Probate Judge Garrison united

Probate Judge Garrison united
IN marriage James NJ. McPheeters
and Mabel kitterman, both of Isa-
bel, last Wednesday, September 1st,
at his Office in this city. We are
informed that the ceremony was
witnessed by matrimonial eli
| glble OF this city who made notes of
| the questions asked and answered
and that he has been rehearsing to
himself nightly. Be that as it may,
we wish this happy young couple
a life of longevity and happiness.
The first public drinking place
in this city TO enforce DR.. Crum-
bines drinking cup order was at
the court house. Each county Off
Ger has provided himself with a
small paraffine cup and the old tin
cup that has quenched the thirst
OF so many of the common herd has
been consigned to the rubbish heap.
Whether the county officers will
loan their cups to friends who hap
pen along and are a:hirst, we know
not; but if they o,mum's S the word.
Better not tell Gar Crumbine.
]. M. Smith who has been Santa
Fe agent here since the death of
Kenneth Mcpherson, departed last
Thursday for Wakita, Ok, to do
relief work there short time after
which he expects to take lay off.
Mr.. Smith leaves Medicine Lodge
with the friendship of everybody
who had business at the depot. 1t
was a pleasure to him to serve the
people and he always did it cheer
fully. He has frequently done
this office small favors which the
company did not require of him
and which caused him extra labor
ard we are under lasting obliga-
tions to him. And what is true in
our case is true in the case of every
person who shipped or received
goods OR stock at this point, and
he will be remembered kindly.
The Kiowa Journal is too sensi
tive. There was nothing sectional
in the Index's news item concern
ing the Kiowa bootleggers-no
more than the claw. hammer fight
which took place in this city.
The Index is newspaper which
publishes all the news regardless
of sections of the county affected
and while it creates iealousies
among certain other publications.
| this po.iGy viii continue. Dut ii
the Journal is really desirous Of
making a sectional issue out of it,
we might merely suggest that the
"disgraceful fight" recently enacted
here might have been averted if a
certain Kiowa citizen had not
moved to this town. However,
he probably acted in self defense,
and no doubt is good man.
A. L. Herr and little son, Master
Arlington, of Chickasha, Okla.
homa, visited relatives here and al
Kiowa the later part of last week
and the fore part of this week
departing on Monday. Mr.. Herr
is practicing law in Chickasha. He
left Barber county in the spring ot
, 1903 and has built up a nice prac-
tice in the new country. He was
recently elected city attorney OF
Chickasha which pays an annual
stipend of $500, and this, in ad
dition to his other practice, keeps
him very busy. Chickasha has
grown to be a busy city of $1,000
inhabitants and has just begun
putting in a street car system
which, when completed, will give
/. it all modern municipal improve
ments. Cotton, corn and demo.
: Gratis thrive in that country anc
withal is nice place to live.
Another old timer passed
through the city last Friday, stop.
, ping few hours to look up ole
friends. The individual to whom
we have reference is Allen Adam:
who took claim at Sexton in the
, early Sos and fought drouths ane
poverty and Jews about five year:
and then gave up the country a.
N. G. Since that time he has beer

Hemisphere but when he is a
