Relying on our judgment
As to vulue of the same;
So now I am a booster,
For I saw it o're and o'er
Products are there from everywhere.
And water from Claremore.
Our advice to everybody.
Is never turn it down.
But iro and sec it for yourself—
^ou will leave without a frown;
For it simply is the grandest thing
That ever struck the state;
It is not only beautiful.
But in vulue it is great.
We saw our friend, George Vincent,
To whom so mu«*h is due;
It was his unfaltering efforts
That brought the Congress through.
So let s show how we appreciate
The labor that ho gave—
Go and vidt him in Congress,
And help to swell the wave.

ROAD TO STATE SCHOOL TO BE
WORKED
J. I-. Hinpin started the movement
to improve the road to the State
School Thursday, when he placed one
team to work grading on the same.
Herbert Moore and G. D. Davis have
also donated the services of teams and
it is the intention of these gentlemen
to have this road put in first class con-
dition before the winter sets in in
earnest and their resolution is a most
commendable one, as the road is at
present in a deploraMe condition and
by dead winter would probably be un-
fit for travel.
Although these gentlemen have
started thj movement they will not,
by themsenes, be able to do all of the
work, so the assistance of each and ev-
ery citizen of Claremore is asked in
this undertaking. If you cannot
yourself do any wor': on the road, then
hire some one to take your place and
do the work for you, as the road must
l>e ret ailed and grided so that traffic
to the State School this winter may lie
possible. f you ha\ e a team that you
can spare :i day let any of the above
named men know of it tind they will do
the rest. The work will be carried on
under the capable direction of John
( haliant, Hbo will have entire charge
of the undertaking. Help to get
;hat road either hy subscription or
actual work for it is a well known
fact that it in needed.
