were visitors in Lake Thursday.

self with the Ranchmen's phone.
Fred Lake went to Richard
HAMMERS last Sunday and brought
home his better half.
Our new liverymen at Lake are
! up-to-date. New buggies good

A hard wind from the east all
day last Friday brought a soaking
rain the following night.
The fighting fever is about re.
duced to normal temperature but
neighbor John is still game.
Our man English went to Pratt

Something must have gone wrong.
Gene Bullock, after spending
several weeks in California and
Oregon trying to find a location,
has returned to Sun City to stay.
School opens at Sun City next
Monday with Prof. Fields as prin-
cipal and Missouri lady as assist
ant. Neither of them will have to
be shown, however.
Eben Douglass has a souvenir
match case which he is giving his
customers that is both useful and
ornamental. Call at his place of
business and it may be that he will
be good to thee.
Clarence Nichols who was re-
Gently employed at the Lake State
Bank is evidently giving the best
of satisfaction, Notwithstanding
the work is new to him. Success
to Clarence.
i'm Elsea was in Lake Saturday
afternoon and slipped away with
one Of Robt. English's shaves. He
will no doubt realize his great
wrong and return it in about a
week and swipe another.
The Sun City boys are talking
"band' loud and strong of late.
This is step in the right direc-
ton and every citizen who has an
interest in the community should
certainly encourage it. Save your
money and buy horn.
Remember that there will be a
pie social at the Lake school build
ing next Saturday night. The &C.
casion will be opened with good
entertainment, musical and speech
flying until you can't rest. Let
all the ladies be sociable and fetch
a pie.
The difference between Smith &
Sons and the Sun City school dis
trict still remains unsettled. Both
sides are seeking legal advice and
its quite probable some red headed
lawyer will get a good chunk of
finance before the deal is settled.
Pat Skinner, G. G. Shigley, Dave
Freemyer and A. J. Hargis made
an auto drive to Cherokee last
week to size up the alfalfa mill at
that place. They returned ragged
and dirty and nearly exhausted.
but very buoyant over the pros
poets for an alfalfa mill.
Rev. Summers and wife while
on their way from Deerhead last
Sunday switched off on the wrong
! pig path and became lost. After
some scheming and considerable
extra driving they reached Lake
City about 8 p. m. The Rev. soon
collected himself and delivered an
excellent sermon.
Neighbor A. ]. Hargis who has
lived in this community for many
years and piled up his thousands
has at last pulled up stakes for
Wichita where he and his wife and
son James will take life easy. The
community regrets to lose this
worthy family but it is believed
that few months will find them
back at Lake.
We have scanned the columns of
nearly all kinds of papers during
our life of two score years o. but
have seen nothing yet as county
paper that comes so nearly giving
all the news as The Barber County
Index. Editor Herr is onto his job,
not only in the way of furnishing
home news, but he is uptodate po-
litically, both at home and abroad.
