Notice to Subscribers.
In writing out our new subscription
list for the year 1901, we find a num-
ber of our subscribers as much as two
years behind in paying their subscrip-
tion. Subscribers not more than one
year behind we think little about; but
subscribers who let their subscrip-
tion go over two years certainly do
so through forgetfulness or oversight.
In order to remind our subscribers
over two years behind in their sub-
I scription accounts we intend to mail
a statement to them in a short time
and trust that this will be a sufficient

Quarantine Difficulties.
Dr. S. J. Elmore is having some
trouble enforcing quarantine regula-
tions. It is reported to us that last
week Dr. McBride of Noble tore down
a yellow flag put out at the home of
one of his patients by order of Dr.
Elmore and said that no quarantine
officer could put out a yellow flag at
the home of any of his patients. Dr.
Elmore immediately swore out a war-
rant for Dr. Mc Bride's arrest and trial
is set for some time in next month.
Last year the Board had some diffi-
culty quarantining Dr. McBride's
home and it seems the doctor is a lit-

The Ladies Club of Chickasha Presented
with a Pine Building Lot.
Sorosis of Chickasha, I. T., was the
happy recipient, on January 9th, of a
fine building lot on Chickasha avenue,
from Mr. B. P. Smith, president of the
Citizens' Bank. The club is very much
elated over their good fortune, and
are planning to have a club house
built on their lot as soon as possible.
The meeting made memorable by
this gift was held at the home of Mr-
Smith and his charming wife supple-
mented his generosity with a dainty
luncheon.
The Cotorie of Norman would like
very much to meet with such a wind-
fall as the Ladies Club of Chickasha,
we have no doubt.
Snake Indian Uprising.
Last week the dispatches indicated
that a serious out-break of the Snake
Indians in the Creek country was like-
! ly to occur and troops were hastened
to the Creek country and now the dis-
i patches announce that former reports
' were very much over drawn. A few
j of the Indians causing the disturb-
I ances have been put in jail and every-
I thing is quieting down again, and no-
I body hurt.
John R. Durkee has blossomed out.
j as a merchant in Denver, O. 1. He
| purchased the Smithpeter stock at
1 that place. While in business in
Norman John made many friends and
lined a good knowledge of tin:
ants and needs of the trade.
