OKLAHOMA SKETCHES
Notes From the Western Country
Jotted Down at Random by
Rev. J. I. riartin,
Mr. Editor, I am still in the
West and do not know just when
1 will get buck. Wp are having
some real winter now-. I drove
*ix miles this morning while the j
wnow was coining in a regular
gale. It was pretty severe on Co
ra and I concluded not to attempt
the trip to Stroud today. 1 drove j
west three miles from Mrs. Addie
Harmon's and returned. It was
most of the w ay out on the prairie,
with nothing to break the south
wind and snow except a three
wire fence, and of course that was
not a great protection. I am
driving a beautiful span of match ,
ponies. They are Hne drivers; all
they know, it seems, is to go. ,
Most all the horses go unshod, es
pecially the drivers, and farm
horses. The roads are good, and
/or the most part over rolling
prairie; no gravel. There is some
Hat. rock on the hills, but the farm
land has no rock. Driving is nice,
except on such days as today. We
are having, not a Northern, but
rather a Southern, I would call it,;
as the wind has been from the
aouth. Hut the snow melts as it1
/alls, consequently there is very
little on the ground.
1 was at Cushing Sunday by re
quest of the pastor. I got in late,
and he was preaching when I ar
rived. Lt sounded mighty like we
“Land Markers"’ in Arkansas.
Two joined the church; one for
baptism. We went from the
church to the large pond, and at
the request of the pastor, I made
a short talk on the subject of bap
tism, and a hearty "'a men” greet
ed the Arkansan’s remarks, after
■which the pastor baptized the sis
ter. lt was a pretty cool bath,
but it was as we Baptist see—
-obeying the Lord. 1 preached at
•light to a small congregation, as
it was a very bad night, and the
.Methodists were holding a pro
traded meeting of some interest.1
Cushing is a very good town of
fifteen hundred or more, with two
railroads, two banks, two large
cotton gins. They gin a bale in
from twenty to thirty minutes,
but most of the cotton is sold in
the seed. The corn is husked in
the field. 1 see some still in the
field. It is often put in pens
which stand uncovered all winter.
Near Stroud 1 saw a large pile of
several hundred bushels piled up
on the ground ready to be shelled
mad shipped, I suppose, as I saw
* shelter at the place. 1 will close

The Diamond Cure.
The latent news from Paris, is,
that they have discovered a dia
mond cure for consumption. If
you feat consumption or pueutno-;
«>ia, it will, however, be best for
you to take that great remedy
mentioned by \\ . I'. Mctiee. of
Vanleer, Tenn. ‘‘Iliad a cough
for fourteen years. Nothing help
ed me. until I took Dr. King’s
.New Discovery for consumption,
coughs and colds, which gave in

BOYS AND THE FARM.
It may sound a little startling,
l>ut it is said to be true, that more
j'oung men are learning trades in
tlie penitentiaries than out of
them, because parents are trying
to make clerks, doctors, lawyers
and even preachers out of material
intended for blacksmith*, carpen
ter* and other trades of mechanics.
The trouble is the boys are eager
to avoid the labor of life, and too
anxious to follow some calling
that will not soil their hands, and
parents are to blame for this.
Hoys should be taught that there
is more dignity in manual labor
than in loafing, and more honor
in toiling than in dependence. The
Arkansas farmer boy today will
find that with the same energy
aud push employed on the farm
which he would have to’use in his
profession, even to make fair suc
cess, he will spend the declining
years of his life in ease and hap
piness.—.Johnson County Herald.

Forced to Starve.
B. F. Leek, of Concord, Ivy.,
says : ‘‘For 20 years I suffered
agonies, with a sore on my upper
lip. so painful, sometimes, that I
could not eat. After vainly try
ing everything else, I cured it
with Bucklen’s Arnica Salve.”
