A NOTABLE ENTERTAINMENT.
 An audience that crowded the Town hall entertainment room to an Over- flow of it's seating capacity on Labor day evening, fully enjoyed the several representations as given under the auspices of the ladies of St Peters church. The dramatic talent essayed very acceptably farce and comedietta both quite amusing. Characters were interpreted in these by Miss Jessie M. Wheeler, Miss Annie Goldsborough, Miss Agnes Smith, Miss E. Rose Wheeler and Miss Charlotte B. Beard sley. The pieces were nicely staged and effectively given. Something of rare interest were the dozen or more song delineations, rendered by the Misses Mamie Wolfe and Ethel Abramson, accompanied very artistic ally on the piano by Miss Abramson, sister of one of the singers, the latter summering in Monroe from their home in New York. All were quite young but very proficient and exceedingly versatile, their repertoire being large one. They were seen in a pleasing change of costume, and aside from singing were graceful dancers as we'll All their songs made hit, especially the Floradora sextet, 'Tell Me Pretty Maiden," "Hello, Central, Give me Heaven," "In the Mansions of Aching Hearts, and the ''Cake Walk. Miss Abramson was also heard in piano so los, and Miss Mamie Wolfe prettily re cited "Fairy Bells" Town Clerl Stiles Clarke, as master of ceremonie! and announcer, was as usual felicitous Both players aud singers received flor al offerings.

ENERGETIC FARMERS.


 J. H. Wheeler is at the present time very busy man, for beside the build ing of a silo which employs several men, he has d number more at work laying stone wall. This added to his regular farm work and vegetable mar. ket garden with the milk of from 15 to 20 COWS to carry away each day seems quite enough for one man to think of say nothing of all the poultry and farm bought of and marketed for other people.
 Mallette Sanford has added many rods of solid stone wall to his farm this summer and fall. New stone wall is something for which MT Sanford is noted and judging from the outlook at present he will soon be obliged to find some other outlet for his energy in farm improvements.

JOIN THE CROWD.

The New Northwest is increasing from
immigration, by 200, 900 people yearly.
This region offers field tor farmers,
stock raisers, miners, lumbermen, mil
lers, fruit growers, and all classes of
labor. The Cody Wyoming extension
into the Big Horn Region offers splen-
did opening for the live stock and wool
business and for farming by irrigation.
The industrial expansion that is now
the basis of wealth in the East, will be
re peated in the Northwest. Give some.
thought toward home in Nebraska or
Minnesota, the Dakotas, Montana, North
eastern Wyoming, Northern Idaho,
Washington, the Puget Sound and Col
umbia River region.

CLAREMORE CONVENTION
Wide Interest Being Taken In the
Single Statehood Meeting.

All of the railroads have re-
sponded to the request of the sim
gle statehood committee and have
granted reduced rates to the Clare
more convention.
From various points in Okla,
homa comes the assurance that
Oklahoma will send strong dele
cation to the convention repre-
senting all political parties.
1t is proposed that the conven-
tion provide for leasing Pullman
car to carry party of fifty dele
gates, twenty-five from each terri
tory, to Washington, in the inter
ests Of defeating the double state
hood bill and the Moon bill, and
the securing of single statehood
bill in lieu of the two. This ac-
tion is earnestly desired by the
business and farming interests
generally. The party, as now
planned will leave vinita for
Washington on December 9Th, ar
irving at the capital on the 9Th.
II is to remain until the 18th, re-
turning to Vinita on the 18th. In
this party will no doubt be repre-
sentative men from both territor-
les, and their united action will
unquestionably have some effect
upon congress at time when the
statehood bills are under consid-
Grafton. The Claremore conven-
tion promises to be an epoch
maker. Every county in Okla
boma is expected to send a delega-
ton.
