JAMES T. GRIFFIN, NOMINEE FOR
PROBATE JUDGE
James T. Griffin has lived in
Pond Creek since 1893,and during
all that time not a word has been
said against him that could possibly
reflect on his honesty, integrity or
square dealings. He is recognized
as absolutly honest, reliable and
trustworhy, and will make such a
Probate Judge that everyone will
feel and know that to have a case
in Judge Griffin's court he will get
even handed justice, impartially ad-
ministered.
Mr. Griffin is a Fusionist, and
worked hard at Oklahoma City to
procure Territ.Qf.iftl %^tTiis*county

placed in the Fusion ranks on the
8th day of November.— Grant

The nomination of James T.Grif-
fin for the office of probate judge
meets with popular favor among
the voters throughout the county.

ity as an attorney. His election to

sure accurate and impartial decis
ions to one and all. We have known
Mr. Griffin personally for a long
time and take pleasure in recomend
ing him to the voters as an abso
lute safe and reliable man. He is
not a farmer, but what he lacks in
knowledge of the farm is made up
in legal ability and secret society
work,he being a prominent member

fered one week with Iwwel trouble and

ting any relief, when my friend, Mr.
C. Johnson, a merchant here, advised me

had taken the third dose was entirely
cured. I thank you from the bottom of
my heart for putting this remedy in the
hands of mankind." For sale by all
