PARENT'S VISIT WAS
A GREAT SURPRISE
Mr. and Mrs. Browning pleasant-
I ly surprised their son and daughter
j who reside here when they arrived
! in Geary Friday morning from Eas-
! tern Tennessee. This aged couple
j had not made known their inten-
j tions of making their children a vis-
j it at this place and came all the way
alone and took them on a complete
surprise. They will probably visit
several days with their son, Dr.
Browning, and*their daughter, Mrs.
H'. H. Dively, before returning.

Many Attend Carrey's Fall Opening
The buying public usually know
when they are offered something
unusually extraordinary and are al-
ways on the alert for an opportun-
ity to s*ave money. This accounts
for the big rush of business the
Garvey Bros, store experienced last
Saturday. At all times of the day
it was not uncommon to see the
people going into and coming out
with large and numerous packages
of various necessities bought at a
great saving from the regular price
aad seemed to be well pleased with
what they purchased and the saving
they made by attending the Big
Fall Opening. You can always get
bargins at the stores who advertise
regularly. They sell more; hence
they can sell you better goods for
less money.
Another Good Rain Makes
its Appearance Wednesday
Accompanied by slight electrical
disturbance, rain began falling here
about 4:30 Wednesday afternoon
and continued falling in torrents for
practically an hour when the rain
gradually ceased yet continued to
fall at intervals all during the night.
Some say a two and a half or three
rain inch has been the result.
The mercury has fallen about 30
degrees and up to time of going to
press no indications of a rise soon
are in evidence. It is still looking
like rain and another general down-
pour is hourly expected.
Reports from all sections of the
state indicate that the rain is the
most general we have experienced
for months.

Anything in Printing at the
Journal.
We must have 500 new subscrip-
tions to the Geary Journal within
30 days and that is the reason we
are making you such an extra-
ordinary offer. Remember this
great offer is for one day only as
we cannot off ord to make it a stand-
ing affair and if you, one and all, do
not take advantage of it you, too,
will be looser. Read the big ad on
another page of this paper. There
you will find an illustration of the
silverware we are offering as a pre-
mium entirely free. If you have
time and can call at this office, we
will be pleased to show you the real
genuine article. It is guaranteed
by the Oxford Silver Co., a branch
of the famous Rogers Silverware
Co. and also by us. Remember the
silverware isn't costing you one cent,
neither is the Oklahoma Farmer
costing you anything. You are
paying $1 for the Geary Journal
and we are making you a present
of the best farm paper in this part
of the state and also the silver but-
ter knife and sugar shell. Fair
enough, isn't it? Did you ever
hear of a better offer made by any
reliable newspaper?
All it costs you is one dollar. We
had at first planned to make this
offer only to new subscribers but
while we were considering it, the
thought struck us that this would
be unfair to our old patrons and
customers and so we decided to
make the offer for renewals as well
as new subscriptions.
You can also take advantage of
this remarkable offer for your
friends, neighbors or relatives. You
could make no better present than
the elegant silverware we are of-
fering to you free and the Journal
and Farmer would be a constant re-
minder of the giver.
Remember this offer is for one
day only and we do not know now'
whether or not we will be able to
ever again make such a wonderful
offer. Saturday, September 27th,
is the date and all orders must
reach us on or before that time.
Clip out the coupon found elsewhere
in this issue and mail or bring to
this office at once to make sure of
getting these two premiums with
the Journal.
L. F. Ellis is reported on the sick
