Open Letter from
Colored Teacher
Hartshorne Okla., July 10, 08.
To the Board of Education, of
the City ofHartshorne:
Itake this method of thanking
you for your kindness to me in
selecting me as principal of the
city school. I appreciate the
honor, and will always hold you
in esteem for this position. I
have always tried to do my
duty and treat those in author-
ity, with honor. I honor the
white people of our town. I
spend tny money here. I own a
home here. My interests are
here.
But, you will find a snake
crawling in the grass to deprive
me of the principalship of this
school. I call on you to protect
me, not because I'm a negro, but
because of the stand I take for
right. Some of the dirty class
of negroes, are circulating a pe-
tition for my removal as princi-
pal. This class of negroes is
trying to run the white man's
business. They can't read three
lines of poetry correctly, and are
trying to advise the white man
what to do.
Some of the best white men in
town selected me as principal,
and I know the}' will not change
their plans in running the school
for ignorance.
Yours as elected principal col-
ored school,
E. C. VANHoks
Registration

in the second ward are hereby

5:30 p. ui. and 9 p. m. all next
week. Come and register.
R. L. Jackson,
Inspector.

BIG JULY
vLEARIING SALE
from July 15 id July 25
Beginning Saturday morning we inaugurate a
Great Clearing Sale which will positively surpass any-
thing heretofore attempted in special value giving.
The public has been taught that the New York Store
offers greater inducements to its many patrons than
any other store in Hartshorne. Our great Red Tag
Sale which we concluded July 4th was a big success
and helped up to dispose of thousands of dollars worth
of surplus stock but there are still greater quantities
of seasonable goods upon our shelves and counters
which we are anxious to dispose of at once and we
have cut the prices so deep that even those not in
need of goods will find it hard to resist buying. Many
odd lots and broken lines of summer goods will be
marked down to actual hali pricc in order to effect
a complete clearance. Remember that the greater
part of the summer season is still before us and you
will need the very goods which we now offer at prices
which mean great savings to you. Take advantage of
this Great July Clearing Sale.

Trolley League
Is Organized
At a meeting of the following
representatives of the following
teams: Uithlaclub, K. DcLaMat-
er, mgr., Krebs, R. W. Varlcy,
mgr., Choctaw Railway and
Lighting Co., George Graft,
mgr., Red Sox, Tom Abbott,
mgr., Hartshorne, F. IS, Pitch-
ford, mgr., Haileyville, A. B.
Jarvis, it was decided to or-
ganize a league known as the
Trolley League to be composed
of the aforesaid teams.
This league is to have a presi-
dent with authority to settle all
disputes or any matters pertain-
ing to said league. Also to have
a secretary and treasurer to
attend to all correspondence and
financial duties of the said
league.
It was decided that five per
cent of the net receipts of each
game shall be put into a sinking
fund and same to be in charge of
the secretary and treasurer of
said league and at the end of the
schedule shall be played for by
the two leading teams, the team
having the highest percentage
to be awarded the pennant.
All games will be played ac-
cording to schedule agreed on by
managers of said teams.
All games shall be played for
sixty and forty per cent.
We understand that Mr. Bus-
by has agreed to transport the
boys over the trolley line to and
from games free of chargc. This
is all-right, but if Hartshorne ex-
pects to stay in the game, some
provision will have to be made
for ti park anrl grand stand.
