So long as man is man he will be
subject to mistakes; not until he
wears the wings up yonder will he
be free from error
Doc Roark seems to have hard
luck getting his wheat threshed.
They have been pounding away for
a week and are not done yet

al weeks, died. Mrs. Redwine is

A pair of twins, a boy and a girl,
were born to Sam Helton and wife

were laid away in the Sun City Gem
etery.
Bert Kennedy and family, Mrs.
Massey and family, Van Lott, Ira

Miss Lena Shigley and Bernice Lott
| all enjoyed a most delightful time
| at the Rockefeller ranch last Sun
day.
A party was given at the home of
| Bert Kennedy and wife last Mon
day evening, complimentary to Mrs.
Florence Foggleman who has been

The Robert Burgin sale last We'd
nesday was attended from all quar-
ters. Horses, milch cows, hogs and
farming implements were sold to the
amount of $4,000. Mr.. Burgin came
to the place where he now lives
some 25 or 80 years ago and by his
sticktoitiveness and good manage
ment has acquired considerable
| wealth. He will remove with his
family to Wichita about Oct. 1st,
where his two younger children will
| attend school. A better neighbor
| and more substantial citizen cannot
be found in Barber county than
Robert Burgin and his removal
from this part will be regretted.
In a little item of two weeks ago
we made a mistake by saying that
Harry Miller succeeded Tonk Mills
as school director. This was indeed
mistake, and one so small and i'm
| iol hof n

and apologized for having made the
error, but he gruffly turned US down
and in last weeks paper appeared a
mess of stuff over his signature
which was extremely rough on the

whether he has acted ANY PART OF
a Gentleman or not. AS to the"sim
pie" and ignorant" accusation, will
say that we are not over-stocked
| with wisdom,we make no pretension
to be wise. It's an evident fact thai
we all can't have the mental capac-
ity for holding the constable's office
or a position on country school
board like Mr.. Mills-this requires
great mind. But say-what If Harry
Miller DID succeed Tonk Mills as d1
rector of the school board, or what
if he DIDN'T? What is there about
the little mis-written item to cause
a man to get tin on his ear and
shucks up his nostrils, what does ii
amount to? We leave it to the
readers as to who is the ignorant
in this case. We are very sorry
that our social rank is so inferior te
