1907 - New State Notes

On page 4 of The Daily Oklahoman, dated July 4, 1907, there were these "New State Notes" that we transcribed. We especially, liked the item we have numbered as #7 concerning a one dollar bill and a pair of socks. Check it out below. What do you suppose that was all about?

1. "Up to date and down to the minute no one has been downed in the flow of gas "flooding the valley of Muskogee."

2. "Ripe peaches are general over the territory, as is evidenced by various printed notes of thanks by blissful editors."

3. "The El Reno American says green bugs have gotten into the matrimonial crop. That is the kind that has always infested that crop."

4. "The Eagle Editor at Enid must be living a gayer life than the majority of the fraternity. He says we put too much life in too few years."

5. "Petrified teeth weighing fourteen pounds have been excavated near Lawton and are causing much conjecture. Are any of President Roosevelt's ancestors buried in that vicinity?"

6. "The proof of the pudding seems still be be in the eating thereof, despite the pure food label, as can be testified to by that Chickasha woman who ate pure food berries and got ptomaine poison."

7. "At Alva a man bought a pair of socks with a one dollar bill raised to a twenty, and got the change. He was acquitted by a jury but the man whom he claims gave the bill to him is being held. What became of the socks?"
