West Begins" drew a large at-
tendance from far and near, like
wise the play on Tuesday night,
"The Town Marshall" drew a
large attendance, then the play
last night entitled "Little Orphan
Annie" was put on in grand style
by the high class actors to
a large audience. The music ren
dere d by the musclaDs
songs and jigging by the actors
put on between acts are well
worth the price of admission.
This Is the Allen-Names Com-

city, we hope this fine class of
entertainers will pay the Busy
Town a visit next year. Re-
member good folks to. igram Monday
nights play is entitled "Are You that hU father

There is no death! we find it so,
WTe sought and searched and now
we know,
There is no death! across the way
We find new life a better day,
Are| nearer home where love is
king,
Where every soul doth praises
sing.
There is no death! where seemed
a} pall was but a shadow
over all,
Above there floats in heavenly
space, -
God's angel, with a glowing face;
His wiDgs of peace so calmly
spread
To cover those we call dead.
Oh! live so closely to God's love
That when God's angels from
above shall whisper in thy
listening ear.
Each word thou shalt most plain-
ly hear,
Press forward! Live as they have
said;
Thou too, shalh prove there no
death .—Contributed.

married life.
Victorious
Last Friday "the Follett Panth-
ers invadedlRosston, Oklahoma's
territory and won the battle of
the day. Althoughlithe Rosston
boys were' few^ in number, they
were mighty in size, and quite
capable of taking care of them-
selves, as the Panthers found out
before the game was over. In
the first quarter Elmore ran
twenty yards for a touch-down.
And in the second quarter neither
team scored. But in the third
quarter Travis who is subject to
such things, picked up a fumble
and ran thirty yards for a touch-
down. A point kicked by Teter
made the score 13-0 in the Pan-
thers' favor. In the fourth quar-
ter Rosstons' heavy hard hitting
backs plunged our line for short
gaines and a touch-down, making
^he score 13-6 when the whistle
blew. This coming Friday Spear
man will play Follett on our local
<?rid iron. This promised to be a
good game owing to the fact that
Spearman is. said to have a good
heavy team and a spirit to win.
So have we. Be sure and see
tbis game fought _ to a finish.
