hello hobo!
The farmers of Oklahoma and Kan-
sas are looking anxious for harvest
hands to reap the coming wheat and
oats crop. It is significant that the
traveling gentleman of the highways
and by-ways are conspicuous for their
absence in time of need like this. But
why should they be expected to work
when the teuder-hearted women of our
; goodly land continue to hand out the

Serious Accident.
Mrs. A1 Hill, of North Hickory town-
ship met with a very painful accident
last Sunday. She was attending Child-
ren Day services at the school house
when she fell and broke her ankle bone.
She was attended to by Drs. I.V.Hardy
and R. E. Calhoun of this city.
Gov. Haskell has succeeded at last in
having Attorney General West on his
side of the case. In the dispnt over the
capital removal question, the Attorney
General appears before Judge Huston
and argued in favor of the action taken
by Governor Haskell in removing the
state offices to Oklahoma City.
Rev. Will Whicker, pastor of the Bap-
tist church at Hawley, came over last
Saturday and preached for the Baptist
church in this Sabbath morning and eve-
ning. We received a pleasant call from
him on Saturday and were very glad to
see him as he is an old Caldwell boy in
whom we have felt more than ordinary
interest. He has a very nice charge at
Hawley.
Cards were received the past week
announcing the marriage of Miss Vida
Thompson and Mr. Harvey T. Muller,
at Newkirk, on Thursday, June 2, The
bride was one of the publishers of the
Deer Creek Anchor and the groom is a
prominent young farmer of this county.
Their home will be at Renfrow. The
young couple certainly have our best
wishes for their future happiness and
prosperity.
Miss Ja Thompson, editor of the Deer
Creek Anchor and Miss Hattie Wilkin-
son, of Deer Creek, were in town last
Saturday and called at this office. Since
the marriage of her sister, who assisted
her in publishing the paper, Miss
Thompson has concluded to sell the An-
chor and is offering it for sale. Under
the management of the Misses Tuomp-
son the Anchor has always been a new-
sy, readable local paper.

who don't want a live town. They
don't want new people to come in
