discuss the cotton situation, and
to endeavor, if possible, to find
ways and means for handling the
present crop and provide better
market facilities.
This is a matter that concerns
all of us-the farmer most, per-
haps, but it is a problem that is
just now effecting the whole
commercial world, and keen in-
terest in working out some feas-
ible plan of storing and market-
ing is being manifested every-
where and by all classes.
A large attendance is expected
and it is to be hoped that some
satisfactory conclusion will be
reached whereby the farmers can
see their way clear for systemat-
ic efforts in caring for the pres-
ent crop.

An entertainment Monday
night at the home of Mr. and

R. E. Lee at one time owned
the farm one mile north of town,
now the property of H. D. Por-
ter, where he lived with his fam-
ily for several years. The past
few years they have been living
on a place belonging to their son,
W. C. Lee, seven miles east of
Mountain Park.
Tuesday last the old gentle-
man, his wife and one or two of
the children concluded to go
down in the field to the melon
patch, following a little branch
skirted with small timber and
brush. On the other side of this
branch, with a target rifle in
hand, was the son, W. C. Lee,
returning from the home of a
neighbor. He fired at a rabbit,
the ball penetrating the body of
his own mother.
The aged lady was carried
home and given every attention
possible but died from the ef-
fects of the gun shot wound the
Sunday following. The remains
were brought to Sentinel Monday
and at 2 o'clock that evening were
laid to rest in Sentinel cemetery,
where other members of the
family had before been buried.

Our Store Moved From 3rd Street to

I thank my patrons very much for the liberal patronage
that you have given me, and ask a continuance of the same.
I have sold goods on a credit for six months. I cannot credit
the year round. I did that against the advice of my best
friends, but conditions have arisen that necessitates me get-
ting on a cash basis. Our government finances and cotton
market are two of the things we dread most. At this time we
don't know what the outcome will be. I am in a position to
sell you goods as cheap, if not cheaper than anyone in Sentinel.
I would like to figure with you on either small or large bills.
We are not putting on a special sale, but give the following
as some of our regular money saving prices:
Sugar, 14 lbs. (if you buy $1 worth of other .goods) for $1.00

O. C. Hartzog is the new man-
ager of the Baker gin in Senti-
nel. He came over, surveyed
the field and hiked back to Sayre
Sunday, where he was the chief
witness in a brief ceremony- a
ceremony that made O. C. Hart-
zog and Miss Clyde Clay hus-
band and wife. The newly mar-
ried couple go to housekeeping
in one of the Porter houses on
Capitol Hill.

The three cotton gins at Senti-
nel are ready for business, buy-
ers are anxious to get in the
ring, but the cotton is not com-
ing to market. The European
war is having a demoralising ef-
fect, and now is the time for the
stock gamblers to profit by the
misfortune of their fellow man.
Such conditions should not be
tolerated by this government of
ours.
All shoe manufacturers have
sent out notices of advances on

Revival Meeting Glosed.
The big protracted meeting of
the Baptist folks at Spring Creek
closed last Thursday night, with
thirty-six additions to the church.
Rev. Pruitt, of Dallas, Texas,
conducted the meeting, assisted
by the local pastor, W. A. Smith.
At 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon,
in a fine pool in the John Wright
pasture, these converts were bap-
tized by ReV. Walter Smith, in
Auto Accident.
Daddy Wright, father of Mel,
John and Nathaniel Wright,
while on his way Sunday night
to preaching at Spring Creek
church, was run down by the car
of Ted Irvine and seriously in-
jured.
Mr. Wright lives with his son
near by and was walking, with a
good many others going the same
way. Those walking in the road,
we are informed, heard the car
approaching* and stepped to one
side to allow it to pass, but Mr.
Wright failed to get clear of the
track and was struck by the ra-
diator, knocked to the ground
and the front wheel of the car
passed over his body.
With nothing but star-light to
guide him, the driver saw the
danger and tried to stop the car
and prevent the accident, but
was unable to do so.
The wounded man was taken
up by his many friends and car-
ried to his room. A 'phone mes-
sage was immediately sent for
Dr. Harris at Sentinel, who went
out and dressed the wounds.
The old gentleman, although
76 years of age, seemed to have
sufficient reserve force to rally
from the shock and gave evi-
dence of gaining strength, but
the last announcement, received
just before going to press, gives
little hopes of his recovery.
You w,ill trade with us later,
why not begin now.
S. P. Foster.
Socialist Meetings.
A bunch of Socialists went out
to Port Sunday afternoon to hear
John A. Currie, the noted speak-
er from San Antonio, Texas.
They report a fair-sized and at-
tentive audience and declare the
lecture-sermon a ' 'top-notcher.''
Comrade Currie takes the Bible
to prove that no capitalist-mind-
ed partyite can, by any hook or
crook, harmonize the teachings of
that book with his actions today.
And he gives this truth in such a
manner that no one can take of-
fense. He is a power on the ros-
trum and ought to be kept busy
in Oklahoma until the November
election.
Comrade Currie spoke at Port
Monday and Tuesday nights, al-
so, and will fill dates in Washita
county as follows;
At Clord Chief picnic, Sep-
tember 9 and 10.
At Star picnic, September 11
and 12.
Novice school house, at night,
September 13 and 14.
After this he will be ready for
dates anywhere in this or adjoin-
ing counties. Five dollars per
day will catch him, with a lec-
turein the afternoon and again
