It i9 said that there will be a
Negio candidate for assistant
postmaster we don't know wheth
or not this ie true and we arc uot
in touch with- the friends of the
party applicant and at this time
of course we are unable to say
whether or not the individual is
competent and .worthy' and at
eligible for. the .position but of
course we are willing to leave
all thatiri'A' short time the fel-
lows down in "the trenches will
be informed. as (o who we are
expected 'to support.

We understand and. are in-
formed that Bev. Wm Martin
an A. M E. preacher will at-
tend the- conference at
We defended this fellow some
years ago when he wascharged
with the crime of rape and he
has promised year after year to
pay for our;service. x Fortunate-
ly or unfortunately we got; the
cuss out and we know unfortun-
ately for ourselves for wq have
not been paid for our services
when a fellow don't pay we call
him a dead beat. When a min-
ister don't pay we call him 'a
ministerial dead beat and that's
the name we apply 'tojihis cues.!
Rumor says that a colored
man has been appointed clerk in
the post office If this is true the
old man has played a pretty
strong card and the other s fel-
lows will have to show and beat
him because it us a hard one to
who we are expected to support.

mau has" played a' pretty strong
card and the other fellows will
have to sjiow UpT'and beat. It is
almost an ace and may be a king
and we feel qertain it is a queen.
Now we want to see what kind of
cards the other fellows have got
because' this is a game in which
you have "goto play cards with

The execises at the C. M. E
church on last Sunday were of
the very highest class hightly
appreciated by the audience. All
of the speeches were compli
mentary to Rev. Gratton and his
officers.. The reverend has
shown by his 'zeal and earnest
efforts that he is deserving of all
the praise tendered him by those
present and that hU assistants
are; earnest christians We have
watched his course as a man
since he has been in town' and
we desire to add our testimonial
to that of his flock and his other
friends as being' one of the
cleanest men of his profession
that has ever lived in Muekogee
and we earnestly hurjo that his
good bishof) may return him to
his work as we need mon of

There is a muddle a great
muddlein the affairs of the A.
M. E. ohurch. The Cimtter has
'always stood for right and jus-
tice. We would rather be right
tha'rt be wrong and for the bene-
fit of the fellows who have been
Brqng since the selling of the
church property on Second So.
we 'desire to inform them that
that there are some men who
signed the deed who are not
trustees of the church and we
understand that the name of one
man who. was a trustee was
signed' to the deed without his
knowledge presence or censent :
NoWt the men who are responsi-
ble for this condition of affairs
know that they gave the man a
bad title if they gave him any
title at all when they pretended
to sell that property. Somebody
is guilty of false pretense and
that .is a serious crime in this
chuntry. Now if there is any
pleasant amicable way onr of
the lamentable condition of the
condition of the church we think
they ought to find that way and
find it quick as there is extreme
danger of some fellow allowing
his ministerial1 robe to trail in the
dvst and as it rains in this coun-
try occasionally the lower parts
of the robe are liable to get mud-
dy. We offer these sugestions
in fairness and. hope that in the
end all will be well.
