AN NO ti MEM KXTS.
Fob Sheriff.
We urc authorized to announce the n:imo of
,1 H. Cartf.k. of North Seminole ton -hip. as
a candidal e for the office of County She rill of
Lincoln county, subject to the will of the
Republican nominating convention.
Weston Atwood, of the David-
son & Case Lumber Co., secured
six lots on the new townsite of
Wellston.
Miss Abby Hull, formerly one
of Lincoln county's brightest
teachers, is now a student at
West Virginia university, Mor-
gantown, W. Va. A recent is-
sue of the college magazine, the
Aurora, contains a prize story,
"Judge Lynch" from Miss Hull s
pen.
Capt. Jacob Amberg went to
Guthrie Tuesday to offer his ser-
vices to Gov. Barnes to recruit a
company in this county under j
the second call recently made.
TheicUptain served 15 years nthe
regular army and would make a
model officer. Lincoln county
should be recognized as we had
only one Lincoln county boy in
the first call and we can furnish
as good fighters as any county in
.the territory, and our boys are
all very anxious to be allowed to
go to the front. We hope the
territorial administration will see
that Lincoln iounty this time
sets her share.
Alex McElhinncy left for Nor-
man via. Guthrie where he will
probably attend the summer
term of school to be held there.
Quite a pleasant dance was
held Wednesday night at the
Charlie Egbert building. All of
those who attended report a
very pleasant time. The music
was the best of the season.
The Methodist church was
crowded last night to hear Prof.
Ben Hennessey in his elocution-
ary entertainment given there.
It was evident by the generous
applause which he received that
the audience was very well phas-
ed with his recitals. Prof. Hen-
nessey is talking of returning
soon and arranging to put in a
business college in Chandler.
He is an able young man and his
efforts should be seconded by
every business man in the town,
for Lincoln county might as well
keep at home the money that she
sends abroad every year for ed-
ucational purposes.
Prof. Greenlee reports the
large membership of 40 in their
republican league at Carney.
He is the president and Dr.
Rore is secretary.
W. L. Little, of Lilly, made the
News a call this weak. On ac-
count of ill health, he spent the
past winter and spring in Kan-
sas with his son. He is now at
his farm near Lilly, but will
probably return to Kansas soon.
Wellston seems to be having a
great deal of trouble over her
townsite. The one picked out
by the railroad company for the
location of the town seems to
have been plotted by the govern
ment prior to the opening of this
country since which Mr. Crad
dock has asked for tiling papers
011 the same quarter section. A
number of men have staked the
lots as they did in the opening of
Chandler and expect to fight the
railroad company and Craddock
to the end. If the 'persons who
have staked the lots, as original-
ly intended by the government,
win then Craddock and the rail-
road company will be losers, but
should they win then the other
fellows will be holding the sack.
Mrs. D. N. Frazier entertain-
ed a few friends at tea Friday
evening, complementary to Miss
Almira Green. The guest were
Mesdarnes 15. F. Harriman and
S. A. Strader, and Misses Ulani,
Salmon, Green and P^thel Green.
Straughen-Green.
Mr. Horace E. Straughen and
Miss Almira Green were united
in marriage Tuesday evening at
the home of the bride's mother,.
Mrs. Mary Green. Rev. Stock-
well officiated and a few relatives
and intimate friends witnessed
the ceremony. Refreshments
were served and the charivari
crowd was generously quieted
by the groom. Mr. Straughen
is Treasurer McKeowm's'efficient
deputy, an earnest, industrious
young man. Mrs. Straughen
has been a resident of Chandler
for four years and her womanly,
Christian character has won her
many friends. She is one of
Lincoln county's foremost teach-
ers and will be missed in that
capacity. A new household has
taken fts place, "amid the myr-
ian homes of earth." M ay it be
a happy and useful one is the
wish of many friends. •
