We’re Proud of ’Km.
The Republican is Justly proud of
its corps of Neighborhood News

news from their various localities.
Miss Ruth Henley writes the

sented by Miss Ollie Potter, of Sa-
llna; New Home has a live wire cor-
respondent in the person of Miss
Madallne Fish; Vance Hankins living
east of Choteau. writes the McNair

gether in gathering the Greenbrier
items, Miss Cliffle Sisco and Miss Lu-
la Harris. Hereafter, the items
from the Military district, east of
Pensacola, will be gathered by Miss
Zula Millikan. The Republican is
penetrating to every nook and corner
of the county and our subscription

the Republican. Watch for them.
Services at the Baptist Church.
In the absence of Kev. J. N. Ed-
wards of the Baptist church and
Rev. T. S. Stratton of the Methodist
church, next Sunday morning, the
two churches will combine their ser-
vices and will meet together at the
Baptist church, where Mrs. Childs
will speak. The pastors will both
be filling other engagements, Rev.
Stratton speaking at Chapel, and
Rev. Edwards attending the 50th an-
niversary of the Baptist church at
Atoka.
As there are no services elsewhere
Sunday, all are invited to unite in
this one service, which will begin at
11:00 a. m.
Making the most of these
the Bacone boys romped
around the bases nine times before
the Pryor boys could stop them. In
the last round at bat the Pryor boys
chalked up a single run, making
their total 11, while Bacone had 18
runs to its credit.
The Bacone boys are good sports
and their clean playing won them
many friends.

G. W. Fry, general manager of the
Commonwealth Public Service Com-
pany of Ft Smith Ark., and two
stockholders of the company, were in
Prior Monday, on business, the na-
ture of which they refused to state.
However, it was intimated that de-
velopments of a very interesting na-
ture might be looked for in a short
time. It is thought by some of our
citizens that the Company is about to
gain control of the electric light
plant, as it is understood that these
two corporations have been "flirting”
with oneeanother for some time.
However, the local managers of nei-
ther of these concerns know nothing
about a deal being on foot, and they
probably would not tell if they did,
at this rtage of tpe game.
Oi’ Su (minin' Hole About Rend) .
Jim Whitaker informs the Repub-
lican that the Whitaker Swimming
Pool will be opened for the first
swim of the season, next Sunday af-
ternoon. .Swimming enthusiasts of
all ages are looking forwurd with
pleasurable anticipation to the cool
plunges into the pool during the
coming season. The resort Is in bet-
ter shape than It has ever been be-
fore. A twenty-feet addition has
been built onto the west end of the
dressing room section, making two
more dressing rooms. A 20-foot
high dive" has been erected on the
north side of the pool in readiness
for the "swan dive,” "back flips,"
'.stralght-aways” and other fancy
stunts to be indulged in this season.
’’Rust) HI tigers" Made a Hit.
Three members of the "Rusty
Hinge Quartet." which sang at the
I. O. O. F. banquet here some time
ago. desired to "sing for their sup-
per” Tuesday night when the Pryor
Odd Fellows went to Wagoner to at-
tend the Centenniel celebration.
The first tenor was a minus quanti-
ty and there being no one to take
his place, the problem was solved by
the simple expedient of switching
the low bass to high tenor. The
trio sang their famous hymn, “My
Little Poodle Dog" and responded to
an encore with "Before and After."
Thebunch made a sure enough hit.
M. E. 1 julle* to Muskogee.
Ten women of the Methodist
church weut to Muskogee uu the fliei
yesterday, to be present at the big
Centeaery banquet at the Severs Ho-
tel, which was given at one o.clock p.
m. They returned home in the eve-
ning, after an inspiring and enjoya-
ble meeting.

from this city, are: Mre. Neal B.

proximity to a German shell when II

Ever Go "Nnlp^Huatlng?"
A short time ago, a fellow invited
T. S. Dry, Ben Elliott, Charlie Abbott
and T. A. Huey to come out in the
country on a certain night, a* there
was to be a wolf chase with hounds.
The boys put on their old clothes,
hoarded Abbott's jitney and hied
themselves to the appointed place of
rendezvous. Arriving at the place
where they had been informed the
chase would start, they proceeded to
await the coming or the hounds
They waited until about midnight,
when it began to dawn upon them
that they had been "holding the
. acU" for a hunch of practical Jokers
and beaded for home again. The
boys say they had been taken dowr
the line in their younger days by the
“snipe hunters" and it all came back
to them very vividly. But don't
mention "wolf chase" to 'em, for they
still feel rather raw on that score.

Loag Distance Pigeon Race.
At 7:46 Monday morning, more
than two hundred racing pigeons
owned by the Denver Heights Pigeon
Club, were liberated from the Chart
House square. In Pryor, and began
their race to San Antonio, Texas.
As It happens, San Antonio is exactly
five hundred mile* from Pryor, as
the crow flies, which la the reaaen
the birds were turned loose hero.
A large crowd of townspeople
watched the beginning of the raee.
At exactly 7:45 the doors of the
coops wers thrown open, and In less
than two seconds all of the birds
were in the air. They were unable
at first to get their bearings on ac-
count of the cloudy weather, and a
large flock of them flew north. Five
circled for a few minutes around the
town and then headed south. In a
short time the larger dock returned
from their expedition to ths north
and circled for about twenty minutes
before beginning their southern
flight
Each of the racing birds wan tagg-
ed. The object of the rues is to as-
certain the exact time it taken for a
pigeon to fly the distance ol 640
miles. The ownere probably have
put up beta on individual birds.
Odd FeUous At Wagoner.
About forty-five members of Pryor
Creek Lodge No. 70, 1. O. O.F. went
down to Wagoner Tuesday night to
participate la the Mg Wlldey Day
celebration. They went upon Invi-
tation of Clover Leaf Lodge No. 35
of Wagoner, which had asked the
Pryor lodge to exemplify the work of
the Initiatory Degree. In anticipa-
tion of the event, the team of the
Pryor lodge bad been drilling on the

covered itself with glory and was the
recipient of many expressions of ad-
miration and commendation from the
Wagoner Odd Fellows, as well as ths
visitors from other towns In the dis-
trict And the candidates were
more than satisfied that they bad re-
ceived the worth of their money.
After the work of the evening, ths
lodge closed and repaired to n large
vacant building, where the Indies of
the Rebekah had prepared n sump-
tuous feast for the inner man, con-
sisting of sandwiches, ice cream,
cake and coffee to all of which the
hungry, men did ample justice. It
was after midnight when the Pryor
