Chandler News: An item rejecting
upon the character of Rev. A. f.
Thomson recently appeared in the re-
cent issue of Sunlight, monthly re
ligious publication at Guthrie Those
who are acquainted with Rev Thorn
son will not, of course, give the re
port of intemperance appearing in the
above named paper moments cred
ence His continuous residence here
and his earnest efforts to up build his
church are the best witnesses i'm his IA
vor, and when Mr., Gates, the editor
learns that he has been maliciously
misinformed, we are convinced that he
will make all possible amends. Mean
while Rev. Thomson and family can
feel assured of the sympathy and con
tidence of their neigh bors and ac-
quaintances
Pawnee Times Democrat: There
was a railroad meeting held at the
court house last night for the pur-
pose of mapping out line of action for
the people of this county. along the
proposed route of the Muskogee, okla
homa and Western railway. X. w
Dunlap and w. w. Herbert, of Cleve-
land, who are members of the board OF
directors of the road, were present and
on behalf of the people of Cleveland,
made proposition that Pawnee and
Cleveland should get the right-of-way
through the county and should share
equally in all the burdens Of the pre-
liminary work necessary to starting
the road A committee composed of
Messrs. Hanna. Fletcher Berry. Bad
dger and Coulter, to confer with the
people and get their feelings in the
matter was appointed. There will be
another meeting tonight, when they
Npect TO report progress IL is TO be
hoped that the people of Pawnee will
promptly accept the proposition and
start the work. Pawnee can eertainly
afford TO put as much money in this
undertaking as Cleveland The road
is undoubtedly the most practical one
yet proposed. as an examination of the
map will show. Pawnee cannot afford
TO set back and look wise now. Te
cumseh tried that and see the result
Everyone should assist in bringing
this road here as 1t is surely going TO
be built
