MARJORIE BOATRIGHT
Every heart in Porter a was
saddened Tuesday when the
news spread that death had
claimed one of Porter’s dearest
little girls Marjorie Boatright
youngest daughter of Mr and
Mrs E H Boatright
Monday afternoon while play-
ing about the house her cloth-
ing caught fire from a gas stove
and in a moment it was a mass
of flame Her parents were
away at the time and several
neighbor children bravely tried
to save their playmate In fright
she ran from the house and the
burns were so severe before help
could reach her that after every
effort had been made to save
she lived but a few hours and al-
though conscious was without
suffering quietly falling asleep
Marjorie was a darling little
girl only nine years old and a
favorite with all who knew her
at home at school or wherever
she happened to be She was in
the fifth grade in school and
had unusual musical ability
Her little life will be missed
by us all but will live with ub an
example of lovely childhood -
She leaves besides her devot-
ed parents a sister Dorothy
and a brother Fred To them
we extend our tender sympathy
in thdr sad trial
Tho burial will be in Muskogee

GIFT OF PREMIUMS
WAS SPLENDID ACTION
“One of the best things Co-
weta has ever done” - "
That’s what most people say
about Coweta’s premium bestow-
al There was an immense crowd
in town on Wednesday the 15th
when the premiums were given
away the low price of cotton
was for a time orgotten and the
farmers wore the “smile that
won’t come off”
There wasn’t a hitch in the
proceedings at any stage of the
campaign — Coweta did exactly
as advertised True the town
did not increase the number of
people who trade here to any
great extent but this was due
entirely to the break in the mar-
ket prices of farm products but
under normal conditions there
is no doubt but that the prem-
ium offer would have done much
good toward bringing new busi-
ness to the town - -
At any rate the gift of the
premiums made a happy Christ-
mas for Jtwenty or more farmers
and convinced them all that Co-
weta is the town that backs the
farmer and is “for him” all the
year round
FAMILY REUNipN
Mr and Mrs Shed Sattlefield

mas dinner - Mrs Sattlefield’s

Fence For A Lifetime
-
' - 1
Poor fence posts 'are thieves They steal your money and time — time when you
can least afford to give it It costs the American farmer one hundred million
dollars every year to rplace decayed and broken fence posts 1 Most of this is
needless waste
Long-Bell creosoted posts last a lifetim You can be sure of satisfactory ser-
vice with the minimum of upkeep- Their first cost is practically the only cost
The Long-Bell method of creoSoting should not be confused with or compared
with the open tank dipping or brusn treatments for these are only temporary
forms of wood preservation By the Long-Bell hydraulic-preasure-vacuum pro-
cess the entire sapwood is impregnated with creosote and the result is “The Post
Everlasting” (
We would like to show these posts and other fencing material we have in stock

must be “non-intoxicating in
fact” although not necessarily
less than one-half of one per
cent of alcohol
