Our town authorities dexerve much
'credit for the thorough manner in
which the town has been cleaned up
; t his week. Let the Rood work go on.
The town well on south Bfth street
*h< uld be fixed at once, or a new one
put down that will furnish water.
The C.arber Sentinel says that a
pint or quart of salt, mixed in a load
of wheat as it is put in the bin will
prevent mold and keep out weavil. It
is worth trying.
«The Augusta Headlight was print-
ed on yalW pa^r hist week The
nature of the malady isnt known."
Which shows Bro. f"rv has not, kept
track of events while-jut of the NewB
office. The Headlight has been print-
ed or. valler paper fur a year.
Whatever may be said agairut the
lottery plan of opening the new. coun-
ty. it h*9.*orati very salient features.
The «sooners. so much in evident* in
all former openings have no pluoe in
this one. Every applicant has an
«ven chance.
*■' \ < 'iity-tive cars of ties for the
Orient have been delivered here, and
there are twenty-five or thirty cars
sidetracked between here and Arkan-
sas City. Two or three cars of bridge
timlter come in every day, and the
steel for t.rack:laying.ia expected at
any time. Anthony Republican.
Agent l.pwe is taking a vacation
chasing sunbeams over in Woods coun-
ty. W. H. Ingham, of Wellington,
relieves him. Salt Fork Valley News.
Yes there have been several sun-
beams running at large in Woods (>
lately, but we did not know «*ho was
chasing them.
Woods county's political strength
is due to the fac t that her i-eople
take a deep interest in politics. In | (MBce o^r Wood,
proof of this you will find more post-, t-oUBtv ■"
offices bearing names of politicians in j —
this than in, any other county in the
territory. Governors Barnes and
Jenkins are each remembered as well
as Sec.-. Alger, congressional candidate
Joe Wisbv and Admiral Dewey. Their
persistence is shown by their success
in perpetuating Dewey's name by a
municipal monument. Since there
was already a -Dewey- in the terri-
tory the people called their town
Yewed. They are not topsy-turvey
people either.

It is to be regetted thjit the officers
yf the Eagle Chief post would not
consent to the holding of the Woods
County Reunion at Shockley's gaove.
It is the most central point in the
county for such a reuition, and would
not in the least have interfered with
the post holding a little leur.ion of
its own later on if it wanted to. The
people <$ Augusta wanted the county
reunion: here, and feel very much hurt
that the officers of the post would
not consent to it. We think it was a
serious mistaka, and while it is an in-
jury to Augusta, it will be a still
greater injury to the post which we
regret.

A purchase from a traveling vender of

itable chalk mark on your gate for the

usually knows what he wants and what
price should be paid but the peddler

lar trains will be allowed to cross till
the bridge can be repaired, which will
take .some time. It. would therefore
seem that there will be no excursions
from Cleo next week.
