CONCERNING FEET
F**}^ we fin’d, aro a very im-
portant part of an editors equip-
ment/*
Not .that lie edits his paper
with his feet, although the
amount of kicking some editors
do. might lead one to think they
edited their papers with their
feet.
But feet are useful in other
ways: -
If yoif dont believe it just try
to get along without them.
We have had experience in
this line and for the last two
months we have been getting
along With a pair that wasn’t
much better than no feet at all.
Perhaps they are not to blame
possibly they have done as much
as could be asked of one pair of
feet.
They have carried us around
quite a good deal in this old
world in the last sixty years.
And to carry 250 pounds is no
picnic for any kind of feet.
So instead of cussing our feet
we have decided to try the
merits of sojnc of the mineral
waters 6f Texas and expect to
start neitj^Sunday morning witn
our feet for the Mineral Springs
at Vineyard in Jack Co. and fig-
ure on being gone about two
weeks. “What about the paper ?’’
we think we hear some subscrih
er ask.
That is a very reasonable
puestion, in view of the fact that
aside from curself and our type
setter Miss Rosa I^ea, there is
not ■: printer within ten miles of
Pock/ -p .ct Bro, Hornback of
< JSfetw.sbpy and be is six miles
awtay and W'is six miles away,
and he lias troubles of h's own,
and' besides the Orient might
sneak into Sentenel while he
was away.
Well, fortunately, Miss Rosa
is “ good troops, ” and will get
out the Advance alone with the
help of-some body to run the
prt’ss.y. .
By piriking a few changes in
the ‘•mmke up ” of the paper for
these two issues Miss Rosa will
be able to handle the proposit-
ion in good shape, which by the
way, is doing exceedingly well
for one who has had less than
eight i. onths experience in a
printing office.
But Miss Rosa lias a well es-
tablished reputation for going
through with what she under-
takes, dml we have no fear of
the out-cqme.

IMPORTANT BUSINESS
CHANGE
There h s he* u a change in
the “ Old Reliable ” Robinson
Company.
The business was originally
started by J. A. Robinson as a
drug store.
He began business with a
small stock in a little building
near the depot, where the town
frist stalled.
A little later, when it was de-
cided to build the dusineSs part
two blocks further south, Mr V\
A. Bills, an old Mississippi neigh
bor of the Robinson's took an
interest with him and the Robin
son Diug Company brought
lot and built a store at tlieir pre-
sent location near the corner of
3rd and Main streets,and extern
ed their business so as to include
every thing in a general store.
They prospered and grew with
the town and country, and
while still carrying a line of
drugs, they did a very large
business in the grocery a ad dry
goods line, having the largest
trade in the town in these lines.
Last summer they bought the
big stock and fine drug store
equipment of A. J. Pepper who
had moved here from Hobart
where lie had been tricked out
of a location. In order to make
room for this i i, stock, they
leased the big it or. just north of
their store, owned j post mas-
business of the old firm has been
dove’opetl bv the addition of new
capital and working force, thus
forming another forward stox

and other things of int -rest.
We confess that we decided to
goto Vineyard because we want
ed an excuse for going to Texas.

states, but never took in the

many of our subscribers have
come’here from Texas, we are

had just been vacated by Mr
Denison’s hardware store.
When Mr W. A. Bills closed
out bis large interests in Cordell
a few months ago lie moved to
Rocky together with his aon Mr
J. M. Bills and his w
About ten days ago, Mr, J. M
Bills bought out the entire drug
business of the Robinson Drug
Co. and now sole owner of tho
business in the north room,

their stock of Dry Goods Grocer

Tho archway between the two
rooms has been closed up and
now if you want a drink of soda
water or want a prescription fil-
led you go in on the post offic
side, where Mr Bills w’ll serve
the soda, and Miss Viner will
put up your prescription.
Every thing is in excellent
shape and tho stock is larger
thm ever, and includes thou-
sands of articles never kept iit a
drugstore in towns of this size.
It is i i fact as fully equiped
and completely stocked as any
store of its kind in either Hobart
or Cordell, and would boa credit
to either of tlioso towns.*
On the Dry Goods side, the
Robinson Drug Co. is crowded to
the cpiling with an immense
stock of seasonable goods of
every concoivablo variety in
their numerous lines, and you
will find Andy Robinson, W. A

Mr L.L.Klinefelter.
Dear Sir;
Tliis evening
I take pleasure in writing you a
few lines concerning the sclioo
and tlie work that is being done
Th 3 school is still getting
larger, we have about eighty
odd on roll and others to enrol
this week. Dr Womack went
off and atttended the Education-
al Association last week
He secured oue hundred and
twenty five volumns for the Li-
brary Every body is asked to
send a book to tho college or
take up a collection and send it
to Prof. Me A tee between now
and Xmas. My dear Baptist
friends, if you are interested in
the education of your boys and
girls and of the Missionaries,
who are studying to go across
uhe waters and those who stay
in our own country. You should
reel it your duty to give a little
something to it. Oh! how much
she Baptist of Oklahoma should
rejoice because they have got
;beir own school in their own
state. Oil! that God would lay
on every heart, that the harvest
las come and tho tvapers are
rew so that we as Baptist would
wake to the sence of our duty.
This college is doing a great
work for the Lord, a person .ait
not tell how much work a school
will do, you cau’t limit the love
of God, so a young man or wo-
man who wishes to get an ed-
ucation should take into consid-
eration what a Christian school
means and compare it with a
state school.
The state school is alright as
far as it goes, but a good Chris-
tian school is better, for a per-
son gets different training and
can be in a Christian body that
will help to lift up humanity,
bocauso man is a sinner in tho
sight of God and must be lifted
up by the Christian people
through the Lord Jesus Christ-
Miss Mary Lee and Miss May
young are doing very, very well
in school. Miss Mary has a very
heavy course, but she stands a
show for the scholarship medal.
Yours truly,
L. B. Tierce.

If Uncle Mike Robinson pulls
a knifeon you it does not mean
that lie intends toxlo you bodily
harm. He only wants to show
a knife that Isn’t for sale. It is
a great big knife used by the
sailors on the navy for cutting
ropes &c. It was sent to him by
his son Lieut. Robinson, when
he was a sailor on the Battle
ship Indiana in 1903.
To a land lubber like the ed-
tor, such a weapon is quite a
curiosity.

The Advance office had tho
good fortune to receive a call
ona (lay last week from .Presi-
dent W.H.Schlabach of Okla-
homa City,
Mr Sehlabach is an Iowa man
and has for years boon presi-
dent of the DeWitt Saving Bank
of DeWitt la.
Wo had a very pleasant time
talking over-old times in Iowa
of which ttato Mr Sehlabach is
a native although 50 years old.
It gives ono an impressive
idea of tho rapid development of
the country when such astute
as Iowa is created out of hand
in ono man’s lifetime.
Mr Sehlabach came down to
Oklahoma several years ago and
j was impressed ith the future
greatness of the state and de-
cided to transfer all his interests
here, and his example is being
followed by many investor
among his friends.
Iowa has become quite an in
suranee state along with her
other developments and Mr
Sehlabach has been in positio:
to watch the rise and progres
ot half a dozen good st rong hour
companies in DesMoino Daven-
port, Dubuque an other places,
and has noieed how they serv*
to keep the money of tho people
in Iowa.
He is convinced that there is
an equally good field for a square
dealing old line fire insurance
company in Oklahoma and to
gether with other capitalists, he
has organized the Pioneer Insu-
rance Co. of Oklahoma with
headquarters at Oklahoma City
With a paid up capital of
§50.000 which is double tho cap
ital ary Iowa company started
with.
.'dr Sehlabach was very favor-
ably impressed witn the country
around Rocky and desired us to
represent his company here.
It has been our policy to ae
oept tho agency for none but
strong and well known com
panics like the Phenix of Brook-
lyn with a million and a half
capitol or the American Central
with two million, or tho Aetna
with four millions. ( tho largest
of any American Company ) or
the Liverpool &London & Globe
the strongest of tho English’com
panics, but from our ■‘personal
acquaintance with Mr Sehlabach
we are ce tain that the Pioneer
vviM be honestly managed and
although •« new company it will
furni h absolutely safe insur-
ance, aid being a home com
pany for the new State of Okla-
homa, We so" chow felt that
it would be a good thing all
around, and added the agency
for it tu ouf office.
There aro many, no doubt who
would prefer to insure in an
Oklahoma company provided
they felt it was safe, and wo
took tho agency in order to give
our customers a chance to insure
in a good home company if they
w ish to do so.
