ONLY ONE WAY IS RIGHT.

“My boy,” said Uncle Hiram, once, while giving me advice, “The saw that doesn't wabble is the oue that cuts the ice. The saw that close applies itself within its narrowgroove, * Will soon or late fulfill its work by keeping on the move. When half way through, temptation may beset it, like as not. To leave* the place that Beemeth hard and seek a thinner spot; But shifting saws will learn, at length, when failure they invite: There's many a way o’ doin’ things< but only one wav’s right! “And bear in mind, my boy, through life, if tempted tasks to shirk, Success is but a second crop, the aftermath of Work, A lubricator tried and true is Perseverance Oil. And Fortune’s Smile is rarely won except by hqnest toil. A safe cross-cut to Fame or Wealth has never yet been found. The men upon the heights to day are those who’ve gone around The longest way, inspired by the sayin,’ somewhat trite, T.iere's many a way o’ doin’ things, but only one way's right.” I knew my Uncle Hiram bad achievement's summit reachedr I knew him as an honest man who practiced what he preached— And so I paid the lesson heed, and rapt attention gave, When, in an added afterthought, he said: "My boy. be brave! Act well your part; tenaciously to one straight course adhere; Though men declare you’re in a rut—work on, and never fear; You’ll realize, when you, at length, have reached achievement's height. There's many a way o’ doin' things, but only one way’s right!” —Success,

FROM OKLAHOMA.

Under date of April 25, James W. Douthit writes us from Weatherford, Okla., and among other things, says: This leaves us well. Wife and baby have gone with a neighbor lady visiting in the country. Today has been another windy, sandy day. Our garden stuff is all up, and we had our first mess of radishes to-day. Corn 13 planted and most of it up. There is a good prospect for peaches this year. There have been sufficient spring rains and if we have a little rain in June or July there will be a good crop of corn and cotton. Wheat will not be as good as last year. A city election took, place this spring in this city. The regular Democratic ticket was elected except the Mayor, and a democrat was elected on the Citizen’s ticket by eleven votes. There will be a primary election in which the county ticket will be nominated on the 31st of May. As Oklahoma is democratic we have little hopes of statehood at this time. With many thanks for past favors I remain, Yours Truly,

A FRIEND’S TRIBUTE.

With sadness and sorrow, we read the announcement of the death of Mordecai F. Chilcote. The writer first met hiUi in 1878, and in after years became intimately acquainted with him. To know him .thoroughly, was to honor and esteem him. Those who knew him best, loved him best. In every respect he was a good man. In early manhood his country required his services, and he remained at the front until the white-winged messenger of peace hovered over the land. He then prepared himself for law by a course in the Michigan University, and followed that profession for the remainder of his life. He was a safe and wise counselor, and those who intrusted their business in his hands never had any just cause of regret The young men of the profession could go to him for advice, and it was always faithfully and honestly given. He was faithful to his lodge and his church. If he had been free of all faults, he would not have been human; but where are those who have fewer? • While the writer differed from him politically, he can truthfully say that he rendered the party to which he belonged long, faithful and valuable services, and while it was in its power to reward him, that duty it neglected to perform. Our mental vision can not pierce the veil that bides from us the future. Shall the night of death be eternal, or shall the race of man awake in the morning of another world? We do not know. But we who knew him, know that if man exists in a future state, that the spirit of Mordecai F. Chilcote dwells with the good, the noble and the true. It can be said of him, “if every one for whom he did some loving service were to bring a blossom to his grave he would rest beneath a wilderness of flowers.” We pay this tribute to his name, while we shed a tear in his rememberance.

A FRIEND.

Foltz, Spitler & Kurrie, attys. —o — The circuit court has been grinding steadily all week. The first case tried was the state vs. James W. Edwards, the oats stealing case from Remington, which went to the jury about 10 o’clock Tuesday. After delibera ting for twelve hours the jury failed to agree and was discharged It is understood that the jury was evenly divided on conviction and acquittal. This is the second trial had in this case, in each of which a disagreement resulted. The case will come up again for re-trial next Tuesday, unless good grounds for a continuance a-re shown. The next case was that of the state vs. J. W. Tanner, for false swearing to the age of a girl of the name of Granger to procure a marriage license some time ago. It developed that Tanner, simply signed the affidavit as to the age, but did not swear to it, therefore there was no case against him. The state case against Chas. N. Chadwick for alleged larceny resulted after several hours deliberation of the jury, in finding him guilty of petit larceny, while the affidavit charged grand larceny. Sentence has not been passed at this writing. A special venire was made Thursday for a jury to try the Edwards case again next Tuesday. Tne jury will be selected outside of Rensselaer and Remington. The State case against Hale, charged with stealing a cultivator from Judy & Wood, resulted in a verdict of acquittal in very short order. It was shown that Hale had worked for Judy and had authority to sell and had frequently sold goods for them, and the case against him was so weak that it took the jury but a few moments to decide in Hale’s favor. One of the old cases of Gifford vs. Babcock, on landlord’s lien, was dismissed. In the case of Gifford vs Kaupke, judgement was given Gifford for $55.20. The Makeever will case was settled by a division of the real estate consisting of 965 acres of land in Jasper and Newton counties. 11-45 go to the three sons, Jasper, Newton and Frank, and the grandchildren, Albertus M. Yeoman and Virginia Lines, are to receive 2-15. The comrnission- ; ers appointed, W. O. Roadifer, O. P. Taber and James Clowery, all
