The Sentinel Leader was the
only paper in the county to come
out with a Christmas edition this
year. The boys over there must
have put in some pretty hard
licks the past week. The paper
contained sixteen pages, all home

with a cover in colors. The
paper was a credit to the shop, to

The Times has received the
Christmas edition of the Sentinel,

good friend, Geo. L. Inglish, for
several years owner and editor of
the Bonham Herald. ' The Times
used to have considerable trou-
ble in keeping Geo. Inglish from
trying to make the outside world
believe that Bonham was a better
town than Clarkesville, but we fi-
nally converted him and he "hik-

The Christmas service at the
Baptist church was quite a suc-
cess. The program was well
rendered. Miss Lallie Lucas and
Sam Atchisson deserve praise for
the management of the program.
There was preaching at the
Baptist church Saturday and Sun-
day by the pastor, R. E. Smith.
Miss Janie Lucas, of Mountain
Park, is taking Christmas with

Floyd Tiner has returned from

Rev. W. H. Roland drove down
near Retrop Sunday, where he
joined together as man and wife

Retrop, and is a fine young lady.

The Best Story.
A Kansas editor considers the
biblical story of Noah and the
flood the best ever penned and
gives his reasons as follows:
"We say this before educated
folks who turn up their noses and
say the story is a fake. You re-
member Noah had to work a long
time on the ark. It was uphill
business, too, at least, to go on
sweating and toiling day after
day in the hot sun, building a
boat away out on dry land while
local anvil and hammer club sat
around spitting tobacco juice on
the lumber, whittling up his
boards with their jackknives and
telling him what a fool he was to
expect a big rain in that country
where it was too dry to grow al
falfa. But he kept at it. Final
ly the flood came and ever moth,
er's son of the croakers was
drowned. This is the only in
stance we know of in, either sa-
cred or profane history where a
bunch of knockers got what was
coming to them."
A Furniture Deal.
This week Harrison & Bocock,
of this place bought the furniture
stock of Mr. Doty, at Rocky,
and they invoiced and took over
the stock. Mr. Bocock in the
deal traded his farm to Mr. Doty.
Part of the stock in Sentinel will
be moved to Rocky and C. H.
Bocock, of the firm, will move his
family over there and conduct
the business. J. A. Harrison
will conduct the store at this
place. The Leader joins with
their many friends in wishing
them success.

At the Ballot Box, Tomorrow,
Is the Time for You to
Express Your Views.
Ordinance No. 73 (the privy
ordinance) was referred back to
the people of Sentinel for approv-
er rejection. It would be well
to read carefully this ordinance
before going to the polls.
In section one you will find
that all old or new privies must bt
removed to or constructed on 1/
next to alley; that drop door?
hung on hinges, is required, and
shall be provided with a water-
tight receptacle for each opening
in the seat of the privy, made of
heavy galvanized iron, which
shall be 14 inches high and 14 in-
ches in diameter." Then comes
the regular scavenger fees-once
a month in the resident portion *
and twice a month in the business
section.
The penalty, in case of failure
to comply with provisionsvof this
ordinance, is thus set forth in
section 5: "Shall be fined in any
sum not exceeding $25.00 or im-
prisonment in the town prison
not exceeding thirty days or by
both such fine and imprisonment
at the discretion of the court or
jury trying the case."
Count the cost of a privy thus
constructed and equipped, add-
ing the scavenger's monthly
dues, then if you want to impose
this mid-winter purse-buster on
yourself and neighbors, do so;
then forever after keep silent
when the high cost of living and
tax burdens are up for consider-
ation.
The sanitary feature has long
since been thrashed out. Three
Sentinel physicians signed the
referendum petition calling for
this vote. "Let the people rule."
Tommy Tax.
T. M. Meier was in town Tues-
day. He reports that his wife
has returned from Indiahoma,
where she has been on a visit to
her father, who has been very
sick, but is now improved. He
gives it as his judgment that
the fruit crop is in fine shape and
that we will have a great yield
m that line next season, if noth
mg happens. He, like all other
good nurserymen, can tell in the
fall if there is going to be any
chance for a crop of fruit.

us we would soon go out of busi

Special Services.
Come to our special services
Sunday. Dec. 31st, at the opera
house. The service for the morn-
ing will mark the close of the
year of 1911. The text will be
Matthew 25: 10, last clause,
"And the door was shut." This
text will be used as a figure.
The text for the evening, at
3:30 o'clock, will be Rev. 3:8,
"I know thy works; behold, I
have set before thee an open door
and no man can shut it." This
text, like the one in the morning,
will be used as a figure. Come
to these services-they will mark
the close of our first year as pas-
tor of the Presbyterian church in
Sentinel, Oklahoma. We will be
glad to meet you there.
Yours truly,
W. G. Peyton, Pastor.
There was a fine party at the
home of C. H. Bocock last Tues-
day night. There was quite a
crowd present and all had a
great evening's pleasure. There
were games and a general good
time to celebrate the holidays.
Mr. Bocock and his excellent
wife know just how to make all
feel at home. •
Another Party.
At the home of R. C. Morton
and wife last Tuesday night there
was one of those good parties
that the young people enjoy so
well. There were about twenty-
five present and they made mer-
ry till a pretty late hour. Those
present say that is the place to
go when you want to have one
of the best times that young peo-
ple can think of. The party was
given in honor of Miss Edith
Morton.
Box Supper Tonight.
Tonight at the Methodist par-
sonage the ladies of the Method-
ist church will give a box supper.
The boxes of the young ladies
will be sold for 25c each. Those
of the married ladies will go at
50c each. All are invited.
The entertainment, we are in-
formed, that was to take place on
the 27th for the benefit of the
Christian church, has been post-
poned till the weather gets bet-
