To get the best of every thing,
and to get tho best bargains, is
what ©very body wants. This is
a hard matter for every body to
do, but if you keep posted throagh
the columns of Thk Times, by
reading every ad aud local there
you wiU com* as near getting
value received as the next one by
patronizing those who advertise.
The value of advertising doe>
u«t depend so uiucli ou the size of
the ad as upon the number af in-
terested people who read it. A
paper that has nothing to iuter«st|i
the people will have tew readers;
and dissatisfied advertisers. Ad-
vertisements in Thh Timhs arej
read because the paper always has I
satuethinr; iu it to read besides the
advertisements. No other paper in I
this section has so many interested
readers, or brings so large returns II
t« its advertisers.
The citizens of Clayton have
arranged for a mass meeting Sat-
urday. November lti, to further a
move to secure statehood for New
Mexico. The meeting will excite
general interest in Oklahoma from
the fact that it combines ratifica-
tion of our coming into the union j
as the 4Gth state. New Mexico isj
entitled to statehood. They have
the population and wealth. The
intellect of some of the Eastern i
congressmen are so dense, or be-|
olouded with prejudtoe, that they j
believe the territory is made up of
ignorant Mexicans, The settlers
■who have been pouring in from the
Bast for tha past three years may
Kelp to ovorcomo the prevail-
ing notion held in the East, oi tho
unfitness of people for statehood,
injustice has been done this terri-
tory for years in keeping it out of
ttie union. It is about time for a
little broadmindedneBS to prevail
in the next congress, regarding tho
admittance of the territory.—Bx.
The republicans will hold their ,
convention tirst next year, it being ;
the unwritteu law iu American po!i
tics for the party in power to ap-1
pear on the soene first with its can-
didate and platform. Since I860
there has been but one exception to
this rule. The Republicans in 1890
being then out of power, called their
national convention for June 10,
while the Democrats did not hold
theirs until July 7. In 1883 the
Demourata be.'d their convention
first, bu', this was because they
were the part? ia power.

Mrs. Good Entertained.
List Wednesday evening Mrs. E.
H. Good entertained a few friends at
herhome. Instrumental music, sing
ing games and dancing wero indul-
ged in. About eleven o'clock the din-
ingroom doors were thrown open and
the guests wore invited to partake
of one of the linest supper^ imagina-
ble. All enjoyed themselves to the
limit ami the guests voted Mrs.
Good an ideal entertainer. The
evening Is one long to be remem-

proerastinators begins to crowd
the stores. By buying early you
obtain the selection of the choicest
goods and yoa can make better
seleotions before the final rush sets
in. Don't delay on your own ac-
count, a" well as for tho overwork-
ed clerks who realize what the
holiday season means to them.
And you, Mr. Merchant, being
wise, will not wait until your com-
petitor has got a good start in the
| race for the Christmas trade. You
1 will begin early to announce your
attraction and keep it up. The
fact that the people has plenty of
money to spend does not mean
that they are going ta throw any
of it away. There will not be the
pinching and scrimping to make
every dollar go as far as possible,
but purchasers will be more dis-
criminating than ever before. The
merchant* who have the real bar-
gains and who put them before the
people early and keep them there,
will be the merchants who will get
moat of the trade. Discriminating
buyers are the most valuable of all
, and their patronage is an unfailing
testimonial to the reliability of the
merchants patronised, to the excel-
lence of their goods and to the
Tightness of their prices. But an
early start this year will be the
most valuable assest the merchant
can have—taking it for granted
that he has the right goods at the
right prices.—Ex.

he was informed of tha facts, that he

appendix had been removed Pat
wanted to see the appendix but the
dootor informed him that he eould
not see it, that ha was a very sick
man and must keep quiet, but that
the appendix waa over in the win-
dow and he could ••• it when he got
able.
The dootor stepped out ofthe room
at which instant a mischievioua
monkey, which had a habit of visi-
ting the patients about the hospital
and annoying them, had slipped in
Pat's room and took bis position in
the window where Pat understood®
his appendix was. Pat not being
satisfied wanted to see theappendix
and turned over to take a glanea
toward the window. The monkey
looked, squealed and made all sort
of faces. But Pat was very calmn
and well contented when he looked
at the monkey and said: "Don't do
that son. You surely don't realize
that your mother is a very sick
man. '—Ex.

the United States Judge shall have
been appointed, lie will doubtless
appoint U. S. Commissioners and
business may proceed as before.
