Little Albert, the eight months
baby of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Me-
dearis, fell Asleep February 23rd,
1908, after suffering over two weeks
with, measles and pneumonia, at
the home of Mrs. Medearis' par-
ents, Mr. aud Mrs. H. G. Byars.
Everybody loved little Albert
and he was the light of the home,
just in the sweetes baby age; was
just beginning to try to walk and
talk; always smiling and playful,
he bore his sugering with remark-
able patience for one of his age.
The broken hearted parents
should find comfort in the perfect
assuarance that their precious lit-
tle one is sweetly resting with
Jesus, for he said: "Suffer little
children to come unto Me, for such
is the Kingdom of Heaven;" aud
they should rejoice to kuow that
"Dust thou art, todust returueth"
was not spaken of the soul.
Little Albert has gune to rest.
'Tis sad indeed to know that we
shall never see his face again in
this life, but, happy thought, there
is a heme beyoud the grave, for
death is only a dream, and if we
live accordiug to God's command-
ment, we shall meet these pure and
spotless little lambs in the sweet
bye and bye, and say as Paul said:
"O, death, where is thy sting? O
grave, where is thy victory?"

Here Is Something You Should In-
vestigate
When you come to town to buy
flour, look around before you buy,
and see where you can do the best.
When you go into a grocery to
buy, and are asked $2.50 or more
for flour, j'ou are being held up for
the amount of twenty ceuts per
hundred at least. Therd is no good
reason for paying more for flour
that is shipped in, it is no better,
and many instances not as good.
Of course as long as the merchant
can make a larger profit off of flour
that is made elsewhere, he will con-
tinue to do so, aud you Mr. Farm-
er and Mr. Consumer, are paying
ffce freight. "Jones" is out of it.
We can sell flour cheaper than any-
one as we are out no freight, and
our present quotations are twenty
cents below the Oklahoma Export
quotations, which govern the prices
of most mills. We are here, and
here is where we expect to sell our
flotlr, and we do our owu figuring,
set our own prices, and allow our
customers to do the same, but we
will not protect them in over ten
cents per hundred profit. That is
enough for the cash merchant to
make,, if he sells on time, he
ought to get more, as he will have
some losses, but if he asks too
much, it would pay you to barrow
money, and pay cash tor supplies,
as the cash man has no bad debts,
tor you to help pay. Think this
over, aud if it is good logic, ask
for Mangum Flour. It is worth
$2.30 at retail for White Rose.
Best McAlester Fancv Lump Coal

FOR RENT—One nicely furnish-
ed room with bath, phone and
light. Two blocks from square.

We have decided to make our
coupon book system more effective.
Since we are not able to deliver the
ice in person, there is a great deal
of confusion in having them charg-
ed, as our drivera do not know the
names, and consequently some
books are charged to the wrong
parties. They will be sold for cash
only, without exceptions. We
have ordered our drivers to leave
no books without having received
f>ay for same at the time, and to
eave no ice without receiving
either coupons or money at time of
delivery. This is not prompted
by financial loss, but merely to
save time, as it takes a mau some
thirty days to do a seasons collect-
ing.
You will note on back of book
that they are redeemable at the
First National Bank when not de-
tached from book, and book has
been properly countersigned, and
have instructed bank to take them
up as our check, all of which we
think a fair proposition. All you
have to do to get your money on
unredeemed coupons is to present
them at Bank. We will appreci-
ate your reporting any inattention
on the part of employees, as we
propose to make our service the
Thanking you kindly for past
support, and trusting we may merit
a continuance of same. Yours
