Happy N<-w Year!
And a prosperous year!
And even :t peaceful one!
And we hope to get 'ein all.
Many a sickly smile hides a
mighty healthly jag.
o
Did you buy it at home this
Christmas?
We did.
-o
Another presidential year and
still our hat is not in the ring.
o
Not a doubt of the return of
prosperity now. Every turkey
hit the spot.
There's a deal of good in this
old town, if it can only discover
itself.
!(esMtion
We have reduced the price of many articles that
we carry in our Drag Store, and you will find that
you wi LI be able to '..ave money by letting us take
care of your drug wants.
We are able to sell cheaper from the fact that
we buy many of our drugs direct from the manure c -
urers, and save the middle man's cost. We also pay
cash for our Dr jb arrl tl-ocefore get the cash dis-
count, which means quite a saving.
This store has always stood for the highest
principles in business and all our patrons have re-
cognized this fact, in-as-much as we-have always
made good any article that did not live up to what
we claimed for it.
We buy the highest quality obtainable, and pass
the merchandise along to our patrons at the smallest
possible price at which it ean be sold*
We will be pleased to have your patronage dur-
ing 1916, and will accomodate our Customers in every
way possible.
"He Who Serves Best, Profits Moft"
Nineteen sixteen is the year of
political conventions and other
bugs.
Just cork up your sarcasm,
brother. Ford didn't mean this
Xmas anyway.
Saying the right thing at the
right time is the right thing to
■ay. And that's right.

And will General Villa go onto
the lecture platform, into vaude-
ville, or star for the movies?
If they continue drafting new
men into the war the survivors
may be under the painful neces-
sity of footing their own pension
bills.
The man who yets licked has
the dignilied satisfaction of
knowing he didn't kill the other
fellow.
• o
They say death evens up all
•cores, but it will require a whop-
ping big mantle to cover the sins
of 1915.

Some men are so energetic
they fail in business today and
•tart right in tomorrow to engi-
neer another failure.

If congress will pass a law for
preparedness against bill collect-
ors we'll vote right and vote of-
ten or any other old way.
Winter at its worst has its
good points. It prevents many
a neighborhood row over the
back fence.
Here's to America, land of
freedom, where every man is a
presidential possibility and darn-
ed few are probabilities.

din^ Friday afternoon at one
o'clodk when their daughter, Miss
Isabelle Stinnett Manlev was
married to Mr. James Bogan
Cash of Hollis Okla. The Man ley
home was beautiful with its
Clmstmas decorations and the
guests at the wedding were limit-
ed to the members of the family.
Rev. E. L. Alexander, paster of
the Richmond Baptist church,
performed the ceremony.
The bridels going away suit
was of black silk velvet trimmed
witn baown Martin f'ur and her
hat was of gold Venice trimmed
with French fus. The bride is
one of Richmond's popular young
women and previouo to her mar-
riage was a pupil in Richmond
high school. M r. Cash is a prom-
inent young buiiness man of
Hollis, Oklahoma, and engaged
in the clothing business.
The newly-wed will visit Dallas
Texas, and other s;iu hern paints
and after January 8th will be -at
home in Hollis Oklahoma. The
News joins many Richmond
inanp things. An appreciative
Christmas will rule the baseness,
rudeness, roughness out of any
life. Christmas is the time of
love. Peace and good will is
spoken of ii. Hatred, envy and
malice can have no Christmas.
Greed and selfiishness are entire-
ly foreign to the day. Ill will
knows n .thing about it. Harsh
unkind words take the spirit .out
of the occasion. If Christmas
means any thing it is a day of
good things, gracious deeds, gen-
erous impulses, noble aspira-
tions, helpfulness, gladness,
brightness, buoyance, the shad-
ows fleeing away and the sun-
light streaming in and thus we
make,
The merry Christmas ring
And drive a vay ou. fear;
As it. arrives we brtghtsn lives
And fill them full of cheer.

For the married man who can-
not get along without drinks the
following is suggested as a means
of freedom from bondage to
saloons:
Start a saloon in your own
home. Be the ouly customer
(you'll have no license to pay).
Go to your wife and give her two
dollars to buy a gallon of whiskey
and remember tt eie are sixty-
nine drinks in a gallon. Buy all
your drinks from no one but your
wife, and by the time that the
first gall >n is gone she will have
eight dollars to put into the bank
and two djllars to start business
again.
Should you live ten years and
continue to buy booze from her.
and then die with snakes in your
bjote, she will have enough
money to bury you decently,
educate your children, buy a
house and lot, ar.d marry a de-
cent man, and quit thinking a-
bout you entirely.
