Shaw is Tews?
We have heard a rumor that a
-company was staging a perfor-
mance at the opera house in
Thomas the first of the week
- This rumor has not been verified
however Thomas is a good
show town when the attractions
- are properly advertised in the
x home paper Take for instance
Busby’s Minstrels which is ad-
vertised in this paper to appear
in Thomas Saturday night They
'will play to a full tent The
I - showman who does not advertise
is on a par with the business
man who does not advertise
People may bear ' they are in
’ town but they soon forget about
- it For the life of us we cannot
tell our readers wbat the alleged
attraction was and we careless

Tuesday evening Dan Rogers
drove his team into the space
north of the Frisco depot where
the bus usually stands and they
became frightened and backed
the buggy with its occupant over
the sidetrack just as a string of
freight cars were being switched
by The buggy was instantly
made a mass of wreckage but
was pushed off the track by the
impact Dan was found in the
mass of wreckage uninjured
Mr Rogers has suffered for
years with a stroke of paralysis
which has rendered him more or
less helpless His escape from
injury is considered miraculous
by those who witnessed the acci-
dent '
Hire Thu Pleud
To the Public
I wish to thank the many peo-
ple who attended my sale March
11 I did not distribute a sin-
gle bill but attribute the suc-
cess of the sale to the display ad-
vertisement carried in The Tri-
bune I wish to say to any one
contemplating having a public
sale that it will pay you to adver-
tise it in the home paper 'or my
sale brought me enough more
than I bad figured it would to
buy me a Ford automobile An-
other thing my "Si Kidder”
lunch won popular favor for
hundreds of those who attended
the sale told me it was ‘‘great’
One cow and her calf sold for
$94 another cow ' brought $80
my horses brought top -prices
and the farm macinery sold far
above the prices I figured they
would bring The check I wrote
to The Tribune was the best in-
vestment I ever made since I
bought my marriage license
Very truly yours ‘

x Mr and Mrs W L McClung
returned Tuesday from El Reno
where “Me” has been in a hospi-
tal for the past ? ten days on ac
count of a very sore foot After
a careful examination the sur-
geon decided not to operate upon
the member bu thought with
careful nursing the foot would
get well Mr McClung has been
suffering with a diseased foot
for the greater - part of the win-
ter and at times has been com-
pelled to use crutches We are
told the doctor placed him on a
diet of oatmeal and milk during
the time he was in the hospital
and this seemed to him the most
cruel punishment that could be
inflicted upon him His friends
in El Reno are legion many of
whom called upon him while he
was interned and left flowers at
bis bedside as a token of the
high esteem in- which he is held
One of the instructions given by
the surgeon ' was that be must
not be on bis feet ‘ very much if
he hoped for a cure therefore if
he obeys the physician’s orders
weshallnot see him upon the
streets very much His many
friends all join in the hope of his
8 peed y recovery
A Flu Skewing
We wish to call the attention of
our readers to the fine published
statements of the two banks lo-
cated in Thomas The volume of
business done by our home
banks is largely of agricultural
origin the best kind of business
in the world from a banker’s
standpoint Many towns in Ok-
lahoma can show larger deposits
especially where there are min-
eral resources but along with
this business comes the wild
fluctuation in deposits We are
proud of our local financial insti-
tutions which are officered by
men of well known integrity and
financial responsibility f
