W. 7. Henson went over to Anthony
one day last week to settle law suit
out Of court, which is onc of the best
ways to dispose of such thing.
Tom Blake and q. F.Goodan are now
away getting rid of their lot of Mex
ican horses. The last heard of them
they were meeting with good success.
It didn't look much like the S0th day
Of May last Saturday when farmers
were coming to town with over-coats
on, and still less Sunday morning.
The Sunday school at Kings school.
house has decided to have Picnic on
the 9Th of June, and have invited all
the neighboring schools to take part
with them.
Ford Burnett has been taking a lay
off and getting look at the country
the. past few days. Ford has been very
faithful to his business and has justly
earned little rest.
G.. r. FOllett, of Newton, Kans, and
one of the first men to engage in bus
lness IN HaZelton, was a Hazelton
visitor one day last week. 1t looked
like old times to see George standing
out in front Of his old business stand.
Lee Goodan left last week to make
his future home and tortUne in Colo
rado. He will for the present locate at
Lamar. and will perhaps remain there
until he gets sick of his change and
returns to Barber. which according to
the established rule Will be in about
six OF eight months.
We are pleased at the record made by
the Hazelton school the past term
Out Of twenty graduates In the county
HaZelton gets four, and out of the four.
one gets second and another third
prize. This is another strong proof
that HaZelton is not going to take
back seat at any time, or for anything
that Is calculated to advance the in
terest of the community.
The hail storm that struck HaZelton
last week did quite bit of damage to
growing crops and knocked out all of
the glass on the south side of the build
ings in town. and few out in the
country. Spencer Davis lost 80 acres
or very fine wheat, j. r. Garner over
100 acres of wheat and several acres of
oats, and several others were damaged
from third to half their crops, as it
now looks.
The public Installation and ice cream
social given by the ladies of the Eas-
tern Star last Monday night, was one of
the grandest and most satisfactory en-
tertainmentsever given at Hazelton,
but we fear trouble will result from it.
Last winter the Masons gave a very
satisfactory Public Installation OF
officers, and supper. and then they
stole march on the ladies and furnish.
ed the ice cream for them, and after
beating the Masons clean out of sight,
what should they do but actually brag
about it and that right to our faces, and
we ara going to have revenge. Mark
what tell you, it can't remain this
way.
Mrs. Lena Carr and Miss jessie
Bowers, daughters of Mrs. Bowers, and
Granville Bowers deceased, were here
Saturday signing up the final papers
to enable them to receive their life
insurance money left them at the de.
cease Of their father. They returned
to Rose Hill Sunday, and Mrs. Bowers
returned with them. Itisvery crafty
ing to a great many Of our people TO
know that Mrs. Bowers has about de-
cided 20 make this her permanent
home. She already has honee leased
for some time yet, and Will perhaps
return here in few days. No family
has ever come among us who have made
as many friends in SO short q time as
have this family and We find that where
they formerly resided they were con-
sidered as among the very best Of
citizens. These are the kind OF people
that help makea country good place
to live in. No county in the state can
produce q larger proportion Of good
people than Barber, but there Is still
room for more.
