LOCAL NEWS NOTES.
The man who never makes mis-
takes misses a good many splendid
chances to learn something.
Miss Elsie Robertson has charge
of the switch board at central during
the day. All rural lines are cen-
tered there.
Miss Rena Smith returned Satur-
day from Edmond where she was
attending school, and is now assist-
ing her father in the bank.
W. W. Trivett bought six lots
adjoining his residence on the e3,st,
of C. E. Wilcox the other day, and
i s placing a wire fence around them.
Chas. Jolly and family left Tues-
day for Caddo county where they
will make their future home. They
leave many friends here who regret
their leaving.
Grandpa Elias Thomas, who is
past 80 years old, and who has been
confined to the house some weeks
with sickness, was able to be on our
streets Monday.
A force of men were here *he first
of the week overhauling the long
distance telephone system. New
wires have taken the place of the old
ones, and other improvements have
been made.
Dr. W. A. Pendergraft bought
the other day the building and lot
north of McCown's store of G. Z.
Page. It is said the Dr. will build
a brick business house on his pur-
chase in the near future.
There are some people who are
mighty careless about throwing old
truck into the streets and alleyways.
Such people should be taught a little
civic pride. It is impossible to keep
places clean if people will persist in
such practices.
There are too many men who ex-
pect an editor to slave in defense of
their pet notions and hobbies, advo-
cate their views against the strong-
est opposition and coolly withold the
the business support by which alone
a local newspaper can live.
Now is the time when the country
newspaper men are receiving letters
from men they do not kliow, and pos-
sibly never heard of, stating the
writer is a candidate for some state
office and any aid the editor can be-
stow will be greatly appreciated.
Yes, no doubt it would. On the
other hand any aid these politicians
can bestow the editor to recompense
him for space used in his paper would
be appreciated. If politicians want
to advertise their business why in
the dickens don't they inclose a check
as evidence of good faith, for the
amount of advertising they desire
and send along copy properly signed,
for advertising. Talk about business.
If there is any business in a news-
paper man giving away his space any
more than a merchant giving away
his goods, we are unable to see where
it comes in.
Harry Jolly, who had been em-
ployed on the Enterprise the past
year or more, left with his parents
Tuesday for Caddo county. Harry
was an industrous, reliable and com-
petent young man, and a bright fu-
ture is beford him. Being ambitious
he is just the boy who will take ad-
vantage of his opportunities to make
a useful man. He has the best wishes
of a host of friends for his future
success.
There should be no faction in our
little city. There should be a mu-
tual interest in the prosperity of our
people. When we see contentions
and strife among the people, we see
a town all wise men shun. Success
and failure are each a part of life
and often those who have made the
hardest fight are vanquished in the
race. If you want to make Carney
a better town keep down strife and
all work in harmony.
W. F. Wilkinson, proprietor of
the livery and feed barn, is making
quite an improvement in the livery
service since he has taken charge
of the barn. He promptly meets all
trains with the bus and answers all
calls night or day, and his rigs will
compare in quality and price with
any of the neighboring towns. When
wanting livery give him a call and
you will be treated right.
A couple of years ago the village
of Carney went to the expense of
purchasing a couple of ladders and
about 25 buckets to use in case of
fire. The buckets have all been
carried awiy and the ladders could
not be found in case of a fire.
Mrs. David Roberts, mother of J
D. Roberts of this place, died at her
home in Guthrie on last Saturday
night, after a lingering illness, aged
78 years. The remains were laid
to rest on Sunday following.
C. T. Pyle, the efficient Katy sta-
tion agent at this place, has resigned
to accept a place with the Rock Is-
land at some place in Kansas. The
friends of this excellent family re-
gret they are to leave us.
Father Pressler is confined to his
bed, suffering from a complication of
diseases. We hope to see him out
again soon.
Possibly several local items have
been overlooked this week that should
have been noted. If you don't see
them it was because we had not the
time to hunt them up, and you failed
to mention them.
Several days ago Jed Page ran a
rusty nail into his foot, which kept
him housed a few days. He now
gets about with the aid of crutches.
We have been playing editor, com-
positor, devil and general roustabout
this week, having a rush of job work
and no help. We hope to make ar-
rangements for help in a few days.
Farmers are busy now getting
ready for the spring planting.

Man of The People.
Hon. M. L. Turner, who is an ac-
tive candidate for the United States
senatorship of Oklahoma is distinct-
ively a man of and for the people.
Starting in life as a farmer boy in
Missouri he has, after many buffer-
ings from a rather strenuous world,
worked his way to the top. It is
just such experiences, however, that
qualify a man to better serve a con-
stituency with which he is in thor-
ough sympathy.—Oklahoman.

How to Deal With the Butcher
It is quite as true that wisdom is
money as that time is money, and
never so true as when dealing with
the butcher. To know how to buy
a piece of beef that will cost only
twenty cents but when cooked aright
will be as delicious and as nourishing
as one which cost forty cents means
money to the housewife. Many
housewives, however, do not even
know one cut of beef from another
except as the butcher labels it.
Along these lines a series of articles
in the New Idea Woman's Magazine
is giving information. Mrs. Eliza-
beth W. Morrison, the well known
writer on food topics, talks of "The
Hind Quarter of Beef" in the Feb-
ruary number, showing by diagrams
where each cut lies and following
the general treatment of the subject
by a number of good recipes,such as
pot roast and beefsteak rolls. The
future numbers will tak up veal and
lamb in the same way.
NOT THAT KIND OF TIES.
Youth Unaware of Nature of Job He
Asked For.
About 20 yeara ago, when I was In
Spokane, Wash., a young fellow was
sent there from Boston by his father
for his health, and. Incidentally, to
make hla fortune, sajra a writer In the
Boston Herald. H« worked at his
trade as a tailor Cat bis health and
gambled for his fortune. Needless to
say, he lost both, (My at that age, he
being about 19, bl was a delicate
youth.
His money and jok giving out about
the same time, h« looked around for
something to do. (Jhancing to pass
an employment office, he saw on the
blackboard, "Tie-makers wanted, 12 V4
cents apiece." He walked In, and ad-
dressed himself to the man behind the
desk, a big, raw-boned specimen, with
a fierce mustache.
"I Bee you want tie-makers, sir," he
said.
"Yes, we do, sonny; but don't you
think you are rather too light for the
job?"
"Oh, no," replied the young man.
"I can sew."
"Sew," the other roared. "Why,
great Scott! kid, these are railroad
ties!"

Excuse of Election Judge Blown Away
by Investigator.
In recalling Incidents connected
with Virginia politics some years ago
a prominent Virginian recently re-
lated an account of an Investigation
of election frauds In the lower sec-
tion of the state. In the course of
the proceedings It developed that the
ballots In an important precinct bad
not been sealed after the final count,
thereby being exposed to fraudulent
practices. The chairman of the inves-
tigating committee closely questioned
the election Judge as to why the pre-
scribed duty of carefully securing the
ballots had been neglected.
"Could you not obtain any mucilage
in the town?"
"No, sir."
"Could you not procure some seal-
ing wax, some shoemaker's wax, if
nothing else?"
"No, sir."
"Well, then, sir, why didn't you
go out Into the woods and get some
resln? Do you mean to tell me that
there were no pine trees around there
shedding tears at your infamous ras-
cality?"
Take It Easy.
Worry kills more quickly than any-
thing else. It is insidiouB, and the
poison works slowly, but it reaches.
There Isn't mucti use in repairing a
broken bridge until you get to it.
Therefore, pick a few wild flowers on
the way, and take it easy.
