ORGANIZATION NOW UNDER WAV.
A meeting was held at the City
Hall last Friday night to take
steps toward forming an organiza-
tion for perfecting plans and rais-
ing money to he used in the new
county proposition now of great
interest to all farmers of south
Lincoln county ami adjoining ter-
ritory as laid, out and stated in
the Uecord of last week.
The meeting was called to order
Iiv Frank S. Nepper, who slated its
object and purpose. Lpon motion,
(ieo. C. Barber was elected tem-
porary chairman and !•'. S. NVp-
per temporary secretary. A tem-

ed, and the following committees
elected.
Committee 011 solicitation: \V.
II. limit, .1. II. Patterson, .1. M.
Barrett, L. 1!. Hampton, C. C.
Bush. This committee is to in-
terview every business man in
town and as many citizens as pos-
sible in regard to the new county
proposition anil to get out a full
1atientlarioe_~aT" Tile" next meeting,
time and place to be designated tiv
the committee.
Committee on Finance: L. TV
Hampton, \Y. (!. Botts, J110. Ur-
ban.
'I hat the matter is now growing
real warm and interesting is
proven by the fact that business
men and citizens as well as fann-
ers are now discussing the mat-
ter front every angle and when-
ever they meet. Thus far not a
dissenting voice has been raised
against the movement by anv re-
sponsible •farmer and reports com-
ing in from the "outside edges"
of the affected district show- the
popularity of the movement. This
is a matter where everv citizen!
and farmer is a "booster" 11111! t h-• |
spirit of harmony and unison is!
rated at the loll mark.
Dr. M. A. Warhurst, of Slvvaii. I
says: "l!v all means let us hue;
the new county. Our people arc!
handicapped for a market and for
a county seat the way we are sit-
uated in Seminole county, and
with a united movement for good
roads and bridges with the county
seat at Prague, we will have easy
access to market and can transact
our business and go back home in
one day. whereas we now require
two to three days to transact busi-
ness at our county seat. Wewoka.
I am ready to take olV my coat
and so are my friends and pat-
rons to help the new county move-
ment along.''
,T. W. Cansler, the leading mer-
chant of Payson, says: "I believe
th<' movement to be a good one,
and will help ill its cause."
J. IT. Patterson, of this city
says: "While T do not expect to
be a gainer by the movement if it
succeeds, yet I am ready to help
not, only with my talk and hands,
but, also with my finances. Count
me in on the matter for every
inch of energy in me."
Clias. Tedford, of this city says:
"It is a. proposition that will en-
hance the values of farm lands and
other property 100 per cent, and it
will be the means of the farmers
of tho affected district to secure
a better and quicker market for
their products and enable them to
see where their tax money is go-
ing. Yes, 1 am for the new coun-
ty—count me in."
Dave Barrett, citizen and cotton
buyer, says: "We must all got
right into the game, not only for
the benefit of the farmer, but to I
provide us all with good roads and
bridges thus giving us a quicker,
better market. The new comity
is what we want."
•I. D. (Irimes, merchant, says;
"The new county proposition is a
thing we can't afford not to work
for. It will mean the saving of
time, labor and much income:
icnee to farmers and town people
if the movement is successful. I
am for it."
•T. L. McDowell, merchant, -av--
"Its what we have been needing
every since statehood, and now is
the time for us to go after it.'
S. Kulodiiv, iucrduuu: "i •otml
me in for any thing that is for
the good of the country, and I
believe this to be the thing that
will give us the greatest good."
A. P. Slover, banker: "It is
a movement that is worthy of a-
sistance and of great benefit to all
—1 11111 with you."
A. Smith, farmer, near Paden'
"It will be a big help to us if we
can get the new county; I am foi
here said lie thought the new
county idea was all right. Thinks
it a good tiling- Mr. Davis is one
of Paden'* best citizens, 11 fann-
er, been mayor of the town and
held various offices in the place.
J. A. Burch, of Paden, wants to
see tlnvt all the interests of the
people of the proposed new count v
are protected in regard to the
bridges and court houses and other
public property wherein th*re have
been bonds issued for the pay-
ment of the same guaranteed by
the territory of the county in
which same has been erected. Mr.
Burch shows good business in this.
He said he could not see how any
mail in Prague could be opposed
to it. That he wants to investi-
gate the thing thoroughly and if it
shows right he is in for it all over.
We have investigated and such talk
is in the right line. We do not
want any one to go into this
blindly. Mr. Burch is a merchant
of Paden doing a leading busi-
ness.
T. C. Shelby, of Mt. Hope is in
favir of the new county. Looks-
all right to him. He lives in a
territory that knows the truth of
the statements which have been
made in the Record.
J. If. Hudiburg, living north
of Keokuk Falls, says he thinks
the new county all right. He will
be with us in the movement.
•Jas. B. Snyder, farmer, in speak-
of it, is almost assured, and the
thing to do is for us to get right
down to business aud get what
we go after, for its there for us.
Arc we going to get it or are we
going to let it go by?
SPECIAL MEETING.
A meeting of tlie soliciting com-
mittee was held in the Prague
National bank offices last Tuesday
afternoon. The gentlemen of this
committee arc enthusiastic for new
county. It was decided to bold a
mass meeting next Monday night.
The public are earnestly invited to,
be present at this meeting. It 1
the purpose of the promoters of tin
new county scheme to give the
facts to the public at this time.
Every body should know just what
there is to it. It is now or never.
We must get- behind and boost or
lie down and say defeat is our
portion. We can get the county
if we want it. How badly we
want it is the question of the day.
If you are in favor of the new
county come out and let it be
known. If you are against it come
out and show your colors. We
want to know who will be in our
ranks working for a better county
to live in. Come to the meeting
next Monday night.
