J. W. Jewett cin give you cheaper
insurance rates than any agency.
Call on him.
Judge the future by the past, but
don't take anybody's word for the
present.
Woman's rights are respected in
Boston, where a man was arrested
for laughing at a woman's hat. A
man can't help but laugh sometimes.
Don't try to make the weather,
just keep busy trying to fit your work
into the weather an all wise prov-
idence provides and all will come out
right in the end.
Uncle John D. must be going to
organize a boarding house trust; the
Standard Oil Co. has perfected a
process to make butter out of crude
oil.
The Backwell Lumber Company
of Spokane has bought 30,000 acres
of timber land in northern Idaho from
the Menasha Woodenware Company
tor 52,250,000.
Another folding bed has devoured
a victim. You can never tell when
the blamed things are plotting mur-
der, and yet there are folks who
still have them around.
W. A. Howell, secretary of the
State Fruit Growers' Association, is
in St. Louis and reports that Okla-
homa potatoes are selling on the
market there for 80 cents per bushel,
and are the best on that market.
On the 23rd day of August County
Treasurer Elliott will sell lots and
blocks in every town in the county
on which taxes are due for the years
of 1901, 1902, 1903 and 1904. A
number of lots in Carney are adver-
tised tor delinquent taxes.
As Chandler is to have the first
Petrolitic pavement constructed in
the state, we are expecting the very
b est job that can be done with Petrol-
itic material, and also expecting
prominent citizens and councilmen of
a number of Oklahoma towns to visit
us and look this proposition over with
a view of adopting this kind of pave-
ment.—News-Publici st.
EIGHT YEARS OLD.
Last week closed the eighth year
of the publication of the Enterprise
and today we enter upon the ninth
year of its publication. Six years
ago the present publisher came to
Carney and purchased the plant and
for six long years, rain or shine, the
paper has never failed to reach its
patrons on time. It has been our
aim to give the home news first and
the general news in a condensed
form and if in any measure we have
not reached whatever standard you
may have thought we should be
measured by, it has been due to cir-
cumstances over which we had no
control, and through errors of the
head and not of the heart.
Under the present management
this paper has been a staunch advo-
cate of every interest that would
tend to build up our little city. It
has always been ready to say a good
word for the town and vicinity,
knowing that the merits of a town is
of no use unless known.
We have tried to give the people
of Carney a good local paper and
we appreciate the support they have
accorded us. It does not take much
support from each Individual to make
a paper a success, but if that support
is not accorded it, there can be but
one result —the paper dies.
Again we thank our patrons ; you
have stood by us and we have tried
to stand by you. We will do our
utmost during the coming year to
give you a better paper, and candidly
ask you to give us your support as
you did the past year. As the town
grows and oar business increases we
will add improvements to our office
and equipments, and will try_to make
the Enterprise second to no paper in
the county.
M. A. Smith representative of the
State Agency,who has been gathering
up the adjucated contraband liquor
captured at Oklahoma City reports
that a car load consisting of 190 bar-
rels of beer, 70 caaes of whisky and
some other liquor were shipped to
Gainesville,Texas, Tuesday and sold
to the same firm that has bought all
of the other confiscated goods belong-
ing to the state. The money derived
from this sale will be used to further
prosecute violators of the prohibitory
law. Mr. Smith also disposed of 10
refrigerators, 45 tubs, 2 barrels of
glasses and 22 barrels of empty bot-
tles all of which had been captured
in Oklahoma City.
Representatives Payne of New
York declares an income tax will
make us a "nation of liars." Con-
sidering promise and fulfilment of
nine-tenths of our National law mak-
ers it will make no change in their
customary habits.
The negroes will hold a three days
picnic at the Perkins Park on Monday
Tuesday and Wednesday, August 2,
3 and 4, 1909. Among the attrac-
tions to entertain, they advertise
speaking by the leading orators of
the southwest, plenty of barbecued
meat, three games of ball, ?. merry-
go-round, a dance pavillion, pie eat-
ing contest, climbing greased pole,
foot races and other amusements too
numerous to mention.—Perkins Jour-
nal.
Steps are being taken by the pos'-
office department to have new postal
cards issued. It is claimed that our
cards are much inferior to those of
the European countries. It is thought
there will be changes also in the de-
sign, which will make the cards more
attractive than those now being is-
sued. No other country begins to
approach us in the general use of
postal cards, the cause being that
American merchants use such"vast
numbers for advertising and other
purposes.
Join the boosters' club and give
your neighbor a good boost every
chance you get. You will be sur-
prised how many boosts you will get
in return for-the favors you bestow
upon others. That is a poor motive '
for extending the helping hand, but
nevertheless such service always
brings its rewards.
Gov. Johnson, of Minnesota, is
quoted as saying in a recent address :
"I hope to see the time when women
will join with their husbands in polit-
ical affairs. Where woman is, the
atmosphere is better, and politics
would be better with her refining in-
fluence.
Some senators and representatives
will need more "protection" than the
new tariff bill provides, to save them
from a betrayed constituency when
they ask a renewal of their lease on
congressional perquisites.
Castro has discovered the vanity
of bluffing when the other fellow
knows your hand.
Maybe you've never noticed if,
but it is not alway-s the man who
carries the lint from the pew carpet
or his knees, or who wears a long
drawn and sau-timorious counte-
nance who helps his fellow men,
booms his town with his support,
financial or moral, or who can see a
widow or an orphan in need—even if
somebody pulls him by the sleeve
and points them out. One hidebound,
barnatled old hypocrite we have in
mind right now, who, to our certain
knowledge, never did a good or char-
itable deed in his life without first
asking if it would cost him anything.
In all the time we have known him
we have never seen his name on a
subscription list to help any needy
person; we have never heard cf his
donating a dollar to any public enter-
prise, to help the town on any prop-
osition, or to even make good as a
human. Yet he poses as a good cit-
izen, a pillar of the church, and pulls
on a cloak of self-sanctity that would
make St. Peter resign his job and
turn it over to him, if Peter didn't
know him a blamed sight better than
mo t of the citizens of Ada. He will
not see this unless he borrows the
Democrat from some neighbor or
swipes one from the counter, for he
is too cussed stingy to take the lo
cal paper.—Ada Democrat.
A Kentucky paper gives the follow-
ing account of recent marriages in
that state ; "A marriage ceremony
in Kent county united five sisters to
five brothers. Misses Maude, Nel-
lie, Kate, Anne and Susie Martin
were married to John, Dan, Hugh,
Jack and Dick Hill. Five sisters
acted as bridesmaids and five broth-
ers of the bridegrooms acted as best
men. It was proposed to follow the
wedding with a honeymoon for the
happy couples to extend to St. Louis
but the lateness of the crops preven-
ted the men members from leaving
home at this time.
Does the ugly chorus girl come
under the head cf "stage frights?'

Good Values. j
We think we have built up a reputation for better values !]
in bhoes than any one else in this locality.
We have now a larger and more complete stock of shoes
than we have ever had before.

and shall continue to strive to merit ycur patronage by
giving you good goods at prices that can't be beat by any
merchant in Lincoln county.
We want your trade ; remember if you trade elsewhere
we both lose money.
