As stated, we are on Route 4,
and in Ottawa county, Okla.,
right among the many romantic
hills and dells, where the clear
water breaks from the bowels of
mother earth to quench and re
fresh the sons and daughters of
men. Nature here at this time
is scenic and grand. At the foot
of high bluffs and cliffs may be
seen tne city-urea ana country-

but glib in tongue, and goeth
back to Baxter a bigger and bet

To the south of us is the pic
turesque little city of Peoria,
hidden between two hills and on
Warren's branch. The hills on
the north and south are cut to
sundry and manifold changes of
the world, our hearts may surely

The Epistle is from St. James
1: Wherefore lay apart all
filthiness and superfluity of
naughtiness and receive with
meekness the engrafted word,
which is able to save your souls."
The Holy Gospel is from St.
John 16: "He shall glorify Me."
Services for the worship of Al
mighty God according to the Ho
ly Scripture and the Book of Com
mon Prayer will be held in St.
Mark's church, Baxter Springs,
at 8 p. m.
You are very welcome to enter
into the charm of our Evensong
and to use over again the praises
and prayers of a long line of
saintly souls who are at rest in
the paradise of God since the
church began. Nothing is left
to the eccentricity of the minister
except the sermon, which may be
mere words, and not worship.

mineral. The hills are full of
lead and jack, and all one has to
do is dig the mineral out and
sell it and he is a rich man.
Sometimes the city gets a little
behind on money matters and
rents itself out for pasture. The
city has three stores, yes, four of
them, and a blacksmith shop,
There is enough garden stuff
raised in Peoria to supply Bax

from getting his shirt wet and
dirty working in that 8x16 patch
of earth.
To the north of us are the
clear and pure waters of the Five
Miles, Big and Little the camp
ing and fishing resorts of hun
dreds where much beer and
other bottled goods are consumed
in large and small quantities
where love matches are made
and the happy fires are kindled,
resulting in happy unions; where
gloom and misery are dispelled
and bade to return no more;
where you eat what you have
and at times that of your neigh'
bors, then plunge into the hidden
thickets and become lost to man
kind for a while.
What a beautiful and romantic
countrv to live in! to fish in! to
starve in! to die in! and when
the end comes, peaceful and
tranquil as a May breeze, one
slips off into the Great Beyond
to reap what he has sown.
Pardon us for infringing on
vour space and time on our first
appearance. We will now side
step and walk in a zigzag way a
short time.

makes use of a statement which
puts tne council and mayor in
the clear regarding many things
for which they have been con
demned and found fault with.
Among the many paragraphs in
the manifesto referred to, the
league tells the law applying to
many things, and in conclusion
says:
These are state laws, and it
is not deemed conductive to the
best interests of a municipality
to attempt to regulate by ordin
anre acts in violation thereof."
Now will those who have been
so unfair as to find fault with
the mayor and council be fair
enough to shut up? We shal
find out by their actions in the
future.
Yes, Miranda, the summer we

but perhaps we will have a longer
summer a little later on.

Next Saturday, May 13, is the
day of all days in Baxter Springs,
so far as the Booster people are
concerned. On that day there
will be hundreds and we might
say thousands here to take ad
vantage of the bargains which
will be offered. Every merchant
in town is going to make special
prices on that day. and in manv
instances the prices are going to
be very low. Nearly every mer
chant in the town is going to
make a leader on some one arti
cle, that is, sell it at a price con
siderably under the regular price
The list appears elsewhere in
this paper, and should be read
closely by every prospective pur
chaser. Money can be saved by
trading in Baxter Serines next
Saturday. It is not so much
what one makes as what one
saves that counts in the laying
up for the rainy day which is
sure to come some time in life.
If you have something to sell
bring it to town next Saturday,
and the selling will be done free
of cost to you by competent auc
tioneers.
Be sure and register as soon as
you come to town, for there is
going to be a rush that day.
