day than we ever saw before.
c. B. Wainscott is reported as
being considerably better, and it is
hoped all soon be well again.
T. R. Maltibie was over from An
thony one day last week, and re-
ports it bit dry over there as we'll
as here.
At last. reports Kiowa was still
voting for J. N. Herr, and you can
bet on the man that runs well at
home as being all right
At last report Miss Jessie Dicks
was apparently we'll on the the way
to complete recovery, and we hope
the report is correct one
Z. B. Fullerton was dragging in
a span of $40O mules Saturday, but
F.B.just can't let a good span pass
him and not try to get them.
We guess Mr.. Griffin knows now
about how we felt two years ago.
Here's hoping Sam it won't hurt you
any worse than it did US; we never
| missed meal over it.
Police Judge Hyatt says that any
little scrap that isn't worth a five
dollar fine is hardly worth fooling
with, hence he never gets under the
five dollar mark in his court.
We extend to our Republican
brethren our sincere thanks for fav-
h&
to have the privilege of extending
our thanks on many other occasions.
; Thank the good Lord the Demo
cratic party can't be blamed for our
present record-beater drouth, but we
hope there will be change for the
better in the weather soon.
We don't believe there is another
Democrat in Barber county that
could have made as close a race
against Sheriff Mathews as j. M.
Grouse made under like circum-
stances.
A short time ago we bet lot of
65-cent corn against a bunch of nice
shoats that we could make money
out OF them, and we are dragging
them off at the rate of about $500
per day. Guess we will lose.
Twenty-Five years is a long time
20 be a candidate and not get elect
Ell, but some men just can't help 1t,
it becomes a disease with them. But
it can generally be cured on elec-
tioa day. Glover, however, has it
beyond any hope of a cure.
If ]. N. Herr, Seward 1. Field, ,Al-
len Smith and S. P. Garrison are
not satisfied with their majorities al
they have to do is let us know The
Democrats want them satisfied. Sc
I don't be backward boys, we are vii
ling to do still better if required.
Eli Buckles is getting pretty old
but not too old to make 800 mile
trip to get home to cast a Demo
cratic vote, last Tuesday. That is
the kind of patriotism that makes
| this good old country a good place
to live i'll.
B. L. Drake and G. C. Horton re
turned home from their visit to
Kentucky and Tennessee. They got
here in timS to vote right, and help
Hazelton down that Republican ma
jority of former years. Mr.. Drake
says that he saw a great deal >~o1
mighty poor country, and lot of 1t
so poor that the farmers had abso-
ilutely to abandon it, and the farms
are now laying out growing up in
brush and. briars, with a good sup
ply of rocks on the surface. We
wonder why those people don't come
west and try country that hasn't
any of those black spots to discour-
| age the farmer But then they sim
ply can't leave the old grazing
grounds.
4 During the protracted meetings a
number OF boys made disturbance
by talking and laughing during the
services and it seems that one OF the
bows carried his disagreeable conduct
: so far the other day that Rev. Won
schriltz took hold of him and gave
him a little shaking. Complaint wa
made before the Police Judge, and
the Rev.was arrested and paid fin
; of five dollars and costs. From
what we have heard, and our infor'
Imation has not been obtained from
Ichurch members either, there are
few young men attending the meet
Eings that need to- be taught a les
son that will have much to do to
wards making men of them during
1.-the rest of: their lives, and we don''
think the boys are getting their JUS
| dues when they are allowed to con
: duct themselves as is reported the!
; do. There often comes a time IN th'
: lives of young men when nothing
will do them as much good as to bt
shown in an impressive way tina
