Mr. O. E. Bean, recently ap-

for the relief of the suffering
Amen Ians and other peoples of
that potion of the world has
named his school district chair-
men and has forwarded an ur-
gent appeal to every portion of
the county for funds. Seminole
countyls quota in this great un-
dertaking has been fixed at
$1500, according to information
received by Mr. Bean Tuesday.
It is to be hoped that upon
receipt of theae letters each
Chart man will proceed at once
to raise his district s quota and
forward the same to L. W. Co-
xart, Wewoka. who has been se-
lected as cashier.
Due to a misunderstanding as
to dates and quota, part of the
time in which we were allotted
to raise this fund has passed.

ty attorney’s. In this office,
posted conspicuously or t he
wall, was a bulletin board con-
taining the results of the last
election. Mr. Nichols, the pres-
ent county attorney, was in
that race, and he could not bear
the idea of that valued record
being destroyed, so he rushed
