FIRST BALE COTTONlI 0UR ANNOUNCEMENT!
East Mam Street

Harve Johnson Living Southeast of Town Receives Big
Price For First Bale and Gets Premium of Several
Dollars From the Merchants.
Hominy received her first bale
of this season's cotton Saturday.
In fact it was the first bale to be
marketed in Osage county. The
cotton was brought to town by
Harve Johnson who lives a few
miles southeast of town. It was of
a good quality and goes to show
that Osage county can produce as
good cotton and as much of it as
any of her sister counties.
The cotton arrived in town about
the middle of the forenoon and it
wasn’t long until the news was
heralded about town that the first
bale had arrived.
Chas. Pettit of the Osage gin
started the bidding at five cents,
Groceryman Walling went him one
better and made it 5.05 but the
bale went to Fraley & Robinson at
5.07^.
The bale biought $89.82 and
with the amount raised as premium
Mr. Johnson received all told
$108.82. The bale weighed 520
pounds and was ginned at the
Fraley & Robinson gin.
GORE SAYS HE IS
NOT A PRESIDEN-
TIAL CANDIDATE.
Buy Right.
The people who have money to
spend this fall for the necessaries
of life should make it a point to
look over the advertisements in
their local paper and then buy
of the merchant who tells you
through its columns of the bargains
he has to offer you. \ou always
buy better and cheaper of the firm
who advertises than you can of the
firm which doesn’t. They want
your business and will make it
a point to hold you as a customer
once you deal with them. They
generally carry a fresh and com-
plete line while the non-advertiser
handles the shelf worn variety.
1 am not a candidate for the
nomination for president. Three
men who are after my seat in the
senate are the only ones who have
interest themselves in the purported
Gore boom.’’
This United States Thomas P.
Gore told 7,000 people in a Labor
Day address from a porch of the
Garfield county court house at
Enid Monday. He spoke for two
hours, and to an audience com-
posed largely of laboring men.
His theme was the laboring man
and his destiny, and his pointed
remark# and epigrams found wel-
come ears. He avoided reference
to national issues, and except by
inueudo to national men ignoring
recent utterances of both President
Taft and Col. Roosevelt.

John D. McCombs Is Dead.
Died at his home in this city on
ast Friday morning, John D.
McCombs, aged about 21 years.
The young man had been sick
or a number of weeks with typhoid
ever and had passed through the
crisis and was on the road to re-
covery when he contracted pneu-
monia from which he died.
The deceased was a popular
young man, was a loving son and
brother and his death is a sad blow
to his family and friends.
Funeral service was held at the
Presbyterian church Saturday
aternoon and the interment took
place at the Drummond cemtery.
The Herald joins in extending
sympathy to the bereaved family
Hill swung a vicious right for the
host’s head but fell short and the
hosts retaliated on Bill by tapping
him on the cocoanut with a slipper
elm club.
Bill and his seconds Clark and
Colston were finally ejected from
the scene of festivities, aud Monday
they made there their appearance
before Judge Peters at this place
and Bill was separated from thirty-
five simoleons for carrying a gun,
while Clark and Colston were
relieved ot $13.80 each for disturb-
ing the peace and quietness of the
denizens of that neighborhood.
While Ex.-President Roosevelt
was delivering a Labor Day address
to an immense crowd at Fargo, N.
D., Monday, he was called a liar
by one of his listeners who forced
himself to the platform just as Mr.
Roosevelt had closed his address.
As he spoke the last sentence of
his speech, the crowd cheered and
there was a rush for the speaker’s
stand by thousands of people who
sought to get near enough to see
Mr. Roosevelt at short range and
to shake hands.
A small, poorly dressed man
pushed his way through the mass
of people until he could make him-
self heard by the Colonel. He
one of our best boosters and town
builders and we are pleased to an-
nounce that he will still remain
w,th us> will take a much
vacation for a while.
We bespeak for the new firm
success.
Let your advertising sell your
goods, instead of the sheriff.
He Stung Ut.
About six weeks ago there drop-
ped into Hominy a man who seem-
ed to be as full of business as a cur
dog is of flees. Ife was in the
show business, being connected in
in some way with the shows given
along this circuit in the Airdome
manner.
He had us print some bills an-
nouncing his entertaiment for that
week which he was due here, but
in some way he left town without
paying for the work. Of course
he merely forgot the matter, but
if we had the name of the dirty
pup we would proceed to give him
a little free advertising and throw
m a few swift punches to the jaw
to boot.
We will agree right here to donate
this office to the cause of sooilalism
if we ever allow another measly
show man to heat us out of a cent.
School Begins.
School opened Monday with a
large enrollment and a full corps
of teachers. Eevery boy and girl
in town that can possibly do so
should go to school now and con-
tinue throughout the entire term.
Parents should make special efforts
to have their children attend.
Those children who have no valid
excuse for remaining out of school
but who just simply don’t want to
go should be made to attend, and
any parents found keeping their
children out of school for no good
reasons should be forced to send
them to school.

COURT RULES
OSAGE DEEDS
ARE ALL VOID
There was an old time country
platform dance given at the home
of Ed. Fansler last Saturday night,
and Ed. had invited all his neigh-
bors and friends to come and
participate.
His invitation was accepted and
everybody for miles around were
there. Among those present
were Bill Parker who has the rep-
utation of being an all round bad
man, Jim Clark and Buck Colston.
It seems that Bill had his war
clothes on as usual and it wasn’t
lond until he begun to hunt trouble.

That the restriction upon the sale
of Osage allotted lands is im-
personal to the allottee and runs
with the land is effective against
alienation after it has been descend-
ed to his heirs, is the substance of

wore a battered hat and was un-

I have a question to ask you
Colonel Roosevelt,” he shouted.
The men and women on the
stand grew slient and Roosevelt
turned and face him.
Waving one arm, the man shout-
ed: “I want to know who is pay-
ing the expenses of this trip of
yours about the country.”
The question angered Colonel
Roosevelt and his face showed it.
He advanced a step toward the
interrogator and shot back the
answer.
I consider that an impertinent
question, he said. However, I
have no objection to telling you,
and he added that the expenses of
the party were being paid by the
magazine of which he is one of the
editors.
^ou lie,” the man shouted
loudly, and a hundred persons in
the crowd could here him. As he
spoke the words, Mr. Roosevelt
stepped forward quickly and seized
his armjust above the elbow.
The vigorous action did not
deter the man from finishing what
he had to say. He shouted out:
"Your expenses are being paid
by the people of the United States.”
Although Mr. Roosevelt was first
to act, others ran quickly to assist
him, and even before the man had
finished his remark two men seized
him. The Colonel did not release
his grip until the stranger was
moving rapidly from the stand.
He was ejected from the platform
and swallowed up in the excited
crowd, but was later arrested-.
We understand that this burg is
soon to lose the citizenship of Prof.
Roscoe Brady and his estimable
wife. Roscoe will lay aside the
razor and shears and go to Black-
burn where he will take over the
management of his father’s mer-
cantile business. We hate to lose
Mr. and Mrs. Brady form our midst.
Roscoe has been the guiding spirit
of the Hominy band and through
his efforts Hominy could lay claim
to the best young band in the state.
But as the best of friends must
part, we wish them unbounded suc-
cess in their new' venture and hope
they will not forget that Hominy
always stands ready to welcome
them back. They will leave for
their new home about the first of
next week.
When a woman receives her
first check from a publishing com-
pany she makes more fuss about it
than a country editor does over a
mess of roasting ears that Farmer
Brown presents to him. Our wife
received a check Saturday from the
publishers of the Women’s Home
Companion in payment for one of
her effusions sent then some time
ago and ever since that she has been
trying to rule the roost. We don’t
know just how we will come out
in the contention, but if the checks
will continue to come in we will be
willing to allow her to take part of
the burden off our hands of keep-
ing up the house, etc.

Walling Grocery Sells.
I he \\ ailing GsQcery Co. lias
sold out its business to local parties
and the store hereafter will be
known as the Stoutimore Grocery
Co.
The deal was consumated yester-
day. The stock will be moved in-
to the new firm’s own building
on East Main street during the
next two weeks.
The Herald hates to see Mr.

trious namesake lie does things.
Last Saturday afternoon he thought
lie would take a look around, and
escaping from the yard he went up
town, finally winding up at the
Presbyterian church where a fun-
eral was in progress. He behaved
himself all right for a while, until
he spied another dog down the ailse
when something happened. By the
combined efforts of the ushers he
was finally put out side. -He
doesn’t seem to like the treatmeut
he received much, and we are of
the belief that the next time he
goes to church he will attempt to
play even with those who ejected
him.
One trouble with Hominy is there
are too many fellows here hutting
into the other fellow’s business.
Their time could he fully occupied
if they would attend to their own
business.
