Guthrie is cosmopolitan The town
contains an types Of people. A type
just now in evidence IS called the
pull-baclts.
On the eve Of great boom, there
are men in Guthrie who refuse to con.
tribute to the railroad propositions.
The majority OF these fellows are
property holders. They skulk about
picking up snaps and hope to profit
by the rise in values 10 bring about
which they have done nothing. They
are veritable parasites. Every town
has them, but Guthrie has more than
her share at present.
Guthr 'o-s another baae. It is the
nonresident sfc2erty holder who re.
fuses to bear his share Of the pros
perity burden.
The Guthrie club has taken a wise
step in preparing black list of the
pull-backs in and out of the city.
Such a list will make interesting
reading. Meanwhile the Fort Smith
and Western railroad proposition
waits to be closed. Il can not close
itself It must have aid The notes
must be signed before Guthrie gets
action on the second road.
