There is a land of pure delight
Where saints immortal reign,
Infinity day excludes the night
And pleasure banish pain.
O! that, all could realize the
meaning of the poet, a land of pure
delight where there is no sorrow
no pain no more death bed seems
always pleasure and happiness,
where we can be with our loved
ones forever never to part no more.
O! what a blessed thought it is to
live aright, that we can say as she
did to her loved ones, children
don't greive for me for I am not
afriti l to die.
A Friend
Hazel Items.
Well Hazel is still on the land
after the barbecue, and are glad to
report everything went all right,
plenty to eat and drink. The pro-
gram wasn't carried out, owing to
some of our speakers not being
here, on account of having to at-
tend court at Tecumseh, but there
was a good number present and ah
seemed to enjoy themselves, ana
the day was spent in mingling
with friends from all parts oi
►Seminole and Pot counties.
Our beef was well served and
everybody got all they wanted.
One interesting future of the
day was a chase and capture of a
supposed horse thief, after which
he was hanged to a nearby tree.
After which we had a welcome ad-
dress by one of our citizens J. B
Shirley. Response by VV. P. Sny-
der. After noon we had a speech
by J. Ouinn on an ti asm, and as
our other speakers was unable to
be present, our program closed and
the balance of the day was spent
in fiieudly chats and jokes by old
time friends.
1 Times are getting dull up here
'on accouut of the dry weather.
I Corn is being damaged very much,
and the farmers faces are getting
awful long. I heard one old far-
mer say that his iace had got so
long that his chin has wore holes
in the knees of his pants, but I
think that wasn't the cause. I
have an idea he has been on his
knees praying for rain. Anyhow
things are getting serious up here
and if the Lord don't smile on us
and give us a good rain pretty soon
some of the money loners will
have to smile on us this fall.
Some weddings going on around
Hazel last Sunday. Mr. Garlin
McKinney and Miss Bertha Wil-
liams were married by J. A.
White, Justice of the Peace and
on last Wednesday Mr. John Sharp
and one Miss Martin took a hike
and went to Ada and were married.

STATE EXAMINER AM) IJiSPEC.
TOR APPROVES REPORT.
Maimer in Which Accounts Were
Kept Discussed in Statement as
Made by Deputy.
Guthrie, Ok., July 20.—'Partial re-
port oif an investigation made by Col-
li Valentine, deputy State examiner
ind inspector of the affairs of the
state auditor's office for 'the period
between Nov. 16, 1907, Statehood Day
md April 30 of this year, was given
to the public today.
It is dated June 21, bears the ap-
proval of state examiner and ins pec -
or Taylor, 'and deals chiefly with
funds appropriated by the first legis-
lature and Ithe expenditures made
gainst them. The report gives a long
list of warrants for money against
the funds, to iwhieh the official calls
attention, as lacking in detail or
itemized statements showing how the
money was spent. The Auditor's
books, Itlhe report says, have been
well and carefully kept.
Attention is also directed to var-
ious expenditures in connection with
the state dispensary and prohibition
enforcement, orach of iWhich was cov
ered in the official review of the
sitate dispensary, made during June.
That report was the subject of in-
vestigation by a special committee
named by Gov. Haskell soon after its
details had been published. The spec-
ial committee's report held that the
"conclusions" of the State Examiner
and Inspector had nctt been warrant-
ed.
After reciting that a number of
warrants were drawn, payable to
certain named officials, wherein the
report says proper detail is lacking
as to tow the money was expended,
the report adds:
"I can see no way in which the
details can be arrived at, except
through these parties personally. The
law calls for the superintendent of
the state agency to file with the gov-
ernor monthly statements, and to file
a copy with the state auditor. I find
seven of (these on file, hut they show
only general accounts for the month,
the total expenses, salaries, inspec-
tor'-s expenses, enforcement and the
like. Quite a few of these claims fil-
ed on attorney general's conting-
ent fund show a lack of detail."
The report refers to an opinion
From attorney general West, and
which is made a pant of it in full,
In regard to money advanced to Su-
perintendent Dick of the state peni-
tentiary, where the attorney general
held that the warden must give un-
der oath a statement in detail, how
every portion of the money was
spent. Then follows a list of war-
rants drawn, to which the inspector
calls special attention. The employ-
ment of detectives and operatives, ap-
pears from the report to have been
liberally indulged in.
The report otherwise shows that
appropriations 'made hy the First
Legislature and for deficiencies
amounted to $4,166,305.08 of which
$2,402,796.45 had been paid to April
30.
