SEVEN “GRADS" AT iCIBBY.
Rev. R. K. Duncan went to

ment address to the graduating

Scared? Well, Just Ask
Those Who Were There!
SCHOOLS CLOSED FRIDAY.
Vacation- days for the
“kiddies'* here. They came
with the closing of the schools
Friday after a nine months’
session. . The commencement
exercises were held Thursday
night. The address was de-
livered by Prof. M. E. Wood,
head of the department o
psychology and education at the
Alva state normal. His theme
was “The Fruits of Education.
Two seniors. Archie Myers ant
Miss Anna Dean, were awarded
diplomas.
SLIGHT DAMAGE FROM HAIL.
The weekly shower Sunday
afternoon brought considerable
wind, and in many localities more
or less hail. Reports from Ellis
county are to the effect that
crops in several neighborhoods
were badly damaged by the pelt-
ing stones. Wind at Arnett
damaged the courthouse roof and
blew down outbuildings. Storms
were reported generally thruout
the state. Two persons were
killed at Okeene and one near
Shawnee. Considerable property
damage has also been the result
of the varioua twisters.
Friends of Rev. R. K. Dun-
can yesterday morning were
positive in their convictions
that he appeared at least ten
years older than he did the
day before. Anyhow his
hair was about that many
degrees grayer.
It happened thusly: Tues-
day night was Mr. Duncan’s
regular appointment atNorth
Star and he had gone out to
the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Nova Godard where they
were visiting and waiting
for the hour of services.
The Godards had been clean-
ing house and in removing a
curtain pole left a loaded
shotgun above a center door
exposed in such a manner
that when a side door was
thrown back it came in con-
tact with the trigger of the
weapon. It was about dusk
when all were talking and
preparing to start for church.
Mr Godttrd leaned against
the door which swung back
and hit the trigger of the
firearm, exploding the shell
and emitting a blast that
sounded for all the world like
a four point seven howitier.
In the rebound the weapon
flung itself from its moor-
ings. and simultaneous with
the terrific detonation landed
upon the heads of Mrs.
Godard and Cleo, stunning
both for a brief space of
time. For an instant no
one knew what had happen-
ed. The house was full of
stifling smoke, and it was
feared that both Mrs. God-
CAKE LASTS 30 YEARS.
Thomas A. Harper, a well
known and popular farmer of
the county has a record for
eating cake that probably cannot
b e excelled. I n 1891 Mrs.
Harper, who was then single,
baked a birthday cake. Harper's
birthday anniversary is February
12th. and on that date in 1891, he
ate a piece of the cake baked by
the young lady who later became
his bride. Every year since that
date Mr. Harper has eaten
portion of the same cake and
still has enough left to last
several years.
Mr. Harper also has three gol<
dollars that have been in his
possession for 35 years, and is
the owner of a violin made in
1695 —Leedey Herald.
PICKLE 49 YEARS OLD.
Dr. Leachman has a pickle
which he prizes very highly.
This pickle has been proverbial
in holding his family together
and is now 49 years old. It was
a wedding present given to him
by an old colored woman who
was very superstitious. She
grew the pickle in a bottle to
normal size, then clipped from
the vine and sealed it up in alum
water. She gave the doctor an
application of the supernatural
power of the pickle and told him
if the pickle held together his
family would hold together, and
if the pickle went to pieces his
family would go to pieces. 1 he
theory of the colored woman has
worked out in the doctor’s favor
and has created no little rever-
ence for her ceremony 49
years ago.—Sharon News.
Hasn’t Missed a Day of
School in Seven Years
“Uncle George’’ Brant was a
business visitor in Woodward
Friday.
Mr. and Mrs. P. B. Zerby left
Sunday for Oklahoma City to
attend the state convention of
bankers.
Forrest Benton of ChickaBha
spent the latter part of last week
with his parents, Mr. and Mrs
J. M. Benton of the Benton Flats
neighborhood.
Dr. H. E. Stecher, Prof. W. E.
Myers and Jess Hudson spent
Monday campaigning in Ellis
county.
Rev. E. L. Loller, formerly
pastor of the Methodist church
here, was in Woodward Wednes-
day to receive chiropractic tre- t
menta for a lame shoulder and
came up to Supply on the local to
spend the afternoon and night
with friends.
Miss della Root sustained
sprained ankle Friday night at
the Myers surprise party.
Miss Mary Ann Black, teacher
in the Oklahoma City schools,
came down this week for a visit
with her sisters, Mrs. Susan
Gray and Miss I.izabeli Black.
Mrs. T. A. Young and son,
Loren, left Saturday for Wichita
Kans., where they will make
their future home. Mrs. Young
expects to engage in keeping
boarders and roomers.
0. S. (Hop) Compton was
called to Joplin, Mo., last Friday
on account of the serious illness
of his daughter, Mrs. George
Martin. Mrs. Martin underwent
a successful operation on the
18th and is doing nicely so far,
according to word received this
week from Mr. Compton-
Miss Christene Cunning-
ham. eldest daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Kay Cunningham,
holds an enviable record in
the matter of school attend-
ance. Since she started in
seven years ago she hasn’t
missed a day. Neither has
she been tardy in all that
time. She was proudly ex-
hibiting an arm load of
certificates and other attes-
tations of her achievements
at the close of the schools
here last week. In addition
to her seven certificates of
perfect attendance and
punctuality she holds one
diploma of honor which may
be obtained only by a perfect
attendance record extending
over a period of five consec-
utive years. This is signed
by the state superintendent,
county superintendent,
teachers and school board,
and is something that any-
one should justly feel proud
of. It is a valuable souvenir
that any pupil might well
treasure and point to with
pride in after years as well
as at the present time.
Twila, her younger sister,
is following in Christene’s
footsteps. This completes
her third year in school and
three perfect attendance
certificates have been award-
ed her. Neither has Twila
been tardy a single time in
all her three years of school
attendance.

ADVERTISING BROUGHT RESULTS.
“Advertising in your paper hea
brought splendid results; in fact
have been swamped with
orders from Supply,” write*
Paul Gregg of Woodward who
three weeks ago placed an ed
with The Republican telling of
his sweet potato and tomato
planta which he has for sale.
NO LOSS TO THE CHURCH.
Because he baptized a dog and
asked a blessing irreverently
over French fried potatoes, a
Boston preacher has had to leave
the church. And the same thing
has happened to the Oklahoma
clergyman who conducted a
bathing-Buit wedding. These
jazz times seem to affect even
the pulpit.
