The Medicine Lodge papers are
exaggerating the postoffice matter
at Sharon AS far as we can find
out there is no scrap" or fight on
as they put it. Both Mr.. Goff and
Mr.. Ward have in petitions and
would like to have the job but as
far as we can find out no hard feel
ing exists and the people generally
will be satisfied with either Mr.
Goff or Mr.. Ward as postmaster.
The game of basket ball between
Sharon and Attica High Schools at
the opera house in Sharon last Fri
day night brought out a crowd OF
nearly 800 people and although botl
the boys and girls game was won
by Attica, the Sharon people went
| home satisfied that there was bet
ter day coming. When we consider
that but one of the players in eithe1
of the Sharon teams had ever play
ed in a game of basket ball before
| this season, we are not surprised
/ that Attica should win. In the
game between the boys which result
ed 13 to in Attica's favor, the
Attica team earned every score the!
got. 1t was a battle royal iron
start to finish-something doing al
the time-and when the return
game comes it is our opinion Attlcs
will have to strengthen her team o.
it will be a "horse and horse"
J. D. Spangler left Friday II
charge of 81 head of his registered
Poland-China hogs which he sol
to the Fort Worth Stock Yards Con
pany. These hogs are to be shippe'
to numerous places in Texas am
Louisiana for exhibition and sale
1t is a move by the Fort 'Aortl
Stock Yards Company toward bette
hogs in the south. Jake Spangle
entered the fine hog business
large type Poland Chinas-abou
five years ago and has made won
derful success of it. Large crowd
attend his semi-annual sales an
from all over the country, and thi
sale to the Fort Worth people whic
! was made at a big price. is anothe
feather in his cap. Jake believe
there is money in good hog
and you don't have to listen to hill
long to be convinced. He believe
there is more profit in shipping
crates by express than there is j
shipping by freight in carloads.
