Sam Thomas returned last week to his home in Lincoln county, Okla., after and extended visit here with his uncle, Ike Thomas. Will Zea went with him to do a little prospecting. The candidacy of ex-commissioner Halleck for chairman of the republican county central committee does not meet with much favor in this end of the county, and republicans with whom we have talked express their earnest hope that some other candidate more acceptable to the better element of the party will will be brought out by their friends at the county seat. The Eastern Star have installed the following officers for ensuing year: Mrs. George Heargreaves, W. M.; Mrs. Abbie Thompson, A. M.; Charles Bonner, Patron; Edythe Roadifer, Con.; Alice Dye, A. C.; Ella Stoudt, Secy.; Dolly Porter, Treas.; Isa Taber, Ada.; Isabelle Green, Ruth; Mrs. Gilbert, Martha; Francis Bowman, Esther; Sarah Balcom, Electa; Sarah Love, Chaplain; Callie Bonner, Organist. The republicans of Carpenter tp., will present the name of Jesse D. Allman of Remington for the nomination to the officer of county treasurer. Jesse is all right, honest and straightforward in every way, but we really believe that the people of Jasper county irrespective of politics—for what business has partisan politics in our local affairs? — ought to vote to put a democrat in the county treasurer’s office, for one term at least, that they may learn just how matters stand there anyway.
