Killing a Town
A town that never has anything to
do in a public way is on the road to
the cemetry. Any citizen who will do
nothing for his town is helping to dig
the grave. The man who curses the
town furnishes the coffin. A man
that is so' selfish has to have no time
from his business to give to city af-
fairs is making the shroud. The man
who will not advertise is driving the
hearse. The man who is always pull-
ing back from any public enterprise
throws bouquets on the grave. The
man who is so stingy as to be how-
ling hard times preaches the funeral,
sings the doxologjr. and thus the
town lies buried from all sorrow and
care.—Ex.
Thi« was an automobile accident; personal tax warranto. He left them

will be tried in the Federal court at

he report*, and everyone was prepar- tended Saturday night according to
ing for the biggest and best affair of report*. A society of this kind is a

ita Leader. ' encouraged.
Farewell Surprise Party
Tuesday evening the young people
of Hooker decided to give tha Misses
Liebman a farewell surprise party
before their departure as noted in last
week's paper. The crowd congregat-
ed at Mayer's store and marched up
j in a body and the way the girls acted
it must have been a total surprise to
them too. About 35 guests were pres-
ent. Out-door and narlor games were
played until midnight and the crowd
departed with best wishes and kind-
liest feelings toward this estimable
family who have made many warm
friends during their short stay among
us.

COMMERCIAL
HOTEL BURNS
Hooker's Largest Hotel Re-
duced to Ashes Early
Monday Morning
Time's Changes
In childhood, when my works were
aching, my granny doctored me; she
held my nose and kept me taking
boneset and ginger tea. Then soon,
departed all the colic, the anguish and
the pain, and I went forth to sport
and frolic, till I got sick again. And
thuswise all the kids were treated by
grannies in their dav; they swallowed
yarb tea superheated, and sickness
skipped away. But now the world is
so enlightened, we jeer at granny's
dope; at old time remedies we're
frightened—the surgeon is our hope.
The surgeon comes with saw and
cleaver, be comes in sombre garb;
he gives no tea to cure our fever; he
scorns the ancient yarb. He tells
that some cog or ratchet has slipped
in our insides; he cuts us open with a
hatchet, and all our works divides.
He hews us with his gory axes, till,
with expiring sigh, we sadly ask him
what his tax is, and then curl up and
die.
—Walt Mason
Monday morning about six o'clock
the Commercial Hotel at this place
burned to the ground and Hooker lost
its largest hotel and the traveling
public a popular stopping place.
The fire is supposed to have started
in the northeast corner of the attic
and had gained quite a headway when
discovered by Mr. Smith, the propri-
etor, who had just gotten up and had
run upstairs upon hearing several
shots tired. He and his son threw
several buckets of water on the blaze
but realizing it was beyond their con-
trol quit and proceeded to awaken the
roomers, the most of whom had to
come down on the fire escapes, some
not having tima to finish dressing.
All the room furnishings upstairs,
such as beds, bedding, dressers, etc ,
were burned but about two thirds of
the furniture and stuff below were
saved. There was no wind thac morn-
ing and a light drizzling rain was
falling which was very fortunate as
had there been much wind some of the
roomers might have had a narrow
escape with their lives to say nothing
of saving their belongings, most of
which they rescued.
Bob Byrd, one of the deep well men
stopping at the hotel dropped a trunk
on his foot and hurt himself quite bad-
ly while taking it downstairs.
By the hardest kind of work the
laundry house standing near by was
saved and no other buildings near by
caught fire.
In an interview with Mr. Smith be
stated he contemplated starting up
again as soon as the insurance was
adjusted. He has opened temporary
headquarters in the Dresser building.
We are glad to note that Perrv in-
tends to continue in the business, but
regret very much the misfortune that
has befallen him.

Wednesday of last week the Daily
Oklahoman came out with an epito-
mised account of the State examiners
report of Texas County's retiring of-
ficers. Nearly every one came out
short and was charged with having
drawn more funds than ne was legally
entitled to. Some of them claim to
have the best of excuse for their
shortages but we hope It will be tbor-
oly investigated and if any crooked-
ness is found give these gentlemen
just what they deserve. Men who
betray a public trust belong in the
category of Benedict Arnold and
Judas Iscariot. V
