Had Possum Dinner
Last Monday night U. G. Phippen
and W. E. Schooler went to the Dr.
Fling farm west of the city and with
the aid of Frank Fling they were
able to get a fine large possum.
Yesterday J. T. DeWeese and fam-
ily were the guests of honor at the
possum dinner at the Schooler home
on East Duke street. For some time
Mr. Phippen has been longing for an
o'possum, and after a long and weari-
some search he located hunter School-
er and they went to Dr. Fling's and
secured a boy and a dog and return-
ed with a big fat possum. Much of
the capture is due to the untiring en-
ergy of Mr. Phippen and especially to
the Fling canine.

Friday evening at-the home of car
inspector and Mrs. W. B. Ayers
there were three new arrivals. Mr.
Ayers is one of our good socialist
friends, but we are beginning to
doubt his faith to that, party. Roose-
velt, like Ihe Kaiser of Gennany, ad-
vocated more and better babies and
if we mistake not Will is leaning to-
ward the Bull Moosers instead of to
the Socialists. Mrs. Ayres and the
children are all doing fine, but Will
looks dazed.

ROBBED.
Friday night the big wholsale
house of the Goldman Grocery com-
pany was broken into and relieved of
some $50 worth of ammunition. John
Robbins and a strange boy claiming
to be from Madill were arrested by
•hief of police M. S. Watson and
turned over to the county juvenile
court. Both boys are under sixteen
years of age and if found guilty will
doubtlessly be sent to the state re-
formatory.
The boys had about $50 worth of
all kinds of ammunition. They had
their loot in a large sack which was
of such weight that a man could hard-
ly lift it off the ground.
The c^se of W. T. Ford, charged
with agg'avated assault, was tried in
police court, with Judge W. C. Henry
presiding. The case proved to be a
"spite" suit and'the case against Ford
was dismissed.
Tljis morning Henry Dodson, who
was charged with perjury in the
Blank murder case, was released from
the county jail on bond for his ap-
pearance when wanted.

Box Supper at Messer
Thursday night at the Messer
school house at Messer, six miles
north of this city, the patrons held a
box supper. About $65 was raised
by the sale of the boxes, all of which
will go toward the purchase of a li- j
brary for the school. This is one of
the most progressve schools of the
county and in this is setting the ex-
ample for other schools to follow.
Every school should have a library,
and the teachers, Misses Agnes
Smith and Ora Gibson, are working
hard to obtain one. They should re-
ceive the entire supfort of the pat-
rons of their school.

BILLION
AND MORE
By United Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.— (Special to The Evening News.)—
It will take one billion, one hundred and eight million and some
few odd thousands in cash to run this government in 1915, ac-
cording to an estimate submitted to Congress by Secretary- of the
Treasury McAdoo.
Though the government's business will be more vast in 1915,
the estimate asked for is only $34,000,000 more than was appro-
priated for the year 1914. This is due to the democratic pension
roll, which will show a cut of only $169,150,00. Under the smae
head $11,000,000 was asked for 1914.
