Prof. and Mrs. G. W. Moothart are
spending this week in Pennington, ar
ranging their business affairs, packing
and storing household goods, prepara-
tory to leaving for Miami, Okla, in
the near future. Prof. Moothart in
forms us that he will retain his res
idence here at least until the expira-
ton of his present term as Represen-
tative, as it now seems likely that
Governor Gardner will call an extra
session of the Legislature in the
spring, and he does not want to put
the county to the expense of spe-
cial election to fill that office. Later
they may become residents of Mi
ami, assuming thar the Business Col
lcge, which he will open soon there,
proves to be a success.
