Nothing in the way of a gift
will give so much pleasure
to so many for so long a time
as a Columbia Graphophqne.
It is a gift, not forthe time
being, but for all time, tak-
ing on a new interest with ev-
ery new record. The Phouo-
f raph sings, plays, or talks,
t means as much to the little
folks as to the grown folks.
For your home or for auy
home a Graphophone means
the beginning of a long term
of genuine enjoyment.

glar alarms—they go off when there's

V&i:
The Flr«t Golf Link*.
The orthodox number of 18 holes, It
seems, was fixed by pure chance.
There were originally 22 holes on St.
Andrew links, and so It continued till
1764, when the first four holes were
converted into two. Thenceforward
every full course has been laid out to
correspond with Alma Mater.
New York Life.
The life of New York seems a tragic
matchiche, a religious can-can, the
: maddest blend in all Christendom of
common sense and lunacy, dignity and
folly, poetry and a furious pogrom
against everything that makes, for
; beauty.—Pall Mall Gazette.

Proposed schemes to irrigate tho

The location of our County Seat at Kingston will call
on the taxpayer year after year for this contribution so
long as the population of our County is distributed as it
|now is.
These are some of the items of COST, which Kingston
j will impose on you as a taxpayer, should Kingston's ambi-
tion be gratified.
We, the people of Madill, ask you to consider these
facts, these items of COST to our County.
We ask you to consider the needs of our County in re-
gard to Schools, Roads and Bridges, and in view of these
conditions, we ask if you, as a patriotic citizen, can you,
should you, lend your vote to a movement that undertakes
to exploit ^ou as a taxpayer in the interest of a few land
owners in the town of Kingston?

CONSIDER THE COST
1 >
WN LOCATING your county seat, a prime consideration
is the COST, the immediate COST, also the future COST.
Recollect, it is you in your capacity as taxpayer who
will finally foot the bill.
To establish, at Kingston, even the most ordinary ac-
commodations for your Courts and County Officials would
require the immediate outlay of a large sum of public
money.
Consider, in this connection, the impoverished state of
your County Treasury. Consider also the urgent need you
have for schools, bridges and roads, rather than Court
Houses.
Madill provides fair accommodations for your Courts
and County Officers through private enterprise. Our
County gets the use of the same at a small annual rental.
The most ordinary accommodations for our Courts,
County Officials and the safe-keeping of our County
Records can not be had in Kingston short of the immedi-
ate expenditure of .$10,000.00, and doubtless a good deal
more of public money.
Madill furnishes fair accommodations for our County's
Business and Courts, with absolute safety for our County's
Records at the Cost of $75.00 per month.
The IMMEDIATE COST to the people, in order to fit
Kingston for a County Seat would be heavy and extremely
burdensome at this time of our County's financial stress;
yet that COST would be small compared with the future
COST of maintaining your County Seat at that town.
Figuring our County's Population and its Distribution, in
relation to Madill and Kingston, the mere matter of mile-
age for attendance of Jurors, Witnesses, Sheriffs, Officers,
etc., would be 12 per cent greater for Kingston than for
Madill—this means the expenditure of more than $750.00
annually, on the present basis of Distance and Population, for
this item alone.

saw Nation, Indian Territory;
and
Whereas, The plat of said
town was approved by the Sec-
retary of the Interior on the
18th day of April, 1904, and
was duly placed on file; and
Whereas, the said Commis-
sion has awarded the real es-
tate described herein below to
the Town of Madill, Indian Ter-
ritory, who has deposited
Twelve and 10-100 Dollars, the
full amount of the purchase
price, with the tJnited States
Indian Agent at Muskogee, In-
dian Territory, and is, there-
fore, entitled to a patent;
Now, Therefore, We, the un-
dersigned, the Principal Chief
of the Choctaw Nation and the
Governor of the Chickasaw Na-
i tion, do, by virtue of the pow-
er and authority vested in us
: by the Twenty-ninth section of
the Act of Congress of the
j United States, approved June
29, 1898 ( 30 Stat. 495), and the
Act of Congress of July 1, 1902
(32 Stat. Oil), hereby grant,
sell and convey unto the said
town of Madill, Indian Territo-
ry, successors, heirs and as-
I signs, forever, all the right, ti-
tle and interest of the Choctaw
County, Oklahoma.
I, Geo. M. Jones, Register of
Deeds in and for Marshall
County, Oklahoma, do hereby
certify that the within instru-
ment is a true and correct copy
of a like instrument as it ap-
pears of record on page 5 of
patent record No. 2 of Marshall
County, Oklahoma.
In Witness whereof I hereun-
to set my hand and official seal
this the 2nd day of June, A. D.
1908.
[seal] Geo. M. Jones,
Register of Deeds Marshall
County, Okla.
The Messenger knows, as
does every well informed citi-
zen, that the Board of County
Commissioners will select the
site for the county court house
whenever in the good judgment
of the Commissioners a court
house is needed to built. So
far as the News is concerned,
we don't care whether they se-
lect the city square or not, just
so it is within the corporate
limits of MADILL.
Now, my dear Messenger, we
have the records up here and
and Chickasaw Nations in and; ean furnish them STRAIGHT
to Lot numbered — in
Block any time you call on us.
