JOHN AND SALLIE S HOME
IOHN loved Sallie--that was his business. Sallie loved John-
U that was her business. But when it came to furnishing their
home that was our business. We furnished their home from
kitchen to parlor as well as many other homes in Hugo, Boswell,
Ft. lowson, Idabcll, Garvin and the surrounding' country.
Another car load of Dependable Furniture unloaded this
week. The largest and best stock to select from in Southeastern

Elsewhere in this issue you
will find the new Oklahoma Road
Law in full. Don't fail to read it
and preserve the paper for fu
ture reference.
A few months ago we were all
staggered by the information of
a three story building. We were
so wrought up about it that for
awhile we called it a skyscraper.
Now plans are being perfected
for the construction of two four
story buildings and we are tak-
ing it only as "a matter of course
and are not a bit excited. We
are swiftly but surely becoming
metropohtanized.
Every farmer of Choctaw coun-
ty should be present at the insti-
tute to be held in this city on the
25th of this month. It is to be
organized for the especial bene-
fit of the farmers and its educa-
tional advantages can not be over
estimated. It is one of the wise
provisions made by our state
government and one to which
the farmer is entitled.
Dr. Wright Elected Pres-
ident of State Health
Association.
According to the report of to-
day's Oklahoman, Dr. H. L.
Wright, of this city, was elected
| president of the State Health
I Officers Association which con-
vened in Oklahoma City yester-
1 day.
Dr. Wright is Superintendent
of Public Health of this county
and is one of the most prominent
physicians of this county.
We have been assured by many
travelling men that there is more
iHJpruvt-'Uiciiis, and mow ooetly
buildings under course of con-
struction in Hugo than in any
other town of less than 20,000
inhabitants in the whole South-
west. The country is also set-
tling rapidly with an energetic-
class of farmers and the devel
opment has "only begun. Within
two years our population will
reach the neighborhood of 25,000
and Hugo will be known as the
chief city of the eastern part of
the state.
The initial numbea of the Blue
Ridge (Tex. ) Press, by C. E.
Graves, was received by us last
week The Press is a neatly
printed 5 col. quarto and its lo-
cal and editorial features are
far above the ordinary country
weekly. Mr. Graves, while a
successful business man, is of a
literary turn of mind and has
previously written several books,
we predict succes for him in the
field of journalism.
In speaking with a meat drum
mer in this city the other day,
we learn that 75,000 pounds of
meat, or about $9,000 worth, is
sold by the various packing com
panies to the merchants of Hugo
and surrounding towns in this
corner of the state. Think of it
*108,000 going out of this section
every year that should go into
the pockets of the farmer. This
money is helping to make the
hog raisers of Kansas and other
northern states rich. Nowhere
in America, can hogs and beef
cattle be raised at a better profit
than right here. We are near
the great lumbering districts
where everything that can be
eaten commands a good price
and a ready sale. The opportu-
nity of a lifetime exists right
here for the wide awake farmer.
Taking advantage of such sure
propositions is what makes our
wealthy men. Attend the meet-
ing of the Farmers Institute
here on the 25th and learn more
about it.
"Back to the farm country" is
the slogan of the Country Life
Convention in Guthrie, but the
trouble is the sloganist wants
somebody else to go back.—Mc
Alester News-Capital.
It is not at all probable that
many of those participating in
the Country Life Convention will
ever engage in farming, but it
don't take a man with an acutely
developed sixth sense to see
that better opportunities exist
on the farm at this day and time
than that offered in the cities and
towns.
Not until recently have we been
able to account for the rabid ut-
terances and threatening atti
tude of the Antlers News-Rec
ord, the official and only newspa
per of Pushmataha. How that
county of blackhaw, rugged
rocks and deep ravines could
produce so much bad politics has
been a mystery. But at last it
is coming into its own. It is
recognized as the home of the
brightest, purest and a most
"intoxicating" moonshine.
Who can say that Hugo is not
a righteous town? The News re
fers to the inhabitants as "slum
bering" at 10 o'clock at night.
Notice To Tax Payers
The time for the one-half pay
ment is past, where there have
been no part of the tax paid, they
will go delinquent May 19th.
Those who have paid one-half
have until June 1st to pay the
last one-half.
A. J. Steen,
County Treasurer.
Dr. L. C. Rucker is spending
the week in Tucamaria, New M.
In all of the larger cities and
most of the smaller towns of
10,000 population up an annual
chatauqua is held. The Idea
originated at Chatauqua, N. Y.,
among the Thousand Islands.
The idea has grown until now
a Chautauqua is the annual event
in music, art and oratory circles
in all parts of the country, and
the most brilliant men and wo-
men in all .tiie professions-
ministers, lawyers, surgeons,
readers, impersonators, actors,
and musicians have taken to the 1
Chatauqua platform. It not
only pays big financial returns,
but is a fascinating work as
well.
While Hugo is a young and a
smali city, Manager Pulton of
the Star Airdome believes it is
large enough to support an an
uual Chatauqua, so he has ar-
ranged lor me rtrst <>«-„• r<>r m
days, May 30 to June 0 inclusive.
Mr. Pulton has contracted
with the well known Dixie Ly
ceum Bureau to furnish the tal
ent, 16 numbers, all of them
with national reputations. In
selecting his talent Mr. Fulton
showed excellent taste, and
while the personnel of his talent
cost considerable he has people
who will draw parties from the
surrounding country.
It is a big thing for Hugo and
the advertising alone will do a
world of good, as it places her in
the first ranks as offering a first
class entertainment for a week
that's inferior to none. It would
be impossible to get better ones
among whom is Governor Varde-
man. The New York Herald
says:
"American public life holds no
more striking figute than James
K. Vardeman, former governor
of Mississippi. In his lecture
"The Crisis" he *has a message
to deliver the American people
and his way, the personality and
oratory are all his own".
Booth Lowry, who has gained
a name second to none and a
record of 257 lectures in 20 towns
and all bonafide paid engage
ments.
The original (Quaker male
quartette, all known the world
over.
William Sterling Battis, inter-
preter of Dickens, is loved not
only for his marvelous work in
interpolating Dickens character,
but by his own personality is one
of the most popular of Chatau
iua entertainers.
The festival sextette, Mrs. D
C. Randall, impersonator and
reader; Mrs. Boylan & Co., vo-
calists and others.
Mr. Pulton has put the 7 tick
eU> at $2.50 for the season, ltl
numbers at 15 1-lOc each num-
ber and reserved seats included.
Every man and woman in Hutro
should buy a ticket. Mr. Pul-
ton deserves the loyal supuort
of every citizen.
Tickets are on sale at Henry's
starting Saturday, May 15, and
the reservations will be made
also.
HUGO WILL HAVE
A
Ex-Gov. Vardeman, of Miss-
isippi Will Open Event

Manag3r D. A. Fulton, of the
Airdome,returned Saturday from
Oallus where he made arrange-
ments for a Chatauqua to be held
j in this city this season.
I The attrcctions include such
j ( haracters as Ex-Gov. Vardman,
of Mississippi, and others with a
national reputation. Sixteen
numbers in all appear upon the
program. This great feature
will last for eight days beginning
on May 30 and lasting until June
6 th.
A. J. Steen made a business
trip to Boswell this week.

ment bonds were sold. There
