A Clear Conscience.
We have closed our inventory and are more than pleased at the results of the year's trade. 1899 was a good year at our store. We appreciate the liberal patronage given us, and will try to show what we think of it by the extremely low prices and courteous treatment at our store in the future. We have a clear conscience at the close of the year, for we know that we have sold good goods at a small price, and have had no complaint.
We are grateful for the favor of the public, and shall appreciate all the patronage we receive in the future. - J. M. Hall & Co.

Creek.
Sapulpa Light: - The advance guard of the railroaders arrived in Sapulpa last Thursday afternoon. Mr. Dana, who was prominently connected with the work from here to Oklahoma City has put in his appearance. The railroad men will occupy the building belonging to H. C. Hall & Co., on north side of railroad track, and the old commissary building belonging to Thos. Wills on south side of track. The surveyors are here to begin work laying out the route that will be followed by the Frisco into Denison, Texas. The contract for the entire extension has been let, and the head contractors are now letting out sub-contracts. Mr. Dana says no further delay will be experienced. The present Harvey eating house will be converted into a depot, while the railroad will build another larger house for hotel purposes.

Cherokee.
The following persons are those favored by the Cherokee school board with positions in the Cherokee high schools: Male Seminary, L. M. Logan, principal; W. A. Thompson, first assistant; R. L. Mitchell, second assistant; E. C. Alberty, third assistant; Wm. P. Thorne, fourth assistant. Female Seminary - Miss A. F. Wilson, principal; Mrs. H. W. C. Shelton, first assistant; Miss Lillian Alexander, second assistant; Miss Patsy Mayes, third assistant; Miss L. Morgan, fourth assistant; Bessie Cunningham, fifth assistant. Colored High School - Mrs. Fannie Lowery.
Vinita Republican: - Both of the banks held their annual elections
Page 3, column 5
yesterday. The Vinita National elected its old officers, but the First National dropped the name of M. E. Milford, and A. L. Churchill was put in his place. The balance of the officers stand as they were.
Vinita Chieftain: - The prospects are excellent for an abundant supply of water at the artesian well being drilled in this city. This morning the water stood within six feet of the surface and the well was then about 425 feet deep. The supply seems to be inexhaustible, but the company purpose going on down in the hope of striking a flow that will rise above the surface.
Vinita Leader: - The authenticated Cherokee rolls have been turned over to the Dawes Commission by Chief Buffington, The Dawes people will being the work of allotment in the spring and will need them, besides there has been talk that the Cherokee capitol building would be burned. There are no vaults for the safe keeping of these important records, and they are safer by far in the fire proof vaults at Muskogee.
Phoenix: - It seems certain that smallpox has now also been well established in the Cherokee Nation. The mildness of the type of the disease and the mildness of the weather give great hope that there will no serious results, but nevertheless it is a good idea to go about fixing one's house for the unwelcome visitor. Prepare the system as much as possible, get rid of the dirt and filth, and adopt the modern hygenic methods. The best information obtainable is that more than two-thirds of this town have been vaccinated either this year or the last, and those who will take no precaution need not complain if they suffer by their own negligence.

Osage.
Perry Enterprise-Times: - Pawnee county has had a world of trouble lately and it all seems to come from the fact that the Osage country is attached to that county for judicial purposes. The Ponca, Otoe and Missouri countries are attached to Nobel county for political purposes, but so far not a breath of scandal has been caused thereby.
