A card from Charlie Cole states that
he has a nice position with Bray's
drug store at Clinton, and that it is a
fine little city. Clinton is a street car
town on the Washita River in Custer
county, and has several thousand popu-

branches of the Rock Island R. R.
Mrs. Davenport is receiving a visit
this week from her mother, Mrs. Bar-
ton, and her sister, Mrs. Smith, both
of Arkansas City.
It looked like old times again last
week to see John Robison, E. C. Shoe-
maker and J. W. Shryer, circulating
among our citizens.
A letter from Evert Anderson says
he has moved from National City, Cal.
to San Diego.
J. W. Shryer was over from Edmond
last week visiting old friends. J. W.,
is the same old fellow, and we believe
he is a prospective Cashion resident.
