UYMON. OKLAHOMA, THUKSDAV. NOVEMBER 24. WW
NO.:I7
Guymon in the Limelight.
For the past several days the Kan-
sas City Star has been full of news
under a Guymon date line relative
to the purported evidence of a man
in this vicinity supposed to have
been murdered last June. The man's
name is E«I Morris and his compan-
ion's name was Minnie. Several of
our townsmen have been interviewed,
G. W. Baird being quoted at length
and Tom Latham, as sheriff of the
county, comes in fur his share of good
advertising. Tom was mentioned as
being on the trail of the pair and
about to run them down on the
lonely prairies of New Mexico, but he
has lost the trail or gone deer hunt-
ing or something else, for he hasn't
been making a noise the last few
days like a man who has won a big re-
ward of any kind. Considerable inter-
est seems to be attach to the case for
an Oklahoman named Carl Howey, Is
sentenced to serve the remainder of
his life in prison for the supposed
murder of Morris. The Star says
Morris and his companion stopped
over night in the Stonebraker pas-
tures in a shack and were suspicious
looking characters.
Huckster Brown In Town.
Col. Shortgrass Brown of Good-
well. ex-candidate for register of
deed8 on the democratic ticket and a
former representative of the crude
oil burner interests, was in town
Monday and Tuesday of this week
with a load of pumpkins. The col-
onel makes an admirable huckster
and the pedantic verbosity of his
language as a salesman of big yellow
pumpkins prevailed upon many per-
sons to purchase the golden products
of the colonel's farm.
Club Didn't l>o Anything
At a meeting of a small number of
the members of the Commercial club
one evening last week nothing was i
done regarding the repairing of the
Toad coming into town from the
north Not enough members were
present to transact business. Some
of these days when all the business ,
that is left on the north flats heads
over to Hooker or down to Texhoma
there will enough members of the
club waken up to the fact that it is
a blamed sight cheaper to spend $150
on that road than to try to win back
custom The Commercial club has
a good thing to work on this road,
either seeing to the repairing of it
or getting the county interested in it.
This is the rottenest road we ever
saw leading into any town and no
farmer can haul a load over it. We
are tired of hearing them come in
here and roar about it and will start
a new subscription list with $15 or
more If some fellow will start out
with It, the money to be used in fix-
ing up this road. We trust the new
board of commissioners will see
what can be done towards making
this a respectable highway.

|m < 'leaning I p tin- Weed*.
The city is doing its best right
no* to «lean up the weeds about
town. This is a wi-e mo\e. The city
clerk Informs us that all weeds will
be haulei off if they are cut and
•tacked up. and this without charge
to the lot owners. The cleaning up
of the weeds Is something worth
while. They are the greatest source
of danger there is in the town. If
the Herald could It would deal cer-
rainly have an ordinance passed mak-
ing it compulsory to cut weeds whil«
the\ are green, anu that at least < n< e
a month. Nothing makes a town
look worse than a lot of old weeds or
i cowing weeds, and this town was
[surely the limit In certain places last
mi miner. We trust there will never
again be anything like it.
Ilnby killed Near Hooker.
W. II. Horn wire and two children.
! living tvar Alamo, while enroute to
Hooker Tuesday, happened to an
extremely serious accident. The
tanttj were ta i wagon loaded with
broom corn, and met a mall carrier
tin a motor cycle, who stopped, and
the exhaust from the engine scared
the team Into a run. The wagon was
turned over and the baby instantly
killed. Its neck being broken. The
mother and little girl were seriously
Injured and It Is thought that neither
will recover. Mr Horn was not hurt.
The team ran Into town, where It was
stopped Mr. and Mrs. Horn are
well known people in the Alamo vi-
cinity and their many friends are
sorely grieved to hear of their un-
timely misfortune.
Complimeints Homer.
The Stratford Star had the follow-
ing mention of our townsman, H. C.
Parcells. in its issue of last week:
"H. C. Parcells of Guymon. wa<
elected clerk of the district court of
Texas county last week. He was
running on the republican ticket
which was victorious for the first
time In the history of the county.
Mr. Parcells wa< formerly a citizen
of Stratford, and was agent for the
Rock Island at this place. He has
many friends here among the old
timers who will be pleased to learn
of his recent victory at the polls."
will play another
prevailing opinion among many
farmers that the price is not high
enough, but the best broom corn au-
thorities seem to hold out little hope
for a very much stronger market, one
at least that will be worth the price
of waiting long for it to arrive.
Wrecked His Auto
Eugene Allen, driver for the gar-
age, ran into a cow near Guymon the
first of the week and when he got
things straightened out his auto
looked like the wreck of a flying ma-
chine. The critter was hobbled and
stood In the road a dandy mark for
any driver and Allen seems to have
been a good marksman. A critter in

iron today (Thursday). The game autoj8t8 are always careful, but a
will be pulled off on the grounds oyer , hob|j|e(j t.ow js a thing out of the
by the mill. A small admission
charge will be made in order to help
defray expenses. The Guymon team
hopes to be In considerably better
shape for this game and Manager
lovell tells us some of the profes-
sionals Fowler had in its other game
will not be on hand for this game.
This should help things out consid-
erable and make the game more In-
teresting. Eat your turkey and then
see the game.
Bring It to Guymon.
Broom corn is still coming in at a
lively pace. While there might be
more of it to come in. still the farm-
ers are bringing In what they have at
a pretty good rate. There Is little
ordinary. The machine was brought
in and is now undergoing repairs.
No one in the machine was injured,
but the cow is in ward No. 23.
Invest in a Motor Cycle.
L. E. Job was up from Texhoma
Tuesday on business and made the
Herald office a pleasant call. Mr.
Job disposed of a Harley Davidson
motor cycle to Howsley & Anderson
while he was here, delivering the ma-
chine that day. Mr. Job Is one of
the tireless agents and workers for
the motor cycles and is making a suc-
cess of the business. He Is a fine
fellow and we have heard of no com-
plaint in regard to his business deal-
corn being held over the county, tak- ings from anyone with whom he has
ing it on the whole, although there had anything to do. If you are look-
has been some inclination in the past
week or two to not be In too great
a hurrv to sell. There seems to be a
ing for a motor cycle we believe you
will find him a very satisfactory agent
to deal with.

Thanksgiving
There have been other times when we had occasion to re-
fer to that almost divine inspiration which prompted Elder
Brewster and his small but devoted band of Puritan settlers to
create in the heart of the New England forests the Institution
known as Thanksgiving day. In November. 1621. at Plymouth,
Massachusetts, the Puritan fathers held the first ThanksglvinK
service. There, in the midst of the vast North American wil-
derness, that band of hardy pioneers sat down to the first
Thanksgiving dinner ever held on the North American conti-
nent. The entire American army, consisting of General Miles
Standish and six soldiers, was present. Massasoit, the great
Indian chief, a friend of the white man. with his ninety
braves, partook of this first Thanksgiving dinner with the
little band of heroic Pilgrims. Wild turkeys and other game,
profusely garnished with nuts and other delicacies from the
surrounding forests, made up the feast. One year before^the
Mayflower had landed them 102 all told—on Plymouth Rock.
The terrific winter, 1620-1621, had taken off more than half
their number. Their crops in the summer of 1621 had been
bountiful, and they returned thanks to Almighty God for their
wondrous blessings. As venerable Elder Brewster arose to
invoke the divine blessing, to return thanks above this festal
board that was canopied by the bronzed November forests, no
thought, it is believed, was harbored in his devoted heart that
he was giving the breath of life to a day and an observance
that should annually make tender the hearts of a great nation
for centuries to come. In the presence of the little band whose
loved ones lav so silently in the fresh, new-made graves on the
hillside and surrounded by the powerful, silent savages, he de-
livered this inspiring prophecy: "Blessed will It be for us,
blessed for this vast continent, nay from generation to genera-
tion will the blessing descend. Generations to come shall look
back to this day. to this agonizing hour and these scenes of
trial these davs of small things, and say, 'Here was our be-
ginning as a people. These were our fathers; through their
trials we inherit our blessing.' "
There Is a vast Influence for good, a vast ennobling work
for elevating mankind, in the annual Thanksgiving holiday.

A Cutting Kcra|H> at Tyrone.
Sheriff Latham and Attorney
Hughes, of Guymon, were here Tues-
day Investigating the Wooldrldge-
Thompson cutting scrape. About noon
Tuesday one J. C. Thompson, living
22 miles south came to town bleed-
ing from several severe knife wounds
about the head and shoulders. It
took Dr. Akers some time to dress
the Injuries. A warrant was sworn
out and Deputy Sheriff Zack Cain
went down Tuesday afternoon and
arrested Mr. Wooldridge and he was
taken to the county seat to await
trial. The trouble seems to have oc-
curred over a game of cards.—Ty-
rone Observer.
Woold ridge, the man who did the
cutting, has been In jail here for the
past week. His victim was In town
the first of the week and looked from
the pftb In s a boat his face like he bad
been through a threshing machine.
