THE OFFICIAL ORGAN OF HASKELL COUNTY
.NOTES FROM CARTERSVILLE.
An inevitable smile is noticeable
upon the faces of the farmers of
this immediate vicinity. Why?
Only look at their crops; which at
the present time promises exceed-
ingly good results in return for their
Hummer's toil. Farmers smile and
the whole world smiles with them.
Farmers cry—and do they cry alone?
No, the world cries with them. Had
you ever "thunk'' about it?
A fellow that stands around rattl-
ing a little in his pocket is exposing
a near fact that he is not accustom-
ed to having money. Another pub-
lication in this county seems to be
the game way in regard to its being
on time. •
"Will children who are being rear-
ed in the street and doing at, they
like make women among women?
Yes, but not ladies among women.
Dr. Friedmann's use of turtle
serum has as yet produced no per-
cepitble effect upon the turtle mark-
et of this place or produced any pro-
fessional terrapin hunters.
A small party comprising Messrs.
Hamilton, Turner, Moore ar.d Thomp-
son, were, early Monday morning,
lured away from our quiet little town
by an increasing tendency to fish
and hunt, occasioned by exaggerat-
ing dreams of the pleasures derived
from life on the ba^ks of the Illinois
river. We extend our sympathy to
the unsuspecting little fishes, which,
perhaps, are now being forced to
forfeit their pleasures of life in ord-
er to gratify the palatable desire and
increase the pleasures of the amateur
fishermen. We hope none of the
party will be a victim of acute in-
digestion, which may happen if they
are lucky enough to catch game in
accordance with their appetite. Such
would he the case with the writer!
whose ttomache would be stunned j
if it should come in sadden contact;
with a square meal.
o
Ed Byrns of Hugo was sitting in
his wagon on a railroad crossing.
Suddenly he arose, and. standing
flat-footed, took a long jump, falling
outside of the danger zone. A big
freight wanted to get by and Byrns
wanted it to have plenty of room.
It got the wagon.
MAKE NECESSARY REPAIRS
ON HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING.
Judge Fred H. Fannin, newly elec-
ted member of the Stigler school
board, is having a competent archi-
tect examine the high Bchool build-
ing and will have all necessary re-
pairs made to promote the safety of
the building and comfort of the pa-
trons.

COUSIN AND FRIENDS.
Miss Auda Counterman entertain-
ed the younger set of Stigler, Wed-
nesday evening at the home Mrs.

street, in honor of her cousin, Miss
Irene Ozment, of Fort Smith, Ark,
and Misses Gladys Scaggs and Eu-
nice Mottley of Huntington, Ark.,
who are spending the week in Stig-
ler visiting friends and relatives.
This was, beyond a doubt, one of
the most successful social events of
the season. The hostess is very
highly accomplished young lady an(«
entertained her friends and cousin
in a manner that done honor t'j her-
self and those for whom she enter-
tained.
Interesting games, contests and
tertainment. "Tid Bit's Farmers"
an interesting ingenuiety contest foi
a prize was won by Mr. Homer S'kaggs
and Miss Lizzie Coker. In the per-
fume contest Miss Lee Stigler was
awarded the prize.
After the games were over and
several pieces of excellent music by
Miss Lee Stigler, the hostess again
demonstrated her ability as an en-
tertainer by serving a dainty and
refreshing repast before the guests
took their departure. The occasion
was nothing other than the mo?t
highly appreciated of the season.
Those present were: Misses Lee
Stigler. Fannie Palton, Anna Wyri
Lizzie Coker. Lizette Wofford, Beat'
rice Holley. Ruby Martin, Irene Ce-
ment, Gladys Scaggs, Eunice Mottley,

OKLAHOMA AND A SMALL
LEGISLATURE
Citizens of Florida, who learned of
the sentiment in Oklahoma relative
to a small legislature, didn't wait to
see what Oklahoma would do in the
case, but promptly started a move-
ment to get a resolution through the
present Florida legislature to give
the people of that state a chance to
amend the constitution along this
line.
The Florida measure provides that
the legislature of that state shall
consist of sixteen members, who shall
constitute the single house of the
legislature. These sixteen legisla-
tors are to choose the governor, and
the members of the legislature are to
receive salaries of $3,000 each per
annum.
It will be interesting to watch the
result of the vote in Florida. The
people of that state are complaining
about the size of their legislature
and they believe that a small body
will get better results for the tax-
payers.
In that belief they are in harmony
with the people of Oklahoma, who
cannot see any sense in having 143
men to make our laws.
If some member of the present
legislature wishes to make himself
famous overnight and also show a
disposition to confer a great favor
on the people of the state who pay
taxes, he will offer a resolution in
the legislature next week, providing
that the legislature shall be reduced
to sixteen or some other small num-
ber, who shall receive salaries that
will keep them at work constantly
in the interest of the people.
Which legislator has the courage
and the patriotism to originate such
a measure? The one who does this
is quite certain to be rewarded by
being chosen to a fine legislative
place with a fine salary concerned.—
Oklahoman.
SANS ROIS NOTES.
Crops are fine in this vicinity—
people are working hard murdering
weeds and grass.

PRESIDENT WILSON AND THE
CHILDREN.
It was on a bright Sunday morn-
;ng in Washington and President Wil-
i sen and his family had attended
church. The police surrounded the
temple of worship to keep back the
curious crowds, but even the blue-
coats could not suppress the little
folks who gathered about the doors
on the way to Sunday School. Presi-
dent Wilson passed quietly on in his
diginified manner, doubtless trying
to recall the text of the sermon as he
pulled on his gloves. Then a tiny
tot in the crowd spoke up to her big
Sister: "I wonder if he used to go
to Sunday school?" Miss Jessie
Wilson burst into a laugh, her moth-
er and sisters smiled and the presi-
dent put his hand to his mouth and
roughed. He nodded approvingly as
the little girl's sister answered:
"Certainly; he never could have been
president if he hadn't.''
The comments of the average
American throng, whether children
or grownups, are always most inter-
esting, and it would be interesting if
a phonograph could be arranged to
catch the remarks of the crowd in
all of their expressive and original
freshness. Some public men might
perhaps be a liittie different in their
manner could they over-hear the
opinions expressed as they pass by in
the supreme diginity of thier pres-
ent elevaton.—Ex.

not already busy, and send delegates.
We expect this convention to be
one long to be remembered on ac-
count of the musical part which will
be enjoyed by those who are pres-

been, but we are glad to note that
it is coming to the front.

singers in the state with us.

tire time will be devoted to the in-
terest of singing.

one'with you. Com." crly and stay

WILEY W. STUMBAUGH
All Work Gauranteed
CAUGHT REAL LIVE BEAR i MANY HUNDRED TEACHERS THERE
Then began what was probably one
of the most exciting tussels ever pull-
ed off in the Wichitas. Sometimes
lighting and sometimes fleeing, but
most of the time on his back or side,
dragging over the prarie from the
saddle horn, bruin kept up a tussel
fully forty-five minutes before he suc-
cumbed, choked and bruised beyond
further resistance. It was an easy
matter to finish him with a knife.
Winbourne is 57 years of age. The
bear is estimated to have been 4 or
5 years old and was fully and strong-
ly developed.
The animal was dressed and his
meat is being sold on the local mark-
et for table purposes.
Muskogee Phoenix says: "We are
bound to believe the colonel's testi-
mony, corroborated as it is by a veri-
table cloud of creditable witnesses.
He never drank enough to do him
any good."
OKLAHOMA METHO-
DIST ASSEMBLY.
The Oklahoma Methodist Assem-
bly meets at Sulphur, July 15 to 24.
The idea of holding a ten days' en-
campment was originated and car-
ried out a few years ago by ths
young people of the Epworth League,
but is soon grew to such proportions
that the church decided to have it he
come officially "a church institution,
and now, as the Methodist Assembly,
owning their own grounds and audi-
torium, it bids fair to become a great-
er place than ever for a summer out-
ing. The morning will be devoted
to bible and mission study, League
and Sunday school methods, lectures,
etc., by .Ino. A. Rice, W. W. Pinson,
D. D., Miss Davies, Dr. K. S.Hyer,
Bishop Mouzon, and others. The
afternoons will be given over to rec-
reations, with boating, bathing and
fishing in the large lakes above par.
Those who attend rnd play orchestra
instruments will confer quite a favor
by taking along their instruments.
Information regarding the assem-
bly may be had of Rev. W J. Moore,
Sulphur, Okla.
