During the past 12 days of our
wn-snne selling
many people have took advantage of
our extremely low prices and bought
heavy. To make our sale close with a
great finale we will replenish our coun-
ters with many new and tempting bar-
gains for the closing day. Of course
there are many lines closed out, but we
have made sweeping reductions in all
lindsto make up for this and we are
sure that if you have not attended this
sale yet that if you come tomorrow you
will join the many who have already at-
tended in saying this is
THE GTEATEST SALE
ever put on in Crowder. Hoping to see
many of you at my store on the closing
day of our Great Mid-Summer Sale and
thanking you for yery liberai patron-
age. I am faithfuly yours for low prices.

Some of the road overseers
are having some trouble with
men who refused to work the
roads when warned to do so
and are sending out <everal
warnings to the same parties.
This is wholly unnecessary,
and when an overseer has is-
sued his warning he has done
all the law requires. If the
man does not work it becomes
the overseer's duty to report
him to the township board.

had met the requirements of
the officials of the above
named road and raised a bonus
of .$50000.00 which secured
the road for their town. The
road agrees to have trains
running into Muskogee with-

contract.
The above sounds good to
Crowder people as it is almost
a settled fact that if the road
went to Muskogee it would
pass through Crowder, while
if it went to Webber Falls
according to a former survey
it would pass several
east of us. That Crowder
will have 15 roads in the next
18 months is now a foregone
conclusion.
