To say the editor “was fuller’n a
goose,” on Thanksgiving would not
be so correctly stated as to say he was
“full of goose,” which latter was ad
mittedly so from the fact that the
editorial family was the recipient of
a big fat goose at the hands of that
royal good fellow, Herman Johansen,
whose big heart could not bear to see
the Northwestern family famish
while the rest of the human family
was feasting on the fat of the land.
Hence the why.

averaged 1300 pounds. They were in
the very pink of condition and Joe

Herbert Severson closed his Model

time is necessarily too much occupied
with the angel that came to their

host of friends here socially and in a
business way, who will regret their
going away.

bound at El Reno four days and being
in a wreck between Enid and El Reno,

rolling down an enbankment, but for
tunately without death or serious
damage to any of the passengers.
The boys liked the looks of the coun
try very much, what they saw of it.

not see as much as desired. As a
result of this trip, Chas. Kalka thinks
of moving down there as soon as lie
can dispose of his property here.
Geo. Truelsen may take another trip
to the Panhandle the first of the year,
he having bought two sections of land
there in one of his trips south.
