Board of Trustees Meet
The regular monthly meeting
ol' the board of trustees was held
Monday evening, at the eity hall
M. A. Mitchell occupied the chair
and Trustees. Fisher, Woolsey
and Murphy answered at roll
call.
Minutes of previous meeting
read and approved.
After applications of R. 1!.
liullis and .1. <i. Tuggles, for the
position as night mashall had
been read and considered, the
appointment of Frank Freeman,
previously made by President
Mitchell, was confirmed on mo ;
tion of Trustee Murphy.
A protest against the construc-
tion of a chicken house in the |
rear of the States & Fisher gro-
cery store by 1). 11. Flaherty, who
owns adjoining business property,
was presented by a member of
the board, but inasmuch as ■
others had been allowed the same j
privilege, the board decided that .
this firm should be allowed to !
construct coop in rear of the lot, !
but that same must be kept j
clean and sanitary at all times, j
The suggestion that an ordinance j
be drawn that would place a pen- j
alty on owners of coops who I
failed to keep them in a sanitary
condition, met with favor and it
was decided to have an oi'din-
nance drawn that would provide
for same.
The regular monthly bills were
next taken up and the following
read and 011 motion, ordered

DOVER NEWS
Fred Town is building a new
bam on bis farm adjoining the
town.
Ij. Puis shipped a carload of
cattle to Oklahoma City, Monday
night.
A carload of shingles that had
been enroute from Everett,
Washington, since October 3,
was received Monday, by the
Seliowalter Lumber Company.
This fine weather we have
been enjoying for the past two
weeks seems to suit most every-
one.
Glenn Lillibridge received a
carload of alfalfa hay Monday,
that was shipped from Kansas.
Several of our people played
checkers with each other last
week. Pete Miller moved to his
recently completed residence,
Albert Blair moving into the
bouse vacated by Mr. Miller,
which Mr. Blair has purchased,
and Ha I've Benson moved into
the house vacated by Mr. Blair.
Mr. and Mrs. John Lillibridge,
Misses Fern Munger-and Melva
Ray drove to the Covington oil
fields Sunday
Several from Dover expect to
go to Hennessey Friday evening
to see anil hear the "Million Dol-
lar Doll," which shows at the
('ity Opera House.
Four carload shipments were
received in Dover last week—
one of lumber, one of coal, one
of shingles and one immigrant
ear. Six carloads were shipped
out—one of cotton, one of cattle
one of wheat, one cotton seed
one of hogs and cattle, mixed
and one of flour.
I.. Puis and Glenn Lillibridge
were passengers on No. Mon-
day evening for Oklahoma City.
Say, if you learn to play horse
shoe throwing so well that you
can place a "ringer every
tune, what "then? What is it
worth to you?
W. 11. Carter, who has been
practicing here as a veterinary
for the past nine years, has an-
nounced that he will discontinue
the practice
It is an old saying that "those
who live in glass houses should
not throw stones." A paper one
week Criticised a local girl for
saying "she did not give a
darn," and in its next issue, in
referring to a man who owed a
debt, stated that his credit was
not good, and used a word that
begins with I). So strong that it
was printed I > .
•I. I). Love will hold a public
sale at his farm east of Dover 011
Friday, .Ian, 12. Col. -I. L. Mur-
phy will furnish the wind at this
sale.
A lighting system has been in-
stalled in the Dover school build-
ing. This was made possible by
popular subscription of the pa-
j'trons and school children. Much
interest in this work was shown
by Prof. Templin, and it was
through his efforts that this
work was done. He devoted his
entire Christmas vacation to this
and other needed repair work
he did, such as patching broken
plastering and cal.soniining and
painting all the rooms. A walk
has been complete ! to the school
building.
We have been asked at times
why we do not write all the
news. If we could, and only dar-
ed to write all the news that hap-
pens in "this wide place in the
road." we would give you only
one such letter, for the next day
our life insurance would be due.
No, the real news -the news that
interests people the most, is just
what one dares not write for
publication, because the writer
would not be safe, as mob law
is still practiced in Oklahoma.
Wm. Ray. section foreman of
the Uock Island section here, has
been awarded a cash prize of
$50,00 for the neatest and best
kept section between El Reno
and Caldwell, including the Bil-
lings and Chandler branches, for
the year 1016. Mr. Kay also so
cured for the Dover section, the
1915 prize for the best kept sec-
tion. lie has been awarded this
honor three times during th
l>ast five years. This speaks high-
ly for the efficiency of Mr.
and for the Dover section and
proves that Mr. Kay takes real
interest in his work and is b<
sides putting forth a great deal
of effort, but the result is ev
dellt—lie gets results.
