New Court Clerk for Muldrow On last Saturday County Judge McCombs. came down to Muldrow and appointed for the term, Robt. Walton as clerk of the Couijty- Court at this place, some four or five applicants for the place, and for. days Judge McCombs.had found himself just a little bit puzzled in the matter of a choice, desiring to dp justice to all, and knowing that it must be more or less a disappointment to "those who were not appointed.

He, therefore, took time to look into the situation; and finally made the appointment as above stated. The appointment will meet the approval the citizens in this part ot the county interested in the court at Muldrow, and indeed the appointment of any of the applicants would have met this approval, since. all were well qualified and -came recommended by the citizens of Respective communities. The new clerk is one of Mul- drovv's highly respected young men, fresh from school, in every way qualified for the Work of the office, and Judge McCombs will find he has made no mistake.

Muldrow has the reputation of being the best market cou nty and for the past week she has been proying this to farmers all over the county. Farmers from' Sallisaw, Marble City, Vian, ahd other distant points over the county have been bringing their cotton to this pla9e to have it ginned. So far as We have learned, the J.

W. Goodman Gin and the Oklahoma Gin are the only gins now in operation in the: county. The cotton that is now being bought after sundown in the cottpn season, so to speak, ing thesame price it would though all the gins in the county- were in operation. This, by the way, is something the farmers should remember as it shows the broadness of the- -Muldrow ginners. The small profit realized on the amount ofinferibrcotton that is Coming in now does; pay more than operating expenses, but it affords the farmers a place to sell and gin the remnants of-their cotton fields.

Again we say, Muldrow is the best cotton market in Sequoyah county. -V To Oru We wish to announce that we are now ready to supply their wants, either for cash or credit.
