Next Saturday is the day to
cast your vote for Harmon
County.
Hicks can't forecast weather
for Oklahoma. I lis prophecies
look like thirty cents in the pres-
once of an Oklahoma sandstorm.
The greatest thing in the
world is independence—the abil-
ity to say your own is your own
Vote for independence next Sat
urday.
It is not denied that neighbor
counties are running on less ex-
penses than Greer county. Then
what is the use of fighting the
new county?
One of the worst sandstorms
of the seasons came up Friday
of last week, and continued all
day. People who have been here
for several years say that this
was a very forcible reminder of
theoldtime Oklahoma.
Old Greer County, Oklahoma,
has been again divided and this
time a lary.e slice has been cut
off on the west and named" Har-
mon county. Hollis is the coun-
ty seat. The County is named
after Gov. Harmon, who was
Cleveland's attorney general
when Greer county was taken
from Texas. The present Greer
county contains only about o{ie
fourth what was in the former
county—Memphis (Texas) Her-
ald.
The Cosmopolitan Magazine
lms the first of a series of three
articles in its Mav number, en-
titled "Blasting at the Rock of
Age.^." The author spent two
yearsvisiting the leading colleges
and universities in America, and
has some startling doctrines to
expose. Among these are that
custom and not conscience gov-
erns right; that the home as an
institution is doomed; that there
is more morality without than
within the marriago bonds; that
the Ten Commandments were
not of divine origin. If the great
sc hools are teaching these doc-
trines it is right that the people
should ku w it, for back of all
sentiment is the promulgator of
the theory.
Dr. E. A. Abernathy, one of
the leading physicians of Hollis,
was in the city Tuesday, prepar
ing to move his family to this
place. Dr. Abernathy has form-
ed a partnership with Dr. G. B.
Miller in the practice of medi
cine here, and will begin work as
soon as he can get moved over
and settled. The doctor is one of
the best physicians and surgeons
in Western Oklahoma, and will
be a distinct addition to the ranks
of the medical profession in
Altus. The Times extends him
a cordial welcome.—Altus Times.

sephene Skapgs, Aurora, Mo.

riously injured.
Mrs. Hilton has been visiting
at Yeliville, Ark., getting plenty
of strawberries to eat The ber-
ries here in Missouri are looking
fairly well, and beginning to get
ripe. * Very truly yours,

tles of Electric Bitters. For
thirty years Kidney trouble made
life a burden, but the first bottle
