Another soul made happy. Frances
Drexal, of near Fairfax, was in town
one day last week and took home
one ot those celebrated Racine car-
riages handled by McLain & McGuire.
Wanted—Ail persons desiring any-
thing in the line of dry goods or ladies
and gents furnishings to be sure and
attend the Big Sale now going on at
Marx Bros., Pawnee, Oklahoma.
Just about tbe time the last ray of
hope had vanished and the Exponent
family were hanging on the ragged
end ot starvation, J. B. Quillen, our
west side neighbor, donated us a ba.«-
ket of turnips and we are now eating
three meals a day.
A. W. Cole came up from Tulsa last
Saturday to visit a day or so with
friends and find out how the Ralston
school is progressing. Mr. Cole is
deeply interested in our educational
work and it may be he will yet locate
here.
While in Pawnee last Saturday we
called on everybody we knew and
quite a number w£ didn't know. The
town was full of people from the
rural districts, loaded down with
money and prosperity. At Marx Bro ,
we found the store crowded and about
twenty clerks busy as bees waiting on
customers. We bunted up the Times-
Democrat man and found him still
wearing a smile over the result of
the election. The Ceurier-Dispatch
man was not smiling any to speak of,
but John is a good natured sort of a
fellow and is not losing much sleep
over bis defeat. In short, Pawnee is
a rattling j^ood town, tilled up with
live, energetic business men, who be-
lieve in advertising.

ITEMS FROM PAWNEE.
Times-Democrat.
Haskell is still after Roosevelt—a
long way after.
If Taft wants to make Republican
success certain in Oklahoma, let him
appoint Dennis Flynn secretary of
the interior.
According to telegraphic reports,
Missouri has just been visited by an
earthquake and "two distinct shocks
weretelt." We think that is true—
oue in 1904 and another one in 1908.
Western Democrats may just as
well begin to get ready to take their
medicine four years hence. It may
taste something like an unripe per-
simmon of course, but it will have to
be swallowed.
It Haskell is too busy in bis official
capacity to push his suits against
Roosevelt, Hearst, McGuire, etal.,
he might resign and thus devote all
bis time to questions that are not
bothering tbe defendants.
Harry Sloan, a former Pawnee coun
ty boy, has purchased the Hominy
News-Republican. It is a thrifty pa-
per, and is constantly advertising
Hominy as a thrifty town, which
means prosperity for both.
F. M. Place, of Valley, was in town
Monday, the first time since election.
His smile has sort o' begun to wear
off, and he suggests that the only way
for Haskell to dispose of that $50,000
worth of dispensary juice is for him
to announce a legal holiday and in-
vite all tbe democrats in Oklahoma
to Guthrie for the purpose of drink-
ing it up. They are in need of spirit-
ual help pretty badly just now.
Courier-Dispatch:
There is some complaint among the
farmers about Sunday bunting.
Tne farmers report roads in an ex-
tremely bad condition.
Push the creamery proposition.
There is nothing better for the far-
mers and the community.
Deputy J. M. Wise arrested George
Taylor at Terlton and secured three
gallons of booze.
Col. C. P. Rock took to the tall tim-
ber immediately after the election
and claims to be pulling stumps on
his farm up in Kansas.
A colored couple was doing tbe town
Tuesday in every way possible. They
were arrested and given until 6 p. m.
to move on, and they moved. Both
were tough cases.
The Santa Fe cement gang came in
Tuesday and began work on the side-
walks leading to the Santa Fe depot.
When this is done Pawnee may well
be proud of her depot sidewalks to
both the Santa Fe and Frisco.
Last week Lee Munson took a check
in payment of a bill from a colored
gentleman who was a stranger. The
check was worthless and Mr. Munson
followed his man as far as Tulsa, but
did not locate him.
