Mrs. J. P. Wilson, who certainly
knows bow to control the boys, having
had twenty-five years experience as a
Sunday school teacher, entertained
iter Freedom Baptist church class Mon-
day afternoon of last week. She has a
class of Hi but 32 of them enjoyed the
treat. The most exciting part of the
afternoon’s pleasure was the ball game.
Those from the Happy Star school dis-
trict were opposed by those from the:
Harpersyille district. The score stood
22 to 10 in favor of the former. Light
refreshments most daintily prepared
concluded the occasion.
Last week we stated that Walter j
Pruitt received word that his father had
been killed at Cherryvale, Kansas. It
was all a mistake, but it was Mr. Pruitt’s 1
brother-in-law who was killed bv
jumping from a moving train and fall-
ing under it so that both legs were cut
off and he bled to death. The mistake
was due to his nephew sending the tele-
gram stating that his father had just
; been killed to his uncle Walter and it
read as though his (Walter’s) father
had been killed instead of his nephew’s
father. Mr. Pruitt returned from the
funeral Sunday.
Roy West and father drove down from
their homes at Caldwell, Kansas, last
Sunday and have spent the fore part of

over, but don’t know whether he will
come back here or go onto nis other
farm near Anadarko.
C. H. Fielder remained at home in
Billings from last Friday until Tuesday.
He had been about sick over a week and
| came home to rest up. In an interview
! with him he informed us that he was
awarded the contract last week for
painting the large new school building
to be erected soon in Enid and has bid
on the painting of the Christian college
the town secured recently. Mr. Fielder
relumed home again Tuesday barely
able to be up and will stay now until he
| is considerably better.
David Saindon, of Rankin, Ills, who
recently purchased the J. M. Johnson
farm, arrived here last Saturday. He
is getting ready to move back the old
house now on that farm and erect in its
i stead a much larger one on the present
site. Such a fine farm needs fine im-
provements and he has started at the
right end of the place.
; Joe Back returned Wednesday from
! his claim in Beaver county and will, We
1 suppose, remain here a spell.
L. H. Simmons and family took their
departure from Billings last Friday to
make for themselves a new home among
strangers in Concordia, Kansas, and
shipped their goods last Thursday.
They leave a host of friends behind j
them who join with us in wishing them
prosperity and know they will make
t'ri>-nd8 by the snore wherever they go.
Mesdames Otirbv, Matthieson, Hans-
borough, Smith and Lambert responded
to an invitation by Mrs, J. P. Wilson
I to enjoy the day with her Tuesday of
last week, while their husbands took in
the J. M. Johnson sale. They were
royally' entertained and Mrs. Wilson
did herself proud in serving a fine din-
ner lor them.
F. D. Lucas and E. B. Baum were
here shaking hands with old friends
Sunday. H was too fine a day for them
to resist the temptation of going some-
where and of course Billings has more
attractions for them than anywhere we
know of, hence they drove down here
from Blackwell, returning that same
i evening.
J. L. McEvoy dropped anchor in the :
Billings harbor last Saturday and stayed
