THE BANK WHERE YOU SHOULD BANK
There never has been a time whou people are Inquiring
closer Into the methods of financial Institutions. TIiIh Is true
especially of hanks. In the management conservative? Are
loans made for speculative purposes,or overdrafts encouraged?
Are the olllcers bonded, and are they borroweis of the bank
they manage? Are loans made for the benefit of the few,
or are ull patrons treated with equal justice and extended
the same courtesies? Are the people who control the policy
of the bank, men of unquestioned financial and moral stand-
ing? These are questions that are aoked and should be asked.
WE ANSWER.
All our officers nre bonded.
No officer or employee can be a borrower.
Officers selected for their experience and merit.
Uniform courtesy to all patrons.
No discrimination to borrowers.
Overdrafts not allowed.
No loans made for speculative purposes.
Open an account with us and get acquainted. It will pay
you In the long run.

tnarkable and seiniaiional demon
stratlon was made i nla in front
of tlie city hall against the city po-
lice which was participated in by
more than 2(10 of the visiting Bap-
tist ministers. Till* pn vious after-
noon Rev, Mr. Carney, one of the
best known temperance 'ecturers in
the state, was arrested while preach-
ing on the st reels. The charge
ag.'inst him was carrying advertis-
ing banners on a vehicle without li-
cense. The police claimed that the
fact that the vehicle from which he
preached, had mottbes denouncing
saloons and the liquor traffic was a
violation of the ordinance.
When Rev. Mr. Carney's case was
called for trial there were present
in the Corporation court more than
-00 of the visiting Baptist ministers.
Rev. Mr. Carney was defended by
Attorney Silvues of San Antonio and
Attorney Lattimore of Fort Worth.
Judgment was suspended As the
crowd Hied out of the police station
the wagon from which Rev. Mr.
Carney preaches was standing In
front -of the city hall. Mr, Carney
and a quartet mounted the wagon
and began singing. When they fin-
ished. Judge Lattiniore, Mr. Carney,
K. B. Fletcher of Dallas and many
others denounced In immeasurable
terms the police for arresting a min-
ister who was preaching the gospel.
The addresses were heard by the
police, who were filing out of the
c|t\ h.ill, and by a crowd numbering
hundreds which had gathered. No
additional arrests were made.

lady. Speaking of the county super-

"I would like to serve as superin-
tendent of tlie county schools Just
one term to show the people of the
county that a woman can run same
acceptably to them, and I also have
some Improvements iu my mind that
I believe could be made in the run-
ning of the office, with no extra cost
to the tax payers, which I believe
they would Indorse. As yet. I can
not say, positively, but in all prob-
ability, I will he a candidate at the
proper time." Mrs. Borum has been
a teacher In the county for several
• ears, is the proud possessor of a
first grade certificate, and certainly
would liven up matters, politically,
should she run.

Houston, soldier, statesman and wan-
derer.
When (ieneral Houston suddenly
and mysteriously deserted his home,*
iiis bride of a few hours ami his of-
lice as governor of Tennessee, he
cane to the Cherokee Nation and
fell 1^ love with Talihina. a very
beautiful Cherokee girl. There Is a
story that he had seen this girl in
Georgia before she came to Indian
Territory and that it was i.ieniory of
lit r that led him westward. Any-
way he found her ami they lived to-
gether during Ills stay In Indian Ter-
I rltory. There In Fort Gibson on^the
bank ot the Grand, they were hap-
py and content. But the lust of bat-
tle was in Ills blood and the call to
liberate Texas no could not resist.
Without warning he left as suddenly
| as he had abandoned* his eastern
I home when he came to Indian Terrl-
jtory. Talihina pined for her lord
and iu a few months sifter his dis-
appearance she died in IH;I3.
Her body was buried at Wilson
Rock, a high bluff overlooking the
Arkansas river near Muldrow. I T..
ami a small cedar tree was planted
over her grave. For nearl;* sixty
years the body lay there in its for-
gotten grave, the cedar tree keeping
lonely vigil by night and the river
nun inurtiig in discontent as it rolled
by. Then Mr. Holden conceived the
notion that the wife of the great
warrior v as entitled to a more no-
ble resting place and he petitioned
the department to allow the bote's to
be taken up and re-interred in the
officers' circle over which floats the
flag in the National cemetery at
Fort Gibson. This was h very un-
usual request and the first thing the
government required was proof that
the giave was that of Talihina Hous-
ton before it would give permission.
Ii took a long time to collect, this
proof for sixty years in a lonely
grave seals the book of memory ill
many a mind. But tue proof was
finally secured and later permission
was granted by the government
| to place the remains in the officers'
circle. In the meantime Mr. Hol-
den had been raising money by sub-
Iscription to bear the expense of
transferring the body and erecting
I the marble monument.
1 Flint tended save by workmen, one
Saturday afternoon Mr. Holden went
to Wilson Rock and exhumed the re-
main*. He found the bones In a well
preserved state. In ihe grave was
found a large tortoise* shell comb
nearly si\ inches across which had
been <>m <>t Talihina's favorite orna-
ments in life and had been burled
with her. It was in a perfect state
of pi "sol vation. The casket Into
v. hich the i (■mains were placed were
complete!\ enfolded In an American
