To the Editor Chickasaw Enterprise
Robberson, I.T., Nov 5, 1893 - I will write you a few items from our quiet little village. The weather is fine and people are getting cotton ready for market much earlier than expected but many will hold till they are forced to sell. We had a big frost last night which will make cotton open very fast, and it the weather remains favorable the cotton crop will all be baled by Christmas. Rivores and Sons are getting on nicely with their new gin at this place. W.F. Robberson is making better collections this faall than he did last year, and trade seems to be on the boom. U.S. Court at Ardmore has claimed the attention of most of our bous of late and I notice some of them raise a terrible kick but Uncle Sam said go and they went. Some sickness but none fatal so gar as known. W.M. Donaldson, one of Mr. Robberson's clerks is congined to his room, but is not serious. Our noted physician and surgeon, J.B. Morgan was called Thursday to amputate the arm of a son of a Mr. Froman, of Elk, I.T.. Two small boys of the above gentlemen were playing whit a gun in the absence of their parents and one of the boys shot the other through the arm near the elbow which necessitated amputation. Our Notary Public is looking down his nose because he is not vested with the power to tie the martimonial know when the young folks come to him and ask to be married. They say Jim Rennie will perform the ceremony, and Tripp talks of marrying the next couple and laying it on to Rennis. Success to the Enterprise under the new management. Observer.

Mrs. Gay, mother of John Stevenson, called on us this week and asked us to correct the charges made by the Purcell Topic in it's last issue against them for the supposed murder of Jack Sheban(?). The only statement necessary, we deem it, is to state that the grand jury at Paris failed to find any indictment against them and allowed Mrs. Gay and James Stevenson to return home free from any suspicion of the charges. It seems now that all the talk that was prevelent here two weeks ago was rumor and not founded on facts at all.

It is with much regret that we chornical the death of Judge R.W. Carter of Ardmore, which occured at Dallas on last Tuesday. While this news was not unexpected, it cast a gloom of sadness over his large circle of admiring friends who had known and loved him as a trite man and an upright Indian Citizen. When death came he was attended by his loving wife, his devoted son, Charlie and his brother Jeff Carter, who had been summoned to his bedside as soon as his malady assumed a malignant form. The deceased was about sixty years of age and for many years and been a prominent factor in national affairs on behalf of his people. His advice was ever sought in council when questions of moment were to be passed upon and almost continously for the past twenty-five years he has been honored with immportant official positions. He was buried in Ardmore on Thursday with Masonic honors. The Chickasaw people have lost on his death one of their most trusted leaders and we extend our heartfeld sympathies to the bereaved family.
