ANNOUNCEMENTS.
When the lawyers have aeon
vention, it is generally the meet-
ing' of two bars.
There scents to be but one man
according to The Commoner that
would fit the Democratic nomina-
tion for president and that is Mr.
Bryan himself.
After seventy-nine rounds of
all kinds of political sparing the
Republicans of Illinois nominated
Charles S. Deneen for governor
and L. Y. Sherman for Lieuten-
ant Governor.
At Clinton, Illinois a negro by
the name of Alex. Jackson, 44
years of age, married a white
girl of 20 years. What the good
citizens of that city did to .lack-
son was a plenty and then some.
The University won the Field
contest aud also the Inter-Colle-
giate Oratorical contest at Guth-
rie last week. John Darling was
the athletic star and J. Walker
Field is pronounced by those who
heard him to be a scholar and or-
ator of exceptional ability.
There seems to be a disposition
on the part of some voters not to
attend the primaries, leaving
these in a position they claim to
help defeat certain candidates.
Now we claim this is not the
right thing to do, as it weakens
the balance of the ticket. If you
want to defeat any one do it in
the nomination and not try to do
it in the general election.
There has been some talk by
certain parties since an article
appeared in this paper last weeV
in regard to whom it would sup-
port in case certain candidates
were nominated. We wish to
say right here that any ones
name appearing in the announce-
ment column of this paper if
nominated by the Democrats of
this county will receive our un-
divided support from start to fin-
ish. We take this way of letting
a few clowns in a certain part of
the county know just what to de
pend on so far as we are con-
cerned.
Last week when the South Cana-
dian river changed its channel near
Noble it left that city with a bridge
on its hands without a river.

cheerfully receive subscriptions

a-Week Oklahoman both for one

any paper in the two territories.

ford to miss any of the news.
Local and Personal.
Work on the new Bchool house ia
progressing very nicely. It is now
being lathed and will soon be ready
for the plasterers. It is a modern
structure and iB certainly a credit to
Lexington.
Regular preaching services at the
Methodist church Sunday morning
and evening. The Sacrament of
the Lord's Supper will be adminis-
tered after the sermon in the morn
ing. Let every member make it a
point to be present. All are cordi-
ally invited. T. O Sianks,
Pastor.
Mr. Hine has completed the new
work on the Purcell and Lexington
telephone lines and now has room
on the switch board for fifty new
phones. Mr. Hine wishes overybody
who wants phones to leave their
order with central in either city and
the order will be promptly attended
to.
Summer excursion rates are now
on to Colorado, Utah, points in Illi-
nois, Wisconsin, Michigan and var-
ious other points. Before you take
your summer outing you will do
well to see A. W. Huffman, agent
for the Santa Fe, who will quote
you rates to fit most any pocket
book. Limits are n ighty liberal,
too. Phone 51, Purcell, I. T.
Mr. Chas. Lisszauer, the mixer
and dispenser of drinks for Herman
Turk's popular resort, is one of the
most patriotic men in the city. He
always hangs out flags on decoration
day and never forget" St. Patrick's
day. Mr. Lisszcier was born near
the city of Dublin when quite
young, an<i has lived in the United
States ninny long and several short
yeats ever since his arrival from the
old coRntrv.

"I received your Insane letter, from
which I gather that you are under the
Impression that you have killed a
stag. Poor fellow. I pity your delu-
sion. I hope the time has now come
when I can break to you the painful
truth. Your wife, who (as I have al-
ways told you) alone makes It pos-
sible for you to exist, observing how
the disappointment of your repeated
failures v as tellirg on your health
and on ycur lntelleot, arranged with
the kee;i3rs for placing in a proper
position a wooden stag. You were
o nducte<1 unsuspectingly to the spo
and Bred at the dummy! In the ex-
citement of the moment you were car-
ried off by the gillie, so that you did
not discern the cheat,"
