i months in Missouri and Dakota, ar-
rived home last Wednesday morning.
She reports a very pleasant visit in
the North.
Mr. and Mrs. Will Randall of
Texas are visiting relatives north of
Arcadia. They were called here by
the death of his brother, George K.
Randall, who died of typhoid fever
at his home north of Arcadia last
week.
Warren Gill obtained from District
Judge George W. Clark a court
order Monday in aid of an execution
issued some time ago against A1 J.
Jennings. The order recites that
the execution for $150 was returned
into court indorsed “no property
louud," aud plaiutilf believes that
Jennings has property, concerning
which he should be competed to give
testimony. Jeuuings is directed to
appear in district court December 13
and testify concerning his property.
The case of state against George
Williams aud Charley Davis charg-
ing use of explosives in the robbery
of the Farmers State bank of Wheat-
land last summer, was continued
Wednesday until December 19. This
case has been set and reset a num-
ber of times. Geoige King, charged
with the same crime with Williams
and Davis, was tried and convicted
in the district court several weeks a-
go, but sentence has never been pass-
ed upon him. The Wheatland bank
was robbed of approximately $1,900.
One day last week an unknown
man and woman were arrested at Mc-
Loud by Marshal McCoy of that
place, on the charge of attempting
to break into a house there. Both
the man und woman had guns on
them. Judge Ross tined the man
(50 and sehtenced him to 30 days in
the county jail at Tecumseh, and
gave the woman a (25 fine and 30
days in jail. It is thought this is
the same couple that robbed a store
at Choctaw recently, as when arrest-
ed they asked the officer if they were
being taken for the job at Choctuw.
The pair were taken to the Tecumseh
jail Friday to serve their sentences.
A report from Choctaw says that no
store had been robbed there, so the
pair must have been in some devil-
ment at some other point.

SHOULD READ THIS '
PROSPERITY ARTICLE
On another page of The News will
be found an article by Elmer FI.
Brown, secretary of the Oklahoma
City chamber of commerce, which
should be read by everyone. Mr.
Brown’s figures show conclusively
that only Missouri excelled Oklaho-
ma this year in production of crops
per square mile, and Oklahoma has
probably five times as much land not
under cultivation at all, as Missouri
has. And adding in the mineral
wealth the total production of the
year is more than twice that of any
of the other Southwestern states.
Mr. Brown’s article ought to be
sufficient answer to the knockers for
all time to come and we sincerely
hope that eyery reader of The News
will read it carefully, then paste it
in his hat, to be brought out the next
time he hears the hammer chorus at
work.

rooming house, where Rogers and
Mrs. Bailey were staying. Bailey

placed against him until it is seen

A mean looking letterhead has
lost many a dollar for business men.
If a man is to be judged by the coat
he wears he is also to be judged by
the letterheads he uses. An artistic

It may be looked upou as a good in-
vestment, and you will never miss it
by investing in the neat work this
office can give you.
