her old home in Canada. This is her
first visit since locating in Kansas
about thirty years ago.
]. c. B. Hargis has moved the old
Farmers State Bank building over to
the other side of the street, and is
lifting it up for a barber shop.
j. o. Webb and family we're over
from the ranch the latter part of
last week to see how we are getting
along without rain He is interested.
We made trip to the Lodge
Friday and found that the dry
weather was not all confined to this
locality, but had reached at least "A
miles to the north and west.
Even if it doesn't rain for a long
time, that change in the weather
last Tuesday night was awfully
good, for We had gotten tired of
not and dry weather both together.
S. S. Kincaid left Saturday for
L1pscomb, Texas, where he has a
law suit coming up this week over
cattle deal down there. We hope
he will come out on top.
We learned that J. NJ. Grouse our
next sheriff, was in Hazelton last
week while We were absent; also S.
P. Garrison's opponent was here
the same time, both making medi-
cine.
r. E. Collins was up from Gar
field county, Okla, last week look
ing after the Collins heirs real es-
tate interests in this locality, and he
reports this year as one of the
dryest seasons they have had in his
locality since he located there the
day of the opening.
We learned that C. B. Wainscott
was taken suddenly sick, and was
very bad off, but it is hoped he is
not dangerously sick. We also learn
ed Sunday that Mrs. viii Jackson,
living in Cedar township was taken
suddenly sick Saturday, and was
thought to be very serious In fact
it was reported that there were
small hopes for her Sunday morn
ing when we received our report.
When we were a little kid back
in Illinois, we knew of what they
termed a half way house where one
could stop on his way to town and
get his strength renewed to enable
him to make it to town, but we are
unable to know what to call the one
we have recently heard of for it is
not on the half way line, but closer
to one town than the other; guess
! it is just an irrigation station where
the weary can find rest and renew
their strength.
At last some one who expects to
profit by John Betty's hard work
has coaxed that young man,Ed Bon
ner, to sue Mr. Betty for damages
over the supposed accidental shoot
ing of Bonner by Mr.. Betty on July
5th. Of course no living person
knows for certain that Mr.. Betty
did this but the people of HaZelton
know to a certainty that he acted
the white man with Bonner and did
everything in his power to make
right what was thought to be his
action.
1t looks to us like the Insurgent
Republicans are trying to rub it in
on the stand patters when they
shipped in Bristow to make an in
surgent speech in ex-senator Longs
home county; now with all of Sen
ator Longs political faults as claim
ed by the insurgents, we must admi
that he was an able man, and al
honor to Barber, and we thinl
that at least his home county ough
to be on the free list, to show ou
home pride if for no other reason
but if the Senator and his friend
can stand it we certainly can.
We have a kick coming agains
, Glover NJ. Martin. Glover says, s.
we have been informed, that tw,
years ago Sam Griffin had the mos
unpopular nam in Barber count
against him for Representative; lie
US be generous and admit this, bu
see what the figuers show: Griffin
party has a normal majority Q
about 275 in the county, and yet h
> pulled through with less than eight
: majority. while Glover was on tn
same ticket with Griffin and lacke
i about six hundred Of getting tn
8 normal majority. Now we are pei
fectly willing to admit our unpopu
2 larity with the people of Barber, ,bu
: we just can't trot in the same clas
with Glover, by close to six hundre
/ votes. His popularity runs in dif
ferent direction to mine.
