Well, it is over. If you are
not glad, we will be glad twice
and keep up the average.
There is no use denying the
fact. The kaffir corn crop of
this section is going to be a hum-
mer. If all farmers in dry re-
gions could be induced to plant
more of this sort of feed, they
would be better off. It is the
saving of the country on many
an occasion.
The election has come and
gone and there is full many ah
aching void thereby. But, to
those candidates who were de-
feated before the primaries
there is this consolation: They
did their best, and now, being
good democrats, they will help
elect the democrats that are
nominated. Of course they will,
for they would have wanted the
other fellows to do tnat for them,
had they got the nomination.
Now, wouldn't you boys?
We hear some of the boys say
they will not support some of the
nominees of the democratic par-
ty. In the name of all that is
fair and honest, what did you
go into the primaries for? Did
you think you could win on every
thing on the ticket? If so, you
are past human, that's all. Let's
ivnn iK® thing around. Suppose
your man had been eicvico by
the primary to the nomination.
Would you thought hard of the
rest of the democrats if they
deserted him and left him to the
mercy of the other political par-
ties, to be slaughtered in Novem-
ber? Now, honest, would you?
If you think it all right to bolt,
then we say there is no use in
the world to have primaries at
all. They are a useless expense
and the practice is a foolish
waste of time, if they are not to
be observed at all.
The Cornelius Sale.
S. L. Cornelius was in the of-
fice this week and had bills print-
ed for his sale which takes place
on the 14th, at his home five and
one-half miles west of Sentinel.
See list in this paper.
The Oliver gang plow has no
side draft. Bolon Bros.

HOW IT HAPPENED.
The yueeii of Hearts
She made some tarts
All on a summer day;
The King of Hearts
He ate those tarts,
Twas thus he passed away.
MARY.
Mary had a little lamb
Don't anybody laugh
She took the wool right off its
back
To pad her little calf.
WHAT HE ESCAPED.
The boy stood on the burning
deck
And his smile grew and grew
No egg-head came to ask him: "Is
It hot enough for you?"
MAUD.
Maud Muller on a summer day
Raked the meadow sweet with
hay,
Stepped on a hornet's nest with
bare
Brown feet, then went away from
there.
S'MORE MARY.
Mary, Mary, quite contrary
How does your garden grow?
You ought to be able this fall to
buy
A car with a big tonneau
SLIPPED.
Hark, hark the dogs do bark,
The beggars are coming to town
They once did slip in a loan
shark's grip
And that's what brought them
down.
BARELY ESCAPED.
"Mother, may I go out to swim?"
"Oh, yes, my darling daugh-
ter."
And so she went, but she gave a
gasp
When her suit shrunk in the
AS USUAL.
Sing a song of sixpence,
Pocket full o' rye,
Mother's at the seashore,
Father's flyin' high.
SCRATCHED.
There was a man in our town,
And he was wondrous wise,
He thought he'd tackle politics,
And he lost both his eyes.
TINNED.
Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
The grub at Narragansett
Is almost always canned.
—Judd Mortimer Lewis, in the
Houston Post.
Let us show you the Oliver
gang plow, it has no side draft.
Bolon Bros
WE THANK YOU.
We have had a very good sale. We
did not have the biggest sale in the
history of our business, but it was
good and we were kept pretty busy.
When you want goods at the low-
est prices for cash or credit, either
groceries or dry goods, call on us.
We can take care of good trade
when it wants a little time. We
are looking for good business this
fall and we are going to have the
goods rolling in here pretty soon.
Remember us.

ELECTION NEWS.
News is Meager as to Actual
Results. Democratic
Nominees.
There are no actual figures
that may be counted on as actu-
ally reliable, but enough has
been found out to insure the
reader of the nominees
of the democratic par-
ty, and that the party as was
predicted, has the largest vote.
In the U. S. Senate race Sena-
tor Robt. L. Owen swamped
Chas. N. Haskell, ex-governor
by about 50,000 votes over the
state.
Scott Ferris will be returned
to the lower house of Congress
from this, the Fifth district, by
a handsome majority. Bill Mur-
ray has won largely all over the
state for congressman at large,
The other two winners are in
doubt, as th^re were twenty-
eight in all running.
In the county A. R. Ash, for
county attorney, won by about
400 votes.
Sam Hays, for district clerk,
won by about 75 votes.
Doc Hutcherson, for sheriff,
won by about 450.
J. A. Robinson, for treasurer
won by 100 votes.
Mrs. John Stone for register of
deeds won by 200 votes.
L. R. Shean for county judge,
won by over 300.
J. L. Austin, for state senate
won by 300 votes.
Hill for representative won by
big majority.
W. L. Parker for county asses-
sor won by 150 votes.
H. K. Thomas seems to have
won the commissioners race in
this precinct.
Frank Thompson also seems to
have won the race in the demo-
cratic primary, for county clerk.
Swan C. Burnette was nomi-
nated for committeeman.
J. C. Bannister, C. H. Nelms,
and W. E. Killough will be the
democratic nominees for trustees.
J. F. Haggard seems to have
won the nomination for the office
of cosn table of this prectnct.
J. K. Martin is the nominee
for justice of the peace.
These are nearly all the nomi-
nees of the democratic party of
the county and a few important
state officers. It was simply im-
possible to get the list correct,
but next week we hope to have a
full and complete list of the en-
tire election, as far as the coun-
ty goes.
The Titanic Disaster.
The "Titanic" picture was in-
deed a disappointment, in-as-
much as we all expected to see
the ship sink, also expected to
see more of the boat from side
view. There are two Titanic pic-
tures, made by two different
companies. One shows several
side views of the boat as well as
the sinking. We were unfortun-
ate in getting hold of the wrong
film, but have written for the
one that shows the sinking, and
as soon as we have it booked,
will let you know and it will be
given in addition to the regular
show without extra charge, a!
though it will cost us $10.00.
We appreciate your patronage
very much and are always sorry
to disappoint you, but willing to
make right. This Saturday you
will not be disappoiuted, for we
are going to show "Battle of the
Redmen," made by the famous
Bison Co., on the 101 Ranch.
There are two reels of this sub-
ject in addition to the regular
show, making 5 reels or 5000 ft.
of pictures in all. Don't forget
the battle between the Sioux and
Kiowas. Beebe and Ball.

N. T. McAlister.
N. T. McAlister leaves tomor-
row for Stillwater, where he will
represent this part of the coun-
try in the meeting of the State
Agricultural board. There is a
new member to be elected on
that board and the Leader would
like to see Mack get it, if he
wants it. He is competent for
the place. It carries but little
emolument, on the whole, but
pays pretty well while the mem-
ber works.
Dr. Bennett and wife are now
the owners of one of the smart-
est autos in this part of the coun-
try. It is a Hupmibile and is as
pretty and jaunty a roadster as
one can find anywhere.
