A Merry Christmas!
Remember the poor
Be as cheerful as possible
Peace on earth good will tow-
ard men
Thanks for a community in
which our people as a whole are
dwelling in peace and harmony
UnlessWalt Ferguson is an
awful liar there is certainly
something sensational happening
every day in the week up in his
division of the great salt plains
If it was as much trouble for
the other fellow to get off hi s
present to us as it was for u-s
to cet ours off to him we wish
that next year he would just keep
his durned old present
We don’t want to seem impati-
ent with Gov Bob but really it’s
time the public were knowing
just what John Hickam is to get
for his part in securing the elec-
tion of our new executive
As another evidence of Oklaho-
ma’s great wealth she produced
more postoffice robberies in 1914:
than any state in the Union This
class of financiers usually know
where the easiest money is
We have read a great deal
about this European war in an
effort to locate the blame but the
more we read the nearer we
reach the conclusion that the
whole bunch are as mean as the
devil
In these joyous holiday days
of 1911 there is one thmg not
nearly as bad as it might be and
that is the “liker” question
While the supply is not what it
should be the quality is better
Jhan for many years
As you admire your stock of
Christmas presents don’t lose
sight of the fact that pernaps
half of them were sent not from
choice but just because I reck-
on I’ll have to send her some-
thing she always sends me
something”
John Hickam has been sued
for a $120 print bill We were
afraid John’s progressive stunt
’ would get him into trouble How-
ever our long acquaintance with
him convinces us “
honestly owed the printer $1-0
it would be paid without a law
80k -
That beautiful young Chero-
kee princess seems to have put
one over on Tammany s old time
leader Uncle Dick Croker when
she scheduled as 23 so says a
number of Cherokee “others and
just a few grandmothers who
were school mates of the little
rincess some thirty-five years
ago
We are glad to see Gov Bob
hand out his choice plums to
east side men which is perfectly
proper No need to worry about
the west side democrats they ’ll
continue to vote’r straight any-
way It is not our say how Governor
Williams shall run the affairs of
state nor whom he shall appoint J
to assist him but this we can and i
do say John Fields would have
carried Wagoner county had it
not been for the persistent and
pernicious activity of Senator
Jim Sutherlin
A woman will buy pack and
get off 25 dainty useful little
Christmas presents and forget
about it before a man can buy
and get off one dinkey present
which when wrapped up will look
like a bundle for the rag man
and when it yeaches the far dis-
tant loved one-will probably find
a speedy resting place in the
rash cam
Glad Christmas of 1914 is with
us and finds the average citizen
about as usual — hard up In fact
every Christmas for twenty-five
years has found us short and
every Christmas for twenty-five
years we have faithfully promis-'
ed ourself that by another
Christmas we would have
things in better shape but not
so it is ever about the same
The closing day of Santa’s
campaign has been a most
gloomy one The day could hard-
ly be more dismal with a heavy
fog and frequent showers of cold
rain However many Christmas
shoppers are down iD town and
everybody appears to be in a I
good humor What tomorrow
may bring forth in the weather
line no one can even guess
A Christmas Carol

1 Pass the minstrel throngst
Hark They play so sweet
On their hautboys Christmas songs
Let us by the fin

i Every day the chimes
Loud the gleemen sing
In the streets their merry rhymes
Let us by the fin
Ever higher
Sing them till the night exptnt
5HEPHERDS at the grange
When the Babe was bom
Sang with many a change
Christmas carols until mom
Let us by the fin

Sing them till the night expint
' THESE good people sang
I Songs devout and sweet
While the rafters rang
Then they stood with fneztng feel
Let us by the fin '
Ever higher
Sing them till the night expinl
A TUNS In frigid cells

For Want of something else
Christmas songs at times have tried
Let us by the fin
Ever higher
Sing them till the night expinl
TTHO by the fireside stands
Vr Stamps his feet and sings
But he who blows his hands
Not so gay a carol brings
Let us by the fin
Ever higher
Sing them till the night exptnt
