WAURIKA, OKLA. This is a town twelve miles from Texas, or in other words just that many miles from hell. This is about as close as we would like to be to that place. This is a cotton country and there is quite a settlement of colored people in and around this territory who are a good natured class of people, trying to do what they can to make progress for themselves and the community in which they live; yet they are subjected to a lot of prejudice, but if they use proper methods they can overcome all this as colored people are a class who work hard and love to spend their money and the white merchants in this community know it. We would like to see the colored people establish stores in this town as we think they would do well. We met Mr. Wm. English, the baggagemaster, who understands the job. Mr. B. L. Andrews runs a rooming house. Mrs. Nora Anderson conducts a nice boarding house. We met Mrs. Laura Goodwin of Fort Worth, Texas, who owns good property. Mrs. Nettle Jamison is our correspondent, but up to this time we have had no news from her. --- Our next stop was at Watonga, which is quite an agricultural town, and there are two or three successful shoemakers, grocery stores, and some good homes owned by colored people. Peter Dixon and son conduct one of the shoe shops. We were proud to meet Mrs. McGee and her husband. Mrs. McGee has been a teacher in the public schools there for a number of years and she is one of the leading educators of Oklahoma. Mr. McGee conducts a successful grocery store and is not only one of the leading citizens of Watonga, but of Oklahoma. GEARY. We stopped at Geary, which is the county seat, for a few hours and found a town of a few colored people. We were glad to meet one of our old subscribers, Mr. Lewis Richardson, who owns a blacksmith shop and has lived in the town for a number of years. He also owns a nice little grocery store, has a wife and two daughters, and is one of Geary's leading citizens. Mrs. H. M. Marchanan conducts a fire restaurant, owns the building, which is two stories high and 125 feet deep. Mr. Marchanan is employed as chef in one of the leading hotels of the town. Mr. J. C. Guy is employed at one of the lending garages of the town. He is a machinist and owns good property. His son Jesse is a bright, intelligent young man. We met Mrs. Florence Nicholson and husband. Mr. Nicholson is one of the leading cooks of the city. NINGFISHER We stopped over at Kingfisher en route to Dover, where we met our friend Wm. King, who is now one of the police officers. He is a property owner and is doing much for the upbuilding of the town and his race. DOVER At Dover, our next stop, we found a community of twenty miles square which is thickly populated with colored people who are chiefly engaged in farming. We visited the farm of Mr. Sam P. Gracy and sons. This farm is about two miles out of Dover and they own and control over 400 acres of land, and raise cattle, hogs, mules, horses, grain and cotton. Mr. Gracy and his sons are hard working men and are highly respected citizens of that part of the country. They went into Oklahoma in the early days and staved on the job and made good. It is a great sight to see from fifty to a hundred head of hogs roaming in the pastures, being fed on watermelons grown for that purpose. Mrs. Groney has over twenty-five turtles which will be ready for market by Christmas. She also has over three hundred chickens. She is a sister of Mr. Milton Tyler, one of the faintest at the state heating plant in Tonga. Our next son was with Mr. Simpson Peter, who went to Oklahoma in the early dove, stuck to his farm and is now renaming the benefits. He owns 160 acres of land and his crops have been excellent this year. He will have nearly $2000 worth of cotton to market alone. If raises cattle tails and children to love, he has a dozen wife's full of business and in town on the farm. They have with them the grandson Simpson Peter Smith and of Mr. and Mrs. Wm Smith of the city. Mr. Smith is employed as a clerk at the August clothing store Young Smith is the idol of his grandfather and is now working side by side with him on his farm. Mr. Peters as preparing to make a great farmer of him and the boy is made of the stuff to stick. Mr. Osborne Drake is another one of the old timers, owns a farm of 160 acres, a nice house, plenty of stock of all kinds, and his chief crop this year was cotton. Mrs. Drake is one of Oklahoma's most industrious women and she has given great aid and comfort in making Mr. Drake a success. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Morgan, who went there in the early days and stuck to their eighty acres are now reaping the harvest therefrom. They have plenty of fine stock, chickens, turkeys, goose, and three or four hundred jars of fruit. Mrs. Morgan is a great church worker, an upright Christian lady and is always trying to help those who can not help themselves. Mr. Clarence Kinslow is a young farmer fast coming to the front and is making money. We expect to hear great things of this young man in the future. He is saving money and preparing to buy a large farm. Mr. and Mrs. E. Fisher own one hur'ed acres and are making good. We are always proud to mention the fact that these people went to their farms in the early days and remained on them, as so many did not reck and are now either in the poorhouse or roaming the country as tramps. Mrs. Katie Bukley, who lives near Crescent, owns a fine home and eight acres of land. Mr. S. P. Crowder owns a hundred acres of land three miles from Crescent and is making good. He went there in the early days. We must say that in this part of Oklahoma the colored people as a whole are making good. EDITOR'S NOTES. When in Kansas City, Mo., we stopped at the Lisemby Cafe, 707 Wandotte, and must say that Mr. and Mrs. Lisemby conduct a first class place with everything up to date.

Gone but not forgotten, and because of his character and disposition his church, the community in which he lived, as well as his beloved family will always remember him in the most pleasant manner. Bro. Wiley Sexton was an old resident of the city and during the forty-seven years of his stay in Fort Scott he made not only many friends, but they were legion. And why not have a legion of friends, for, by living the life of a Christian (for Bro. Sexton took Christ for his putten), there was nothing else in store for him. He was peaceful, quiet and patient; he was humble and kind; he was a neighbor well worthy of all the praise that could be given him—in fact, he was his brother's keeper. Bio. Secton was a faithful, dutiful and upright member of the A. M. E. church for more than 50 years. He belonged to class No. 4 of Wayman chapel and his class leader can only say of him that he lived as only a Christian could live. Even the children loved to hear him testify in class. His Christian life was pure, his moral life was one of the best, his life as a citizen was lawabiding. As a husband he was genuine, as a father the most kind, loving and affectionate. Wiley Paul Quinn Sexton was born in Belleville, Ill., January 12, 1841. He was married to Miss Frances Scott in April, 1868. To this union was born four children, two sons and two daughters. He leaves to mourn his demise a loving wife, who did all within her power to restore his health, with the assistance of the two daughters, who spared nothing to bring back his health; a loving son, a mother-in-law, and a host of relatives and numberless friends, a lodge and last, but not least, a church. So sleep on, Bro. Sexton and enjoy your rest. And the dead in Christ begin to rebound, Wife, mother, children and friends will meet you somewhere With God awake up in mid-air. J. H. T.

NEGRO GIRL IS THROWN FROM AUTO AND KILLED Jacotta Williams, a 16-year-old Negro girl, died Tuesday night as the result of what is believed to have have been accident, while auto riding with Clarence Porter, 23 years old, co-led driver of James Hayes floral truck. The accident occurred about 10 o'clock. according to the story told to Coronar O. P. Marcotte, who was called after the girl's death, Porter had taken the girl riding in the Hayes truck and when they were passing the corner of Tenth and Locust streets, met another car in such a manner that a quick turn was necessary. The girl was thrown out on her head, stikhane on the pavement. Porter took the girl to his own home, 620 North Topka avenue, instead of her own home at 907 Woods, a shit street in the "sandhill" district of North Topka. She died within half an hour after the accident, and Dr. Marcotte, who made an examination, pronounced death due to a fracture of the skull. Although Dr. Mariotte said that Porter told a stintight story, which grandled plausible, he recommended that the driver be held until further investigation could be made. Officers Pandy and Walt brought Porter to the police station to be held pending orders of the coroner. On November 9 the cloth visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. David Williams, bringing, to their joy, an eight-pound boy to their daughter, Mrs. C. M. Smith.
