FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1909.
VVATTERSGN ON OKLAHOiMA.
It don't take them long to set-
tle in Konawa. W. W. Coker
arrived here on the evening
train Thursday, spent Friday
out of town and before noon Sat-
urday had bought F. R. Miller's
residence and business property
A sunshine maker disseminates the ; and left for home On the noon
follow ng bit of wisdom: "They laugh rain> M Coker will be back
who win and they win who laugh. Be | , , ,, , , ,
1 the first of March when he wul
! open a general harness shop and
do shoe repairing. His home is
now in Sulphur Springs, I. T.
The Chief understands that Mr.
and Mrs, Mil'er will move to
Western Texas.
Be
jolly. In other words, the world swaps
sunshine for sunshine; if you want sun-
shine let your own sun shine."
If you can give better values and
service than your competitor—and make
your advertising convincing—you can
win as many of his patrons as you like.
Henry Watterson, the well known
editor of the Louisville Courier-Journ-
al, received this letter from an Okla-
homa friend:
He made no mistake in going to Ok-
lahoma; a region of manna and wild
honey; where the farmer has only to
tickle the earth with a straw to make
it laugh a harvest; where the soil, ex-
pressed in the most part in a rich,
brown loam, needs neither phosphates
nor irigation, fertilized by nature and
the ages and watered by rivers and
rivulets that milk the ujouiTtains of
their crystals and flbwrjence in abund-
ant streams of health and wealth;
where the girls are almost prettier than
the Kentucky girls; cattle even finer
and fatter than the cattle of the blue
grass: and where constitutions and con-
stitutional law grow upon bushes and
may be had for the plucking.
The Chief-Leader extends sympathy
to the Daily Oklahoman and Times and
may they build up greater newspapers
than their present great papers.
You merchants should tell the people
about those new spring goods via the
Chief-Lender.
You may change to summer clothing,
but don't throw away your winter rai-
ment.
Lovely weather. Maybe getting
ready for another cyclone.
The street grading looks progressive.
The Chief-Leader is very thankful
to the hustling business men this week
for their liberal advertising patronage
In a good town like Konawa every mer-
chant should be represented every week
in the Chief-Leader. This would repre-
sent Konawa with a newspaper such as
it is entitled to. II the Chief-Leader
this week does not come up to where
you think it should stand, tell us where
te put the props and we will bolster
her up.
A strong resolution declaring in fav-
or of drastic anti-Japanese legislation,
There's no hard times in Konawa.
Four Years Ago
In Konawa
From Konawa Chief, Feb. .'1, 1905.
J. P. Sims and A. M. Mitchi-
ner have formed a partnership
to be known as Sims & Mitchi-
ner and will engage in the cold
storage business. Now would
be a good time to do some store-
ing.
Something dreadful is going
to happen. Only two passengers
got off the train here Saturday
night. Even Maud ought to do
better than that. However it is
reported that fifty got off the
evening before.
Frank Manning returned Wed-
nesday from Chicago where he
has been for the past two weeks.
Miss Mittie Lee Arnold has
been appointed a notary public
and now fills a "long felt want."
Good Company for 1909.
You are careful what choice of
friends the young people of your
household make. You do not open
wide the door to those whose
speecn and behavior betray ill-
breeding and lax morals. Are you
as careful to shut it against books
and periodicals that present vulgar
and demoralizing pictures of life
and its purpose? Perhaps you
are among those who have found
that the Youth's Companion occu-
pies the same place in the family
reading that I he high-minded
young mau or Woman holds among
your associates. The Companion
is good without being "goody-
goody." It is entertaining, it is
informing. In its stories it de-
picts life truly, but it chooses
those phases of life in which duty,
honor, loyalty are the guiding mo-
tives. A full description of the
current volume will be sent with
sample copies of the paper to any
address on request. The new sub-
scriber who at once sends SI.75
for a year's subscription will re-
ceive free The Companion's new
Calendar for 1909, "In Grand-
mother's Garden," lithographed in
thirteen colors.
