I The Farmers' Elevator began to re-
| ceive wheat Monday morning. This
| elevator is sixty-six feet from the bottom
of the pit to the roof of the building and
holds, when full, fifteen / thousand bush-
els. It is fitted throughout with the
best of machinery, and is under com-
plete and easy control by the operator
the ground floor. rt contains a
I weigher and cleaner, .is well :>s a
| dumper, and is a credit to the town as
| well as to the farmers who built it.
From the top floor anyone with a glass
[ can see the country for miles in every
direction, including the towns of Man-
chester, Medford, Gibbon, and Clyde.
It is well worth while to climb the ladder
to the top floor in order to take this
view.— Wakita Herald.
Scored One Time.
The Medford foot ball team went to
( Deer Creek to play a team made up from
J that city, Nardin and Harper, Kansas,
j Our boys were never together before the
J game, and considering this draw-back,
j lhev made a remarkable showing against
J their strange opponents. The play that
j caused the score was made in the last
minute of the first half and was an acci-
dent. The work of Ed. Cobb, Will
Clark and Howard King is especially
comineudable, and with the assistance of
the other toys showed a splendid lot oi
material. The score was in favor of
Deer Creek, 5 to o. A return game will
be played.
THE SONG OF LABOR
It has been the custom heretofore to
allow all newspapers in the county a bid
for printing the county election ballots. | I sing the song of the workman,
But this time it was determined to freeze The joy of the man whose hand
all but the Pond Creek papers out. In ! Leaps to fulfill with practiced skill
order to do this Mr. O P. Dillman, j The keen, sure brain's demand;
county clerk, made it known to D. W. i Who knows the thrill of creation."
Jones in Pond Creek on Tuesday that j Who stands with the lord as one-
bids would be opened at 10 o'clock See what was wrought from hidden
SHOES, SHOES, SHOES,
No Shody Goods.
We carry the best line of men's, wo-
men and childrens' shoes in the city.
We are ready to fit out the
Harvest People
this year better than ever.
Just received a big line of men's
shirts, jumpers and overalls and in
fact a new line of everything in
L_
harvest good.

Delegate Bird McGtlire and J. H.
I | Decker spoke to the people at Medford
I Monday at the open house and a fair
sized crowd greeted them. McGuire
devoted his time to) the statehood ques-
tion and to telling of how much he ac-
complished for his Oklahoma constitu
ents, and is to be commended for one
thing, and that was his lack of abuse.
But to commend Decker would be to
I commend a man who knew not of what
lie spoke. He devoted his time
'wild cat" ideas that have become so
thread bare that it does not cover the
1 rottenness of the system.
| The Patterson Feather Company who
j opened up business here last Saturday
are doing a fine business. We called to
| see them operate their new machine and
when we say that it's the finest work of
the kind we ever saw, we onlv repeat
the statement of all who have seen it.
This company comes very highly recom-
mended by the leading citizens of Kav
county. They are not fakirs, such as
some of us have seen in the feather busi-
ness, but do business on the square and
it will pay every man and woman in
Grant county who uses feathers to see
this work.
You are invited to attend the Twin-
lerritorial Good Roads Convention to be

j ritories and an attendance of thousands
is expected. A round-trip rate of one
fare plus 25c will be made from all
points within 100 miles of Oklahoma
City.

The barn on W. P. Lacy'a farm burned
Tuesday morning. Mr. Lacy was in the
barn with a lighted lantern before break-
fast teuding to the stock, and at break-
fast time supposed he blew out the light.
But on returning after meals saw the
building in flames. Two hundred bush-
els of corn, the same of oats, and eight
tons of hay were consumed with the
granary and barn. The loss is about
$500.—Wakita Herald.
A company of merit, the Stars being
well supported and the specialties best of
the season.—Burlington (Kan. Times.—

Through W. P. Dority a trade was
made whereby T. f Godfrey trailed two
farms in the Creek Nation for the farms
of Fred Lynn and G. A. Doolittle, of
north of this city. The creek farms are
located near Holenville and are excep-
tionally adopted to corn raising as well
as other grains. Mr. Godfrey adds two
good Oklahoma l'arms to his list of
property.
j The Epworth League will give an oys-
I ter supper at the Methodist church Wed-

Wednesday morning. After Jones had
left for Medford 011 Tuesday the bids
were opened and the job given to Del-
zell. It was not an excessive rate, but
Mr. Dillman has shown that he is not
the county clerk, but is the tool of the
gang of "blood suckers" that hang
around county seats. If lie cared to
give all a show he could easily have
notified all. Dillman's incompetency is
shown by the way he figures 011 the tax
roll. Taking into consideration the way
the Democratic band wagon was run
over the Populists, we can see 110 place
for them but in the ranks of the Social-
ist party. Dillman was one of the men
who helped to run it over the Pops, and
we present to the voters of the county a
man who not only will be honest in office
but is competent to fill the office. K. C.
Thompson is a friend of the people who
produce. Yes, Dillman and his party
do (?) stand for equal rights.
thought
And man say of his work "well done!"
Others may seek for rank and wealth,
And search the wide world through-
He knows the deep where grand thought
sleep,
Which Tubal Cain once knew.
Beauty may lie in a woman's eye
And dwell on her lips so sweet—
It lives as well in the engine's swell,
And the piston's throbbing beat.
The arch which defies the river's flood,
Aud holds its waves in check,
Is lair as the line where tresses twine,
Or the curve of a snowy neck;
And he who can feel such beauty's power
And bid it live and move,
Knows a deeper bliss than a maiden's
kiss
Can give to the heart of love.
Some must lie soft and daintily feed,
Or the soul in them makes moan;

They surely come to all—
Bui ever he feels a strength that steels
His heart to the shafts that fall.
He gladly greets the coming years;
They bring him added skill,
He feels 110 ruth for the loss of youth;
His goel is nearer still;
And only this he asks of fate;
That he may keep his dower
Of strength, and will, and labor's skill
I nto his life's last hour.
