Here’s' Your Chance!
In order to get the Champion,
which is now the official county pa-
per, into as many homes of the coun-
ty as possible, and for the further
purpose of testing the sincerity of
some Populists who claim that they
are too poor to take the paper, we
have decided to make this offer:
To all who will get up a ciub of five
paid up yearly subscribers to the
Champion we will send the paper
one year FREE. Here is the oppor-
tunity for those who allege that they
cannot afford to pay for a county pa
per. Get a hustle on you, now, and
begin sending iu names of parties
orming the club at any time.
Bring your job printing to the
Champion.
Union Sunday School, one mile
north and one and one half mile east
of Maywood will observe Oklahoma
day next Sunday. Appropriate ex-
ercises have been arranged for the
occasion.
The shortcomings in the make-up
of the Champion of last week and
this are due to one of those religion-
straining mishaps that occasionally
occur iu the best of well-regulated
print shops, a pied form. Under
such circumstances our readers
must be indulgent. We are clear-
ing away the debris as rapidly as
possible.
Representative Graves had a nine
pound tumor removed from his left
shoulder last week, and is able to

compress, which would be of inesti-
mable value to the city.
The new city officers were install-

boasted of their “business methods”

the late campaign, assisting in his
defeat. Since the election the re-
