R. Y. Cant brought in few ears
of corn last week, taken from VIM. Ho.
CARDS field near Isabel. The ears are
large plump and almost matured. Mr..

age of four hundred acre field. Mr..

hundred of which will yield heavy
crop. His is said to be among the best
in that vicinity.
"A picnic and fishing party compos-
ed of number of the young people of
this city devoted last Thursday and
Friday to merriment at Elm Mills.
They report pleasant time, lots of
fish and game; the fish being of the u.s.
ual fishstory size. One of the party
who intended to 90 was left behind,
owing to the fact that he had his pic
mic" at home the night before.
Mrs. J. NJ. DeLlsle has secured the
principalship of the Hazelton school.
Mrs. DeLisle has been foremost among
the teachers of the our schools for the

monster (?), seven being in attendance,

vid Nation, E. H. Nixon, Dial Morris.
and 7. l.. Llndley. The affair is ac-
ty's history in this township. HoweV-
or they would have had another in at
tendance, had 1t not been for the fact
that Chester is on campaign tour.
The school board has selected the
following teachers for our school here:
Mrs. O'Bryan, Miss Taber, Miss Howe,
Miss Burgess and Miss Bernlce Wood
ward. This will be Miss Woodward's
first term as a teacher in our city
schools, but she has taught several
schools in this county and has always
given the best of satisfaction. We
think it is good selection. Miss Bur
CESS has taught several terms here.
The others were retained from last
year.
Two ball games will be played here
Friday; one between Medicine Lodge
and Kiowa, the other between Med
icine Lodge and Alva. Both Alva and
KIowa are said to have imported play
ers and hence better games are expect
ed than at any time previous. Every
body take lay off on Friday and come
and see two games in one day. A
grand ball will ba given at the opera
house for the benefit of
club, the same evening. Come and
have good time.
The case of State VS.. Thacker was
tried before Justice Howe last Thurs
day. Defendants demurrer to the
evidence was sustained and case dis
missed. Thacker was arrested on the
charge OF disturbing school meeting,
using boisterous language, etc. The
row resulted in adisgracefnl fight and
subsequent suit in court. The way in
which the case was conducted was a
peculiar one, the Judge taking a nap
while it was in progress. We leave our
readers to Judge for themselves wheth.
