Sounds pretty bigdon'ti It?
And yet. a con.Kervat.lve estimate
formed by grocery and meat dealers of

correct.
The estimate was based on the
theory shut the fifteen hotels and res-
taurants of the city yesterday killed at
least one hundred turkeys and that at
least nine hundred of the private fami-
lies of the cl:y had turkey of .their

Clover on the Capital
Chiekasha Okla. Nov. 24 1910.
Editor Express; Please pardon me
for requesting space in your paper
but after noting carefully Hon. R. L
Clover's interview in. your columns I
think that every true Chiekasha citi-
zen should do honor to the worthy ex-
pressions of ottr Grady county states-
man. I have ever been a staunch sup-
porter of "Battleaxe" Glover and was
never so proud of him as on this
Thanksgiving day and am congratu
lating myself on the declaration I
have often made than. Glover has made
Grady county ihe best representative
she hag ever had and want to further
predict that it will be years before his
equal is elected from this comity to
'the legislature.
He has shown in "his evei action
loyalty and patriotism to Chiekasha
and Grady county and I for one be-
lieve that every cltizr-ii of Grady coun.
ty should appreciate Glover's past ac-
tions and his patriotic declaration to
that extent that they will express to
him their appreciation for his past
and expressed determined future ac-
tion; also that eacli and every citizen
of Grady county request o" her other
representatives and senators to join
with Glover in his efforts in behalf of
Chiekasha and Grady county.
Very respectfully
