Sa itrday night when tliey left
it but Sundav morning when
they went to fill it with water
in preparation for the hapiisma
-ervices I hey found that, the
bottom of the galyanizi d tank
had been damaged to such an
extent that it, would not hold
water. It is believed that some
miscreant did it maliciously lint
it is to be hoped that there i-
some other expla lation for it.
One can scarcely nn uine a in >-
live that would prompt such n
act.

To Leave Davenport
Davenport people will regre!
tol arn that the Whittons are
planning to leave. Ed was one
of the "first settlers'' here and
has been attending to the ton
Sprial demands of the town al
most since its beginning. Before
he moved into his present place
of business, lie had his chairs in
what vvas known a« the Giles
huiitliiig on First street Here
he and his brother, Frank, bat-
tled «ii h the « hiskers of the 20
or 25 men then inhabiting the
town, spending the principal
put of their time, ho vev-T, on
the croquet, ground across the
street by Weltv's rest meant,
One lime Ed was missed from
his accustomed haunts for sev
era) days and as his brother
would give out no information
win- heads became suspicious.
'le was always popular and
when it, was learned, one niglr,
that he had slipped into town
wi h a bride, hi friends became
so enthusiastic that they called
out the bind, pulled up some
street lights'or torches, set the
groom straddle of an old white
mule at the end of a lariet rope
and paraded the town.
The bride proved as popular as
Ed had been. She taught sever
al terms in the school here and
with her husband has taken u
promiii< nt place in the social
life of the town.
Now tli y are moving to Chi I
licothe, Texas, to he near Mrs.
Whitton's parents. The Eta
hopes that they will alwaxs
cherish pleasant roci.llec.titnis of

An Explanation
t'leir vears spent here and that
the two little ones who now be
long to tl^ family way be in
8tructed in the fame and reuowt
of their bii th place.
We expected to get away not later tnan Dec; 1st and
here it is January 1911 and we are still ie>e and we feel
that we owe you an explanation.
Ia th3 first place, we haven't found a bjyer. In the
second place, we didn't want to try to find ^ne very bad,
and the third, though not the least reason, ve have decid-
ed to protect the people against the high pri s they would
have to pay if were to leave.
Be that as it may, we are still here and ve are going
to continue our policy of quick sales and sma} margins
If you have any doubts call in and get pr, ^
Shoes, overalls, wo;k shirts, sox, coileet sugar,
meat, lard, flour, beans, rice, potatoes, can etj goods,
drugs, drug sundries, notio is, etc.
If we decide to go into the patato business again o1*
any other similar enterprise we will let you kfyw {/ater- }i}
Hoping you will be able to protect you gainst the
ravages of high prices (in other towns) we are """"" " -

You Can't Beat It
You may tal<e the Editor's
word for it that if jou will spend
*9">.00 for tuition, board and
tiooks to complete a course of
Shorthand and Typewriting, or
♦ll'1 to complete the Boo-Keep-
ing and Business Training course
or $175 and complete both of
these courses combined in the
Capit 1 Citv Business College ol
Guthrie, Okla.. _>ou will have
niiiiie the best investment of
your life. What young man or
woman is there in our commun-
ity who cannot raise $95 with
which lo secure a practical busi
ness training th^it will enable
tlieni to earn a splendid living
the rest of iheir days? We are
reliably informed that young
people who a few years ago bor
rowed the mouey to attend this
school are worth more today
than tne men from whom they
borrowed ihe money. You had
as well iry to be a successful
physician without, attending a
medical school as well try to
be successful in business without,
first gett.ng a practical business
i raining, and it certainly is an
evident fact that the Capital
City Business College gives a
practical training for business
II.e or hey would not have such
a large enrollment, and today not
have a single graduate of book-
keeping and shorthand out of
employijii.jHt unless of their own
accord.
A catalogue giving full parti
culars of this most successful
school of Bookkeeping-Business
Framing, Sh rthaud, and Type-
writing, can be had for tli3 ask
ing. Young Friend, don't delay;
take the Editor's advice and
make your arrangements to en
ter as soon as possible. There
are plenty of business firms that
will be ready and willing to pay
you a good price for your servic
es \\ hen you aie properly train-
d, but tin y wouldn't give you
standing room in their office as
you are today.
Don't, forget to step around
and see F. B Feltner & Co be-
fore purchasing feed, flour, pro-
duce, family groceries and tresh
meats.
