No Spring Election
It seems that Davenport is to
be deprived of the excitement of
the visual spring municipal el-
ection this year. Senate Bill No.
193 passed by the last legislature
cuts the board of trustees down
to one member I rom each ward.
The law, however did not go in-
to effect until after the officers
elected last spring had taken
their seats and the lawyers held
that both these four trustees and
the four elected in April 1910,
for two years, were entitled to
hold office.
On the First of next May, the
term of the officers elected in
1910, expires, leaving the busi-
ness of the town in the hands of
the four elected in 1911 to serve
two years.
The officers at large, marshal,
treasurer, justice of the peace
and clerk were also elected last
spring to serve two years and,
ac or ding to this construction < f
the law, would hold over The
trustees whose terms expire
May 1, aie, N. P. Myers, A. E.
Haug, D. VV. Quackenbush and
W. T. Irvin, leaving on the
board, E. Dye, A. J. Lang r, J.

Kendrick Items
By Mrs, Chas. Johnson
Kerdrick people were aroused from
slumber early Tuesday morning by a
terrible noise and whistles blowing.
On investigating they fou"J a freight
train had been wrecked just below the
section house. Eight cars were upset
containing brick, oats, corn, sugar and
an emmigrant car with several horses
in it. The man who owned the things
was in there sleeping. It killed one
horse and crippled one real bad and
bruised several. At first report, the
man was almost killed but later he was
in much better condition. This is the
second wreck since starting from West-
ern Kansas to Arkansas. He thinks he
was hurt worse in the first wreck than
in the last. He is at the hotel being
cared for till fie family arrives.
Mr. Jenkins and wife are running a
first class hotel was how call and have
a nice clean meal when in town.
Ezma Johnson received a good letter
from Verna Olliver in Mo. They are
greatly missed by their friends here.
Mrs. Neal is staying with Mrs. Moore
now. Mrs. Moore is gaining quite
rapidly.
Mrs. Johnson has been confined to
the house for a few days with pleurisy.
Meeting at the M. E church Sunday
morning.
Sunday school at the Christian church
every Sunday at 10:00 a. m. everyone
cordially invited.
Mrs. Johnsons mother, brother and
family got through to California and
found things very beautiful as the
orange and lemon trees were loaded
with bloom. Brother Walter thinks
orange blossoms the sweetest flower he
ever saw.
When I hear people eomplaining I
always think of a verse I committed to
memory one time and it has helped me
so I will write it for the benfit of others
and believe it would do us all good to
practice it.
"Look on the bright side every time.
Don't waste your days repining.
When any cloud looks dark and dull,
Turn out the silver lining.
Be wise. Be cheerful, bright and glad,
Leave to the fool his folly.
And let your motto be, cheer up,
Your rule of life. Be jolly."

Republican "
The republican county converi-
tion at Chandler last Saturday
was a Sunday school compared
with the democratic convention
Everything was delightfully
barmonous. If there were more
than two or three Taft suppor-
ters there they failed to bring
themselves to the notice of the
meeting and Roosevelt may be
said to have received the unan-
imous endorsement of the con
vention.
The resolutions passed "point
ed with pride'' to all the good
things for which the party as-
sumes ciedit, endorsded the
county administration and Dan
>Tortrn for state committeeman.
Ira Billingslea of Wellston was
chosen chairman anil L. B.
Nichols of Chandler secretary.
"Dynamite" Ed Perry of Col-
gate addressed the convention in
the interest of the Roosevelt, or-
ganization and J. C. Pringey of
Kendrick, Hailed the democratic
party that has been ,la dead
weight on the wheels of progress
for half a century" Mr. Pringey
is a favorite republican orator
and his speech was received
with much applause.
Delegates vvero selected to the
state ami district convention at
Guthrie, without any apparent
friction.
There were a number of negro
delegates in attendance but they
had nothing to say.
Ask A. J. Langer if it pays to
advertise in the Era. He insert
ed a 25c add last week offering
week I Rhode Island Red eggs for sale
and the response was so good
that it is hurrying his hens to
keep up with the orders.
STALKER-TAYLOR
Miss Fern Stalker and Jess G.
Taylor were married by Rev. D.
A. McLaury last Sunday evening
at the home of the bride's par-
ents Mr. and Mrs. J. w. Stalker.
The couple will live on the Tay-
lor farm west of Stroud. The
Era exlends congratulations to

HUGO TRADED OUT
J. C. Hugo has traded his
mercantile business and store
building to L. A. Crane of Mc-
Alester who will continue the
business. Mr. Hugo got laud
near Crowder in the exchange.
Mr. Crane will be a welcome
addition to the business of the
town and the Era hopes he will
meet with success.
Bozzi for Sheriff
We add the announcement of
Sheriff Chas Buzzi to our list
this week. He is asking the re-
publican endorsement for a sec
ond term.
Republicans will recall that so
far during his official carter he
has been energetic and fearless
in law enforcement.
No one can deny that he stands
strong with his party and others
and is the biggest man yet in
sight for the office he wants.
Report on Chccker Game
As promised last week we
give the following report: The
game was steady and strong all
week—but few members were
either absent or tardy and as the
day to award the prizes drew
near the interest became intense.
When the head marks were
eounted it was found that two
had tied, whereupon it was
agreed to play the tie off.
The players solemnly seated
themselves and the struggle be-
gan. Player A (who is a con-
servative man) advanced cau-
tiously to the center. B quickly
tlanked him. A, after due con-
sideration, again advanced. B
switched and took round through
"Jonathan old patch." A, after
more consideration, ventured
another move. B struck him in
the "umbilica." After longer
deliberation A moved. B now
gave him an upper left hand cut
to the 8 and the great battle
was won and the prizes ;i warded
mid wild cheering.
Yours very ti uly
