Neighbors and friends to the number of about 125 gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. Morganegg, of Barkley township, last Tuesdhy evening, and reminded Chris of his fiftythird birthday anniversary. Everyone took well filled baskets and all participated in a bountiful supper. Young folks as well as old came, for the next day was the sixteenth birthday of Miss Kathryn Morganegg, and so both were celebrated the same evening. Everyone had a good time, and left wishing both many more happy birthdays. Col. M. W. Lynch, a distinguished looking gentleman of the southern type, is registered at the Makeever house today. He simply registers Oklahoma, but his home town is Stroud, a town of about 2,000 population. He came here with the expectation of closing up a real estate deal. Col. Lynch states that the drouth and recent hot winds have greatly damaged the cotton crop in his section and that it will be scarcely a half crop and in some sections almost a total failure. Col. Lynch is engaged in farm buying and selling and in the money loaning business.
