while the making has been easy the saving has l>ei«i hard, very, very hard.
Xot having Hny good reason for still continning'to make and save nwufcy, 1 have made up my mind to'change my way of
doing husini -s, as follows: All goods sold lor nash anionntiug to over $10 we will allow a 'JO percent discuuut texeepting on very
common chairs, and ten per cent is all we can allow on these chairs a- the profit is not '20 per cent.) This 20 per cent will applv
on all Undertaking, «s well as Furniture where it is a c.isli transaction. All goods sold to other towns in this county, including
Snyder or Anadarko, the freight 1 ill Ire pre paid and '20 percent di-eount allowed for cash—this i- to encourage bringing the
people to Lawton to trade. We understand flint some of our-competitors have imported expert stdesinen to sell their goods. We
never have had to do this yet, and when ever we do have to do it we will go out of the hu-im— I will quote you a few prices

THE STATEHOOD CONVENTION.
The single statehood convention held
at Oklahoma City on the 12th was com-
posed of as fine a body of men as ever

There was really nothing for the
McGuire men and the Flynn men in the
conv. fltion each put up a ulate tor the

temporary chairmanship to go to an
