
would ecab’ethe merchants have
a good cash tr-'le e en during a
bad cropyear and the best part
o' t istla tiie money for the
1 v r’h c uiK-s fr m other towns
and other states to which the
home manufactured articles are
shipped and sold
If you aro satisfied thatTisho-
rilrgo is a good place in which
to live don’t be backward about
letting others know just what a
wide-awake hustling little city
our town really is Make him
fed that be is welcome within
our gates and that there is plen-
ty of room in our midst for more
men of progressive spirit and
good character and show him
numerous advantages Tishomin-
go has to offer the prospective
home-seeker or business man
who is seeking a desirable loca-
t on -But if you are not satisfi-
ed and don’t like the town in
which you live if you are a mis-
erable knocker for the sake of
dtcency get up seek another
pl tee and don’t stand around a
Mumbling block in the path of
progress The world hasn’t any
use for a knocker any way and
his room is always worth more
to a town in a day than bis pres-
ence would be in a life time

The country school baa aome
distinct advantages incident to
country life such aa democratic
spirit of pupil practical manual
training at borne nearness to na-
ture self reliance of pupils good
school and 'community morals
Jew distractions and sensible
' habits of living
Young men and women trained
in the country life and the conn
try school often move to the town
orcity and they surpass tbeii
city trained -cousins A good
country school is better than the
town school for the country
child but the poor country school
is an awful wrong against the
welfaie of the young people The
poor country school is not a nec-
essary evil Many country
schools are today producing ex-
cellent results and where schools
are not gooC it is because thi
parents and officials have not
done their part in raising suffi-
cient money and then expending
it wisely for the best equipment
and the best teachers
The country school should and
coaid be made good enough to
stop further movement to the
city by those parents that desire
the best educational advantages
for their children Cities do put
more money per capita into their
schools than the country does
And if city schools are better
than country schools it is only
because of the fact that cities
pay more per pupil for schools
The country parent coaid pay
jast as much for the education of
a child as the city parent does
and be should do so The coun-
try parent cannot possibly make
aoy better investment than to
improve the school where his
child is educated' Rural tax-
payers complain of high taxes
but this complaint should not be
a) med at rural school taxes be-
cause the school tax is only a
portion of the total tax and the
school tax is not high in compar-
ison with the benefits and fur-
thermore school taxes in Okla
boma are not lrgh but low' in
comparison with school taxes in
many other states Much high-
er school taxes carefully expend
ed would eventually make the
country people not poorer but
richer To find fault is euy to
improve is more difficult and
more commendabl It is easy
to improve the country school if
the taxpayers of the county wish
t j do sol ”
The teacher of the country
school should be especially pre
pared for country school work
To bo trained for teaching in a
city school is not difficult
The rural teacher should love
the country life should know its
problems and their solution The
country teacher should not ba
one whom the city doesnotwant
but rather one whom the ci'y
cannot get
Courses of study and text
books for the country school
should be somewhat different
from those made for the city
They should offer elementiry ag-
riculture domestic science man-
ual training rural hygiene and
the adaption of all studies to the
needs of a useful country life
and to country citizenship
Country school rooms and
grounds should be as clean san-
itary and attractive as the best
homes The school grounds
should be the pride of the com-
munity The school library
should be the social and cultural
center of the community
The country school should
have more supervision The
city schools have found it wise
to employ a good supervisor for
every ten twenty or forty teach-
ers as the case may be Better
country schools will bring forth
a generation of country people
who will produce more wealth
because of improved methods
of agricnlture who will conserve
both wealth and health through
better knowledge of bigienewho
will get more enjoyment out of
life through culture and wisdom
who will help us solve onr 'great
problems of social and political
welfare through the means of an
intelligent citizenship and in
honeat ballot and who will ex
perience in every way a richer
larger nobler life— J H Bow-

Randolph Okla Feb 7 1912
To The Citizens of Tishomingo:
We are going to have a county
fair somewhere in Johnston coun
ty this fdll
The county commissioners
have agreed to make a levy of
a sufficient amount to give us
$13000 to ba used for the pur-
pose of paying premiums oa ag-
ricultural products 'raised this
season This is in connection
with our regular institute work
and heretofore we have held our
little fair in your city and hav
bad to depend on your business
men for contributions to offer as
premiums to which they have
ever responded very generously
It has been suggested that we
iu view of the fact that there are
several other towns in the coon
ty hold our county fair this year
in that town that will give the
greatest bonus which may con
aist of either money merchan-
dise machinery calves pigs or
chickens all snch to be listed
and value given of each article
and the whole guaranteed by the
banks of that town
This will give each town a
chance to compete for this and
the town that gets it will get
quite a lot of free advertising
besides other benefits
We want the men farmers and
the boy farmers to know this
now so they may begin"to lay
their plans for gathering in some
of these premiums If it is a
seasonable year we expect lo be
able to offer at least $300 00 in
premiums for exhibitors at our
fair this fall and we are going to
expect a lot of our biy farmers
