A GUARANTEED DEPOSITORY k
When an intelligent and careful person seeks a bank in which
to deposit his money, the ‘safety first” idea is uppermost in his
mind, and-he seeks a bank whose deposits are guaranteed by the
state law, like the American State Bank of Pryor.
No depositor 6ver lost a dollar in an Oklahoma State Bank
that failed since the depositors guarantee law went into effect.
That’s a wonderfiil record, and deserves special attention by the
careful man.
It costs this bank a handsome sum, in annual premiums, to
have all of its money, deposited by its many patrons, absolutely
insured against loss from any cause whatsoever.
Keep in mind that all of the deposits of this bank are abso-
lutely guaranteed against any loss. On this basis, as well as on
that of high grade service, we solicit your deposifs.

You Bel!
Rev. J. W. Sims, of the Mangum
district, Rev. J. M. Cantrell, presid-
ing Cider of the Vinita district, and
Dr. N. L. I.inebuugh, pastor of the
Vinita Methodist church, were the
guests of Rev. T. A. Harkins in this
city, last week.
Chloe Kendall came down from
Vinita Sunday to spend the day with
her sister, Mrs. Marion Young.
Mrs. A. T. Bradshaw returned
Sunday from Sand Springs, Ark.,
where she has been visiting rela-
tives. Her father and sister re-
turned with her for a short visit.
Miss Nina Hancock of Muskogee,
arrived Saturday to visit her grand-
parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Hogan.
Pattie and Fawn Hdncoek have been
here visiting for some time.
Are Pryor business men alive?
Well, we should snicker! Just take
a squint at the back page of this is-
sue. A full page ad, if you please.
A whoppin’” big home boosting,
trade building ad. Then if you will
search the columns of this paper a
little further, you will find several
individual advertisements of other
merchants whose sentiments are in
hearty accord with the policy out-
lined in the big ad.
What does it all mean? it means
in the first place, that Pryor mer-
chants are going to make a deter-
mined effort to gather in a share of
that trade otherwise headed for the
mail order houses. It means, fur-
thermore, that Pryor merchants are
beginning to understand the bigness
and whole-souled spirit that prompts
a man to boost for his home commu-
nity. And one can see with just
half an eye, that all Pryor needs
right now is a big hearty boost, a
united push, to send the town rolling
along the road to prosperity. As a
life giving agent and a pep restorer
nothing is more efficatious than
printer s ink—lots of it—smeared
on thick. And Pryor merchants have
discovered this fact.

Killed By Lightning.
During the storm on Wednesday
evening of last week, several young
men were sheltered in a tem on the
creek near Choteau, where they
camping. Lightning struck the tent
and one of the boys was killed out-
right, another was so badly shocked
that he died later, while the others
were rendered unconscious but re-
covered.
The young man who was killed is
Eustiee Jackson of near Locust
Grove, a nephew of Mrs. A. B. Hairs-
ton, of this city. He was a splen-
did young man and highly respected
by a large circle of friends. Mrs.
Hairston attended the funeral which
occurred at Hogans Institute on
Thursday evening.
We were unable to learn the
namdB of the other young men but
understand they were well known
residents of the Locust Grove; com-
munity. This was indeed a sad
ending to a jolly camping party.
Almost Caaghl ’Em.
A fiahLig party drove down to the
Chdteau bridge to fish, last Wednes-
day evening. They were caught in
the heat.V rain, and were almost ta-
ken in by the rise of the river, as
they had driven out on a gravel bar.
They succeeded in getting their car
out on the bank just in time. Who
was it/ Ask the Fishers, father and
son, and Doc Jones maybe they’ll
tell you about it.
Got Her Arm Broken.
Aileen Hendrex, while skating on
roller skates at the L. H. Tolbert
home, Sunday afternoon, tripped and
fell, breaking one of the bones in
her left wrist.
Aileen had a chance to go motor-
ing that afternoon, and now she
wishes she had gone. The break is
quite painful and will keep the
young lady from participating in
the dishwashing game and other
housework for some tithe to come.
Swallowed Hook, Line, Sinker.
T. A. Huey had the disappoint-
ment of his life Sunday evening and
he immediately wired his wife, who
is visiting relatives in another town
if she wished to find him at home,
she’d better return immediately.
This is how it was: Huey went fish-
ing -he had a big one on his hook
and was playing him on his reel.
The big fellow had passed him twice
and Huey got a glimpse of his back
(he’d weigh anyway twelve pounds)
in some way the line got tangled up
and zip the fish was gone—so was
the hook, so was the line, and Huey
stood there with the casting rod in
his hand, thinking what might have
been if only—

A Close Shave
During the storm last week, the
house of W. T. Bailey, in the east
part of town, was struck twice by
lightning. A hole was torn through
the weatherboarding in one place,
and the other bolt went down the
chimney, scattering soot all over the
place. Happily, however, no one
was hurt, and the damage done to
the house was not great. It was a
close shave.

Continuing our series of articles
on fish ing, etc., etc., we might men-
tion the fact that a party of Pryor
piscatorial artists motored out to
l he Grand river, 16 miles northeast
of this city, Monday evening, and
put in two hours and a half of the
loasi itlebuous .‘idhiug one could
imagine. The fish shied at a net,
.vent right through a seiue, turned
up their snoot at any kind of bait
temptingly laid before them with
“hook and line”, laughed at “nood-
ling”, in fact they acted in such a
manner that the sportsmen were led
to I relieve that there was a “Joner”
among them. At any rate, they
caught no fish, but had lots of fun.
They bribed a farmer’s wife to cook
some supper for them, and motored
hack to town after the rain. Oh,
well, they had a delightful outing,
anyway.
Those comprising the party were:
Ned Mayes, M. C. Hadley, Karl
Gatewood, L. D. Harding, Elder R.
M. Phillips, Clarence Wickham, Ed-
! gar Langley, and "Slim” Dorsett.
