Pulaifer, Jr., and Harrison Hermann in being in being among the ten successful candidates in a class of thirty taking the examination for entrance to the Military Academy at West Point, New York, again demonstrates the remarkable ability of Prof. B K. Bruce of Leavenworth, Kansas who was their instructor for this special examination. Throughout the entire United States Army Prof Bruce is known as one of the best instructors of candidates for commission. This reputation is his owing to the fact that during the past twelve years he has instructed more candidates than have successfully passed the examination and received appointment as a second lieutenant that other men in the states. has high reliability but to the system the course of action which is most appropriate with the regular government those competitive institutions. No time is wasted on it, the process being that of a teaching or touching nature, for the candidate who is making the and dash.

He began teaching in this city September 1, 1863, and has taught continuously. He is a man who stands for all that is good and for the advancement of our race.

MAJOR GEORGE F BUCHER is the people's choice for commissioner under the new form of government Muskogee, having adopted the commission form of government, will soon have election for commissioners at mayor. Many can indicate have entered the field, some have already been endorsed by the charter government league, but none of them are in the hearts of the people than Mr. Burcher, former councilman, and candidate for commissioner from the second commissioner's district. Major Burch is a native of Illinois. He served with distinction in the Union army and came to the old Indian territory to make his home. Since the day of his arrival Lero Mingges has been largely helped by its energetic endeavors to in ke this city a better. larger and more prosperous community. Owing to his foreight and businessomen, several of Michigan a large and wealthy additions were opened to settlement and placed on the market. Bucher's addition and Ceasar addition are all the products of his master mind. He has platt c. and and soaped these important additions to Michigan thereby adding largely to the city's wealth and population and endearing himself to thousands of her citizens who by his business foreight and liberal dealings have been enabled to purchase homes for themselves and families He was the choice of the Republi ans of North Muskoges for delegate to the constitutional convention, but owing to certain conditions, witn drew before the election. After statehood he was elected councilman from the fourth ward of Muskogee. No councilman was more jealous in his duties nor represented his constituents more faithfully than Major Bucher. His keen judgment business ability and political erience enabled him to secure more improvements for his ward than any of his predecessors and the fact that the fourth ward has so many public improvements is due to him more so than any other councilman that has represented the said ward. When the commission form of government was adopted by the city the voters of the fourth ward almost to a man, remembering the services of Major Bucher, requested him to become a candidate. No incessant was this demand that Major Bucher consented to run as an independent. There is no doubt of his election. He is essentially Mushogee's candidate, running in the interest of greater Mushogee, and on his the people's choice responses of polls there is no question of that he will poll one of the largest votes cast for any candidate at the election. April 10, 1800, in an uneventful gee, but the entire state of Ohio would not receive theerst and worth of this man. L. S. HAMLR. was born and raised in Iowa coming to Muskegee town a years ago. It has been identified with the business in terests of the city since coming here, owning large farming interests as well as city property. Business of the city will be safe in his hands as a commissioner of this city. He believes in protecting the owners of small homes by giving them low taxes and economy in the management of city government the same as if it was his own property. Any man who makes a success of his own business is the proper man to handle the affairs of the people. ANNOUNCEMENT.

South Carolina's Disgrace South Carolina has outdone all the states in the Union and all other communities in the civilized and uncivilized world in selecting an ass and a knave for governor. Below is a simple of what he is and what the people may expect. The Charleston Messenger says: Over seventy and Negro to the public in the state of South Carolina have been sent down by Governor Blake. He has notified all of the clerks of court in the state not to register the name of a Negro in a literary public, and has threatened to take off every public load that sets upon the shout dera of a Negro. South Carolina will never move up in the galaxy of her progressive sister states until such men as Tellman and Blease are relegated to the rear. No loud mothed, ignorant, blather-skite can ever lead a people. The sooner the decent white people of South Carolina take hold of the reigns of government the better it will be for all. No honest, Christian gentleman would resort to the disreputable method adopted by Governor Blease. The colored people have business to transact, and why not have men of their race to act for them? The Governor must be on the verge of going to the mad house or seeking cheap notoriously Calhoun, Hampton, Askea and men of that stripe never went out of their way to throw stones in the path of the Negro. They were too busy measuring arms with men whom they considered to be their equal. Please cannot cope with the strong briny men of his own race hence he turns his attention to the poor deterreckless clocks to make a point for his ungruded soul. May the God of vengeance ever visit him and forever and eternally down him for the mean things of his colored constituents. In he continue, his present god, let the whole South join in praying that some calamities will befall him.
