... Williamson Bros., Greatest Cash Bargain House in the Indian Territory. Fastest Growing Retail House in Tulsa. If you have never visited our store, just make us one call and convince yourself that Williamson Bros., give the best and the most goods for $1.00 than any other store.

Yours To Save Money, Williamson Bros., Tulsa, Ind. Ter. New Store. New Prices. June is not only the month of roses, but also of wedding. It would not surprise the Republican if we did not, before the end of the month, report two weddings in high life in this city.
Rev. W W Hopper, who has been assisting at the M.E. church South the last two weeks, left for his home in Meridian, Miss., yesterday.

In Memory.
When in need of a grip or telescope, don't fail to see Williamson Bros' line.
Jas. H McBirney, the handsome employee of the Tulsa Banking Co., is spending the week at Parsons and Coffeyville. Even and anon there flits before the vision of this Appollos a fairy form, and so bewitching and charming does the vision become that Mc. has to hie away home (?) sometimes to dispel the influence of the apparition. After a short sojourn in Kansas Jim generally manages to stand the climate of the B.I.T. for three or four months. His visits become less frequent as time drifts on apace and the only solution to be gleaned from this is the allurements of Tulsa become greater with each successive day.

At the river they learned that Nickell creek was past fording and all had to turn back and spend the night.
Probably the most handsome soda fountain ever shipped to the Territory now adorns the drug store of J M Morrow & Co. It is a beauty in every respect and the composition used in its make-up are onyx, marble and silver.

Tomorrow the fountain will be charged for the first time and Mr. Morrow invites everyone to come in and have a soda with him.
Smiley Bros. received a brand new seperator the first of the week. It is one of the latest improved make and will prove quite a valuable adjunct to the neighborhood when threshing time rolls around.
