was removed the latter part of the

was reported slightly improved, but
It is not expected that he will recov-
er.
There has been such a demand for
residence property here of late that1
a renter hardly knows from one day'
to the next whether he will have a
roof to cover hia head. There has
been a grand rush for homes in this
town this spring. And the end Is
not yet.
W. T. Bailey asked us the other
day If we couldn’t use a few more
turnips. We told him If It didn't
make any material difference to hiui
we’d take-the rest in strawberries- a
feller gets tired of, turnips after
awhile and pines for something more
nourishing.

J. C. Burgess got tired of having
prospective buyers come looking over
the house he and his family occupy
in the north pert of town and went
and bought n home of his own—the
Bates property in the Whitaker ad-
dltiqn. The Burgesa family will
move to their new home In the near
future.
Ran across Herman Schmidt, the
oil and gaa promoter in the lobby of
the poet office the other morning and
by the way he was acting we sup-
posed he had received some very bad
news In the letter be was reading,but
It turned out to be just tbe opposite
—but then we'll let Schmidt tell you
about It. He sure was tickled.

this city, received two ’’75’’ shells

certainly fine souvenirs of tbe battle
field and Mra. Elliott is very proud
of them. ^
Henry Carter of near Chapel, was
a very pleasant caller at the Repub-
llacn office Tuesday afternoon. Mr.
Carter says a few more days of grow-
ing weather would be very accepta-
ble to the farmers out his way, as it
would bring the grass out and make
pasture good and pasture is what is
needed for stock just now, as feed is
getting scarce.
Mr. and Mre. C. N. Kay and Fred
Mason and bis sister of near Pensa-
cola, were in Pryor Tuesday evening
on a shopping expedition. Mr. Ma-
son paid thla office a pleasant call
and informed us that there is being
some excellent work done on the
roads In his vicinity. Fred is a road
booster and he has some mighty good
helpers in his section, too.
Notice—In tbe ad or W. B. Car-
penter of Kansas City, two weeks ago
advertising Pryor city property tor
tale, it should have read "Lot C,
Block 63," In stead of Block 3. This
property is occupied by P. H. Phariss
and will be vacated April 7tb. Par-
ties desiring further information in
regard to it should address W. B.
Carpenter, Lead Auction Co., Kan-
sas City, Mo.
Sending In their Papers.
A great many of tbe Mayes county
soldier boys are sending in their dis-
charge papers to Washington to take
advantage of the new bonus law.
Most of them are taking the precau-
tion to have the precious papers reg-
istered in tbe office of the county
clerk before turning them in. The
extra sixty dollara/looks mighty good
to the boys, but they Brill probably
understand tbe meaning of patience
before they get their hands on the
money.
His Services Were Not Needed
C. B. Markham was in Muskogee
Saturday night. He didn't say whe-
ther or not he succeeded In passing
himself off aa a lawyer at the Bar
banquet, but be was there with the
sign of the I if any of the Pryor law-
yers had needed someone to put up
n cash bond for their appearance in
police court.
Clea la 9nsr J ocher.
A1 Clam met us on the street Sun-
day morning and wanted to renew
hia subecrtptlon to the Republican.
He pulled n ten-spot on us. We
thanked him heartily for the compli-
■t, aa the hanks were closed on
Sunday. Clem made the remark that

Ctmrict Escaped.
Oas of the convict* with the gang
that has been working the roads near
Locust Grove, eecaped yesterday in
tks morning naff headed for Salina.
The sheriff was notified, and in com-
pany with the daputy sheriff he hopp-
ed into aa auto aad storied post-
haste to that direction. The fellow
somehow got wind or the chaw and
abandoned the road some place be-
tween Loeuat and Salto*. He Is still
at larg*.
In the quiet'country community
he pestered with his pretence, every*

look Well to Your Poultry’.
A hen house should be painted
every year Just as your house Is
cleaned. Germs and harmful infec-
tion* grow in the paint of a henery
and the removal of these every year
is a great help to the nesting birds
who must live a great part of their
lives betwixt these four walls teem-
ing with hurtful animals.
The chirken yard should be clean-
ed once a week instead of once a
month as most poultry raisers deem
necessary for the operation.
“Fernlnst" Sectionalism.
Last Saturday the writer was con-
versing with a returned officer who
had been in an eastern training
camp. He remarked that among the
soldiers in camp there was a total
absence of sectionalism. He said
that while he was a southerner by
birth and raising, he believed the
time was past for sectionalism and
went on to say that he believed that
organizations that tending towards
prejudices and sectionalism should be
legislated against. We heartily
agree with him.
Their Faith Dislocated?
Jno. G. Mitchell and Neil B. Gard-
ner arrived home Sunday morning
from the state capital, where they
had been in the interests of the or-
phans’ home legislation. They were
accompanied by Capt. Harve Lang-
ley, who had been looking after the
interests of Mayes county in general
in the state legislature. Judging by
certain remarks these gentlemen let
fall by the wayside, they were pretty
much disgusted with the action aad
non-action of our state aolona at Ok-
lahoma City. If some of our good
democrats do not keep away from
the capital city, they are liable to
have their faith shattered by the an-
tics of the legislative body.

Lute Allen came down from Vinita
Saturday evening to visit his mother
and aunt. Lute is getting homesick
for the "bright lights" of Rochester.
New York, where his home is. If
we can inveigle Lute on a fishing ex-
pedition on Pryor creek or Grand
river, just once, we are sure the
bright lights of the city will no more
appeal to him, as Eastern Oklahoma
has New York skinned a country
block when it conies to real excite-
ment

Some Sherlock.
Karl J. Moore, the handsome and

over at Miami Friday evening on bus-
iness and aa he was passing by the
big department store of Sanders
Ridgway Co., he glanced in at the
