COMMUNITY MAUSOLEUM
In this 'issue is a page ad for the
Community Mausoleum Co of Okla-
homa Mr L E Cornu of Enid being
the manager with offices in the Bank
of Cherokee building The compar-
ison as given in this ad is very inter-
esting and should be studied by those
who would seek information regard-
ing the modern method of disposing
of our sacred dead The building as
proposed for this city is a beautiful
marble and reinforced concrete and
will add great beauty to our Silent
City For further information drop
a card to the company in 'this city
and a representative will call person-
ally and give you much interesting
data concerning the methods of
burial
NIGHT SHIFT NOW
The Messenger force was compelled
to go on night shift Wednesday owing
to the condition of the power plant
juice not being furnished during the
daylight hours This will discom-
mode our plans of working somewhat
as the force is not used to sleeping
days and it may be some time before
we are on a thorough working basis
Until the new boilers arrive and the
power plant is again in smooth running-order
it may be that the Mes-
senger will continue to be a day or
two late each week and the contents
somewhat abbreviated However we
are not the only concern working un-
der a handicap and after everything
is ironed out we’ll soon forget the
inconvenience
LOCAL DAVID AARUMS
H S Henley of the 0 K Hard-
ware went to Clinton today on bus-
iness The boys of the 0 K have
been doing considerable trading of
late and as near as our swap editor
can learn they have traded some 20
automobiles for a couple of sections
of land The first consignment of
cars was shipped to that locality re-
cently the last bunch being sent
down last week We endeavored to
find out if these particular cars were
delivered by their own power but no
satisfaction was had The makes of
cars disposed of included Pullmans
Fords Reos Maxwells DeLavals
Moore’s Nonleakable and various oth-
er makes
THE BEST WAY OUT
This warning if complied with will
save humiliation at least to four
young ladies of the city The two
young men with whom the four
ladies were riding Sunday evening
are known positively and being guil-
ty of speeding shooting within the
city limits and disturbing the peace
are hereby warned to send their rep-
resentatives to Judge Rice before six
o’clock Saturday night or charges
will be filed against the entire party
' This shooting took place in front
of my house last Sunday night at
which time one of the bullets struck
the house which is located four
blocks east of the new high school
building This warning should be
sufficient to be understood
