Death of E. E. Smith
E. E. Smith died at his home in
shi> city early Wednesday morning
at the age of 63 years. The cause
of his death was kidney trouble, from
which he had been a sufferer for stn
oral years, though the illness which
(tonliued him to his room was of Ini!
short duration.
Funeral services were held at the
Methodist church Thursday nftcruo >n
conducted by pastor, Rev. Rock, n-
-istcil by the other local pastors, nf
tier which the body was laid to its
final rest in Eairview cemetery.
The church was beautifully dec-
orated with flowers and in spite ol
the downpour of rain was well filled
with those who had come out t<> puy
a last tribute of respect to u beloved
neighbor. Rev. Hogan, of the Pres-
byterian church, read the Scripture
icsson from the 14th chapter of
John, after which the congregation
stood m prayer, led lid Rev. Nance, of
tjlie Baptist church. Rev. Rock then
delivered a touching and very appro-
priate sermon from the text: "I will
Hot leave you comfortless; 1 will conn
Unto you." The message was filled
with comfort for the bereaved ones
and pointed to the hope of a glad re-
union beyond the tonili. The clos-
V- prayer was by Elder Poe, of the
Christimii church.
A choir from the various churches
under the leadership of II. II. Brown,
rendered very appropriate music, the
selections being: “It is Well With
My Soul," “Abide With Me," “Safe
tu the Arms of Jesus” nml Asleep in
Jesus." A oumber of beautiful flor-
al wreathes were placed upon the
casket by friends of the departed,
beautiful floral wreaths were placed
upon the casket by friends of the de-
parted. ,
Mr. Smith had been a resident of
this community ever since the open-
ing, with the exception of about a
year spent in western Oklahoma. 11c
was the original lessee of the school
quarter adjoining town on the east
now occupied by W. R. Lambeth,
which he sold several years ago to VV.
S. Delia mi, and by a strange co-inci-
dence, both Mr. Smith and Mr. De-
Baun died on the same morning. Mr.
Smith was a man of sterling Chris-
tian character who wits respected
and esteemed by all who knew him;
who made friends of all nnd enemies
of none.
He is survived by seven children
and a host of friends, who mourn his
dcpartnn\ all of whom have the sin-
cere sympathy of the entie communi-
ty.
Boys, Read This
Have you ever noticed that the fel-
lows tlint run most of tin* big con-
cerns of tin* country arc the ones who
always return courteous answers. If
you address the president of a rail-
road lie will listen attentively and
make you a decent reply. 1 tut you
ask a ei\il question of the cuh at a
depot in a country town and you will
get a smart and flipping reply. Go
into a big city store and a-k for the
manager. He will talk pleasantly
and give you the desired information.
But happen to get in the way of the
bright young fellow who is washing
a window send he will hand you a
package that will make your blond
boil. But drop around twenty years
later and the cuh at the depot may
have advanced until In* is a break-
man on the local freight and the win-
dow washer will likely Ik* driving one
of the delivery wagons tor the store.
The presidents of railroads and llu*
managers of big concerns are the
fellows who in flowery days of their
youth acquired the habit of returning
soft and courteous answers. Timt is
one of the reasons they became rail-
road presidents and managers of
big concerns. The cuh who knows
more than the president nf the rail-
road will always la* a cub, and the
alecy window washer will still he
polishing glass in tin* autumn time
of his days.—Ex.
Mrs. Holcomb Gets Life Sentence

Death of W. S. DeBaun
\Y. S. DeBaun died Wednesday
morning at his home in this city, al-
der suffering nil winter with asthma,
which confined him to hi> room, lie
was unable to lie down in lied and
spirit the greater part of the winter
sittiny in his chair night and day,
gradual)’ growing weaker. He had
realized for some time that the end
w as not far off and was ready to go,
looking into the future, not simply
as one who believed and w ith the eye
of faith, hut as one who knew in
’whom he had put his trust and in full
confidence that He was able to go
with him through even the valley and
shadow of death. The (Mid came
peacefully Wednesday morning.
Funeral services will lie held Sun
day afternoon at 2:00 o'clock at the
Christian church, of which he had
berti a faithful elder for over forty
years. The services will Ik* conduct-
ed by pastor, Elder Poe, assisted by
the other local pastors.
In the passing away of Mr. De-
Baun our community has lost un-
other of il*> most worthy citiwns;
one who will be greatly missed both
as a citizen and in the church organi-
zation in whose services he took his
greatest delight. On liehnlt at the
community The Week’s Review ex-
tends sympathy to the sorrowing
rlativc- and friends.
A more extended account of the
lives of both Mr. DcHnun and Mr.
Smith will appear in this paper next
week.

»* began a search for the valuable
animal. I’ihui going to the ham he
found that the dog had committed
suicide. The dead body was hanging
iy n rope to a rafter. The doctor is

and then jumped off’ into space.
But then, you know, anything is
likely to happen in Lawton.

The Person Who Pays
CASH
Should do his trading nt n cash store, where he gets the most
for the money. Especially is this true in times when money is
scarce and hard to get.
Wilt'll you trudo at a credit store you help to pay the bills of
those who buy but do not pay. Whenever u credit business ia conduct-
ed there is a certain percentage of bad accounts. The merchant must
make his cash customers pay enough to cover these losses or it is
only a question of time until he will be forced into the bankruptcy
courts.
We are doing a strictly cash bu-iness at this store, consequent-
ly we have none of these credit los-cs to charge to our [laying cus-
tomers. For this reason we are able to sell STRICTLY HIGH
GRADE goods at prices which cannot be made bv credit groceries.
Look over these prices and remember that these are only a
few of the many articles on which wc cun save you money. Re-
member ulso that these ure not special sale prices good only for
a limited time, hut that they are every day prices at this store.
