w. FL. Howard, of this city, hands us
a recent copy of the Daily Republican
published at Lawton, Oklahoma, of
which his son Bert Howard is editor and
business manager and that Bert is pros
pering can be readily seen by glancing
at the we'll filled advertising columns of
the paper which is newsy eight page
paper.
The Newspaper Blue Book, just now
issued, gives list of what are the best
papers in each state of the union, the
rank being determined by the amount
of clippings that have been called for
from those papers by the press clipping
bureaus. In New York the Times heads
the list, in Chicago the Tribune. In
Iowa The Des M Dimes Leader far exceeds
any other journal.
In the daily papers it is stated that
James j. Hill, the new controlling in
tluence in the g. B, & @. railroad intends
to turn the express business of the road
from the Adams Express Co. to the
Great Northern Express Co., Of which
he Is proprietor. What Leon needs
more than a change of express com.
panies is an uptown express office. 1t
is needed badly and our business men
are certainly entitled to the accomoda-
ton.
Elder o. E. Hamilton's lecture
"Where Are We At" which was to have
been given at the Church of Christ of
Decatur City last Saturday evening was
postponed on account of the meetings
in progress until Saturday evening of
this week, Jan. 25th. He is fluent and
interesting speaker and the church
should be packed as the proceeds are
for worthy purpose, to help defray the
expenses of the meetings at Decatur
City which have just closed with glorious
results. Admission 25 cents and every
one should attend.
