III. B. Owens is suffering from a
sprained ankle caused by fall this
week. 1t is not SO bad however but
that his mind is In measure free t.
admire the beautiful, as evidenced by
the fact that he made a purchase OF
Eyergreens to beautify his home OF
Second Avenue.
There are many fine thoroughbred
horses TO be found in Audubon county

The appointment of W. j. Lancelot
to be postmaster at Gray makes the
third time that he has been called to
the civil service of our Uncle Samuel.
In the winter of 1867 he was appoint,
ed to handle the mails at Thompson, In
Cameron, where he remained till Audi
bon was a few months old, when Thomp
son was discontinued. in 1885 he was
appointed to the Ross office, which he
held till he resigned to move to Gray,
and now for the third time he reaches
out his long pole and plucks the per-
simmOn.
1t is somewhat remarkable, though
in fulilllment of the promiscuously ap-
piled saying that "shOemaker's children

not have time to do trimming or for

select the names of presidents, military
heroes, etc, whose glory cannot be en-

Choosing the names of eminent liter
ateurs is an educational factor of itself
and may incite the pupils interest to
the extent that, If he be a student, he
will search out that authors works.
THE REPUBLICAN would like to see the
custom varied by division of honors
at least. Prof. q. |. Miller, Mr.. A. ii.
Roberts and others, have rendered ser.
vices worthy of permanent honor about
the school building.
The progress of b. +. IIowald's bust
ness career is pretty well represented
in the buildings he is now occupying
for the last year. Mr.. Howald was one
of the earliest settlers on tins Oklahoma
of '7S, and put up small building
25x40 OH the corner of Broadway and
Washington street. The side of the
building shows four additions, made as
increasing business demanded, until
that building reached the alley, l25 feet
from the front. Two years ago he

ing department, and now the two are
inadequate, only serving until August
when his grand new brick building
50x1OO feet, three stories from the
basement floor shall be completed.
And these building maneuvers extend
ing from '7s till 80, represent the growth
of a mercantile establishment managed
by "A careful and iuldiciOuS businpss man
