GUYMON, OKLAHOMA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 25, 1917
Mil* Louisa Cator Becomti Bride
The beautiful ranch home of Mr.
and Mrs. J. H. Cator at the head
waters of the Palo Duro in Hansford
county, was the scene of a pretty
home wedding last Wednesday eve-
ning when their second daughter
Louisa became the wife of Mr. Lo-
ranza G. Nobles. The spacious par-
lors were festooned with southern
smilax and bouquets of cut flowers
made the house a bower of beauty.
Miss Wilcox presided at the piano
and to the strains of Mendelssohn's
wedding march the happy couple, at-
tended by Miss Gwenfred Jones as
bride's maid and James F. Cator, a
brother of the bride, as best man,
took their places before the Rev. S.
Walsh Franklin, who read the simple
wedding ceremony. The bride wore
a beautiful gown of white voile and
carried a bouquet of hyacinths. After
the ceremony and congratulations
about thirty sat down to an elegant
turkey dinner. A fine array of
beautiful presents attest to the high
esteem in which this young couple
is held. A most enjoyable evening
was spent in dancing until about 1
o'clock, when supper was served.
The bride was born and raised on
the ranch which has always been her
home. After attending the home
school she was sent to the Girls' In-
dustrial School of Arts at Denton,
Texas. Beside the accomplishments
that go to make her a desirable help-
meet which will grace any society,
she has the added charm of a thor-
ough western girl. She rides with
ease and her father lovingly refers to
her as his "right hand man."
The groom has been a resident of
Hansford county for the past five
years. He is a young gentleman of
high moral character, is honest, in-
dustrious and ambitious almost to a
fault. He has purchased a ranch at
Lucern, 41 miles from the bride's
parents, and the young people will
go to housekeeping on this at once.
He also has quite a bunch of cattle.
The Herald joins with their host of
friends in wishing them unalloyed
happiness through life.
Guests present besides the family
were: Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Tyler, Mrs.
L. E. Latham and little daughter, Mr.
and Mrs. Samuel Albea, Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph W. Jones, Miss Gwenfred
Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Wilcox, Miss
Wilcox, Harry Wilcox, Mr. and Mrs.
J. R. Henderson and little daughter,
Mrs. J. R. Butler, Miss Vashti
Wright, Mr. and Mrs. 0. C. Dowdy
and F. L. Carson.

Annual Panhandle Teachers' Meeting
A number of the teachers of the
Panhandle responded to the call is-
sued from the county superintend-
ent's office and met with him last
Saturday at his office in the court
house. The reason for this meeting
at this particular time was to decide
on the place and time for the next
annual meeting. It was decided that
the meeting be held at Liberal
March 29, 30 and 31. The various
counties in this association will fur-
nish portions of the program. In ad-
dition to this some good state speak-
ers have been secured. This prom-
ises to be one of the best meetings of
its kind ever held in the Panhandle.
Those who responded to the call
were: Professors J. F. Sharp, W. S.

Why He Wears Them
, He sees them advertised and he knows they
j are good clothes; he sees his friends wear
them and he knows they have good judgment.
"StylepUs Clothes, $17, appeal to men who
think.
The makers of these wonderful clothes have centered a
great volume on a Suit and Overcoat, selling from Maine
to California, under a registered name, at the same price,
$17 the world over.

That the makers of Styleplus Clothes have not had to raise the price, due to the in-
creased cost of raw materials, is striking proof of the economy of manufacturing a
certain article on a great scale.
Styleplus Suits and Overcoats are $17 each. Their satisfaction is guaranteed. Their
style lifts a man's appearance from ordinary to exceptional. Let us show you.

Trades Day for Fir t Monday
First Monday in February has
been designated by Col. Fred L. Cost-
ner as Trades Day for Guymon.
Yesterday morning twenty or more
business men had signed up for of-
fering on that day some article from
their stock at a big reduction and
Mr. Costner feels now that he can
make Trades Day a big success. On
that date he will sell at public auc-
tion all stuff brought in free of
charge. It will be a splendid oppor-
tunity for the farmer to sell off some
article he doesn't need and buy an-
other that he does need, besides he
will have an opportunity of buying
from our merchants dependable
goods at greatly reduced prices.
Watch the Herald next week for the
big ad, in which the different articles
of merchandise will be offered.
Miss Mary Gibson returned to her
home Saturday after a visit of some
length with relatives in Kansas.

T. F. Wright to Leave Guymon
T. F. Wright, better known to his
friends as "Tommy," has resigned
his position as assistant cashier with
the First National bank to take effect
between the 15th and the last of
February, having accepted the same
position with the First National bank
of Carizozo, New Mexico, a new bank
just opening with a (50,000 capital
stock. He will leave here between
the 16th of February and the 1st of
March and will take up his new du-
ties on the latter date. Mr. Wright
has been connected with our local
bank for more than eight years, dur-
ing which time he has proven his
sterling worth. He is a young man
of exceptional ability, always cour-
teous and accommodating, and in him
Guymon is losing its highest type of
manhood. Carizoao may well look
to its new acquisition with pride.
Tommy expresses regret at leaving
Guymon and his many friends, but
feels that he is bettering himself by
the change.
Conductor Brickel's Daughter Dead
No conductor on the Rock Island
between Pratt and Tucumcari is bet-
ter known than T. J. Brickel. His
many friends will be grieved to learn
that his youngest daughter, Mrs.
Hazel Kessler, died very suddenly at
their home in Pratt, Kansas, last
Saturday afternoon. She had been
married less than a year, and being
the youngest in the family had never
left home. The funeral is to be held
from the home this (Thursday) aft-
ernoon. Conductor and Mrs. C. G.
Stevenson went up yesterday after-
noon to attend.
The Chautauqua Entertainers
The 1916-17 lyceum course is
drawii^ to a close. Only two more
numbers remain. The young people
who came to us last Monday night
are to be particularly commended
because of their youth. To see them
before the entertainment began one
might easily mistake them for a high
school trio. Their work was excep-
tional because of their youth. The
musical selections were particularly
good. Altho they could not have
been before the public for many
years their work was not that of
amateurs by any means. A criticiz-
ing public sometimes think that be-
cause we cannot have a Dr. Driver
or William Jennings Bryan on every
lyceum number it is not worth at-
tending. We have had a splendid
course this winter and if neither of
the two to follow is weaker than
those already given we may congrat
ulate ourselves on having a first class
winter's entertainment. Encourage
this work in Guymon; it speaks well
for our people. We need more of it.

Automobile Destroyed
Frank L. Collins was driving from
Amarillo to Guymon Sunday. When
within about five miles of Goodwell
he struck a bad piece of road and
upset his fine new Super-Six. In the
twinkling of an eye an explosion oc-
curred and in less time than it takes
to tell it the car was enveloped in a
sea of flames. While the car is
badly dilapidated there is perhaps
much of it that can be saved. As
Frank is a careful business man it
goes without saying that he had the
machine covered with insurance.
"The wreck of the Hesperus" was
pulled into the Booth garage during
the day and has been the object of a
throng of spectators ever since. Mr.
Collins has been making good use of
a Henry Ford since attending to the
business that brought him to Guy-
mon.
Rabbit Drive a Dandy
Sam H. Miller has a pile of over
two thousand rabbits as a result of
the big rabbit drive out of Guymon
yesterday. Photographer Tom Pate
took a picture of them and one of
these is worth preserving. It is said
there will be more when the hunters
are all in. The party of which N.
E. Nance was captain brought in
over 500 rabbits. Another drive has
been announced for the 31st. Mr.
Miller will ship the carload to New
York and that ought to be enough
rabbit meat to hold the hungry deni-
zens of that burg for a while, besides
the farm will feel a great relief from
the pesky things.
New Proprietors at Holler's
Webb & West sold out their in-
terest on Tuesday of this week to
Law & Braswell, who took possession
at once of the old Holler stand. They
are experienced restaurant men and
it is their intention to make of their
investment an up to date cafe. They
are nice appearing gentlemen who
seem to be thorough business men.
They are from Alva, where they re-
cently sold the Saddle Rock cafe.
Guymon is not overdone in the res-
taurant business and they will no
doubt get their share of the trade.
Loyal Temperance Legion
The L. T. L. recently organized in
Guymon is meeting with fine suc-
cess. At a meeting last Wednesday
afternoon at the school house about
flftv members were present. Sev-
eral new additions were made at this
meeting. The next regular meeting
will be on Wednesday afternoon,
January 31, at 4 o'clock at the home
of Mrs. J. K. Hitch, when it is hoped
that every child in town will be
present. This is a worthy movement,
the ladies in town who have been
chosen to help in this special work
for temperance are doing their part
and it is hoped that the parents will
instruct their children in the impor-
tance of this work and see to it that
they attend these meetings and are
properly informed as to what it
means.
W. C. T. U. Relief Work
The ladies of the W. C. T. U. wish
the people of Guymon to keep their
relief box always before their mind.
A number of new things have been
added since they last addressed you
and they would be glad if any who
could make use of same would call
and get them. They take pleasure
in collecting these things and seeing
that the worthy ones get them. Any
having useful articles to give will
please inform the committee and they
will gladly call for same.
AGRICULTURAL FEAST
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY
Holstein-Friesian Association and the
Cantaloupe Growers Will Combine
in Farmers' Institute Work—Prom-
inent Speakers to Discuss Impor-
tant Farm Questions—Dr. A. M.
Beeson Will Be Here.
A gala time for the farmer and
others interested in agricultural and
dairy subject* has been arranged for
next Friday and Saturday of this
week by Farm Demonstrator B. M.
Jackson and the Holstein-Frieaian
Association of Texas County and the
newly organized CanUloupe Grow-
ers' Association. Since a meeting of
the two associations had been called
for Saturday the meetings of both
organizations will be combined to
make the whole a big success. The
Holstein-Friesian association has
been making some rapid strides since
it was organized a few weeks ago
and the meeting as planned for Fri-
day and Saturday is expected to pro-
mote the splendid work that has
been undertaken by these men. The
cantaloupe growers had chosen Sat-
urday for a meeting at which they
expect to perfect their organization
and make it permanent, and since
it is the agriculturist mostly inter-
ested in both movements all will be
given the benefit of a combination
meeting and of hearing talks by
some of the very best posted men
along agricultural lines in the coun-
try. Every farmer who can possibly
do so should attend. It will be well
worth your time to hear Dr. A. M.
Beeson, professor of agronomy at A.
& M. college, Stillwater, or Prof. R.
C. Shiflett, to say nothing of the lo-
cal talent that will be on hand to
interest you and give their viewa of
the dairy, the creamery, the canta-
loupe, the cow or horse, the hog, and
a hundred other subjects of the farm.
The meeting will convene at 7:30 p.
