JOHN A. BARKER.
John A. Barker, aged 77 years and
four months, died at the family home
on Hazel street, this moroing at 3:40,
after a long illness from throat
trouble, but in all these months every
suffering was borne with patience
and fortitude, with not a complaint
of anything. The deceased was born
November the 9th, 1841, and for 46
years was a consistent member of
the Baptist church, always faithful
to its interests, until his health gave
way. He was a confederate soldier
and for four years was with the
great army which defended the rights
of our southland. He was a member
of the 47th Oklahoma Infantry and
his record shows him to have been r
splendid soldier.
Mr. Barker is survived by his wife,
whose devotion and attention to him
during his long illness has never
been lax, and to her is extended the
deepest sympathy of the eommunty,
in the loss of a life companion. Be
sides his wife, three daughters and
two sons are left: Mrs. T. P. Um
sted, William A. and Thomas E. Bar
ker of Newport, and Mrs. T. E. Math
is of Blackton and Mrs. A. L. Pigg,

An Extraordinary Sale —
■
Of All Summer sSHoes
MEN S WOMEN S CHILDREN S
Our policy of quick stock renewals is what makes a sale of this
kind necessary, every season—about this time every year we find the ne
cessity in a larger way. Fall shoes are coming in and we must make
room for them, and this means faster selling, and faster selling means
lowering of prices. That’s the course—and the only course we have ever
found open, and we’re not going to look for any other way now.
Our Aim Is To Sell The Shoes
-and the selling must be fast, and to make it so we are going to sacrifice
the “best sellers.” We have no slow sellers, but we are going to shove
forward the most desirable first—and the wise buyer will come and come
i early. I
