W. L. and W. W. BLACKBURN,
Publishers and Proprietors
A solicitor from a neighboring
town—a town entirely outside of
Beckham and in an adjoining coun-
ty, was in Elk City recently, and, to
U3e the expression of a local business
man, “he got a handful of orders
for printing.” Fine business! Great
incentive to the local newspaper to
boost ihe local town and its institu-
tions and to urge the people to
throw away their catalogs and
“trade at home.”
J. Forsyth Celebrated Thanksgiving
by building a storm porch. He says
lie really can do most anything—
could get out and shovel smoke, if
necessary.
Byron Hunter came from Oklaho-
ma City, where he is attending busi-
ness college, to spend Thanksgiving
at home. He could have had a bet-
ter time no doubt if he had not had
to nurse a bad boil on his hand. But
no doubt it was fine to have a home
to be in at such a time. His brother
Victor was also home from the State
University at Norman.
Olin G. Bell and wife came up
from Norman to spend Thanksgiving
with her parents, MV. and Mrs. G. H.
Crumley. Also their daughter, Mrs.
Austin Fenter and family, were pres-
ent on that day. Mr. and Mrs. Bell
returned Sunday to Norman.
Sam Williams and family, Grand-
pa Williams and Lora, were guests
at the Amos Williams home Thanks-
giving day.

THANKSGIVING SERVICES
Because of the inclement weather
the crowd was not as large at the
Presbyter an church lart Thursday
night as it might otherwise have
been. A large choir was in attend-
ance and the music rendered was
beautiful, indeed.
After a new patriotic song by the
choir, all sang America. Rev. De-
Vore read the Scripture lesson. An
anthem, “Give Thanks to the Lord,"
was rendered by the choir, after
which Rev. DeVore made a prayer.
Mesdames Wm. Francis, R. L.
Reid and W. O. Gibbs sang “God is
Watching Over All.”
Rev. Palmer made the address of
the evening, reading Psalms 105:1-
3, and Genesis 12:1-2. He said while
we could count our blessings and be
thankful for many things, we should
show by our lives that we were
thankful and be obedient to God’s
commands, then shall “your life be
a blessing and the church be a
glory.”
A collection of $10 was taken to
be used in charity work.
