LOTS OF MONEY
The Mangum Merchants Enjoyed
Good Sales Last Saturday
TOTAL REACHES $43,000
Saturday Was a Busy Oay for Our
Merchants Here. Everybody
Reports Good Sales
Well Satisfied
COTTON SOLO HERE
Friday end Saturday of Last Week
Were Big Dayton Our Streets
INSEPARABLE.
If any one doubta/the amount of
money spent here last Saturday of
last week they can do as a represen-
tative of the Sun-Monitor did —that
is go around to all the merchants,
principal stores ih this town and
take the figures" off of the mer-
chant's books, as we did. The mer-
chants. of our town were kind
enough to give us the amount of
money taken in by them on Satur-
day October the 21st. There were
two mfen- -merchants here who did
not give us their amount of busi-
ness, but of course we know that
they did a big business as compared
with the other stores of their
nature, but without these two we
have the grand sum of $43,258.32,
spent here last Saturday. Of
course this does not include the
banks, nor wholesale houses, mills
etc., nor dees it include the smal-
ler merchant -whose business would
not be apt to be swelled on that
date. It includes the dry good
stores—all but two, the grocery
stores, the hardware and implement
stores, hotels and restaurants,
lumber yards, wagon yards, etc.
Can you imagine this much mon-
ey being spent he-e in one day,
just glance over the amouht once
more, and let it soak into your
system—$43,258.32, spent here in
o-»e day , and nearly every cent by
farmers of this and nieghboring
counties.
Oh, yes, we like to forgot, two
very important items, the amounts
taken in by the Mangum Weekly
Star, and the Sun-Monitor, why,
the Star took in the vast sum of
$5.50 on subscriptions, and the.
Sun-Monitor, actually pulled down
-$1.50 on subscriptions, yessir-ee!
Now add that to the other figures
and you have the grand sum, of
$43,265.57.

the Southwest knows of will wrestle
here Monday night, November,

will take care of him, all right, all
right. Rov has been training with
Jack White of Anadarko, and is in
splendid condition. Just last week
Roy had a match at Anadarko and
two at Woodard, and won all three
of them.
Mr. Cutler has sent challenges
to Mr. Mabee, before and he was
unable to accept them, but now he
says he is ready for the big Indiana
wrestler. Big Jcak White, who is
also a good wrestler, will help in
the preliminaries, before the big
match. He says he will wrestle
any five men in the house which
will be a good show, before the

/Mangum vs. Cordell
The game for last Saturday was
scheduled with Altus, but for some
cause which wa9 unstated, Altus
canceled both of her dates with the
Mangum team, leaving them in a
very hard strait, for they had well
advertised the game and some sort
of an effort on Altus' part was ex-
pected, but alas, the word came,
"we wont be there."
The next thing to do was to try
and arrange a game with some one,
so Cordell was called and the team
of that place finally consented to
come. The game was expected
to be a hard one and a close score
looked forward to, but the boys
got that same old ' 'pep,'' so char-
acteristic of Mangum's teams and
soon in the game Mangum made a
touch down, and following several
others were made in close succes-
sion. The game was very one-sid-
ed, yet at limes the Cordell boys
put up a good fight. After many
plunges, etnd runs, forward passes,
the boys run the score up to 58 to
Cordell's 6. The shades of night
having fallen, the students had a
-big "snake dance," which was en-
joyed by a large number of young
people.—Press Cor.
Fuller-Bowman
Mr William Bowman and Miss
Kattie Fuller, two of Mangum's
popular young folks, gave their
friends quite a surprise, by getting
married Sunday night. This was a
quiet affair and very few knew of
the wedding till after Sunday
night. These young people have
lots of friends here who wish them
success and happiness in their mar-
ried life.
The infant of Mr. and Mrs. R.
L. Faulkner, who lives 6 miles
north and 1 mile west of Mangum,
died. Thursday morning, and was
burricd at the Rock Cemetery, at
Granite. Thursday afternoon.
