October, 1907 New States Notes

These little tidbits are from The Daily Oklahoman, dated October 26, 1907, entitled: New State Notes:

"Enid passed a lively week having a street carnival, all the women in the territory attending a Federation of clubs meeting, two theatrical performances, and prayer meeting on both Wednesday and Thursday nights."

"To those Oklahoma towns that predict ruin because of prohibition, we suggest that they look at Bartlesville, a town that never new a saloon, and the biggest best and grandest little thing on the new Oklahoma map, says the Enterprise.

"A twelve-year-old Seiling boy was dragged a mile by a runaway horse and jerked off with the saddle on a barb wire fence and never get a scratch. He had better he careful for Providence seems to be preserving for him another fate and he might be nominated on the republican ticket for governor of Oklahoma some day."

"Kansas man on his way from parsons with a trunk and suit case full of liquor confided to a boyish looking fellow traveler what a "slick" thing he was, posing as a Muskogee real estate man but in reality being the "smoothest whiskey peddler in Indian Territory." The fellow traveler, who was a son of U. S. Marshall Darraugh, had the smooth and slick one arrested at Vinita and his trunk and valise confiscated."

"The oldest building in the new state, is the old log church at Ft. Gibson, near Muskogee, which has been used continuously since 1832 Among noted officers of the army stationed there and attending services were Winfield Scott, Zachary Taylor, Robert E. Lee, Geo. B. McClellan, Jefferson Davis and others. Washington Irving, Henry W. Longfellow, Henry M. Stanley and other famous literary characters and explorers have worshiped within the sacred walls of the old church. Efforts are being made to preserve the old building. Oklahoma should spare neither pains nor money to preserve the historic old church."
