Big Stock Of Dry Goods
J. (jr. McCu ■ returned the lat-
tar part of last week from
Springfield where he made a
purchase of the largest line of
dry goods ever brought to Dav
enport. The goods arrived Mon-
day and have now been unpack
ed and placed on display at the
McCue store. It will be a great
source of satisfaction to Daven
port people to be able to pur-
chase everything they want in
this line right at home and it is
a certainty that it can be done
now.
Mr. McCue is putting on a
special sale of certain articles
for Saturday and is especially
inviting the ladies r>f the c> m
, munity to inspect the new goods
If Davenport prospective pur
chasers of dry goods will be
careful to inspect these goods
before going to other towns, they
will purchase very little dry
goods outside of Davenport

Dr, Baird To Leave
Dr. W. D. Baird and family
will start Monday for Altus,
Oklahoma to make their home
there. Dr. Baird has been prac-
ticing medicine in Lincoln coun-
ty for a good many years and
in Davenport almost since its be-
gining. He has acquired an en-
viable reputation both as a pub-
lic spirited citizen and as a pro-
fessional man. He has proven
himself especially proficient and
successful as a surgeon. Why
he should leave the fine practice
he has built up in this vicinity
is not clear except that he has
property interests in Altus to
which he wishes to give his at
tention.
The people of Davenport and
vicinity can heartily recommend
him to Altus, a competent and
successful physician and an es
teemable gentlemen. He and
his wife both of whom have a
host of friends in this vicinity
will be greatly missed and will
be followed by the best wishes
