J. F. Warren Writes From Oklahoma City.

In renewing his subscription to The Republican, our former townsman, J. F. Warren, now of Oklahoma City, says: “We are still interested in the old home town and county. But each week new names appear in your locals that are strangers to us and we begin to feel that it is less home year by year. The only job I ever wanted in Rensselaer and couldn’t get was the editorship of the Republican. I am glad to say that the paper improves as time goes by.” Mr. and Mrs. J. Frank Warren were for a number of years very active and useful citizens of this city. Mis. Warren, who is a sister of Mrs. E. L. Clark, of this city, was for a number of years a teacner in the schools of this city. She was also one of the foremost of our women in the religious and social activity of the city. Mr. Warren was a teacher, deputy county auditor and for ten years was county school superintendent and later was engaged in the loan business, the firm being Warren & Irwin. Their many friends will be pleased to know that the Warrens have been very successful and that they are active in the business and social development of Oklahoma City. The Republican extends to them both most hearty congratulations and expresses the wish that they may continue to enjoy that material prosperity and social enjoyment which they so much deserve.
