Mrs. Elizabeth M. Sharpe, 1884
Wabash Ave-, Kansas City, Mo.
Il have a dollar bill, and | do not
know of anything that it would
buy that would give me more
pleasure than to invest it in an
other years subscription to the
FULTON COUNTY NEWS. 1t comes
to me every week like a letter
from the old home; it tells me of
those who have passed on from
this life-of those who are found
ing homes for themselves, Of the
improvements and changes in
property; of the accidents, etc.
After | read it, | fold it up and
mail it to other Fulton County
people who are living in Texas.
There are many poor people in
this city-many out of work. |
see by the NEWS that Fulton
county is going to have a real
railroad sometime. Don't de-
spair; if it do not come in your
time, it will in somebody else's." "
We notice by the letterhead
used in sending a dollar to re-
new his subscription, that our
friend D. w. Fraker, a native of
Fort Littleton, is now Register of
Deeds of Towner county, North
Dakota, with office at Cando.
Ralph H. May, Republic, O.:
Here's another dollar for anoth-
er years FULTON COUNTY NEWS.
There's a scramble in our house
when the NEWS come in to see
who shall read it first.
William Robinson, Garfield, o.:
We live in a town of 700 people,
and thank God it is a dry town
i have not seen a drunken man
on the streets since | have been
here, which is a little more than
two years. | wish all the towns
in the Union could say as much.
William W. Hoover, Chicago:
THE News is always a welcome
visitor, and | take great pleasure
in reading the various articles
about the people back in good
old Fulton. But what about the
Hustontown CORE S pondent?"
We are glad to say that Billy is
making good in the practice of
law in the Windy City, and he
feels that he has not made any
mistake in locating there.
Mrs. Geo. w. Cooper, Okla
homa City: Under date of April
18th, Mrs. Cooper says that she
and Mr.. Cooper are both well.
Our onions and radishes" she
says, will be ready for the table
next week, Notwithstanding that
this has been a backward spring,
but plenty of rain, and indica-
ton for a splendid crop of fruit
and grain. This is surely Gods
country. We have now spent
twelve years in the Southwest,
and expect to make this our home
during the balance of our days.
Of course, we both, have fond
memories of the old home and
home people, and expect to make
occasional visits to them; but
Oklahoma City is good enough
for me; when it comes to choos-
ing a permanent home. Electric
lights, beautiful parks, magni-
ficent buildings, well-paved
streets, and the hustle and bus
tie incident to a wide-awake
southwestern city, has a fascina-
ton that is not easily dispelled.

DICTATES OF FASHION

Dance frocks are made Of chiffon
and are glittering with paillettes.
Sand-colored corduroy is seen in
women's practical winter coats.
The tunic is now cut in points or
scallops. These are edged with large
beads. Colored beads, jet and pearl
beads are used.
Printed tatfeta is favorite material
for tea jackets, and some of the de-
signs and color schemes are as poetic
as they are effective.
II the skirt does not fare enough
use a reed or thick wire to get the
right line. This Is done in many Of
the high priced models and can be
copied by you.
Fawn and straw-brown silk Innings
are used for the immensely popular
covert coating suits. and for the
equally well-liked marine blue ones
there are Innings to match. Shot
silk is much used again for the Dur
pose
Many Of the newest blouses have
high necks. That Is to say, they are
bustoned right up to the throat in
the oid-fashioned manner. The decol-
