It is deemed proper that a copy of

Notice To Taxpayers
I At this time it is our intention to
: advertise on Aug:. 1st all the lands of
ithe people who have not paid their
1930 taxes. However if every person
who has not paid his tax would rally
|and pay a part of his tax before Aue.
1st and by Auk. 2nd I think I might
prevail with the county commission
ers to give the landowners more time
or another month anyway.
Now listten here Mr. Tax Payer, if
you owe two or three hundred bring
us a hundred. If you can't get a hun
dred bring seventy-five, fifty or twen
ty- five. Do your best and if your
taxes are small give us ten or fifteen
dollars and if you can't do any bet
ter bring one or two dollars and get
credit for it. If every taxpayer who
now owes a tax would pay two dol
lars each the county would get a
1 round six thousand dollars. The coun
ty needs it bad. The commissioners
are working hard to make the finan
cial ends of the county meet and save
the county from embarrassment ? and
the citizens ought to stick to them.
It's your county and to yor?*? interest
I to help keep the financial affaire of
the county in a healthy condition.
I I am doing all I can to help you
j and if you will rally and help with a
good liberal payment on your tax we
will get by but if you don't get busy
I I might decide to play Tough and
sell every bit of personal property
| first and then advertise ths land. Now
we mean to have some money and
jyou might as \well scratch your head
and get ready ? we are coming.
Respectfully.
N. W. ABERNATHY.

Story Of Cimarron Is
History Of Pioneer
"Cimauon." from Klna Kerber's
i book of t h ?? same nanic. which is to
'be at the iionita Theatre. Murphy.
011 Friday and Saturday is the .story
of the pioneer.
In the Oklahoma land rush, April
22. 1 8 !?'.?. is a picturesque attorney
editor, Yancey Cravat ( Richard
Dix). At th? sharp report of the
starting pistol, the nondescript thous
ands rush forward, aioot. horseback
and in animal drawn vehicles. Yan
; cey's pony races beside that of a
young girlj Dixie Lee (K.-telle Tay
lor). They outdistamv the others.
Thc girl, throifch trickery, -icures
the piece of land Yiim?y wanted ?
| leaving him empty handed.
He returns to his 1 in- -m Wii-hita
and announces that h,. and his fam
ily will move to the r: ? Oklahoma
?settlement. The wife. Sabra, (Irene
! Dunne), in spite of vigorous family
j objection, goes with him.
Nine days later thc. Cravats, with
their snn. "Cim", (Douglas Scott)
and Isaiah, Negro boy ' Kui;ene Jack
son) arrive in the b >om town of
I Osage, only to learn that it is an
I unhealthy place for editors ? one
| having recently been assassinated.
Yancey promptly notifies the citizens |
| that he will expose the murderer in
the edition of his paper.
Lon Yountis (Stanley Fields) sus
pected of the murder playfully shoots
a hole through Yancey's hat, as he
walks with Sabra. Yancey answers
with a hole through the "bad man's" .
ear. The fued climaxes th<. follow-,
iicr Sunday with Yountis oxpos il and
death at the hands of the new editor.
Sabra is speech le-> with horror as,
she notes that her husband files a
sixth notch in his revolver handle. i
A year later many things have
hapemd t<> the Cravats. A daughter
is born t?? them. Yancey's editorial
dictatorship is accepted. "The Kid,"
a notoi if.u.-i outlaw, attempts to rob
a bank in Osage "but is killed by
Cravat, who spurns the $10,000 re
war:! much to his wife's dismay.
Three years later Yancey unex

leaving his family behind.
In 1898 lie returns in the uniform
of ;i Spanish-American Syar veteran.
Hardiv has he embraced Sabra, who
is now a powerful political figure,
j when he rushes to the public defense
of iMxie Lee. The latter is being
tried on a public nuisance complaint
preferred by Sabra. At Dixie Lee's
acquittal, Sabra is bitter toward her
husband ? but not for lonu.
Nine years later, i? 1907 okl,
