Okolona messenger. (Okolona, Miss.) 1900-current, 1903-05-20

Congress has passed a bill to admit
Minnesota as a state.
See the advertisement OF lots for
sale. They are pleasantly situat-
ed, and ought to command a good
price.
The accomplished lady who pre-.
sented the Puplisher with a bou.
quet will please accept his thanks.
Il is beautiful.
That disuniOn meeting at Hous-
ton effected wonders. Some one
says Congress heard Of it and fear.
ing something would happen, ad.
mitted Kansas at once!
Miss Sallie Duzenburg, Lily
Dale, Mississippi: Wait till you
get the next Prairie News, and
you can see the address OF the
man advertising for a wife.
Ed. News.
Some persons frequently shoot
pistols in town. This is a viola.
ton of the city ordinance, and
ought to be stopped. Come
squire; make an example Of some
poor devil.
MI. John Fee will deliver a
lecture next Monday evening at
early candlelight, in the MethO-
dist church. The subject will be
Homeopathy and AllOpathy COM
pared. The ladies are specially
invited to attend.
Local news is very scarce in
deed. AS nobody has been drunk
or had a fight lately, we are almost
led to exclaim, with some valiant
lOurisher Of a sprig o. shilalah:
"Oh, this will never do; four
weeks in OkolOna and nary a fight
yeti" Somebody do get tight aud
kick up a muss.
Every editor in the state is 90.
ing crazy over a saucer Of straw
berries. We have eaten more OF
the delicious fruit this spring,
than any other individual within
two hundred miles, and never said
a word about it, either. Don't
talk about the articles, brothers,
you will make some folks enviOns.
Buitman, of Mississippi, Short
er and Stallworth, of Alabama and
Bonkam, Of South Carolina, were
the Southern members Of Congress
who hung fire on the Report OF
the Conference Committee. The
Alabama members however, whip
ped into the traces, and only
Quitman and Bonham, voted
against it.
CHICKAsAW RANGERS.
This company, which was form
ed in this place sometime ago, is
f%Ourishing, and bids fair to be-
ZONE quite an institution. The
clever captain Bill A. Shaw, the
whilOm ''eagle OratO" Of Missis-
sippi, he is going to have the best
company in the State, and this
may be relied upon. We ought
to, and must have something in
OkOlOna, to dispell the dullness
and quietude of the Prairie City.
We think the project ought to be
encouraged in a substantial man
ner.-Those who feel interested in
the prosperity Of the country are
requested to meet in OkOlOna next
Saturday.
