In other words the program is for Chickasha to take a I
: 4 great big leap forward in 1903 "I
4. There is no such thing as a town standing still; it must !
4. go forward or fall behind. Tne man who stands still while "
4. the crowd moves on wiil soon fin 1 himself a mile or two in the !
4 rear and the procession is moving forward in Oklahoma.
J. Notwithstanding temporary business depression business 4-
4. men who think deeply are optimistic. Expressions heard on 4-
f. every hand are encouraging. Men who do things are laying 4
f. their plans with a little more conservatism perhaps and 4
4. that is good and while the timid and the pessimistic are 4
4. mourning they will be reaping rewards. 4
4. No town in Oklahoma has brighter prospects than Chick- 4
4 asha. She came through the 'storm with flying colors her fi- 4
4. r.ancial institutions making a record that attracted the atten- 4
4. : ion of the entire state. Chickasha is built upon a solid foun-
4. dation no artificial boom growth no watered stock here. 4-
4. But there's nothing for us if we don't bestir ourselves. It 4'
4. is up to us "to put all our public pride all our enthusiasm into 4
4. a concerted harmonious effort for the common good. We must 4"
4. have an effective organization put our time and our money 4
4. into it-and work at it with all our might. Be ready when 4
4. the call is made to join in the movement like a loyal large- 4

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT FOR EVERYDAY USE.
We can't escape it if we would the Christmas spirit it is in the air;
it's in our hearts; its peaceful spell is all-pervasive. The heart of child-
hood feels it's magic thrill and age s moved by it's softening touch.
What is the rare effable influence that holds universal sway at Christ-
mas tide? For nearly two thousand years the Christmas spirit has been
in the world and each succeeding year has seen it grow from more to more.
Whatever else it is it must mean peace and good will kindness love and
joy for these qualities dominate in ur lives at Christmas time-the con-
tribution poured into the world by the Man of Galilee. And a wonder-
ful contribution it was for it has made men and women immed.atcly
But think a minute-is there any reason why the Christmas spirit
should he a luxury to be enjoyed at only one season or one day of the
year? Why should Saint Nicholas be allowed a monopoly of goodness
.-vwivif-tr art1 inU?
Why should not the Christmas
and good will may just as well be our constant possessions. ienevoiu
kindness and joy may just as well be our daily food.
t : ; cwt. for anyone to harbor an evil thought or a resent
ment against another. Hatred and malice make us miserable and small.
Slefishness is man's greatest enemy. To be happy is as much a duty as to
be healthy "rejoice evermore" is a command.
" In midst of the daily grind of business with all the tasks and toe
perplexities that confront us with all the strife and turmoil of existence
it is possible to maintain the spirit that makes us kind and thoughtful
the spirit that makes us cherish friends and pass by our enemies in silence
even if we t do thc-rn good; the spirit that make for peace and joy-
inhort the spirit that fills our heart at ChrioUuas time.
If the Christmas spirit is good for a few days in the year t s good
ery dv. Why not gather up enough of it right now to last dur-
ing the whole of the year 1908? The experiment is woiU making.

TAXES GQI'I IG
III SLOWLY
A visit to Collector Thompson's of-
fice this morning revealed the fact
that tax collections are coming in
very slowly and that after Jan. 1st
there .will be some heavy penalties at-
tached which the delinquent tax pay-
ers must pay besides their regular
taxes.
Mr. Thompson has approximately
about $70000 on his books to collect
and up to this morning he had col-
lected just $0340.
As to the paving tax the records
show about $1000 to be collected and
uf this amount Mr. Thompson Iras col-
lected only six hundred dollars. This
paving tax will be advertised delin
quent after Jan. 1st. and a penalty of
23 per cent will be ad led.
It would bey well to look into the
question of paying your taxes at
once.
A PERSONAL GUARANTEE
FOR MONTE CRISTO
The word guarantee is much over-
worked. Everybody can use it and
almost everybody does. It is a pity
to see it so abiisl. Guarantee is a
good word when it means anything.
I use it because I have made it mean
something. Cut this out and take it
with you to the theater Christmas
matir.ce or evening and if after the
first act you are dissatisfied with the
entertainment given your money will
be refunded. I personally guaran-
tee the excellence of this attraction.

A CHADY COL MY MAN'S IVEN-
MAKES A TRIAL RUN-
CHEAT MONEY SAVER
An exhibition run of a new machine
for cleaning and hulling cotton was
giver; yesterday afternoon at Every-
body's Gin. The machine is the in-
vtntion of J. L. Hart and application
for patent is pending. It was built by
the inventor at Garner's planing mill.
This was not the first time that
the machine had been used as Mr.
Hart used a similar one last year at
the Norway gin a million pounds of
cotton being run through it. Cotton
bolls are taken and run throueh the
machine the hull beinj: :r fovcl 2:s.u.

in use but Mr. Mr. liart claims aj
special advantage for 1 - ;-ve-'ij i:i
that it cleans the cotto.i thoroughly
before it is ginned. All the cotton
that goes through it is carried
over a 20 foot screw against which
is is pressed by cylinders. The ma-
chine is four by eight feet and is run
by a four-horse gasoline engine. It
will hull forty bales in ten hours.
The machine that was exhibited
will be shipped to Tuttle where it is
to be installed. It is Mr. Hart's in-
tention to put the invention upon the
market the priceof it being $500. He
already has several orders for it. By
the use of such a machine Mr. Hart
estimates that the cost of cotton pick-
ing can be reduced fifty per cent. The
inventor also expects to have anoth-
er machine perfected in a few months
which he says win revolutionize the
cotton industry.

Guthrie Okla. Dec. 19 '07
Chickasha Express
The good wise and considerate leg-
islation that is being enacted by the
first legislature of Oklahoma ranks
first of all and will serve in after
years as guidance to our sister states.
We may well feel proud of our state.
And we should cherish the fact that
we are residents of Great Oklahoma.
Bright is her future the land of a
free people where monarchs and the
hirelings of powerful monopolies do
not rule; a state that has a peoples'
governor; and one that will enforce
the law as it is written.
Every encouragement and assist
ance within the power of the people
should be freely given the governor
and our law makers and knocks and
ridicule shouid be withheld by all re-
gardless of partisan lines at leat
until they have failed to make good.
We are a common people standing
upon a common platform for the po-
tion of all regardless of whether they
be rich or poor.
I feel that the governor and the
legislature will fulfill every pledge
made by them. In fact the legisla-
tion thus far enacted bears me out in
this.
You have a firm tireless and loy-
al governor together with a legisla-
ture and other state officers. En-
courage them to greater efforts give
them every aid and last but not least
DO NOT KNOCK!
Yours

FIGHT WITH SAVAGE LION.
Adventurous Hunter Paid for Sport
With Hit Life.
From the Sudan comes the report of
a fierce fight between a wounded lion
and a government engineer which
ended In the death of the latter an
Englishman named C. H. Salmon
Salmon while on board the steamer
Metemmah. between Fashoda and
Melut on the White Nile discovered
a lion among the bushes on the shore.
Taking a gun he went ashore asking
those on board not to follow him. He
shot twice at the lion one bullet tak-
ing effect in the lion's shoulder and
the other In the abdomen. After a
struggle of a few minutes which
seemed to be his death agony the lion
lay motionless. Suhuou approached
and the lion pounced upon him and
threw him to the ground and began
to maul him. The engineer held the
lion's neck and endeavored to draw
his knife but before he succeeded the
lion had bitten his thigh and cnir.heJ
his toes. He gave the boast a strb la
the eyes. This infuriated the animal
which tmapjed at he man's hand bad-
ly lacerating anu smashing It. The
pain of the kuife thrust however was
too much for the animal and he start-
id to retreat. The crew of the steamer
now arrived upon the scene. They
killed the exhausted lion with-
out much dilliculty and carried
the unfortunate hunter to the boat
which then sailed with all possible
speed to Fashoda wher he was taken
to the hospital and received medical
ttentlon only to expire of his Injuries
when removed to Khartum.
"Witch's Srldls."
An interesting but most cruel object
of punishment may be found In the
council chamber of the town h!l at
Forfar .which ii generally known as
the "Witch's Bridle." This is kind
f cage made f flat iron bars into
which the head of the onlsaBpy sorcer-
ess was thrust a lock at the hack s
curing and keeping it in position. Tha
tuouLhiiiece in this IntUace is mad
of iron plate studded with sharp
spikes which caused great sutferiog
to the woman if she tried to speak. As
soon as the victim had been coDderaa-
id to death for witchcraft this bridle
was placed over the face and she was
led through the town by a short chain
to be mocked and made the butt of all
who saw her. after which she would
be publicly strangled and burned. The
latest record of an execution of a
supposed witch at Korfar In Scotland
was in the year 1661.

Maggie's Rait in Wag Brought U
expected Reeulta.
Mrs. Baker a well to do lady in ona
of the suburbs of a large eastern city
was fortunate in having an excellent
servant Maggie was capable quick
and good natured. Most of the lady's
friends were less fortunate in fact
few of them were without their distinct
trials. At all the fashionable gather-
ings the conversation turned like a
needle to the pole straight to the sub-
ject of servants.
Mrs. Baker said very little for sh
had often noticed that an announce-
ment of perfect satisfaction in the do-
mestic line was frequently followed
lator ou by a second announcement to
the effect that the perfect maid bad
keen offered higher wages by Mrs. So-and-so
and had gone to get them.
Therefore Mrs. Baker followed BrVr
Rabbit's tactics of "layin' low."
More than this she decided to be
very diplomatic. She would offer Mng-
cle more wszes herself and thus secure
I her before any one else had a chance.
She was pleased with her plan.
"Now Mnzgle" "lie said the nest
morning "you've been very faithfc!
s.id cheerful during this Lot summer
and through Dorothy's Illness anil I
like your work so well that I'm goicjr
to raise your wngen from $5 to $'.
Maggie thanked her and Mrs Raker
smiled tt the thought of br own as-
tuteness. On Monday morning a few dnys Inf-
er she had occasion to visit her kitc'i-
en after breakfast. Instead of encoun-
tering the usual smell of amis nl
steam she found Maggie seated at the
table.
"Why Where's the washing T she-
asked. "What's the matter? Are yoo

"Oh no mum." replied Mad- aUily.
"I ain't sick. But none of the girls a
