MRS. RITTFB. Mrs. Ritter, together with her hus SIDNEY LANE, Watch raker and Repairer, Watches cleaned and repaired at reasonable rates. at STORE'S DRUG STORE, One-third off is a wonderful cry, But one-third on first is kept on the sly.

They must be thinking, as Barnum says, "The bigger the humbug, the better it pays." About all the ads are of slaughtering sales, But its very seldom one of those fellows fails. They must have been born rich, Or you would soon see them in the ditch. It is possible they have somebody who steals, To be able to make those one-third off deals. You can see by the looks of those things, That there is a fraud somewhere by jings. Therefore be wise and look at the goods.

If one-third off is too high don't buy their duds. And go to a house that offers fair, So you will not have to say "I declare, That one-third off, after all, wasn't square." A place where they say one-third on and one third off is a bore. It's at J. A. Teichman's general mdse.

great big kick at the coal dealers in Arkansas City. Last week he alliges he went to the city to secure a load of coal and was told 550 pounds had been loaded on his wagon. The gentleman made objection saying there was no such an amount there. Tbe coal deal er, it is claimed, was very desirous of having the coal unloaded but in spite of his solicitation the coal was brought to Geuda, weighed and found to be ex actly 78 pounds short. Verily robber tby name is a coal dealer.

Kontfcwsstern Chasffes Hands.3D Last week the order came along tbe line that after December 31st the ter-vicei of all the employees would be no longer needed by the present management, the new one assuming control January 1st. Without a doubt how-! ever all the old hands will be retained by the new management. Who the purchaser is is still a secret. Some think it is the Missouri Pacific, which is almost too good to be true. Taa Revival Meeting.

Tbe revival meetings which have been held at the Presbyterian church are certainly awakening no little interest and the ultimate result is surely bound to be productive of good results. Miss Mabel Southard, assisted by Rev. Cunningham are holding the close attention of the audience nightly and much satisfaction is expressed over what the final outcome is sure to be. More than one of Geuda's young population had their hearts made glad last Sunday morning, when upon awakening they discovered the little stockings crammed full of goodies in the shape of candy and nuts while toys in endless number were found lying about. Tbe merry shouts of glee coming from baby lips more than amply repaid the expenditure required for their purchase.

The Fraternal Aid Association will soon hold a social entertainment and supper to secure a start for the new order. The order is desirous of receiving more members. To those who have been thinking of taking out a life insurance policy they are requested to first call upon the medical examiner of the order Dr. St Leon and find out the extra inducement which is offered by the Fraternal Aid. Chas Hale is having very hard luck with his horses.

Some few days ago he lost a horse near Wichita. Last week lost one north east of town and last Friday lost still another. Mr Hale is a hard working man with a sick family and his loss comes as quite a severe blow. We extend our sympathy to Mr Hale. It seems too bad that Geuda has to be bothered all winter by scarcity of coal as has been the case.

Either people are burning more coal than usual or the supply is giving out, at any rate it is mighty inconvenient for the consumer. Probate Judge Doubleday yesterday united in marriage Fred Thomas of Geuda Springs and Miss Nettie No-testine, of Oxford, at his office in the court house. Oxford Register. The dance passed off Monday evening with but two or three shots being fired. Can it be possible that some of our wild and wooly friends are at last becoming civilized?

WILL YOU enjoy the Christmas Festivities? band and two little children who have been stopping in the MeKinley house for some time died quite suddenly last Friday afternoon, cause of her death was apoplexy, brought on by a com- plicated case of Asthma. Mrs. Ritter had not been in good health for several years and their coming to Geuda was with intent of seeing if the atmosphere here would not prove beneficial to her.

About a week ago she was taken quite badly and Dr. St Leon was called in and pronounced the case hopeless and that but a short time at best would be her lot. It was then noticed that the family was in nearly destitute circumstances and at once work was begun to alleviate their condition but in spite of all that could be done she died at the time mentioned. The fun- ral took place from the M. E.

In spite of all the medical assistance which had been given him during his last sickness he passed peacefully away without a struggle. The obsequies were ob served Tuesday, interment in Geuda cemetery. Christmas.

Christmas has come and gone and with it joy and sorrow has been com bined. Joy to those who living in niantv ennld afford to Eire and then r. -J receive.

At last the post office fight is over and Miss Mary Ward is the victor, her commission arriving last We extend our congratulations to Miss Ward and can only say that if she will but give us the same satisfaction which our former postmaster Miss Allie Coulson has done, no one will havft hnt the kindest wishes for her regardless of political faith or feeling. During her time of service Miss Coul son has proven herself the right lady in the right position, and should the time ever come again, when another change has to be made and we are still a resident of Geuda, our influence will be used to secure for Miss Coulson her old position. We salute our new post mistress and may Bhe succeed in win ning for herself new and many more friends to her already long list. Another Turkey Shoot. Another turkey Bhoot will be held at Geuda, Saturday, Dec.

31st. Plenty of birds will be had in readiness and a good time will surely be had by all attending. Last Saturday on account of a misunderstanding but a few turkeys were in readiness. But it was not the fault of the promoters as they had bargained for several dozen and thought they would have turkeys in abundance but no one need fear this time as 86 turkeys have been secured which will no doubt prove plenty. There will be both rifles and shot guns used and in fact everything which goes to make a successful raffle and shooting match.

The rooms above the butcher shop have been secured where rafle shooting may be indulged in. Tallafero A pleasant wedding accured at the Geuda Hotel on Saturday evening, Christmas eve.
