LOCAL NEWS NOTES..
O. D. Dean of Adair, Iowa, is vis-
iting his brother, Hugh Dean and
family.
Occasionally a load ct cotton
comes in to our gins, but it is not
first-class.

Patton were shopping in Oklahoma
City Monday.

Ark , visited his wife, who is stay-
ing here for some time, returning
home Monday night.

He is now resting easy.
A number from Carney and vi-
^ cinity were summoned to Chandler
Tuesday as witnesses in the case of
Rev. G. J. Clark who brought suit
against the trustees of the Baptist
church for bacu salary.
Young men who fill up on bootleg
whiskey and stand on the street cor-
ner using profane and obscene lan-
guage, shoull be dealt with. Our
town authorities should wake up and
give the citizens protection from these
scenes.
The high school pie supper last
Friday night was successfully pulled
off and the Basket Ball Team whose
benefit it was given for, will go to
Luther Saturday and learn the
Basket Ball Team of that place how
to play the game.
The Fallis Gazette refused toj di*
last week as announced in that paper
and the Enterprise, that it had pass-
ed in it's checks. Bro. Ashley, the
editor, has concluded to stick awhile
longer. It's a pretty poor town that
won't support a local paper. Here's
hopeing the Gazette will weather the
storm and come out with flying
colors.
Our High School basket ball team
and a small bunch of rooters left
this morning, for Luther to play the
High School team there. The boys
are confident of a victory. The
coach says, "The team is in prim
condition for this game, much better
than it has ever been before." The
continual signal and opposition prac-
tice has enabled them to compete
with any other team in the county.
Should be Stopped,
Complaint is made by a number
of people living in the neighborhood
of Dudley, three miles west of here,
that bootlegging whiskey and gam-
bling among several negroes and
white persons are openly carried on.
Parties from town and vicinity go
out there to drink, gamble and in-
sult negro women.
We are informed that on last Sat
urday night several white young
men attacked a negro woman on the
public highway, and the people of
that vicinity threaten to take action,
if the officers won't, to rid the neigh-
borhood of gamblers and bootleggers

"How does it happen that you are
five minutes late this morning?"

ma'am," said Maude, I must have
over slept myself this morning."
The Bazaar a Success.
The Bazaar held last Saturday
by the ladies of the Christain church
w^as a success in every way. In fact
these ladies usually make a success
of whatever they undertake. They
had all kinds of fancy and dainty
articles for sale and practically dis-
posed of them all. They also serv
ed a most apetising, dinner,the tab'e
was loaded with the best the counir/
supplies—chicken pie,cakes and pies
of different kinds, in fact a great va-
riety of all good things to eat.
The ladies did well, realizing
$49.25, this amount will.add largely
to their treasury.
An Explanation.
I would like the people of Carney
and community to know that the re
port that was given out that I would
shoot, or have arrested, anyone that
came or. my place when my daugh
ter was married, was all false. I
never made any such threats to any
one or of anyone.
Very respectfully,
C. M. Hall.
Revival Meetings.
Revival meetings at the Christain
church will coumence tomorrow
night. The meeting will be con-
ducted with heme forces, assisted
by Singing Evangelist, Cecil Brooks,
who comes to us highly recommend-
ed for his chorus direttory and
splendid voice.
J. WALTER TURNER,
Who needs no introduction to tie
people of Carney, insures interest-
ing services. His earnest and fear-
less way of presenting the gospel is
instructive,and edifying to his hear-
ers.

Lone Star.

telephone office.

Almost every one in this vicinity
finished their cotton picking during
the pretty weather of last week.
Oh, such miserable weather as we
have been having the past few days
A change would be welcomed.
Will Continue Right Through The
Holidays.
Owing to our Urge attendance,
and many students from great dis-
tance that could not go home for the
holidays, others anxious to finish
their courses that they may be thru
in the early part of the year, we
will give no vacation except on
Christmas day. New students may
continue to enroll and take up the
work to the very best advantage
without being interrupted with a va-
cation. And those who enroll during
the holidays will have the advantage
of getting a start of a large number
which will give those beginning first
the lead. All who can take advant-
age of the opportunity and who in-
tend to take a business course should
come as early after Christmas as
possible.
The Capital City Business College
has won it's reputation by the success
of so many young people placed in
good positions thruout the state, and
is the only school allowed to use the
Famous Byrne Simplified Shorthand
and Practical Bookkeeping. People
are finding that a graduate that has
the course given in these practical
systems is placed in a paying posit-
ion several months sooner than a
giaduate from any school using the
old difficult, theoretical systems.
0 ily three to four months time is
rtquired in the C. C. B. C. for a
student to finish in shorthand and
typewriting and four months time in
bookkeeping and typewriting.
Fill in name, address and course
pieterred, and mail to Capital City
Business College, Guthrie, Okla.
We will promptly mail you our cat-
alogue which states plainly why we
can afford to make the above claim
with reference to our systems and
the amount of time and money we
can save you.
