What a travesty on tho religion of

ing, "Blest bo the Tie that Rinds."
This 6,000 adventurers made up of
every shade of religion from Chris-
tian to Pagan with "hands joined"
sang the above song and then ad-
journed for each to go homo and
practice their own creeds, teaching a
little closer. No wonder the world is
full of infidels.—Peck Cor. in Belle

If you want cheap work go to old
"two bit's" shop on hog alley. If
you want good work come to the Star
Printery on Broadway. You will
pay no more for good work at the
Star Printery than for cheap work
at the hog alley shop of "two bit.',
Fair Associations should figure
with the Star before letting the con-
tract for printing their premium lists.

TI. C. Swayze of Kansas City was in
town the first of the week, and while
here sold his farm two miles east of
town to his brother, W. C. H. C.
Swayze is one of the pioneers of Wa-
kita, having established a lumber
yard# here when there were but two or
three other houses. He sold out to
the Long-Bell company.

The Moore 'arm one mile south of
town was rented by J. H. Moore,
spoken of in another column, of Che-
rokee, was sold last spring to Ceo,
Leddington of Fond Creek. Mr. Led
dington at once moved onto the place
and put up a new residence- and
barn and other out buildings, erect-
ing them on tho northwest corner of
the farm. He has started in to make
a nice home there, and has improved
the looks of those suburbs greatly.
HE KNEW THAT HE KNEW
Tho following, contributed by that
gifted writer L. A. Wold has been in
tho office some time but owing to lack
of space it had to wait its turn.

There was a young man who thought that he
knew;
In fact he knew that be knew that lie kne
A (treat many things both true and untrue.
And of course he knew that we knew that he
knew
More than we knew that he knew that he
knew.
You never could speak of one single tiling;
Nor hazard a faint expression of view
■'or he knew that that your view never would
do
well as the view he viewed from your vie
'his caused him to view whatever be knew
tom a view that ynu must view what you
view
So as to know that you knew that you knew

Who knew that she made a wonderful view
the boys all knew she knew that she knev

She had a small foot and wore a small shoe.
This office is getting out a new card
for tho Medford Rural Telephone Co.,
nd up to the time of going to press
thirty-six new names have been added.
The growth of the Rural in Medford
has been phenomenal, and the pro-
moters have every cause to congratu-
itte themselves. The rate at present
is 25 cents per month, which is lower
than in any other town in Oklahoma,
and makes it possible for everyone to
ave a phono in both business house
and residence. It has come to the
stage when the rural phone is a nec
issity in any business house.
Medford as a place to live cannot
be beaten. The residence portion of
the city is as nicely improved as any
town in the west. Wo have good
graded schools and line churches.
You can do no better any where if
you are thinking of irioving to town
to educate your children than to come
here and investignte what we have to
offer you.

The First Train
Nashville, Formerly an
Inland Postoffice now
a Railroad Town
The first regular train to run to
Nashville over the Denver, Enid &
Gulf Railroad left Enid at 1 o'clock
Monday. The train returned to Enid
in time to make connections with the
passenger to Guthrie. The people of
Nashville and vicinity have always
entertained the hopes of being on a
railroad and thoir fondest hopes have
been realized.
The new town is in the heart of a
fertile country and ten miles from
other raildroad towns and should
make a first-class town. The new
road will boa big boost for the Enid
whole-sale houses and will probably
affect tho trade coming to Fond Creek
from tho west.
THE NEW STORE.
Last Saturday the A. F. Newell
Dry Goods Co., opened its doors to
the public with a large stock of dry
goods, clothing and shoes. The gen-
tlemen who are in charge of the store
are certainly workers for it took just
three days to unpack the stock and
get it on the shelves ready for the
opening and did not work any night
after nine o'clock. They have a fine
stock, are in an excellent location
and being pleasant, courteous gentle-
men and doing business on business
principles are sure to get their share
business. Their opening day was a
bad one, as it rained nearly all day
and the crowd in town was neccessarily
small but they know the crowds
which always come to Medford on a
nice day and are not in the least bit
worried over their first day's busi-
ness. Here's success to the new
store.
This office got the idea into it's
head that it would be a nice thing to
get a font of the latest type for print-
ing calling cards so gave the foundry
an order for latest type advertised for
this line of work. That was almost
two months ago and as yet the type
has failed to arrive. Some two weeks
ago we wrote tho foundry and receiv-
ed a letter stating that the typo had
not yet been made.but that as soon as
it was made they would fill our order.
We are still looking for it, and when
we announce it's arrival we expect to
do a land office business in this line,
for every lady in Medford and vicinity
will want some of the very latest style
cards. Watch for the announcement
and then hurry your order in. Mrs.
Jackman will receive orders at the
milinery store as soon as the type
arrives.
J. D. Casford came in very early
Saturday morning so his wifes mother
could take the early train for La-
Salle 111. Mrs. Casford has been
quite sick for several months and her
mother has been here to take care of
her. We are pleased to state that
Mrs. Casford is able to he up and to
come to town. >
Jake I'eters took a crowd of young
fellows over to tho Fond creek for a
fishing trip a few days ago. When
asked who was going he remarked:
Pucker, Peck, Beany. Whack, Tat-
ters, and Bumps." They no doubt
a,d a high old time if the names of
ose in the party signify anything.
B. P. Estill is making pictures at
Billings, Oklahoma. B. F. is a rat-
tling good photographer and will

business anywhere.
