The Ladies’ Literary Society will meet Friday afternoon with the president, Mrs. M. D. Gwin. It will be the first fall meeting. Andrew Hurley, who has been engaged in the restaurant and bakery business at Remington for some time has moved to Rensselaer and is opening up a restaurant in the room which Jake Moore is just vacating, on Van Rensselaer street. Mrs. Ross Ropp returned from Wheatfield this morning, where she had gone after learning of the burning of their home. She and the children today went to the home of her husband’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ropp, north of town, and will remain there until they get their insurance adjusted and establish a home again. Mayor Spitler continues to suffer intensely from tonsilitis and is unable to get much rest. One of the tonsils broke Sunday morning and the other seems to be coming to a head and will probably break today or tonight. Until it does not much in the way of relief can come. , It is a very bad attack and any who have ever had it or been with those who have, can give full measure of sympathy to Mayor Spitler. William Gordon and family arrived here last night from Muskogee county, Oklo., where they moved from Indiana about nine years ago. They are related to the family of George Chambers, southeast of town, and went there to visit them. They report it very dry in their part of Oklahoma and that they have decided to return to Indiana to reside. J. W. Smith, the painter, is able to be out some now and feels that he is gaining a little, although he continues very weak. “Jack” was confined at home for seven weeks and he has certainly had a very bad time of it. He moved to Arizona a little over a year ago for the benefit of his health. His daughter became ill and he returned to his old home dn her 'account. *The change, however, did not help her and she died a few months after their return. He now thinks that he may try another climate, hoping to restore his health. His many friends certainly will be glad if he can be returned to health again.
