Several of the leading and most
conservative business men of Dun-
can complimented last week’s Ban-
ner by Baying that it was about the
best country weekly they ever saw

in the way of striving to keep the
paper to the front if not in advance
of progressive journalism in the In-
dian Territory than filthy lucre
Thanks friends for yonr kind words
