The Passing of "Old Prince"

"Old Prince the faithful old
steed that carried Mrs. Nation on her
first crusade of joint smashing, is
dead. The old nag was owned in
his latter days by Col. Thomas Kidd
of this city, and he departed this
life and 0ok flight to horse heaven
in the late hours of Sunday night,
August 21, A. D. 1910. He was past
% years of age and owes his de-
mise to an overloaded stomach. He
did not heed the admonition Of his
former and famous guardian and
took on" too much. But his in
temperance was not the common
kind. Prince was a moral horse but
on this occasion he consumed too
much alfalfa
During the past year of his life
this far-famed horse was practically
on the retired list. He did little SER
vice and what little he did was in
the nature of very short trips. The
passing of "Old Prince deserves
to have place in history, for next
to her God, Carrie worshipped her
noble steed most. It is related that
Carrie and Prince had language
of their own; they understood each
other and conVersed often. We have
often heard Carrie say that when
she started on that memorable ride
to Kiowa in obedience to command
from her Lord and Master, "Old
Prince was next" and he was in
full sympathy with her. He made
that trip with a vim of a three-year
old and when the Kiowa saloons
were demolished he gave vent to his
joy and enthusiasm in a neigh that
startled all Kiowa.
Prince was buried with honors
on Monday morning and Col. Kidd
speaks of him with dignified rever
ence.

Union Meeting

The popularity of the Sunday
meetings in the park are attested by
the public by the way they attend
them and the attention given during
the service
On last Sunday evening the sing
ers marched to the front and found
places on the large platform that
had been arranged for them and
with the aid of the organ and cor
net, led the splendid music of the
evening in which the congregation

A selected male quartette sang a
beautiful selection, which was spe-

Barber County at State Fair

]. M. Miller of Kiowa will repre-
sent Barber county at the State Fair
at Topeka, September 10 to II. He
has secured booth and nothing
will be displayed in it but Barber
county products and photographs
To make this display a success he
asks the cooperation of the people
of Barber county, particularly the
farmers. He wants to display every
farm and garden product grown in
Barber county, featuring the display
with threshed grain in half-bushel
quantities, corn in 10-ear lots and
broom corn in punches of stalks
Mr.. Miller will be glad to receive
these porducts any time between
this date and September 9Th. He
will pack the entire display on Sep
tember 7th, and therefore can not
use any products after that date.
Those who can not conveniently
take their exhibits to Kiowa are in
vited to leave them at the Index Of
flee. Mr.. Miller will be here to
gather up all products donated for
the display the day before shipping.
We trust that the farmers of Bar
ber county will not be indifferent in
this important matter. 1t is a splen-
did opportunity to advertise the
county and is certain to bring re-
turns to the Individual exhibitors.

More "Bootleggers'' From Kiowa

Deputy Sheriff Gesner unloaded
two more Kiowa citizens at the
county boarding house on Thursday
evening of last week. They are Roy
Brannan and c. H. Cousey and the
breach of the law for which they
are paying the penalty is the very
common infraction known as "boot-
Logging" Both were convicted in
Justice Buchanan's court in Kiowa
and sentenced to 80 days imprison-
ment and 800 fine and costs,
amounting to about $69 in both
cases. AS both Of the prisoners are
bankrupt, it is not likely that they
will be released when they have
served their time out unless. the
county commissioners release them
Kiowa has a delegation of five in
the county Jail now-all of whom
might be classed as undesirable
citizens.

Some of our readers got the wrong

Some of our readers got the wrong
idea last week when they read what
our Sharon correspondent had to
say concerning the "scrap8at the
picture show in that city. They for
got to look at the heading and
straightway concluded that the item
referred to the electric theater in
this city. We understand that a
member of the council is still
handing the cigars out to Manager
Jones on account of the erroneous
conclusion. The electric theater in
this city has been very fortunate
thus far in the way of order.

Notice to Pupils

Pupils of the different grades
who failed of promotion at the close
Of school last May should present
themselves for examination to the
superintendent in his office either
Thursday or Friday Sept. 1st or End
otherwise such pupils will be expect
ed to remain in the same grade they
were in last year.
High School pupils who failed in
two subjects must secure their cred
Its in those branches before they
will be allowed to go on with their
classes. Pupils who failed in only
one subject may go on with their
classes provided such subject is
made up the first or second quarter.
Irregular pupils or those taking
the strictly vocational subjects such
as bookkeeping, typewriting, etc.
will be expected to take at least
three subjects and to conform to
the regulations the same as other pu-
pills.
The outlook at present, for an
overflowing attendance is somewhat
alarming and good seats in the
High School will surely be at a
premium.
