Some
Interesting Notes from Stroud and
Vicinity by Matt Duhr.
Stroud shipped nearly 11,000 bales of the
1901 cotton crop.
The Indians are terribly worked up over
something just now. They do much travel-
ing forth and back from'the Agency.
Owing to the magic city's test well having
proved—so far—a huge failure, the town
will not soon be renamed Gusher City.
Considerable cotton seed cake and hulls
is imported from Tennessee for the large
number of cattle that are being fed and fat-
tened on Salt creek, near Stroud.
Some Stroud women are clamoring for a
grown men curfew law. They are tired of
being awakened every night to deliver caus-
tic curtain lectures to their belated husbands
or bad sons.
Elder Burney, aged 82, and his wife,
aged 79 years, both colored, who live in
South Fox township, raised and picked,
without any astistance, eleven bales of cotton
the last season.
A certain old veteran on Salt creek will
get G. A. R. Barber post after him if he
persists in making his wife chop the wood,
stir up his toddies and demands of her other
menial services.
Rev. Thomas Irwin, formerly Presbyterian
minister at Chandler and Stroud, and who
now is pastor of the First Presbyterian
church at Lawton, will soon preach in a
$4,000 church building.
Considerable litigation about estrayed hogs
is taking place before the local courts of
eastern Lincoln county. The rambling
porkers are said to do much damage in
wheat fields and to corn fodder.
Fred Grabby, who killed thirteen Indians
during one battle in Colorado in 1864, but
doesn't get a pension, should be consoled
by our old and young soldiers, as he is very
feeble and in destitute circumstances.
Barefoot Charley Barger, of the lower
Cimarron, who served barefooted through
the war of the rebellion, and walked bare-
foot into the White House, killed a beaver
in the Creek nation on New Year's day.
The people of the Arbor Grove district,
in North Fox township, are becoming re-
conciled the euphonious name of Mud col-
lege, and the once hot imbroglio has cooled
off enough so as not to be dragged to the
courts.
Sister Krigbaum preached her farewell
sermon at the Oak Grove school house last
Sunday. She is the most forcible pulpit
orator that ever preached in eastern Lincoln
county. The lady will remove to near
Hobart.
J. B. Charles expects to move into his
palatial new residence next week. The
ancient castle-resembling mansion is heated
by a" furnace, is supplied with a first-class
elevator, and its roof and queer towers are
painted green.
Hon. W. S. Robertson will establish a
rival town to Cushing and Stroud on his
farm, which is half way between those

that you need. Come and get a bargain
frisky bailiwicks. The town will be started
if the iron horse comes puffiing and snort-
ing over Goose creek.
Goose creek, which heads off Judge W.
S. Robertson's farm in Ponca township,
and is the main head water of Euchee creek,
got its rather queer name from the fact that
most of the wild geese on their semiannual
passages, generally did, and still often do,
alight in the little pond there, and after rest-
ing, bathing and perchance devouring some
little fuhes, resume their flight.
Jack Dempsel, a bachelor on Polecat
creek, Creek nation, offers $25 reward for
the person that put a negro doll for him on
the Christmas tree. He says that the un-
pardonable insult has nearly toppled over
his throne of re; s >n, and that he shot at
but didn't kill an innocent man by reason of
the so-called joke. Jack says that the fool-
killer ought to visit Polecat creek valley and
do some needed work.
A shanty on wheels, loaded with a large
family and considerable household "fixtures,"
passed through the magic city last Friday.

If You are
Where to have an important prescription
filled follow the example of those who
know by experience and take it to the
Corbin & Lynch Drug Store
Here all prescriptions are invariably compounded
with absolute accuracy. Only Pure Drugs are
used; no substitution is ever allowed. Physicians
know this, regular patrons appreciate it.
CORBIN 6 LYNCH,
Norfh of'P°o s,office. Druggists.
The odd outfit left New Jersey for the "new
country" last June and have been on the
road ever since. Three members of the
family died since their departure from New
England. The ancient conductor of the
expedition said that it had cost them $642
tash since they started for the southwest.
A self-appointed census-taker of the
Stroud whistlers, reports that he only dis-
covered two prodigies who don't whistle.
He claims that Stroud and vicinity is
adjrned with twenty-eight feminine whistlers.
He admits that Tom Warren, who can
whistle 1,000 new tunes every day, is the
boss. The sagacious enumerator says that
whistling helps a fellow's thinker, that the
pair who never could and never will whistle,
"have no music in their mouths, and are fit
for spoils, and like cats, can't be trusted.
