The editor of the Putnam Demo

the town authorities have notified
him to keep off the street He now

With water almost unknown,
bread 30 cents q loaf and smoked
ham a dollar a pound, the few West
Virginians who are now in the
Cherokee Strip, doubtless wish
themselves back in the well watered
vine-cla hills of old West Virginia
Kanawha river coal men certainly
have had a great run of luck in the
past month. The river has given
them three separate coal boat rises,
while the Pittsburg men have been
unable to turn a wheel. Money
ought to be quite plentiful now IN

of typhoid fever in that part of the
town if this warning is not needed.
