fciated.
The bride is highly accomplished, an

At the appointed hour the happy
couple, to the strains of Mendelsohn's
wedding march. took their places be-
meath huge bell of flowers and ever
green and the words were spoken which
made them one. The ceremony was
beautiful and unusually Impressive.
The decorations were profuse and ap.
propriate, the gifts useful, numerous
and costly. The wedding supper was
indeed a feast. :
Both bride and groom haye grown
from childhood in FL Dorado, were
classmates in the schools here and both

On Saturday number of onr farmers
and business men met at the courthouse
in this city and organized, temporarily,
Feed Growers Association. The in
tention OF the association is to create a
sale for feed in Barber county by ex-
tensive advertising and correspond
euce. Barber county has an abund-
ance of feed better in quality than the
country south and west and if stock
men learn OF our superiority in this re-
spect they Will winter their stock IN
this county. This, of course will Gre
ate market. We are glad this step
has been taken and it will doubtless re-
suit benefcially. At the Temporal
organization On Saturday, II. II. Case
was made temporary chairman and l..
Colyln temporary secretary. It was at
tended by quite number of farmers
and considerable interest in the organ
lZatlon was manifested This is the
right step III the right direction and
every farmer and citizen in the county
should assist those who have made
this move. 1t is question of dollars
and cents with everybody in the coun-
tY.

The debate beween Judge Ellis and
G. NJ. Martin took place at Kiowa on
Saturday night as previously advertised.
Everybody with whom we have talked
who heard it says that the Judge came
out victorious and we are told fhatJ. N.
Titus, president of the Mckinley club
and Mr.. Martins second, says it was a
stand off-no victory for either man.
This admission from man so preju-
diced in favor of Mr.. Martin. is almost
conclusive evidence that Martin got the
worst oft. The next debate between
these two gentlemen will occur at Lake
City next Saturday evening, August
18th.

Last week the Cresset published the
statement Of county expenses during
the years 1895 and 1896, that appeared
in this paper several weeks ago, and af-
ter noting that the expenditures are de-
creaSing it concludes thusly:
This is a showing in the right direction and
one we are glad to note. Let the good work
go on along this line and Barber county will
come out on top.
We would respectfully ask our con-
temporary to note in it's next issue that
1.-The good work. is being executed by
Populist officers and that the above few
lines are very much IN contrast with it's
usual campaign thunder which said at
different times that the Pops are bank
rupting the county. But even at this
late day we are glad to see the sheet
come out and ''fess up" Let the Ores
set, during the coming campaign, stand
by its present convictions and give the
Populists due credit for decreasing
county expenditures and it will, in this
respect, be travelling ''ih the right di-
rection.''

The organization of the Bryan Silver
League at Sun City on Saturday even
ing was well attended with great sue
cess. Twenty three voters signed at
the meeting and great many more
have since signed. Speeches were
made by Hon. FL. S. Lands, Hon. E.
Sample and Fred r. Ellis. The meet
ing was enthusiastic and not partisan.
The cause of silver is greater than
partisanship and in these trying times
the people are not going to be governed
by prejudice. The Club organized by
electlng l.. G.. Harmon president and
Louis Blssantz secretary. The meet
ing was we'll attended though. the at
tendance would have been greater had
the condition of the weather not been
threatening. However. the audience
consisted of about seventy persons, ali
of whom, with three exceptions, were
voters.

In the DemOrest Contest at the Opera
House on Tuesday night of last week.
Miss Nellie McGregor was awared first
prize, Mr.. E. b. Taylor second, and Mr..
Harry Mcclure third. The first prize
was a silver medal and the second and
third were choice books by prominent
authors. The contestants were. Mis-
ses Nellie McGregor. Ida Mccoy, Es-
Their Lusk, Eva Lewis: Messrs E. B..
Taylor, Harry Mcclure, U. G.. Rogers
and Roscoe Robinson. The Judges
were a. l.. Noble, Rev. Cain and Mrs.
a. Nj. Houchin. Before they announc-
ed their decision they stated that the
contestants were so near together that
1t was hard to make decision, which
opinion was shared by the audience.
The different competitors all showed
marked orstorical ability, and while
they could not all receive prizes. the
unsuccessful ones contributed as much
to the success of the entertainment as
those which were successful. The mu-
sic furnished by the normal chc!r and
several individuals was also q feature
of the evenings entertainment, the in
srumental solos by Miss Mary Davis
deserving special mention. While all
will not endorse the sentiments, per-
haps, brought out by the different reci-
tations, yet all will agree that they
were deliberately entertained. The pro-
ceeds of the evening were over S21.00.
as stated last week the money was ap-
pied to purchasing normal diction-
airy and paying incidental expenses.
Barber county can well be proud of her
corps of progressive teachers and in
structors.

Editor NJ. A. Hull was up from Kio-
wa last Friday and Saturday. He re-
ports the political situation in Kiowa
better than it has ever been before. He
says the silver agitation will deplete
the republican ranks greatly and that
everybody is talking for Bryan and the
Populist state ticket. Mr.. Hull was
greatly disappointed because of the
failure OF speakers to arrive at the
widely advertised meeting at Kiowa
last Thursday night, as extensive prep
aratiOns had been made tor the occas-
ion and large crowd was awaiting the
arrival of the Hon. Jerry Simpson.
However, since unforeseen events hap
pened unexpectedly, Kiowa will have
another meeting and it is hoped that
the speakers as well as the crowd will
be on hand. Milt is in it for success
and all appreciate his voluntary ser
vices,

PROGRESSIVE HAzzLroH.

On the 18th OF this month the Hazel
ton free silver people met, and took the
preliminary steps for organizing a Bry-
| an free silver club, and on the evening
| OF the 18th they met and completed
their organization by electing Ed r.
German, president; z. T. l.. Burns,
vice president; R. w. Fullerton, treas
urer; M. c. Cayanaugh, secretary; ]. F.
King, w. S. Ballard, w. A. Maddox,
w. G. Afford, executive committee, and
voted to hold regular meetings every
Saturday night for the present, COM
mencing on the 22nd.
At the meeting Saturday evening, the
END, Mr.. R. D. Ranck, an old farmer
residing south of town about four
miles, made them a speech of nearly an
hour on the free silver question, and
while he makes no claims to OratOry he
showed that he was fully able to cope
with many that have conceived the
idea that they can talk and besides he
had the subject well in hand and made
what everyone comedies to have been q
very strong and able argument in favor
of the poor mans money as against the
gold standard. He held the close at
tention of his audience and spoke in a
clear and intelligent manner. He quot
ed very little from others, but said
what he had to say principally from his
own standpoint. Such talks as his will
have tendency to put the gold stan.
dard fellows to thinking, and ought to |
be the means of causing some of the
fair minded among them to see that
they are working against the interest |
OF the poor men and especially against |
the farmers of this country.
The club now has over so members
and has not yet got started among the |
people in the country. 1t is the inten.
ton of the club to meet every SATURDAY. |
evening till after the election and to |
have one or more speeches at each
meeting. They want to exchange views
and get at this subject in its true light. |
The speaker for the next meeting has
not yet been announced but the COM
mittee say they will have one there
sure. CITIZEN

W. Jennings Demorest. of New York city, q
few years ago bequeathed a large sum of
money, the interest to be used in furnishing
silver. gold and diamond medals to the best
speakers at temperance literary contests.
The contestants are required to select their
recitations from temperance productions
only, and to be drilled IN the art of public
speaking, so as to be able to give a creditable
entertainment. Prof. Kenwell, d teacher in
the Barber county normal, and principal of
the Kiowa school, has interested himself in
this matter, and as a result contest was held
at the opera house, August Is and was
greeted by large and attentive audience.
There were eight contestants. who delivered
the following declamations:
Memorial Days" E. B. Taylor.
New Fashioned Man." Harry Mcclure.
1.-TWO Goblets,'' Q. G. Rogers.
THE Coming Battle" Roscoe Robinson.
"Rizpah Mourning for Her Sons" Miss
Nellie McGregor.
Christian Temperance Union" Miss Esther
Lusk. =.
1.-Two Fires" Miss Eva Lewis.
American Joshua" Miss Ida Mccoy
Prof. Kenwell. of Kiowa, and Miss woodin,
of Medicine Lodge. had the care of drilling
the contestants. Excellent music was fur
ntshed for the occasion by local talent. The
judges we're Mr.. A. L. Noble, Mrs. A. M
Houchin and Rev. w. A. Cain, who awarded
the first prize-Demorest medal-to Miss
Nellie McGregor. the second prize-Byron's
poems-to e. B. Taylor. and the third prize
Mrs. Heman's poems-to Harry MCGUIRE
The judges found on comparing markings
that the remainder of the class were very
close in point of merit to those receiving
prizes. The proceeds of this contest are to
be used In purchasing books for the begin
ming of Q library for the future use Of the
Barber county normal institute. 1t is to be
hoped that the success attending this contest
viii enthuse our young people to give other
entertainments. May the teachers of Barber
county be enthused TO teach temperance to
the youth of their schools. W.

Kiowa Review: Monday morning
while Cash Lewis was cleaning a well
at James Holmes ranch miles east
of Aetna, he was overcome by foul air
and died in few minutes. The exces.
sive heat of the past two months makes
1t dangerous for men who work under
ground and we would advise them to
wait until we have had a rain before
undertaking 1t unless they test the air
before entering the we'll. ;. If you see
something walking along the street
that looks like an Arkansaw senator
don't get scared and pull a gun and
shoot at it. 1t is only Clark G. Hudson
home on visit. He is looking well
and says Bryan will walk into the
White house with a larger electoral
vote and more people behind him than
any other man since the days of Wash
Ington and Lincoln. In Oklahoma he
also says the people will retire Dennis
Flynn to private life.

that Oscar is making arrangements to
