wishes from a number of friends who
had learned that the eightieth mile-
stone of life would have been reached
by MrB. Chapman the next day. A
piece ot gold was presented Mrs.

time, so runneth the record, B. F.
Chapman was a trustee, steward, ush-
er, secretary of the official board and
secretary of the quarterly conference,
all at the same time. Brother Chap-
men was assured that he and his fam-

that he would be greatly missed from
his accustomed place in his pew where
for so many years his face has regu-
larly greeted the pastor. A piece of
gold was presented Brother Chapman

tribute in memory of the first Aid
society of which she, Mother Chap-
man, Mrs. Martha Munson, and Jemi-
ma Davenport Derry are the surviv-
ing members.

Christian influence of this family as
neighbors and friends.
Mr. Chapman made feeling response
to all the expressions of good-will,
dwelling with loving memory on in-
cldents of early church life in El
Reno, bidding it and its people a lov-
ing good bye.

W. T. JONES DIED SUDDENLY.
William T. Jones, forty-eight years
old, died Sunday night at 11:45 o’clock
after an illness of fifteen minutes dur-
ation. Death resulted from blood co-
agulating. Mr. Jones had been a res-
ident of this city the last six years
and w-as engaged in the transfer busi-
ness. He formerly resided at Billings,
Okla. Deceased is survived by his
wife, two daughters, Edna and Mar-
ian and one son. William, and a step-

APPOINTED LAND APPRAISERS.

to thirty-five cents. The price of
short orders were correspondingly ad-
vancod and it was decided to charge
fifteen cents for two eggs, whereas
the price up to that time had only
been ten cents. The caterers say
they cannot acquire as much profit
on fifty-cent eggs as they could a few
months ago w’hen they were serving
two for a dime.
In some of the towns the restaurant
owners refuse to serve eggs, claiming
it is impossible to get them, it is
averred they do not want to serve
them. Tt has reached a point where

in Canadian county for the Oklahoma
City waterworks project. The gentle-
men made a trip to the east side of the
county Monday and viewed many
acres, however, they passed on one

500 acres of Canadian county land will
be under water when the waterworks
system is completed.
GROWING INTEREST IN SERMONS
A growing Interest is being taken in
the series of sermons at the Presby-
terian church on Sunday evenings,
and in the sermon preludes on “What
the War Is Teaching.” On next Sun-
day evening the sermon-prelude will
he a review of ljr. Charles Jeffer-
son’s lecture on “What Is in Man,
the second lecture in his series de-
livered before the students and fac
ulty of Ohio Wesleyan university.
<The sermon will be the third one of
the series leading up to the birth of
Christ. The subject will be “The
Stone Rejected by the Builders.”
tads.”
My next deal resulted in securing
a new one in the person of W. J.
Storhr, one of the ,, eminent young
farmers residing on route two from
this city. He farmed 110 acres this
year and he has 70 acres of wheat for
the coming season, the remainder of
the tillable land to be utilized for
growing feed crops. Mr. Stoehr is
specializing in the dairy business and
has 25 good dairy cows, which pro-
duce about 25 gallons for the milk
market every day. His other live-
stock embraces 32 hogs and pigs and
12 horses. I was pleased to secure
his name.
The European war managed lo get
back on the front page after American
political differences were settled.
Immediately after closing this deal
I secured a renewal from E. D. Wag-
ner, who is one of the hustling farm-
ers residing on route three from this
city. Mr. Wagner is numbered with
those who are keeping Canadian coun-
ty on the map and I appreciated get-
ting his renewal.
President Wilson used to be a sum-
mer boarder in New Hampshire and
a lot of folks remembered it.
Herman Zllsdorf. of Marshall, North
Dakota, will be a new reader of The
American. The subscription was paid
by his brother, E. W. Zilsdorf, one of
the progressive young farmers of
Union City neighborhood. E. W. is a
hustler and is making a success of
the farming business.

INJURED HIS LEG.
While A. A. Cowden, deputy sheriff,
and wife were making a trip beyond
the South Canadian Monday their au-
tomobile became stalled on a hillside
and the official feared the car would
roll down hill and find lodgment in
the depths of a precipice and he
jumped from the automobile to give
a boost and in his determination to
prevent an accident he overtaxed his
strength and came out of the ordeal
with the ligaments of his left limb
badly sprained.
