HOXIE EIGHT HANGS EIRE.
Tedious Work of Determining Rightful
Signers of Prohi Petition
Being Continued.
Hoxie, Jan. 17—The contest
commenced Jan 12 by the prohi
bitionists by a petition to the
county court not to grant saloon
licenses for 1906 at this place
and Walnut Ridge is still on,
making ten days already taken
up in the investigation by the
court to ascertain the number of
persons residing within three
miles of the Methodist church at
Old Walnut Ridge.
This radius takes in Walnut
Ridge and Hoxie and the census
includes women. The . work of
taking the census and locating
each individual is slow and
tedious and ten days now have
been consumed. The count now
shows l,450adults. Courtwas
adjourned until J anuary 22. The
prohibitionists have 1,080 sign
ers. The liquor men claim the
census will show 1,800. Two
hundred and twenty signers re
quested their names taken off.
One hundred have been stricken
off by the court on account of
non-age and non-residence.
With the names to be striken
irom the petition ana witn tne
names yet to be added to the cen
sus the saloon people claim they
will win by from 75 to 100 ma
jority. Every inch is bitterly
contested by both sides, making
this the hottest fight ever waged
in this section on the temperance
question.

WHEN THE KIDNEYS
ARE AILING.
———
The Urgent Need of Prompt Restora
tive Measures is Something
That Every One Should
Understand.
“A Stitch in Time Saves Nine.”
Slight disorders in the kidneys or uri
nary organs are more serious than most
people think. The first warning symp
toms should receive prompt medical
treatment to ward off Bright’s Disease
or some other dangerous malady. When
the kidneys are ailing and the symptoms
become sufficiently pronounced to be
noticeable the condition calls at once
for prompt measures to stay the progress
of the disease. Prickly Ash Bitters is
the remedy needed. Taken on the ap
pearance of the first symptoms, such as
pain in the back, puffiness under the
eyes, irregularities in the urine, digestive
disorders, it will save the victim incal
culable misery and suffering, mental
torture and expense. Used at the begin
ning of the trouble it cures quickly.
Used in the more advanced stages it will
win back health and strength as rapidly
as circumstances will possibly permit.
Accept no substitute. Insist on hnvinir
the genuine I’Jickly Ash Hitters with the
large figure 8 in red on the front label.
Sold at Drug Stores, $1.00 Per bottle.

The lots in the new town
of Kinta, I. T., are selling
faster than any new town
opened since the days of
Enid, Pond Creek, Ponca
and a few others.
Many people claim, who
really are in close touch with
the new town and surround
ings, that Kinta will be a
city of from 2,000 to 5,000
in two years or less.
What would that mean to
you should you own one of
these lots that are centrally
located, as all that I am of
fering are?
It would mean probably
1,000% to you on the in
vestment. Kinta has fine
agricultural lands, great
coal, gas and oil deposits.
Why shouldn’t it be a great

bought, do so now.
