Two young couples $f
stole a march-on their friends
and. went over to Altus on Sun-
day, April 8th, ancUwere mar-
ried, comingg back home acting
as though nothing h&d taken
place other than a joy ride.
The contracting parties were
Mr. Clabe Spradling to Miss
Beryl McDougal, and Mr. *John
S. Allen to Miss Ruby McClure.
It was noticed in thp Altus
papers of the weddings, and al$
so a mention of Hie license be-
ing issued, and when one of the
young men was approached
about the matter, he defiled, it,
but the investigating parties
did not stop at that, bt{t called
the Rev. W. U. Witt, which the
paper stated performed the
ceremony, and he finally con-
fessed that he had promised not
to say anything about the mat-
ter, but admitted he had tied
the knots.
All the young people are well
known in and around Hollis,
and have many warm friends
that wish them a happy and
prosperous journey upon the
matrimonial ship.
The death angel visited the
home of |fr. and Mrs. B. L.
Darnell, who live north of Hollis
a few miles, last Friday night
and took from them their son,
Raymond.
He was sick only a few hours,
taking sick on Thursday. Was
at school" on that day, and took
sick that night with something
like lock bowels, the doctors
not knowing just what caused
his death.
Little Raymond was 7 years
and 8 months old. Funeral ser-
vices were held Sunday after-
noon and interment made in the
McKnight cemetery.

the ''Iowa" Cream Separator,
and is selling lot& of; them in
this' county, which will be a
great thing for our farmers,
with butter fat at that price.
With a separator you can get
much better returns for your,
milk than you can do by the
old way of -skimming,' churning
and seUin| the butter, and the
separator ; way is much less
trouble besides.
If a farmer-has several cows
it will certainly pay hiin to buy

The seven billion dollar bond
issue has passed the senate and
by this time thrOe billion of that
amount has been placed to the
credit of the alllies. This is an
enormous amount of money,
more than one can hardly , imag-
ine. If you will figure out how
much that would be in silver
dollars, it would take 145 rail-
road cars with a capacity of
4O,OO0t pounds : each to carry
that amatimt, more than one
engine could conveniently pull.
Just think of that many silver
dollars in one pile!

A Happy Meeting of Friends
^ Seperated Thirty Years
On Friday evening of last
week I stepped into the Kee-Da
Hotel and among the names of
the days arrivals I read the
name of J. B. Eskridge, Weath-
erford, Okla. I said I must see
this old friend which I first met
more than thirty years ago. In
an hour or so I met a well
dressed gentleman oit the side,
walk and when 1 stopped and
extended my hand, and looking
him straight in the eyes said:
Is this Prof. J. B. Eskridge?
And looking me straight in the
face said, yes, ahd this is Clark.
Then he suggested that we go
to the hotel, and we did. Com-
fortably seated we went
over the reminiscence connect-
ing with his college career and
my residence in that college
town. 1 greatly enjoyed renew-
ing this acquaintance which be-
gan more than thirty years ago.
Young Eskridge was one of
lose young men who are the
ride of the institution with *
which they become identified*
It is always my purpose to
dcesent fjangfe exactly as
are, and I ao not mean to <
my eulogy ot'young
rdge's character, but I believe
I am on the safe side when' ~
fctate that in my opinion, in
the months of intimate assoc
tion with him from the hi
of his matriculation in
in coliege until he went
I neverheajrd a
land. When a have said this
the plain language that I ha\
employed, 1 wonder if
could be said,,
more eloquent
be used, which would be
stronger , tribute to the charac-
ter of this man when he was a
young college student.
Prof.4 Eskridge'is president of
the formal at
Oklahoma, and is
a broad general way in the
ucation of the young man'
women .Of his "district, {While
here he made a splendid
at the High School
then another -at the
House.
Young, men and women who
have as their life work /their
own higher education and teach-
ing will do well to study with
Prof. Eskridge.
Respectfully,
A. M. CLARK.
