While in Broken Bow yester-
day we met many old friends,
too numerous to mention, all
readers of the Gazette and each
expressing themselves as well
pleased with their condition and
enjoyed reading MfcCurtain
county’s best twice-a-week pa-
per.
“Red” Walker and Alex Wom-
ack, colored, were arrested last

session and were lodged in the

thirty minutes.
A. D. Caldwell, of Goodwater,
sends us a dollar for a renewal
to the Gazette and says: “ I am
glad you take the stand for Ida-
bel and McCurtain county that
you do. If we had more men to
stand for the right like you do
this county would be much bet-
ter.” The Gazette is sometimes
unappreciated by some folks but
they are to us like a knot on
small boys head. They only
live here, have their being and
amount to nothing so far as the
good they render to their town
and county. Their only aim is
to fill their coffers and criticise
good men.
