The Democrat is in receipt of a copy of the Oklahoma City Times containing a lengthy write-up of a big non-partisan banquet given U. S.

Baughman, was one of the committee of five who arranged and had charge of the banquet. The mercury dropped low enough Sunday evening for about an inch of snow to fall, but Monday was the same old thing again, with rising temperature, and the snow soon disappeared. One thing is sure, if we get any ice-making weather this winter it has got to come during February or early March. So far this has been one of the most open winters known here in many years. The 5-mohths-old daughter, one of the twins born to Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Winters of Chicago, died Thursday and was brought here Friday for burial in the Crockett cemetery. The mother of the child was formerly Miss Abbie Griswold, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Griswold,' and formerly resided in the Crockett neighborhood. The lives of both babes were almost desparred of, but they were carefully nursed and seemed to be getting along all right. The one that died was sick but a few days.
