a number Of motions were acted .
upon in the district court this morn
ing.
Shelton Tyer has been selected by
R. l.. Mcclure to aid him in complet-
ing his report of the affairs in the |
different offices of Carter county,
1t seems that we heard some
statement yeste\py to the effect
that the gas company had placed |
their compressor in thorough repair.
II such is true, why hasn't it been
put to work?
Judging from the number of WOOD
stoves which have been installed in |
this city during the first of this
week, people here have back to
the woods" movement well under
way.
The steps leading to the north
entrance of the Carter county court
house are still covered with a thick
coating of ice. On the west and
south sides where nature had free
hand and where the sun could get
an unobstructed whack at things the
ice is gone.
w. A. Pride received instructions
today to make and install sixteen
spillway pipes leading from the Santa
Fe oil tower in this city to the
sdetracks whereon the tank cars
will be loaded. Six of this number
are to be completed and in place by
Friday of this week.
County court was forced to take a
recess until afternoon today on ac-
count of the failure of number of
witnesses to appear. Judge Freeman
ordered fines of ten dollars imposed
in each case. Later he ordered all
fines RENTED in cases where the
witnesses showed good and sufficient
reasons for their non attendance at
the mornings session.
r. NJ. Conway and l.. Rosenbaum
were in the city last night. These
men are interested in the oil devel- |
cpment of Carter county and are
here for the purpose of acquiring
greater interests in the Carter county
.ield. They reside in Oklahoma City. |
r. e. Tucker, who formerly resided
in this city is here from Toyah,
Texas, where he and his mother have
taken up large land holding i'll
southwest Texas. They have their
ranch fenced and fairly well stocked
with cattle. Mr.. Tucker is manager
of a mercantile establishment in Toy
ah and is here en- route home from
Chicago where he went on his semi
annual purchasing trip.
j. y. Morgan left here yesterday
for Madill in the interest of the
Woodmen of the World. He says
Marshall county is preparing to ini-
tiate class of 100 Woodmen on the
18th of March and Carter county |
will take through class of the
same number on the 14th of March.
Mr. Morgan is district manager and(
has in his district Carter, Marshall,
Love, Murray, Johnston, and the east |
portions of Stephens and Jefferson
counties. He is planning to have
each county initiate a class of 100
during the spring months.
Everything comes to those who |
wait" is today exemplified in part
to the pedestrians on A and B streets
northwest. The railroad people have
crew at work putting down cross
ings, so the children can get to
school: The picturesque lake in tho
vicinity of B street will either be
drained off, or stocked with mud
catfish" time will tell. If the city
will do a little work at those two
crossings now, a long suffering pub
lie will be truly thankful.
Felix X West left here Monday for
Muskogee to attend the agricultural
meeting which will be held in that
city Wednesday, The Muskogee meet
ing has attracted widespread atten-
