PROVED TO BE A JOKE
The store published in The News
last week relative to the finding of a

tempting to play a joke on Deputy

TEGELER BRINGS SUIT
AGAINST THE POINTER

murder of James R. Meadows, has
filed suit in the superior court again-
st the Tucker Brothers Publishing
Co. for $50,000 libel, alleging that
a story published in Sunday morn-
ing’s issue of The Daily Pointer has
damaged him to that extent. The
story in substance stated that Tegel-
er had’been found in an alleged boot-
legging joint at 32[> West Grand

MAN FLEECED CATHOLICS,
IS NOW BEHIND THE BARS
Joseph O’Connor, who is said to
have induced more than a hundred
members nf the Catholic church at
Oklahoma City to subscribe for a
mythical religious publication call-
ed 'Extension," was arrested at the
city last week. ,
It is charged that he first visited a
local priest and secured unties of
prominent Catholics and made such
explanation as to satisfy bis intend-
ed victims that the publication was
bouafled. He took the cash and
failed to send the literature. Be-
cause of letters and pictures found
upon him, it is believed that O'-
Connor is an assumed name. The
officers have questioned him closely
but he persistently remains sileut
concerning himself.

NEVER ASSISTED A BIT-THE
NEWS LIVES JUST THE SAME
Ten years ago when the manager
of The News came to Jones and an-
nounced that a weekly paper would
be published here, parties came to us
and told us we could not do it, and
had better go to some other town.
These same parties never contributed
H cent toward the support of the pa-
per. They are gone, no one knows
where, but the News still lives
A few individuals say our daily
editions next week will not be a suc-
cess, but they will not contribute to-
ward helping it along. The News
says it will be a success, and only
asks our friends to wait and see.
This daily paper will he the great-
est advertisement this town, or any
other town ever had. Yon could not
find another anywhere in a town the
size of Jones, if you would hunt the
world over
METHODIST CHURCH PEOPLE
TO BUILD PARSONAGE HERE
At a meeting of the official board
ol the M. K. Church Mondav night,
at which the pastor, The Rev. L. A.
Edmonds was present, it was de-
cided to build a parsonage in Jones
City. The Ladies’ Aid Society, we
understand, have pledged $200 for
that purpose, and the members of
I the church and others will raise the
balance.
The parsonage will probably be
bnilt on lots in lnterurban addition.
This is something the church here
lias long needed, and we are glad to
see the start made.
1). S. Levy, formerly secretary of
the county election board bus been
reappointed to that place by the
state election board. W. H. Hamp-
ton, democrat, who was named by
the slate election hoard to succeed
Levy when the latter resigned, dur-
ing the post election squabbles last
month failed to qualify. Levy was
appointed to act until , the appoint-
ment of a new board which will be
when a new state board is selected
by Governor Oruce next month.
Steps will be taaen by the precincts,
so that each voting place will have
not moae than two hundred voters.
This work is to be completed by
January To.

ON INTERURBAN LINE

Next week the News will need lots
of news to publish in the extra edit-
ion of The News, so that the readers
ofTlie News may know the news.
So tell us the news so that we may
make a good paper each day.
