JudQa McCord Complimented on
Hll Charge to the Grand
Jury, Etc* .
Editor T*|-|*hone:
1,1 The good people and citizens of
V’an Zandt county ought to memo-
rialise Judge McCord on that
charge to the grand jury.
Th\t such a-charge, with charges
■directly and indirectly therein con-
usd. should become necessary
from such a source is a crying
The oflicial notification of tha shame and tinging rebuke kyyvny
withdrawal of Watt's name as post-
master at Muldrow was received
here with much pleasure by the In-
dians and seems to give additional
assurance that the government pro-
poses to put Watts out of the Cher-
okee country and thus forever put
an end to tho Cherokee citizenship
association. Notwithstanding the
fact that Watts and hi* little asso-
ciation has gotten the worst of it so
far his people are making arrange-
ments to defy tho Cherokee govern-
ment and say they will fight before
they will allow the Cherokees _to
tell their homes. A meeting was
held at Wagoner, I. T>, whero a-
general review of the year was had.
The meeting was lively and inter-
esting all the way through and
much merrymaking was hod over
the appointmont of Watts as post-
master at Muldrow. When the
news came that Watts had been de-
throned there was wild excitement.
A meeting was ut once held at Mul-
drow, the home of Watts, where the
full force of tho „ association was
present. Speeches were made by
tho leaders denouncing the Chcro-
kces as a gang of robbers, cut
throats and thieves and finally win-
ding up with the declaration that
the Cherokee natron wotrld ho open-
ly defied when the time came for
their removal. Some of his as.ro-
ciation’s members aro men of con-
siderable means and carry more or j jng a twenty-doll ir pony, but it is
less influence. An assessment of L Rrcut |;lb,r on tho part of the

citizen of the “Free State.” Rut
who, that has traveled the roads and
attended the courts, dare deny the
truth -and justness of those charges.
“Reporting to the court” on the
negligence of road.overseers with-
out executing the laws on tho same
reminds one of the monotonous res-
olutlng in both church arid state
mattery with bujt,» moiety of exe-
cuting. “Public opinion” is what’s
the matter; the many agarnyt the
proper execution of the laws' to the
few in favor. Actions speak louder
than words. But does not our ju-
diciary in-many places need a little
more backliono-Tor, perhaps legal
brains in order fo lead and direct?
The following is too true: “The
practice by ike commissioners*
court of appointing men overseers
of the roads who were the ehoiee nf
the hands,he thought, was “pemicj
ious, and ought not to be further
followed by the courts, for. the
hands would claim privileges, and
often did secure immunities,” etc.
Good people want the laws enforced
and it will holp tho bad to have
them enforced.

The success of Colonel Lamont
in managing Mr. Cleveland has pft-

and wondered at. Iamlnt proba-

says thf New York Press, and,
strange to relate, David B. Hill had

a story about Cleveland, Lamont

Lamont said nothing, hut in a

Trie follow ing article clipj>ed from
an exchange is full of meat and
good advice to young men:
Bay, young man, there is one
thihg you cannot do. You can’t
make a success in life unless you
work. Better men than you have
tried it and failed. You can’t loaf
around street corners and saloons,
: jgnoka cigars, ieJUoul stories, drink
whiskey amfVponge on some one
else without making a failure in
life. You must learn a trade or
get into some honest business. If
you don’t, you will be a chronid
loafer, despised by all, producing
nothing—dimply making yourself
a burden on your parents or the
state. There is no place in the
world to-day for loafers, the ripe
fruit Is all at the top of the tree.
You must climb to get it. If you
wait for it to fall at your feet, you
will never get 4t. Smarter men
willjtimp up and pluck it all.
Move. Do something, no matter
how small. It Will be a starter.
There is no royal path to success.
Toil, grit, endurance—these sre;the
requisites. Wake up and see what
you eon do. "Wi

and nature coincide. “He that^vill

ed 200 worde of the monkey lari-

that charge to tho grand jury, ujkmi
tho house tops and the “salt of the
>arth” will bo with^»y.
Now, there is one other of our
county’s benefactors every true cit-
izen should bid godgj’K'cd and that
one is Prof. O. Rice of Myrtle
Springs. He is coming to the front
as an educated of the right calibre.
Myrtle is to be congratulated on
her good fortune in securing so live

of her school. Arouse, ye Canton-

predict, be a' great as well As gala
day for Myrtle Springs,-and if
nothing prevents, we, from Roddy,
will be there with our schools.
Hurrah for Myrtle, and hail to
her chief—her educational hea<f.
We love all of Van Zandt, but we
yield the palm where justice prints
it due. Nevertheless, we have in
well-developed and developing em-
bryo, some mental and moral giants

footprints on the sandsol time. In

the front educationally. Let her
