Everything fine; beats Indiana.” There is little doing about the clerk** office these days except the issuing of hunters’ licenses.

Frank Brusnahan writes us to change the address of his Democrat from Odessa, Wash., to Frederick, Okla., where he expects to locate in the practice of law. He says: “As Oklahoma is democratic we must guard her youthfulness and purity by having at least one good democratic paper constantly entering her portals. Our newspaper brethren who have had experiecne in installing new machinery and met with the customary difficulty of securing just the right shafting, pulleys, etc., in a country town to give the proper speed, can realize what the Democrat has been up against this week in getting its new Linotype in proper running order. The Democrat's new linotype did not arrive until Monday evening, when it should have got here Saturday, and the work of setting it-up and getting it in proper working order has necessarily interfered with the news feature of this week’s issue for which we ask the indulgence of our readers. The new machine will be in proper working order for next week and the usual amount of local news will appear. Thomas Driver, wife and son Charley of Barkley township leave the first of the week for their new home near Lewiston, Mich. Their car will be loaded today at Parr and Charlie will leave with it Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Driver will leave here Tuesday morning for Chicago where they will take the M. C. road to Lewiston. We are sorry to lose such good people from Jasper county, but hope they will l»* happy in their new home.
