Why send away for your carpets

same money.
A tramp painter has been busy part

So eager are the people to know
both sides of the Haskell-West con-
troversy, which is being spot-lighted
to public gaze by the Oklahoma City
Times, that Omer Benedict, its edi-
tor, announces that subscriptions are
rolling in at the rate of five hundred
a week.
In order that no one who is interest-
ed in the all-absorbing question in Ok-
lahoma, may not be without an un-
muzzled fair and square newspaper:.
The Times has announced that The
Daily Tithes will be sent to all who
desir^ it for $1 from now until the first
of January, 1901). Subscriptions should
be sent direct to The Oklahoma City
Times company or will be taken at
this office.

J. M. HENKEL, Proprietor

ready sold 2000 bushels of corn and!
has 5000 bushels yet to dispose of.
Sol Pingry, who has been visiting
his uncle, Dr. Pingry, left Thursday
afternoon for his home near Silver-
dale, Kansas.
B. P. Foster and Will nigh have

ing improvements to Albert Mc-
Gnire's livery barn.
You not only save money but you
get the best groceries in town when
you trade with Finley Bowls.
The public schools will begin Mon-
day, September 7th. The school'ouild-
ing has been put in good shape. Old
school books will be used until ex-
change for new ones can be made.
We understand that Ed Bryant is
going to move his Pawhuska barber
shop back to Ralston. This town
is prettv well supplied with barber
shops and we doubt very much wheth-
er another shop will pay here.
The only democratic paper in Ok-
lahoma that defends C. N. Haskell
in his effort to protect the Prairie
Oil Co. in its endeavor to violate the

We have been advocating the pro-
priety of a corn carnival at Ralston
in honor of the completion of the river
bridge, and would now like to have an
expression from the people.
A special meeting has been called
for Monday, August 31, 1908, to meet
at the school house at 2 p. m. for the
purpose of voting an additional school
tax levy. Those who feel able to stand
additional taxes can support the
measure, and those who feel that they
are burdened already by taxation can
vote against it. Let all the taxpayers
and others interested, be sure and be
there.
Finley Bowls has the best and
treshest evaporated fruit in town.
Leave your laundry at the barber
sh >p not later than Tuesday evening
as the basket is sent off Wednesday
forenoon.

Last week the Free P.*ess reported
a babv at the home ot Mr. and Mrs.
Peck Ren. Peck tells us that if any-
thing of this kind hashappened at his
house his wife and kid are keeping
mighty quiet about it
Miss Grace Simpson, of Manhattan,
Kan., and Eldred Wilson, of Morning
Sun, Iowa, left Monday for Manhat-
tan, after visiting for a week or more
with O. O. Simpson and wife.
While seining in the Arkansas river
last Saturday Grover Smith, of near
Fairfax, was drowned. The body was
not found until Sunday morning. The
remains were buried Monday and sev-
eral from here attended the luueral.
J. G. McGuire and Miss Fannie Fos-
ter were married in Kansas City last
Saturday, returning to Ralston on
the following day. The contracting
parties are well and favorably known
in this locality and their many friends
here wish them a happy and prosper-
ous life.
Giles Horn's eyes, face and hands
were pretty badly swollen the first of
the week. This is not the result of
attending an Irish wake, as some may
surmise, but a simple case of coming
in contact with poison ivy.
The Woodmen enjoyed a picnic on
the river west of town Thursday. A
number from here attended and from
what we can learn everybody present
had a good time and plenty to eat
and drink— we mean water.
M. L. Walker, cashier of the First
National bank of Stillwater, Oklaho-
ma, and a brother of E. L. Walker of
Ralston, was robbed of $10,(KK) in bank
drafts the first of this week in Mon-
tana while enroute by stage to Yel-
lowstone Park. This ought to be a
lesson to all Oklahomans to conceal
their identity while away from home.
It is money the highwayman wants
and he has long since found out that
people from Oklahoma always tote
the filthy lucre in their jeans.
Why send to catalogue houses for
jewelry when you can buy the ssme
goods from Simpson, the Ralston jew-
eler for the same price?
A neat sign now adorns the front ot
the Bank of Commerce and other im-
provements that have been added
will tend to make the now home ot
this populer institution both attrac-
tive and comfortable.
The Farmers Union met last Satur-
day in the opera house for the pur-
pose of perfecting plans and securing
a suitable location lor a cotton gin.
We failed to learn just what steps
were taken in the premises, but feel
safe in stating that tee gin will be
built.

tie Crum, who has been on sick re-
port for several days, is able to be up

WALL PAPER
Nothing adds to or detract*
from the cheerfulness of a
room more than Wall Paper.
The furnishings serve to em-
bellish the decorative effect;
but the Wall Paper is the
most conspicuous feature of
the room and reflects the ar-
tistic taste of the occupant.
Satisfactory selections can-
not be made from a limited
assortment; the best results
we obtained by comparison.
Alfred Peats "Prize" Wall
Papers for 1908 offer the
widest range of choice, from
the cheapest that's good to
the best that's made.
