grieved to learn of her death on
Thursday, December 23rd. She Wls
forty years old, and leaves a hus-

Mrs. Whittenburg recently had a sale
and intended moving to Oklahoma

Bethany school there, when she took
sick with inflammatory rheumatism
from which she did not recover. The
deceased lady was a most -eorisecrat-
ed Christian, belonging to the Nazar-
ine church. Those present by her
death bed realized the beauty of be-
ing a Christian when death calls. She
suffered so much physical pain, but
was always praising her Master, and
just before she died she joined in a
song with friends, then peacefully
passed away.
A large number of friends attend-
ed the funeral services and the body
was laid to rest in the Page cemetery

We hope some one will send us a
fitting obituary of this noble woman.

WHITE CROSS SUNDAY
Last Sunday, the Broadway Me-
thodist Church had a membership
drive for White Cross members and
a large number are now wearing
their buttons. The membership dues
are $1.00 for adults and 25 cents
for children. The proceeds will go
this year to the Methodist Hospital
at Guthrie.
CHRISTMAS AT THE
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
This year the Presbyterian Sab-
bath school on Thursday night, the
/3rd, departed from the conventional
plan of giving itself a good Christmas i
time and tried the “White Gifts for
the King” method of celebrating the
nativity. The result was so satis-
factory the school will probably never
abandon the plan. No mention was
made of u Santa Claus but all was
Jesus Christ; instead of gifts for each
other, the gifts in white were placed
at the foot of a- white cross in the
name of Christ for other people. The
universal testimony is that it was the
most satisfying Christmas service
ever attempted by the school, the
most easily prepared and most pro-
ductive of happiness and goodwill.
The program committee were
Mrs. Allen, Mrs. Hewlett, Mrs. Tracy,
Miss Hedlund, Miss Opal Elliott. The
program had many numbers of a
special character. All did well in
their several parts. The pulpit space
had been appropriately arranged with
curtains, drapery, star, cross, manger
and other necessary settings. The
mistletoe employed had been sent by
Mrs. Posey, the wife of the recent
pastor of the church, to be first used
in the church and then distributed to
her friends.
After the program, the classes of
(he school, beginning with the little
tots, came forward with their gifts
for the King, each reciting Scripture
or original verses expressive of the
spirit of Christ in giving. 'The Ladies
Aid Society also made a generous do-
nation.
A treat for the school had been
prepared by the following committee:
Mrs. Rumberger, Mrs. Thomas, Mrs.
Tomlinson, Mrs. McComas. assisted
by others of the congregation.
BASKET BALLL VICTORIES
The Elk City Basket Ball shooters
scored a decided victory-' over the
Carter quintett on Friday, December
17th by a score of 30 to 20.
It was our first game on the home
court. From the first tip off there
was no doubt of the end thereof.
Extra practice had put they boys in
extra fine shape.
The Wednesday following the
locals scored another victory over
the Y. M. C. A, 20 to 8.
We are going to have the stage
of the new school building for a
basket ball court. There we can give
all our supporters plenty of room. So
watch for our announcement.
Our team is to be strengthened by
three of last years stars besides two
of Carter’s best players. We play:
Dill, January 21, there.
Cheyenne, January 28, here.
Leedey, open, here.
Clinton, open, here.

Mr. and Mrs. N. Kirson returned
last week from El Reno where Mr.
Kirson had been taking treatment at
the Sanitarium for several weeks. He
is much improved.
Tom Utt of Dilworth, Okla., came
in and spent Christmas with relatives
and friends, joining his wife here,
who has been visiting her mother,
Mrs. White. He left Sunday while
Mrs. Utt will remain for a longer
visit.
The travel on the railroads was
not as heavy as in former years dur-
ing the holidaays. One reason we
suppose, there was no reduced rates.

ing and had the Library beautifully

ted plants and at each plate a sprig

Wright, who is ever thoughtful of the
Club.
After the inner man had been
