Freeman spent Sunday at
H. R. Putnam, Editor.
Entered as second-class matter April 1, 1911.
at the post office at Asher. Oklahoma, under
the Act of March 3,1879.
Issued once a week at Asher, Ok.
Subscription $1.00 per year.
Copy for advertising and all correspondence
should reach this office not later than Tuesday
evening each week.
This is one time when we
want a holiday vacation, so there
will be no issue of the Progress
next week. We believe our
readers will be willing to grant
us one week holiday this year.
We did not take it last year, and
it gets awl'ul monotonous, this
weekly grind from one year’s
end to another. So we say,
again, do not expect your Pro-
gress next week. We wish you
all a Merry Christinas and a
Happy New Year.
