The exercises this year will be in the nature ofa great agricultural school or farmers’ | short course, with lectures and dem- onstrations by members of the Agri- cultural College faculty and by others of national reputation. Most of the “class work” will be done in the new Agricultural Building, which will be dedicated Friday afternoon, when Governor Herbert S. Hadley will be the principal speaker. Each evening éxcept Friday evening, when the banquet takes place, popular, enter- taining lectures will be heard in the large auditorium of Academic Hall. At the M. E. Church, South, on next Sunday, Dec. 26th, at 7:30 p. m. the pastor, J. A. Jared, will deliver a discourse on ‘Friendship and Frater- nalism,” in which he will emphasize the Fatherhood of God .and Brother- hood of Men, He will also enlarge upon the increasing fraternal spirit existing among men and in the churches to-day. John Q. A. Cope, who was in the last of the week, informed us of the Cope family gathering, at the home of Sam Cope in Enid, on Thanksgiv- ing Day. There are three boys and one girl living, viz: John Q. A. 74 years, Seth 65, of Bates county, Sam 76, of Enid, Okla., and Mrs. Tripp 70, of Meridian, Kansas. They were all present at this reunion and enjoyed a good time. They expect to meet ev- ery thanksgiving, if possibie. The combined ages of the three brothers and sister are 285 years. The Cass County Leéader says: “No business man can be perma- nently successful who permits him- self to be controlled by little spites ‘Does a man know when he is dead?” queries one paper, which the Atlanta Constitution answers tersely, “Ask Speaker Cannon.” To Can- non’s declaration of war on the “‘in- surgents’’ Senator LaFollette eagerly throws down the gage of battle and says, “If Cannon is a Republican, Tammany isa Republican, and so is Cox, of Cincinnati, Sullivan, ‘Bath House John’ and ‘Hinky Dink’ of Chicago and the powers that prey ev- erywhere."’ And he might have add- ed if Cannon is, so is Taft, and if Taft is, so is Cannon, but it’s worth while tohave Tammany and some of the other big municipal organization crooks classified. LaFollette says further that Cannon’s ‘‘pronuncia- mentos are but the snarlings of a grim old wolf who hears the beaters in the woods and scents them closing in. He is still at large, but the days of his depredations within the sheepfolds of the people are surely numbered.” There is something behind Speaker Cannon’s drastic rulings in the House besides his desire to play that part of czar. He represents ‘‘interests’’ just the same as numerous other of his compatriots do, more or less in pro- portion to the heartiness with which they vote and work for the measures that bear the mark of Cannon’s ap- proval, and were he ousted and the House still made up of Republicans, another would be raised to wield the gavel in the same lordly, arbitrary manner. Joe Cannon would be dead as Speaker, but Cannonism would still live. A Democratic House and Democratic Senators in 1910 and Champ Clark wielding the gavel is only the preliminary -steps to the solution of the problem. Then a Democratic President and Congress in 1912.

Deffinbaugh and wife depart- ed Saturday for an extensive trip south. They will visit with relatives at Lamar a few days after which they will go onto Batesville, Ark. fora visit. They will be gone a couple of weeks. 5 Last week while the papers were still damp from the press but too late for that issue, word came that John McDavitt had received the appoint- ment as postmaster to fill the place of E. W. Stevens who resigned some time ago. Judge Cofer is ina’ serious condi- ingly small man that permits every ‘small'annoyance to make an impres- ‘sion on him, in fact men do not, it is only grown-up children, but the world is full of persons whose minds have not grown since they were ten years old, except the one faculty of making a living or holding onto a lit- tle property inherited. The success- ful man bears no ill will and has no time to brood over fancied wrongs. To him the past is gone and he can- not load himself down with its little vexations, but carries with him only the memories that will be useful to him in his advancement, and that will help him to a higher and broader life.’’ A. C. Kincaid told in the Richmond Missourian of school days in Missouri before the Civil War. In winter time when the snows were deep and the zero weather was on we. hada hard time to keep warm. At times. we had to shift about to keep from freez- ing. Those on the front bench next to the fire had to change with those on the back seat every hour. This was kept up all day long. It took about four young men to chop wood and keep the old fireplace going. Our teacher would hold the “‘speller’’ in his right hand with a yarn mitten on while pronouncing for the spelling class. It was nothing strange to. see boy or girl 18 years old in the sec- reader class. It would seem odd East Lone Oak. There will be one week vacation at the Willow Branch school, also at Pleasant Valley. Ross Williams and Archie Thomas are going to shred for J. W. Thomas, Geo. Thomas and I. W. Hart this week, E. E. Eckles is very busy visiting all his neighbors in Lone Oak town- ship and telling them how much their taxes are. E. C. Harper sold his farm, one- half mile east of Peru, to H. G. Requa for $65 an acre. He is now in Kan- sas seeking a new location. There will be an oyster supper at Peru Thursday night. Admission 30 cents, all over 10 years old and 10 years and under 15 cents. Quite a number from this vicinity attended the Kern-Moore sale Mon- day. Wedding bells have been ringing quite lively during the last few dags. John Walker and. Miss Massie Stokes were married at the M. E. parsonage last Wednesday, Dec. 15, by Rev. Gilbraith. Also Joe Thomas and Miss Goldie Douglass at the home of the bride’s parents last Sunday, Dec. 19, Rev. Gilbraith officiating. These young people are all well- known in this vicinity and are very highlyrespected. Their many friends extend congratulations, and wish them prosperity, health and happi- ness, as they journey through life, and we also. hope their path may be full of sunshine and strewn with many flowers, and that their last days will be their happiest. Through the columns of The Times we wish every reader a Merry Christ- mas and a Happy New Year. PUSSY WILLOW. West Deepwater. Winter has come to stay with the thermometer near the zero point. W. C. Turpin hauled corn to his farm last week. James Carroll and little daughter, of Kiowa, Okla., are here for a few days business visit. Dr. Zey was called out to see A. G.

Mrs. Allie McCracken died at her home near Spruce on Dec. 19th at one a.m., of pneumonia. Funeral services were held at the home, con- ducted by Rev. Hargis. She was a loving mother and wife and a de- voted Christian, always ready to help those in distress. She leaves a hus- band, two daughters, an aged father, brother and two sisters to mourn her loss. The body was tenderly laid to rest in the White cemetery. The family have the sympathy of the en- tire community in their sad bereave- ment. FARMER JOHN. Crowder’s Fine Sow. Prof. J. E. Crowder, of Bates county, Missouri, has a Poland China sow that has brought forty-three pigs in four litters and raised forty’ of them. Six of one litter of nine were sold by Prof. Crowder at five months and nineteen days of age, the six averaging 230 pounds each, and the whole six bringing the sum of $103.40. At this rate the whole litter of nine, at this age, would have brought over $150.00 had he seen fit to dispose of the other three.
