Are you one of them? New and strange faces are to be seen on the streets daily. Davis is getting to be a cosmopolitan place. Stipe and Brown have moved their repair shop into the Gardner block, two doors west of The News. The News is informed that we are soon to have a new opera house. Hamp Phillips drowned in an overflowed conrfield. He lived on Dr. Howell's place, one and one-half mile west of Washita Station. The damage to crops and fences by overflows in Indian Territory will amount to thousands upon thousands of dollars.
