Sla ana. Lake City Happenings

Quack! Quack!!
Bill Balser and wife returned
last week from six weeks visit
in Indiana.
Hiram Oldfather of Attica was
here last Thursday looking for
good ranch.
]. w. Young was in Coats last
Tuesday buying implements for
spring work.
Fred Lake and wife visited with
Richard HAMMER and family south
of Goats Sunday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dorr of Cherokee
are visiting with their son and
family at Lake.
A series of meetings which were
to have begun at Sun last Sunday
were indefinitely postponed on ac-
count of sickness.
Milt Clements and wife and Mrs.
Fred Clements of Goats attended
Mrs. Holly's funeral last Thursday.
Frrnk Lockert's new auto was their
conveyance.
Howard Shore and Billie Rauhut
dropped in at the drug store last
Tuesday, blew themselves for two
false faces and made straightway
for a "shindig" on Elm Creek.
Boone Redwine returned from
Mule creek Saturday where he has
been building residence. His
whiskers had grown so long that it
was hard to tell whether he was
"the old boy or Santa Claus.
Homer Hastings left last Satur.
day for Alva and from there he
will go to California to visit some
of his we'll to do kindred. Should
he strike a location that suits he
will probably remain at the latter
place. He leaves 81 to guarantee
continuance of the Index. Let
others do likewise.
When Riley Lake gets the job
compile tie that is now in progress
on his dwelling he will sure have a
swell house. The location not on.
ly overlooks the city but almost
western Barber county as we'll. A
more desirable spot for nice home
can rarely be found.
Roy Smith, lad of Is summers,
more or less, is building quite a
reputation as a bandmaster and
musician. Besides having the Gull
lison band in charge he is also
leader of his home band at Coats.
Roy has never studied under any
good musician but his excellent
talent and continuous practice has
given him considerable Roadway
in music.
A great deal of sickness has been
in this part of the county for the
past few weeks attributed to the
changeable weather. The Lake
City DR.. has been given a chance
to prove himself and has done so
very creditably. The community
is to be congratulated on having
such an able physician in her midst
as DR.. Connor.
The worst hill that people of
this end of the county have had to
deal with was just east of Lake.
To pull anything like a load up
this almost perpendicular height
was nearly impossible but the
fill which is now being made at
the base of the hill will lessen the
incline 80 per cent and will be
worth far more than the cost.
Walter Saunders left here few
days ago to meet his intended" at
a designated point between here
and Missouri but it seems the other
party was unable to meet at the
appointed time and place because
of the roads being snow bound.
The wires have been kept busy but
we have not yet learned whether
Walter captured the prize or not.
1t was said that Miss Able was CO.
ing to give her folks the slip"
We unintentionally failed to
mention last week the marriage of
Miss Leo Adams to Jack Hickman
which occurred at Guthrie several
days ago. Leo's father was very
much opposed to this movement,
but there's no use to bawl over
spilled milk-they will marry, so
cheer up Mr.. A. Mr.. Hickman has
been living in Sun City the past
two or three years and is a young
man of plenty of intelligence and
one not afraid of work. Congratu-
lations and best wishes are extend.
ed to this worthy couple.
