On the inside of this paper will be
found a synopsis of the presidents
message which is in its entirety is very
lenghty. The president is very strong-
ly in favor of single statehood, and
urges congress to dilly dally no lung-
er over the matter. We have strong
hopes of statehood; but as there is
"many a slip betwixt the cup and lip"
we may not receive this great boon at
the hands of the present congress.
We are pleased lo note that Oen. Nel
sou A. Aliles has come out against foot
ball as it is played in the U. S. If that
rugged old soldier is "ferninst" the
game it should surely be modified and
civilized. Why people will condemn
fislic encounters known as prize fights
then stand up f it foot ball is beyond
our comprehension. More young men
are crippled maimed for life, or killed
every year playing this game than iu
all the piize fights there ever lias been
since America was settled. Then in the
pugilistic ring there is only one to do
the hurting while in foot ball there is
one to get hurt and a dozen to hurt him
Several college towns are advocating the
abolition of the game asil Is now pla
We hope that public sentiment will be
so aroused that the begining of the end
is in sight.
The Star would impress upon our
people, more especially our business men
the necessity of pulling in a sewerage
system at an early date, the earlier the
better, for both health anil convenience
Thai this can be done at a nominal cost
goes without saying, as there will be but
little piling to do, will be readily seen
when you lake a look east 011 Cherokee
avenue. Substantial brirk gutters can
be put down from Second Steet, along
either side of Cherokee Ave. east to
Front street. Then it will be necessary
to lay sewer pipes, with sufficient capac
ity to carry off the water that comes, un-
der the right-of-way of the Kock Island
to a point just east of McConnels livery
barn, from which point the water can
be carried through ditches to the rreek
just east of the city limits. That this is
a much needed improvement will be
readily admitted by every property own-
er of Medford, as lateral ditches and
gutters, both north and south of Chero-
kee Ave, could be put in to carry the
water from the entire city. We hope the
city council will take this tnit'e- u;> and
if possible complete the work e.irly next
spring. It is badly needed.
Monthly Report of Medford Schools.
A four day's vacation at thanksgiving
has greatly refreshed us all. The lower
grades all give progruns on Wednesday
afternoon, which were generally attend
ed by patrons of the school. Mr. Aikins
of the board, beamed upon us in a fath
erly way. The little people did them-
selves proud. An orchestral selection
by three little boys, in Miss Renshaw's
room, was an exercise provocative of
great admiration. Blessed be boys who
can do things in music—and will!
The play-ground gets but little rest-
even in muddy weather. The older boys
resting upon their well-won laurels a
Wakita, kick the fool ball about and
scramble to catch it. The small ant
very sweet,little girls of the a-b abs, pla)
"bear," a delightfully dangerous pas
time, in which one is in constant dan-
ger of being hauled off to a bear's den to
wait for deliverance. Oue very large
bear (comparatively speaking) has
way of picking up the babes in his paws
and carrying them to his den instead of
pulling them as tne smaller ones do
Class work gets better as the year
wanes. History and grammar are still
the stumbling blocks in the eighth grade
but persistent pounding away 011 bed-
rock principles is having itj inevitable
effect. The beginning Latin class is
getting to feel a little more at home with
their vocabularies and verbs and all
such troublesome things. But, friends,
and fathers and mothers, if you want to
give yourself a real, live, pleasurable
sensation, just visit the general history
class, from 1:40 to 2:05 p. m. The ex-
periences of those valiant old Romans
their struggles, defeats ami triumphs, as
told by these enthusiastic young people,
are stories of entertaining imert-st.
And now, all out of its rightful place,
let us insert a sentence about the b.tsket
ball team. Our girls are hard at work
on the rudiments of this fine sport. 'I hey
wear the nobbiest little suits of blue or
brown which one could wish to see. but
the prettiest thing about them is not the
suits, but the cheeks, flushed with the
beautiful exercises antl the eyes, bright
with the fiinj antl interest and excite-
ment of it all.
Visitors, not so many of late. There
ought to be someone visiting all the
time. Here follows our statement of at-
tendance:
Wakita.
.Ymas will soon be here.
Mr. Mueller, of Anthony, was in
town on Tuesday,
B. Rutherford and wife, were An-
thony visitors on lust Saturday.
Several of the sports of Wakita.
Medford, on Thanks-
giving day to see the foot ball game.
Andy SieAait was up from Sand
Creek last Monday.
Will George and wife, of Anthony,
were visiting friends and relatives
here last Saturday.
Wakita, now has two butchrr shops.
The new one is known by the name of
the South Side Mebt Market, F. PL
Shore, prop'r.
The Wakita Scribe, wishes someone
would pay their subscription so he
could get a turkey for X'nias.
The aged mother of Mrs. Win. Itlxey
died Monday
Al. Davis, the tailor, went to Man
chester on business last Tuesday.
A. K. Newell has opened a large
clothing store, in the company build-
ing: ('has. Matthews and "Bush New-
ell are in charge.
Henry Clark, of Byron, was here
last Tuesday. He used to live north-
east of here and likes to come back oc-
casionally.
Sister Nelijk.
Saw Mill in Operation.
Maple it Grice have purchased
new saw mill and have it in active
operation down in Richland township.
They are kept busy sawing up some of
the big cottonwoods in that section,
which the farmers are hauling to the
mill and having cut into lumber. Al-
ready hundreds of thousands of feet
of lumber and dimension stuffs have
been turned out by them and the same
is being used in the erection of barns,
cribs, fences, etc. What do you think
of that, when it is known that twenty-
five years ago there was not a wagon
load of timber growing in that entire
township. All the lumber now being
cut is from trees set out by tiie far-
mers and early settlers of that section.
Some of the trees are more than two
feet in diameter, at this time, and there
is so much of it growing that it needs
thinning out.—Kingman Leader
Cou rier.
Less than 25 years ago the timber
that is being sawed into lumber in
Kingman county was planted out by
the farmers there: and what is pos-
sible in Kingman county can be ac-
complished in Grant county within the
next ten years.
Rally Day.
At the Methodist church next Sun-
day Dec. 10, Rev. Geo. Bradford, D.D
Chancellor, of Epworth University,
Oklahoma City, will preach morning

day" in the church and every one is

much interest as I)r. Ht adsord has a
line reputation as a speaker and
lecturer and has taken high rank as
an educator, The new music books
'Joyful Praise" will be used, and in-
teresting exercises will be the order of
the day.
