On last Thursday night we were
visited by the most severe electri-
cal storm that this section has
experienced in many years, during
the progress of which a valuable
horse, belonging to M. E. Goggin,
the proprietor of our hotel, was
struck by lightning and instantly
killed. The horse, together with
his mate, we're out in the field and
sought q tree for protection and
the lightning struck the tree,
killing but one, leaving the other
uninjured.
The long drouth has at last been
broken, much to the delight of the
farmers of this section, and while
too late to do much good to the
corn crop, pastures will be greatly
benefited.
Many telephones were burned
out on the mutual line during the
thunder storm of last Thursday
night and the service was de-
moralized to a considerable extent.
The Rev. Martin. of Oklahoma,
but formerly of this county,
preached an interesting sermon at
the Baptist church on Sunday
evening, and will continue the
meetings every evening while
interest continues to be manifest
ed. Since Mr.. Martin left this
section, he has lost his eyesight,
but not his interest in the work of
the Master, and while ostensibly
on a visit, cannot abstain from
doing missionary work as we'll.
George Parker shipped a car
load of hogs during the past week
and all the teams in the neighbour
hood were pressed into service
getting them to the road, which
again emphasizes the necessity of
a railroad to this place, and it is
indeed a crying necessity.

There are a lot of land seekers

cheap or too high. People ought

dollar.
Hunting is about all the go at
present. There. are some turkeys
and squirrels, but few deer here,
and no one has a license to hunt.
How is it that some are required to
have a license and others claim
they don't need a license?
There are six colored bucks here
