Again at two o'clock we were en-
tertained by the Noble Epworth
League with splendid readings, mus-
ic, short and interesting talks and
songs.
It was a very uplifting program
and should encourage other leagues.
There was a very large crowd in-
cluding many visitors from Lexing-
ton, Noble and Norman.
The Shiloh people especially thank
Nolbe and Lexington for their well
rendered part of the program.

achievement of worth while citizen-

Mr. Jenks,•visited Purcell shortly be-
fore his son, D. C., left for Camp
Travis to enter training camp for
World War Bervice and met several
of.Purcell's citizens. He impressed
all as being a man of forceful pur-

a builder of sterling character.

G. W. Jenks, father of D. C. Jenks
of the Register, passed away Monday
morning, at 4:35 a'clock in a Fort
Worth Hospital . following an opera-
tion for appendicitis Thursday morn-
ing of last week. Mr. 'Jenks was
stricken in Stephenville, Texas,
the family home, and to save six or
seven hours' time was carried by
automobile t0 Fort Worth, a distance
of 142 miles. Upon arrival and ex-
amination it was found that periton-
itis had set in and that the case was
indeed grave. Cm account of his ex
With three candidates all good
men, running for commissioner of
district number 2 and all good demo-
crats, there should be an exciting
race on in the very near future. As
a rule, the elections for such an office
is confined to one candidate put out
by two parties, sometimes two men
of the same part*, but for three men
of the same political faith to file for
one office in one district is unusual
Success to the winner whomsoever
he may be and may more candidates
get in the race for the different offi-
ces. A little excitement every two
years is necessary, and it helps to
keep us alive and to become better
acquainted with our neighbors. Let
the pot bubble on, and boil over if
necessary, and we repeat, success to
the winner*.
