day to have his name enrolled on
our roll of honor for one year.
Mrs. Hawkins, mother of the late
Thos. H. Hawkins, who arrived last

her home in Charleston, Missouri.

The Democrat acknowledges a pleas
ant call from Mr.. Jackson while in
town.
Byrd Rogers of Guymon passed
through here Monday on his way to
McAllister, Oklahoma, where he will
represent the Masonic lodge of Guy
mon at grand lodge.
A. L. Kimball and family arrived
the last of the week from Pratt. Mr..

the News office. He was formerly
connected with the Pratt Union.

the week from Omaha, Nebraska,
where he has spent several weeks on
business. Mrs. Cooper and daughter

again make their home in Liberal.
G. J. Dixon made a business trip
to Plains Friday. Dixon drove the
Ford Goat" on the trip and lowered
all previous time records between the
two towns, making the trip in an
hour and nine minutes, distance of
"a miles and over the worst roads
that ever laid outdoors.
The Liberal News has purchased
late model linotype which was in
stalled the first of the week. 1t is
one of the best models put out by
the Merganthaler people and will be
decided improvement to the equip

L. E. johnson has resigned his po-
sition with the Citizens State bank
and from now on will devote his at
tention to the insurance, real estate
and other lines of business. He and
G. r. Taylor are in partnership and
their we'll known hustling abilities
are a guarantee that the firm will
prosper like the proverbial green bay
tree.
The delivery truck recently put
into service by the Star Grocery
company gives that institution quite
a cityfied appearance and is proving
decided advantage over the ole
horse and wagon system. Business
firms all over the country are adopt
: ing motor trucks for delivery anC
hauling purposes, and our guess il
that Liberal will have several more
within year.

Editor Frank Roddy of the Hooker
Advance slipped down to Geary, Ok
lahoma, last week, where he was
united in marriage to Miss Florence
Norbury, young lady of Hooker.
The Democrat extends the glad hand
of fellowship and welcomes Frank
into the ranks of the tribe of Bene-
dict, with the firm and steadfast
hope that he and his bride will derive
4 due share of the rights, lights and
benefits that go with married life.
W. L, Rucker, who has spent sew
eral months in Missouri and other
Central states, returned to Liberal
Friday. W. L, also spent six weeks
at Hot Springs and appears to have
been greatly benefited by the re-
juvenating qualities of those famous
waters. He has had good chance
to see quite little country since
leaving here last November, but
states Seward county is good enough
