Grove and Adair residents crowded town Saturday with reports of trades and visits. Fresh paint, fencing, and new crops fill streets as locals tout cures, tonics, and remedies from local druggists.
Bill West from Spain reports continued poor wheat prospects and plans to switch to alfalfa timothy and clover on five acres. Local society items mention a new baby, millinery success, a sick list, an ice cream social, Crusaders meetings, and Dr. J. P. Buss settling in Vinita. An anecdote details electric biters praised, a man named Bryan briefly leaving town, and a failed Galveston excursion. A federal suit over land near Afton and a sale ad for Buckner’s salve round out the town brief.
The city council met Thursday night and elected Davis Hill treasurer J D Burckhalter as city attorney and John Britt as street commissioner. Committees reported on settlements with mayor marshal treasurer and recorder and were discharged. Several small election service claims were allowed. Additional notes describe a wedding Miss Janie Hunt to W E Rainey at Cottage Grove Tenn and other local items from Adair Tulsa Vinita and Neosho County.
An accident ten to twelve miles south of Grove fatally wounds Claude Mayes, eldest son of W P Mayes, when a shotgun dropped from a wagon struck him near the heart during a hunting trip to the Drowning Creek hills. He dies about ninety minutes later as family members cope with the tragedy amid local notices.
