Everyone who goes to Pryor no-

anti-spitting ordinance and the side-

falling off in tobacco sales
Boy Operated On.
The little 8 year old son of Clint
Howard who has been very low
with pneumonia for some weeks, is

Visited Muskogee
G. C. Pr.itt, Attorney Harve Laog-
ey, C. W. Fisher and the writer went
to Mn-kogee Saturday night. Ge>.
Kennedy went to the same city Sun-
day morning aud ail (except Fisher
who was detained by business) re
turned to Pryur Sunday morning in
Mr. Kennedy’s new Ford touring car.
The roads for twenty miles this
side of Muskogee were not so g od
as they might be, but from Wagoner
this way, ou the Jefferson Highway
the going was excellent.
Getting Closer.
What looks and acts like a good
greaser was brought in on the Teel
allotment in section 9-21-12, just
over the line in Rogers county Mon-
day. While this strike is not in the
gusher class, it is, nevertheless, re-
ported from several reliable sources
as very encouraging. For the bene-
fit of those not ainiliar with lana
descriptions, this well is located
acout a quarter of a mile north of
the old Mayfield store and alwutone
half mile from the gas wells which
caused a great deal of excitement in
Pryor several years ago.
Pryor’s Greatest Asset
The editor of the Chelsea Report-
er is right when he says that no
person is big enough to be superin-
tendent of the Chelsea schools who
will accept the place for less than
$1500. The school board of Chelsea
refused to give the superintendent
more than $1200. The little town
of Pryor is paying $2000 to her sup-
erintendent and her school is one of
her greatest assets.—Vinita Journal.
The writer of the obove knows
whereof he speaks. His children!
We are among those who believe all of us are
going into the greatest year of our history. We are
and rightly should be looking forward, but with
many there are some little, old things back that com-
pel our attention and often annoy and embarrass us.
We refer to LITTLE, OLD. UNPAID bills that we
owe here and there. Men, let us help you clean them
up.. It is these very little accounts that are hurting
our credit—not the money we owe at banks. Round
them up, sum them up and let us help you clean them
up. We want to help you CLEAN THE SLATE if
we can.

Did This Happen In Pryor?
This is a wicked story aod we are
not right sure th it i1 did not happen
in Pryor:
The young man had known the
girl for some month?, aod during
that time had been “rushing” her
considerably. One night he ventur-
ed to kiss her and got called down
good and hard. “I had placed you
oo a pedestal and thought you above
such a thing as this," said the indig-
nant young wo nan, "out you have
failen and here ifter -,ve shall meet
as strangers” "All right,” sighed
the miserable young mau. "but be-
fore I leave never to speak to you
again, I want to make just one re-
quest.” "And what is it?" "That
you get eff my lap” What she had
mistaken for a "pedestal’’ was the
old family rocking chair—and great
was the fall thereof.
Bankers On Junket.
Some of the local bankers, araoug
whom were E. M Bowers of the
Citizens Bum aud Trust Co, and A.
J. Langer of the American State,
with W. E Ruldle motored to C are-
more Tuesday to attend a meeting
of Group 4 of the Oklahoma Ban iters
Association.
A special train bearing a number
ot baukers from Kansas City, mak-
ing a tour of the various groups of
the state, stopped at Claremore, aud
the program is s.id to have beeu in
teresting.
Made Good Run From K. C

ed the Automobile Show. M-.
Pratt made the ru.i from K m is
City, a distance of 240 utles in one
\lay. driving a new Foul runa!> ur.

from Kansas City to Chetopa, where
tbe first evidence of snow was en-
countered and from there on into
Pryor the snow became deeper and
deeptr and the roads were very
rough. However, the little Ford
came through io record time, mak-
mg the distance in a little less tb in
twelve hours running time.
En est Vogt and Nay Young came
as lar as Vimta with Mr. Pratt.
