Saturday and nearly all of the oats
have been harvested.
| w. L. Gamble has been in Okla
homa the better part of the past
week visiting with friends about
Cherokee where he formerly resid-
ed.
Hazelton and Kiowa have been
practicing for the big ball game on
the 4th and so far it seems that
Hazelton is laying it over Kiowa
pretty badly.
Oliver H. Rhodenbaugh was the
second member to get action on the
TWENTY-FIVE Club funds, but he,
like Dan Edwards, was only laid
up for one week.
The second cutting of alfalfa is
showing up a fine hay crop and the
past week has been excellent for
handling it, no rain and but little
wind to interfere with the work.
Moore and Miller were the first
of the Hazelton threshermep to get
steamed up. They started out last
! Thursday but did not have a full
force of men on account of the har-
vest not being all done.
Judge c. S. Gleason of the Lodge
was in the city one day last week.
He went from here to Alva on bus
mess. The Judge is we'll pleased
with the returns he has been re-
ceiving from his Hazelton farm the
past two years.
Just as we predicted last week,
Mike Cavanaugh wasn't satisfied
with the decision of Umpire East
man and had the Goodan boys ar
rested and bound over to the dis.
trict court on charge of assault.
Mike wants different umpire next
game.
We are wondering just how the
threshermen are going to get over
some of the roads in their present
condition and even if they do how
the farmers are going to haul a
good load Of wheat to the elevator.
Some places where the bridges are
out one can't even get by on horse
back to say nothing of a loaded
wagon.
In our youthful days one of the
lessons we were taught and one
that we still think a good one, was
to never try to answer fool, have
nothing to do with a knave and not
to argue with a liar. This advice
we have always adhered to so far
as We were able to determine the
character of the man. So if any
one should wonder at our silence at
times just remember it is the result
of our early training.
James Reed. a former resident of
this locality but for the past few
years resident of Oklahoma, died
at the residence of his son, M. G.,
at Byron Wednesday evening and
was laid to rest in Rose Hill GENE
terry Thursday. The Masonic or
der of Byron, Ok, of which he had
long been a member had charge of
the burial, assisted by the Hazelton
members. We had known the de-
ceased for several years and know
from personal knowledge and in
innate acquaintance with him that
he was an excellent citizen, an
honest man and one who would do
T no person wrong if he knew it..
Such men as he was are the ones
who are missed in a community.
His relatives and immediate friends
: have the sympathy of the Hazelton
people in their loss.
AS an evidence that the Hazel
! ton people will have little loose
change for the 4th we will just
state that according to the latest
statements of the two banks the
combined individual deposits are
$83,244.97, divided as follows:
. The State Bank has on hands, OF
! the deposits are $54,o16.3o; the
Z Farmers State Bank has $23,328.-
l So; and to show that they are &C.
commodating they have granted
; overdrafts in the sum of $1,35o.32
divided as follows: The State
Bank Of Hazelton $125.26, The
Farmers State Bank $1,234.o6.
: There are very few banks in as
small town as this that can make
a better, if as good a showing as
the Hazelton banks.
When we were a little fellow
T, away back in Illinois one of our
= near neighbors used to have short.
: tailed fiste that took great pleasure
= in barking at everyone who passed
the place and we were for a long
time afraid of him but finally
