BETTER RAILROAD SERVICE
FOR HITCHCOCK
It is reported that the Rock
Island people have arranged mat-
ters with the Frisco road to use
their track from Darrow to
Okeene, and that they are now
working on a spur at Darrow.
By April 1st they expect to have
train^unning on the Choctaw
branch from Watonga via Hitch
cock and Okeene to Darrow. If
this report is ‘correct it will give
Hitchcock four passenger trains
daily and will give us Sunday
service once more. It will also
give us direct freight service to
Oklahoma City and it will give
us the benefit of two railroads.
Jacob Helmer, of southeast of
town, was transacting business
in Hitchcock Monday. While
here he came in and gladened
the heart of the editor by sub-
scribing for the home paper.
C. L. Steace bought the G. W.
Row residence property in the
northwest part of town the first
of the week. The deal was made
through D. A. Drake & Son.

Died, at hla home in our city,
last Friday morning, Mr. Buel
Cronkhite, aged 77 years, 5
months and 7 days.
He was a man of generous im-
pulses and never forgot the hos-
pitable ways of the pioneer. The
stranger even though a beggar,
never failed to find food an
shelter, if be sought it, at his
hands. He had born adversity
bravely and enjoyed prosperity
quietly. He bad filled the vari
ous relations of life, as son,
husband, father, friend, and fill-
ed them well Who can do more?
But he is gone. Another name
is stricken from the ever lessen
ing roll of our old settlers, and
a solitary woman in the snnset
of life, and a lonely home, are
left to attest bow sadly they will
miss him. It must be so; these
tender human ties cannot be
severed without a pang. Yet in
in such a death there is reaHy
no cause for grief. His life work
was done, and well done. He
had wearied with life’s duties
and carea; weary of suffering and
waiting, he lay down to rest.
Not for him be our tears!
Rather let us crown his grave
with garlands; few of us will live
as long or as well, and fewer yet
will the Angel of death greet
with such a loving touch.,
