The Local Newspaper.
It is to the interest of every town to
support a newspaper, not through local
pride alone but for practical business
reasons. A newspaper is constantly
doing ten times as much for its town as
it could ever hope to get pay for—more
than it could charge for, if it would.
The more prosperous a paper is the
more it is able to do. Show us a good
weekly paper, full of live local ads.,
with a general circulation throughout
the country, and we will show you an
up-to date, prosperous, progressive
community.
Show us any community that
persisently proceeds on the idea that
the editor of the home paper can live
on the "pi" that accumulates in the
office, where official bodies think it is
a waste of public money to throw him
a bit of public printing occasionally at
living prices, whose citizens have come
to regard it as one of their inalienable
rights to work him for long-winded
obituary notices and "in memoriams,"
with three inches of hymn book poetry
at the end, to say nothing of an oc-
casional notice of a lost cow or some
cane seed for sale, and we will show
a community that is living from hand
to mouth and Is always on the ragged
edge of adversity.
People ought to stop to think about
these things . It is their own good
that is involved, the welf are of their
community,therefor of themselves.
A local newspaper is adsolutely nec-
essary to any community. No merchant
no court official, no town council that
spends every year all it can afford with
the home paper, whether that expendi-
ture is actually necessary or not, makes
a wiser, more profitable investment.
They are not "giving" the home-
paper something. On the contrary, it is
earning every cent it gets, and more,
provided it is a paper that is worth pick-
ing up in the road.
And if it isn't that sort of a paper it
is usually the fault of the town in which
It is published. Shawnee County News.

OKLAHOMA CITY.
Southwest Corner Grand Avenue, and Robinson Street.
Farm Loans a Specialty.
It was sad news indeed when the
word came Saturday morning, that our
Editor Mr. Felt was dead. Could
scarcely realize the truth. Yet God
is no respector of persons and he doeth
all things well. A more kind genials
and generous nature one need not wish to
have. His many friends feel they have
sustained a great loss in his death he
always had a kind word and a smile
for everyone and now that he Is gone
we can say goodby. The skies shall
weep above you and the roses will bud
and blossom over the silent spot where
you slumber and are still. In this sad
affliction Mrs. Felt and little Nita have
the united sympathy of our people.
All the ties our hearts uniting
Are dissolved forever more
He whose smiles that home was lighting
Wanders on oblivions shore.
Dear Jesus help us all to live
That we may meet beyond the river
With friends wh 3 have before us gone
And with them live, yes, live foievre.
The old settlers reunion was a
success there were ninety heads of
families that had been here ten years
registered. Gov. Ferguson gave a
very interesting address on early days
in Oklahoma, Mr. John Mitch, of
Oklahoma City gave us a splendid talk.
All togather it was a very pleasant day
for all, at the close it was voted to hold
these reunions annually.
B. F. Bullngton's entertained the
young people at singing Sunday night.
C. W. Poage has rented Arthur Rose
farm, John Bulington C. P. Jones'
farm. Otica Plowman has rented Mr.
Shintaffers farm near the railroad.
Now girls John and Otlca will both be
in need of a housekeeper.
Mr. Carpenter and Nellie are on the
sick list.

Good Words For Baxter.
The Oklahoma School Journal, good
authority on school matters, has the
following to say of Territorial Superin-
tendent Baxter: We know personally
the work of our territorial superin-
tendent among the teachers, and we
also know of their unanimous support
of him. No man in the territory is so
popular as he, or can do half the good
he is doing. The teachers love him
for his pure motives, his exellent ad-
vice, and his earnest encouragement to
better work and advancement all along
the line.
The rain Monday night and Tues-
day morning is worth many thousand
dollars to Oklahoma county. It has
gladened the hearts of the farmers,
and made all the people rejoice.
