R. j. Morgan, Agt
The usual crowd of unsuspecting
humanity attempted to break into
the post-oflice Monday morning be
fore the appointed time, forgetting
that it was a holiday, and were
promptly "hooted" by the crowd on
the other side of the street.
Charley 'feel's bicycle renting es-
tablishment promises to be a great
success, if we can judge by last
Sunday. The day was beautiful,
and there was scarcely an available
wheel in town that was not whir-
ring merrily along our roads.
Through an error in proof-read-
ing last week in the memorial com-
munication from Abbot's Height,
the name of the deceased appeared
as Mrs. Prickett. We wish to offer,
j an apology for the error, and sub-
| mit the correction. The name was
Mrs. Matilda Puckett.
Willie McCall, an enterprising
young man of our town, has se
cured the general agency for Wan-
amaker & Brown's clothing- house
in Philadelphia,and has been busy
for the past week or so taking or-
! ders for custom-made clothing and
gent's furnishing goods.
The services at the Presbyterian
'ctiurch last Sunday were well at-
I tended. In the evening Rev. Fer-
guson of the M. K. church filled the
j pulpit, and his congreg'ation assist-
ed in the worship. The Sabbath
school, at 0:55 was also well attend-
i ed, there being 121 present.
j Quite a little excitement wascrea-
I ted for a few minutes on Main street
| Saturday by "that horse of Elled-
| ge's," which came tearing up the
street with the front wheels of the
delivery wagon. Nobody hurt.
The by stauders thought it was the
fire-boys with the hose cart, ha, ha.
Robert Mcflatton, representative
of the Home In,sura ace company of
New York, was in the city Monday,
the guest of W. T. Tate. The Bonn
company desires to withdraw their
business from the city, and Mr. mc
Hat.on ivas mak ng settlements
with policy holders preparatory to
so doing.
Thursday night one of the city
horses broke loose from the fire-
house, and began running about
town. There was a team and hack
hitched on the outside of the fence
at Mr. Wilder's place, and the loose
fire-horse frightened these until
they overturned the hack, demolish-
ing the lop, and doing other t-eri-
ous damage.
Sunday Thos. K. Cliesuey, deputy:
sheriff, brought in two men named
Hickman and Webb, and lodged
them in jail here on the charge oi
stealing. The men live on the liar-
ris place, belongingto j. A. Ilullum
of this city, and it is alleged that
they crossed over into tne Chicka-
saw nation to the place of a n an
named Oberly one day last week,
under the pretense of looking for
land to rent, and while there man-
aged to secrete a plow belonging to
Oberly in their wagon and bring if
home.
It is now the time of the year
when the thoughts of the poet turn
involuntarily to spring, and the
sheckels in the pocket of the un-
wary roll irrestibly toward the
street faker. Just now our city is
being bothered by this parasite,
which seems to be mindful of no
particular season in its coming; no
man knows whence it comes, or
whither it goes, or the time of its
arrival, or how it gets here; but be-
hold! it is with us. It takes away
the trade of our merchats, it raises
great outcries in the streets of our
peaceful city, it causes multitudes
to gather on the sidewalks and ob-
struct passage, it offers for sale
goods of imaginary value, and va-
rious other sins against the com-
munity does it commit; and for all
this, the city is rewarded by a mag-
nanimous license amounting to
one dollar per day. it is an injus-
tice to our merchants to allow a fa-
kir to come into the city for such
a small remuneration, and supply
the people with articles which they
would otherwise buy from our lo-
cal dealers.

Among other things they have
placed a magnificent desk right in
front of the door, where you can-
not help but see it. Mr. Tate as-

serving their customers.
So mething worth)'of interest has
been introduced at the regular
Wednesday evening prayer meet-
ings at the Presbyterian church.
Rev. S. K. Henry, pastor of that
church, has commenced a series of
illustrated Bible readings. The
readings, or lectures, are historical
in their nature, and are illustrated
by appropriate charts and maps.

On Wednesday Feb. 17. during a
trial before a justice at Perkins, lif-
ty miles east of Guthrie, old man
Dougherty, his son John, and Sam
Larkins, assaulted Amos Atkinson
and his two sons, Jim and William,
with knives, and killed the two
sons. Old man Dougherty and
Larkins were on trial for stealing
butter and lard. The murderers
were arrested and taken thiity miles
north to Stillwater to jail. After
triey were gone, another son of At-
kinson took after them 011 horse
back with a winchester declaring
he would kill them 011 sight. No
news has been heatd of the attack,
as the towns are away from tele-
graph.
Another Inve ntion.
Wallace Parker who lives west of
town, was in the city Mondoy, and
showed us something rather
astonishing in the way of an inven-
tion he is having patented. The ar-
ticle is nothing more than a plain
everyday monkey-wrench, and to
look at the ordinary wrench, one
cannot see where or what improve-
merit can be made; but that Mr.
Parker s invention is an improve-
ment cannot be questioned, when
the model is seen. It is an entirely
"new wrinkle," nothing similar to it
being known. I11 justice to Mr. Par-
ker we do not feel at liberty to give
a description of his invention, but
we will say this much, that it can
be changed from the full reach of
the jaws to an eighth of an inch
while you are figuring which
to turn the adjusting
ordinary wrench. Mr,
Bays that he has been in t, ;

and has never seen anyi
anyway similar to it, an !
