Dr. Clark
Dr. Clark the third number of the
Lyceum course will be at the M. E.
church Tuesday night March 7th.
Those who have attended these enter
tainments know they are of the high-
est class and worth three the amount
charged. The people of Poteau are
paying 76 cents and $1.00 for each
number of the same course, while
you can attend them at Wister for
for 25 and 50 cents. Everybody
should go Tuesday night March 7th
and hear Dr. Clark as this is one of
the best entertainments and should
you miss this one you will miss a
treat. His oratory is such as holds
his audiance spellbound from begin-
ning to end. Don't fail to hear him.
The old cry of "It Doesn't Pay!" is
all right, maybe, but it is our care-
ful observation that it is the mer-
chant who is advertising in the news-
papers is the fellow who is doing the
business.
Taken Up
One bald faced, dark brown pony,
about 16 years old, weight about 600
pounds, no brands that can be seen
now on account of long hair, has had
its mane roached but is nearly grown
out, saddle marked and about 13
hands high- Owner can get same by
calling on C. H. Dighton at Kennady,
Oklahoma, and paying for feed and
this notice.
The only institution that can make
money without advertising is the
mint.
MOVING
This week and too busy to write ads.
Will give you some good bargains next
week. But in the meantime don't for-
get that we are eelling cheaper by far
than the other fellow.
