P. B. WATRUS, Editor.
It was announced in Thurs-
days dailies that the statehood
bill would pass the house on
that day. As the News goes to
press on Thursday night we are
unable to say. In the event
that it passes the house it must
then go to the House of Lords,
commonly called Senate, com-
posed of men that do not care
whether we ever are granted
statehood unless they can get
something out of it.
The wisest man we have had
any dealings with in 19(H) is J.
S. McNally, division passenger
agent of the Choctaw Northern
The editor of the News applied
for transportation over the
road as is customary and he
turned us doAyn on the grounds
that the News is published a
mile and a half from their depot,
a childish excuse and especially
when it is considered that this
road is of no practical use to
any one in this section only
when they want to go to Alva
and then passengers are not
sure they will get to Alva the
some day they start unless they
drive from Ingersoll. McNally
has his head terribly swelled
over a two cent job on a street
car line. The best way for
people in this section to go to
Alva, if they are in a hurry is
to take the Frisco to the Alva
crossing and ride upon the stage
is is quicker, safer and cheaper.

Association.
Grandpa Parkins Hurt.
On Monday Geo. Parkin's
team that he drives to the hack
became frightened at the steam
from an engine on the Orient
and started to run, striking the
freight platform, then turning
and ran over some steel oil
tanks upsetting the hack and
throwing him out breaking
three ribs on his left side one
of them in two places. Dr.
Ludlum was called and reduced
the fractures and says that he
will have Mr. Parkins out on
the hack inside of thirty days.
Every body sympathizes with
him over his bad luck and will
rejoice when he is able to be
out and around again.

After much discussion and en-
thusiastic remarks they adjourn-
ed until Saturday February <1 at
2:80 p. iq.
The News has devoted much
time in the past four months on
the question of a fair and this
action pleases us as it shows
that the farmers are awake to
their interests and that the
work done by the News has ac-
complished results. In the
next few days the business men
of Carmen will be called on to
subscribe for stock and they
should give liberally as this is
a permanent thing and the mon-
ey secured by selling stock will
be put into improvements and
not spent for amusements as is
done at street fairs. This is to
be an old fashioned fair where
the farmer brings in his best
products and the stock man the
finest of his herd and machinery
companies will vie with each
other in the Exhibition of their
machinery.
After the grounds are fixed
up and the buildings erected
the gate receipts will run the
fair and pay dividens on the
stock. In all the older settled
sections it is being done and
Carmen can show them all
something when it comes to
agricultural products and fine
stock.

6ne of the best business men in

Mr. Lewis is thoroughly ex-

j'ears and for the past twelve

Hutton Located.
On Monday January 22, A. M.
Hutton, formerly in business
here purchased a stock of gro-
ceries and shoes at Tonkawa
and rented the I. O. O. F. build-
ings centrally located and will
take possession on Monday,
January 29.
He was in Carmen Wednes-
day and informed the editor of
the News that he would ad a
large stock of strictly up to
date dry goods and enlarge the
grocery and shoe stock as Ton-
kawa is located in a very pros-
perous community and would
justify larger stocks of goods I
than is now carried there.
We wish him unlimited suc-
cess in his new home and rec-
ommend him to the people of
Tonkawa as a fine man,a pusher
for any thing that will build up
the town and last but not least
is an exceptionally "good busi-
ness man, and during his four
years stay in Carmen always co-
operated and worked with his
compeditors, always disiring
harmony. Mrs. Hutton and
children are now living in
Wichita and as soon as Earl
finishes the Commercial Course
they will probably move to
Tonkawa and will ad greatly to
the social circle of that city as
they are very fine people.
