Guthrie it is the inactivity and the

editor's judgment. Is an ill omen.

The Nerve Troubles.
Lawyer William Harrison, one of
the representatives of the Western
W'orld, is having nerve troubles over
the amazingly bad English which is
being used by some of the teachers of
Logan county, Oklahoma.
Much is expccted of the teacher. It
was the school teacher who overcame
France and aspired to a "thousand
thrones." The Incompetent teacher is
a stupendous fraud and will go to hell
on a charge of misleading his disciples.
Lot the teacher be onto his job.—
