quickly into the blood, and then the
trouble begins. The system may
be unable to throw off this poison,
and the bodily functions become
impaired. Disease is always lying
in wait for this very condition.
Rheumatism, heart disease, high
blood pressure and a lot of other
troubles too numerous to mention,
are closely connected with decayed
teeth. Bad teeth are not un-
like rotten ties in a railroad. Both
afford constant opportunity for
wrecks. No person could make
a better investment than to have
a reliable and competent dentist
keep his teeth and mouth in a hy-
gienic and sanitary condition. As
a matter of fact, this is one of the
few investments that always pay
one hundred cents on the dollar, if
it is made at the right time—and
the right time is the earliest possible
moment The poorer the man, the
more value will he receive from
this investment, for a poor man
cannot afford to take chances with
disease. Any man who carries a
mouthful of snaggy, decayed teeth
is toying with dynamite that will
explode unexpectedly some day and
blow his head off. The undertaker

Improving His Land
S. C. Prevo, a non-resident land
owner of this county, is having a 7
room house and a large barn erect-
ed on his land fourteen miles north-
west of town. He also expects to
have considerable land broken out
and will rent the farm to a tenant.
This is a commendable move and
will no doubt pay him well for his
outlay. His land was earning him
nothing as it was and was no doubt
a small bit of expense. Now it.
will commence to pay dividends on
the investment, which will in time
give him back his money not only
for the improvements but for the
original investment as well. Then
he will have land clear and it will
be earning him a nice income each
year. That would take years in
any country but this, but instances
have occurred here where a man has
gotten the price of his land out of
the first crop.—Hansford Headlight.

of Sheriff C. A. Leeman, were quiet-

charming in her gown of white

wore the new midnight blue. After
the customary congratulations the
guests sat down to a real old-fash-

The couple are among the most
highly respected young people of
Guymon where both have spent a
number of years, Miss Shields hav-

about five years, endearing herself
alike to patrons and pupils.

Mr. and Mrs. Nichols arrived

Lee is a young man of high ideals
and splendid qualifications and has
plenty of energy and courage ith

be received with honor and pleasure.
The Times joins with the friends
in extending congratulations.
thing else with this man is the fact
that he is a real optimist. He
seems to be a man that will be
able to do this community a world
of good in many ways, and just
from the tone of his talk we take it
that this is the very thing he is
coming here for, to do all of the
good he can in every way. The
paster did not have time to remain
longer than Sunday upon this trip
as he and the family are just get-
ting straightened out in their new
home, but he will be here the se-
Mr. 'cond and fourth Sundays of each
month and will have a belter
chance to get acquainted as time
goes on.

Texas School Notes

more
Last week finished our
month of school and we are
than pleased with the reports we
are sending out. These reports
should be examined by the parents
as they show what progress the
scholar has made this month. If
they received a good report, we be-
lieve it was deserved and earned;
and if they received a poor report
it is what we think was deserved
by them. The parents will assist
us a great deal by examining these
reports.
Our basket ball team was unfortun-
ate in their game with Stratford
last Friday, losing by the score ol
26-14. However, they have won
three of the four games played, so
our team's record is not so bad
after all.
The special lyceum number given
last Monday night week was not
as well attended as it should have
been. The total receipts were $21.
90, the expenses were $30.00. We
need more support from our friends
and patrons if we are to make our
lyceum course a success. It is not
possible to make money on a ly-
ceum course, but there are expenses
that uiust be met, and the only way
to meet them is to charge admiss-
ion.
Our school literary society will
give its Friday afternoon program,
Dec. 3. On Dec. 10, there will be
a night program given. Everyone
is cordially invited to attend these
exercises. Wc have one night
program each month in order that
those working during the day may
be enabled to visit some of the ex-
ercises. There will be no admission
charged.

Pet Gafiord who has been attend-

Young-Spradlin
A very pretty wedding took place
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Paul
P. Sewell Wednesday evening at
five o'clock, in which Sam Young
and Miss Eva Spradlin, both of
Texhoma were the attracting par-
ties, Rev. John Barnes spoke the
words which united -these young
people in marriage, in the presence
of only a few intimate friends and
relatives.
Mr. Young came here more than
a year ago from Doublin, Texas*
and since that time has been as-
sociated with various business firms
of this city. He is now in business
here. Sam is a very energetic
worker and is a good, square fellow
in every particular. Mrs. Young is
the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
| N. M. Spradlin of this city. She
has been here since childhood and
needs no introduction at our hands.
She is a good, whole-sole Christian
worker and is one of the foremost
leaders in the society circles of the
young folks of this community.
The Times extends congratula-
tions and wishes for Mr. and
Mrs. Young, much prosperity and
happiness through life.
