—Manchester has developed Into
one of the best, if not tbe very best
markets in the whole country for
kaflr corn and cane seed. While the
other towns are ottering50 to 60cents
per bushel, the fanner, who brings
his cane and kaflr to Manctiester
carries away from 95 cents to $1 per
bushel for it, and the market is still
on the up grade. Abe Slaughter is
largely responsible for the stiff mar-
ket here, and by reason of this fact
Is getting a good share of the grain
It may seem a little strange, but
there appears to be more good cane
and kafir seed in the vicinity or
Manchester than in all other parts of
the country combined, aod it is the
scarcity of these articles that causes
the buyers here to bid so high above
all theother towns.
—The Bee Hive store never allows
a good opportunity to go by. In
order to make their own price on
flour, and avoid molestation from
tDe milling trust by reason of low
prices, Mr. Thomas taashis own flour
sacks manufactured and has them
filled by the Harper Milling Company.
In this way he can sell flour at his
own price and the milling trust can’t
stop him. He ha9 one brand the
“Bee Hive,” which he guarantees as
fine as any flour ever put on the
market, and sells it at $1.75 per
hundred. Every sack is fully war
ranted and money will be cheerfully
refunded if the flour is not just what

—New houses continue to go up in
different parts of town, and we still
think Manchester will make a town
of 1000 inhabitants, and that before
long. Taking them all through, we
have tbe best set of business men of
any town in this part of the country.
The other towns follow Manchester’s
prices, or try to, and are constantly
“in hot water” because of the wide
awake and progressive spirit shown
by our merchants and business men
generally. Tbe trade that comes
here has more than doubled in the
la9t year and is still increasing. If
you have a thought of getting in on
the ground floor at Manchester,
better not delay any longer.

WILL D. CLARK,
District Agent,
Manchester, - Okla.
—W. L. Clark, who opened the
new carpenter shop next to Pierce &
Cotter's second hand store, Is finding
plenty to do. Mr. Clark manufac-
tures a churn that beats anything
we ever saw for taking the butter
nut of milk, and they are so cheap
that all can have one.
—Wm. McGlbbon has taken It upon
himself to see that the Journal has
a weekly letter from Gibbou in the
future. This paper has for some time
desired to hear weekly from that
locality, and dow that Mr. McGlbbon
has taken hold of the matter we
expect to have a bright, newsy
letter from that vicinity every week.
Mr. McGlbbon wilt not do tbe cor-
responding himself, but will get
some one to do it who has more time.
—Mrs. Stowers, wife of Mosc
Stowers, living at Camchester, has
been sick for about two weeks under
tbe care of Dr. Snow,who reports her
apparently as well u usual except
that (be has become temporarily
insane, aod there Is no assurance
that her derangement will not prove
permanent. She is a lady 49 years of
age and has been an Invalid for a
number of years. There was some
talk of removing her to the asylum
at Osawatomie. Kanaas. for treat-
ment, but this plan has been given
up and she will be kept In a room at
Camchester and continue under Dr.
Snow’s treatment.
—Brick work on tbe new I. O.O.F.

begun on Monday, and it will be but
few days with favorable weather
until the walls will be up. Mr.
LittleDaue of Antbooy has the con-
tract for the brick work and Ralph
MeCune the carpenter work. The
building will probably be completed
and ready for occupancy In about
six weeks. This is the second 2-
story hrirk. so feet in length, to go
up in Manchester this vear, and the
indications are several others will
follow with the opening of the
coming spring.
—A saloon license asked for by
party from Ren fro w, was protested
on tiie ground that since the liquor
notice was published in the Medford
Star and Renfrow Tribune, it had
not been published in the two papers
having the largest circulation in tbe
county. Legally, it is figured that
every copy of a paper is read by five
people. The editors of these two
papers refused to divulge the nuru
ber of subscribers they have: the
commissioners did not care to raise a
fuss and so granted tbe license.
—Dr. Snow says he believes he is
the first person in Manchester to
recelvea Christmas present. While
Station Agent Voorhees was gone
the doctor had charge of his little
girl, who was quite sick. When Mr.
Voorhees returned he found his little
girl about well, and feeling that he
ought to show bis appreciation in
some way besides the usual fee, he
presented Dr. Snow with a fine box
of cigars.
—W. F. Smith sold the business
lot on which he is doing business to
E. Cordray, the brick mao, and will
close out his business and move tiie
building to another lot. Mr. Cordray
paid $300 cash for the naked lot, and
the Journal thinks he bought very
cheap. lie bought for the express
purpose of building a 2-story brick
building, which he says he will build
as soon as the work can be done next
spring.
—R. W. Weaver, 9 miles west of
town, will sell at public sale on
