FAIR OAKS.

Earl Gray is here as night operator in Barnes’ place. Mrs. Stella Shehen and children visited over Sunday with Isaac Kight. Mrs. Ed Hall and children, of Roselawn, visited relatives here this week. Mrs. Lou Hooper is staying with Elda Stowers and wife north of Rensselaer. Mrs. Casey and Fawn started Monday for a few weeks’ visit with her brother in Peru. N. A. McKay is putting some improvements In the carpenter line on the Duffle ranch. M. D. Carr has plastered his hall and is furnishing it up, it is supposed, for a lodge room. Isaac Kight and John Zellars made a flying tFip to Arkansas last week to look at some timber land they talk of trading for. Fair Oaks and vicinity was blessed with quite a big rain Tuesday, which was good on the sandy gardens but a little bad on the low ground. Fair Oaks and Parr played quite a lively game of ball here Sunday. The score stood 10 to 17 in favor of Fair Oaks, and Milt Gundy set up the ice cream to the winners. The band boys played several pieces Sunday in the open air for the first time, and the teacher and several others remarked that they were making wonderful progress lately, which we were glad to hear for they have had considerable trouble getting organised and getting their instruments in shape.
