Col. Barefoot Sore
At An Ananias Pair
Col. Geo. Barefoot was sore good
and proper yesterday and was breath-
ing out threatenings against Bob Rich-
ards and Jim Pettyjohn. He charges
that these two gentlemen have quali-
fied themselves for admission into the
Ananias club.
"Bob told me that he and Jim
caught two dozen fish at the dam one
day last week some of them as big
as ordinary whales. I invested $2.50
in fishing tackles and thought I'd try
my luck. I fished all day Saturday
and didn't get a bite but I learned
from a fellow down on the river that
he had sold Richards and Pettyjohn
all the fish they ever brought to
town" said the colonel.
"I should have known better than
to believe anything Bob said after the
reputation he made when he told bo
many whoppers about that famous
Jersey cow of his. Everybody now
knows that he never owned a cow
in his life."

Since the last report was published
fifteen good democrats have joined
the Grady County Bryan Dollar club
bringing the total amount contributed
up to $65.
There are about l5uQ other demo-
crats who intend to donate a. dollar
each and who will be glad to do it bul
they keep forgetting about it and put-
ting it off.
Now the hour of battle Is drawing
near and the sinews of war must be
ready. Democracy must be prepared
to present a solid front to the enemy.
It takes lots of money to conduct a
winning campaign and detnoracy can
appeal to no one except an houent
everyday voter. The trusts will fur-
nish the republicans plenty of money
but the democrats do not expect or ac
cept funds from such sources.
Don't put it off any longer. Leave
a dollar at the Citizens' Nationa
bank the First National or the Okla-
homa Stte bank or send It to the Ex-
press. Following Is the list of additional
contributors:
