RALP 116 OSAGE Isabel Lewis, Little Negro Girl Whose Income is Now close to $200 a Day. Will Soon be Receiving $650 a Day, an Annual Income of $237,000. J V Berry sends a letter, which is published in the Globe-Democrat of August 5th, 1906, from Tulsa, I T describing the marvelous good fortune of a little colored girl, from which we make the following extracts: In the Creek nation lives a little girl named Isabel Lewis, the daughter of a Negro who was formerly a Creek slave. This little girl owns eighty acres of land, part of her allotment in the new "Glenn Pool" oil district, which is giving her an income such as only millionaires can have. There are three oil wells on her land, each of which is producing 1000 barrels of oil per day, and each of which is capable of having its daily capacity doubled 'It is the announced intention of the company that has leased her land to put down seven more wells. If each of the additional wells produces as much as those already drilled, and there is no reason to doubt it, her royalty of one-eighth of the entire amount produced at 52 cents per barrel, the present market price of oil, will give her a daily income of $650, or an annual income of $237,000. At 5 per cent that amount would be the interest on a capital of nearly $5,000,000. Under the lease which Isabel Lewis has granted to the operators who have leased her land, which was approved by the secretary of the interior, the oil which is her daily share is turned into the pipe line of the Standard Oil Co., and the money it represents is at once placed to her credit.

Josephine Morrison, another little Negro girl, 12 years of age, the daughter of a Creek freedman, has an allotment of 160 acres in the oil producing district surrounded on all sides by flowing wells. The Morrison girl has her tract leased on a royalty of one-eighth of all oil produced. The lessess of this tract intend to drill at least twenty wells as fast as the oil can be taken care of by the Standard O.I. Co. The father of the Morrison girl, as well as of the Lewis girl, has been appointed guardian of his daughter. Their guardianship, however, is only nominal, for the reason that every act of the guardians must be approved by Secretary Hitchcock. This scrutiny of accounts, particularly in the expenditure of money, by the United States Secretary of the interior, cannot help but result in making both the Morrison and Lewis girls very wealthy women when they arrive at legal age.—Advance.

Don't take too much advice. Keep at your own helm and steer your own ship, and remember that the great art of commanding is to take a fair share of the work. Think well of yourself; strike out; assume your own position; put potatoes in your cart, over a rough road, and small ones go to the bottom. Rise above the envious and jealous,—fire above the mark you intend to hit. Energy—Invincible Determination with the Right motive are the levers that move the world,—don't drink—don't smoke—don't swear—don't deceive—don't read novels, and don't marry until you can support a wife.

Mrs R D WILLIAMS, 2028 Lawton Ave.. St Louis, Mo. Mrs. Herndon Honored. Warrensburg, Mo., August 6— Mrs. Maria Herndon, a delegate to the recent Grand Session of the International Order of Twelve held at Mexico, on the 24-23 ult. was appointed as one of the Deputy Grand Organizers for the Jurisdiction of Missouri. She has been clothed with the authority to institute new tabernacles, palladiums and tents. More than 100 delegates were in attendance. During the year, collections in the various departments were as follows: Burial Fund, $3,634.15 Endowment, $5,290.05 General Fund, $1,612.39 Grand Total, $10,537.19 Negroes Grow Wheat. The Negro farmers of Blackburn, Sweet Springs and Mount Leonard vicinities in Saline county have reported the total of this year's yield of wheat to be 8380 bushels. We mention those who have reported to us through the Rev. Dennis Payton: George Baker, 1700 bushels Herbert Guthrie, 950 bushels Gus Howard, 350 bushels Armstead Spriggs, 325 bushels Thornton Payton, 500 bushels Halleck Johnson, 500 bushels James Johnson, 340 bushels Silas Morehead, 365 bushels George Hayes, 500 bhshels Harvey Smith, 400 bushels Edward Pollard, 225 bushels Newton Pollard, 700 bushels Alfred Harper, 306 bushels Turner Baker, 350 bushels Lee Stevenson, 250 bushels Horace Cooper, 200 bushels George Clay, 300 bushels Emanuel Clay, 500 bushels P.

Two lodges, one in Kansas, Kansas City lodge, No. 59 and one in St Louis, Semper Fidelis No. 34, have already arranged for their cards. This shows that they appreciate the efforts the Conservator is making to further the interests of Pythianism. Both are prosperous organizations. No. 50 has J E Walton, a former student of our college, at its head with Guy Marshall as its Keeper of Records and Seal. No. 34 is one of the largest lodges in the state, and it also has the "biggest" Keeper of Records and Seal, O J Biggs, to be found anywhere. Not only is this lodge noted for numbers but it is noted for its benevolence. Her warriors led by O J Biggs, T H Butler and James H Harrison, know nothing of failure. We shall from time to time let the world know what this lodge is doing for the good of humanity. When you wear the B. Kuppenheimer ```markdown ``` SUITS. You have the best made.

The fiscal year just closed has been a great one for the Pythians of this state. New measures adopted at our recent annual session will, if properly administered, make possible a more prosperous year of 1906-7. All legislation entered into was thoroughly ventilated before its adoption. Hence no cries of imperfection will arise. For the CONSERVATOR to be to the organization what it should be, will require the co-operation of all the Lodges and Courts in the state. They must send in their news, social, commercial and political. We shall give it just and patient consideration. Let us all "get busy." We must organize 15 lodges this year and add 2000 Knights to our roll. It is possible if we will give our loyal support to the Grand Chancellor and his orders. Colleges Notes.

According to a sworn statement made by the members of the county court at that time, Mr Flentge not only stands exonerated of any effort to withhold money that belonged to the county, but in addition is out of pocket some $000. The statement of the county court goes to show that Mr Flentge, as collector, turned in receipts for road taxes that had been worked out to the amount of some $600. These persons' names did not appear upon the tax books, and, accordingly, the county did not allow the credit. In order to settle the matter, although he disagreed with the court, Mr Flentge, to make his books balance, paid the money out of his own pocket.—St Louis Republic, Aug 1, 1900. $20.

The Twentieth Century Club of the St James M Echurch celebrated August 4th in great style. The old soldiers were the invited guests. Rev WH II Brown, of Independence, was the orator of the day. His speech reflected great great credit upon the old soldiers and upon himself. Rev Brown is known throughout the country as a ready speaker and gifted orator. Revs J N Jackson, J H Bell, Prof Payne and R G Williams delivered interesting addresses. The ladies had everything systematically arranged and carried out to the letter. They deserve and have great credit for the success of the occasion. The receipts amounted to $161 the greatest in the history of the church. The money was applied to the new building fund. The Ladies' Aid society is doing nicely under the supervision of Mrs Laura Bell who made an interesting report to the District Conference. This society has raised considerable money this Conference year. Our congregation continues to increase, and when we get our modern church, which under God we hope to start in the near future. The Fulton charge will stand in the lists of our leading churches. Mrs Kitjie Jeffers is the untiring self-sacrificing and victorious president of the Twentieth Century Club.

A True Copy from the Record. M V KENNEDY, D C. H G PHILLIPS, Plaintiffs Attorney. The New State of Oklahoma Bigger than Missouri: as big as Ohio and Indiana combined, with a soil teeming with all the crops that any state raises, OKLAHOMA—the new state—is destined to occupy first rank in a few short years. Here at the present time over a million people are duplicating the life which is going on in Illinois and Indiana. Their houses; their towns and their schools are newer but in nothing else do their surroundings differ from those in other states. Their cities and towns are growing and expanding with the impetus of a fertile soil, and a pushing, wide awake citizenship. Her settlers, mainly from the older states, see the virtue of encouraging enterprises of every kind and the needfulness of getting more and better facilities; of getting more hands to develop the country. In brief, conditions today are simply these: OKLAHOMA is in need of nothing save people. More men are needed in the towns; and more farmers for the vast areas of unimproved land not now yielding crops of which it is capable. There are openings of all sorts for for farmers and artizans, for mills and manufacturing plants, for small stores of all kinds. YOUR OPPOTUNITY NOW The opportune time is now while the land is cheap. The country is fast settling up. If you purchase land now, you will soon see grow up around you a community of prosperous energetic,men who like yourself have seen the brighter possibilities of OKLA-HOMA and have taken advantage If you are in any way interest ed in OKLAHOMA Id like to send you a copy of my free paper "The Coming Country." On the First and Third Tuesdays of each month you can make a trip to OKLAHOMA exceptionally cheap. Round trip tickets good thirty—30—days will be sold by all lines in connection with the M. K. & T.
