Last Sunday Messrs. Anderson, Hays, Houx, and Walton accept­ed an invitation to dine with the “Surveyor boys,” at Arkansas City, where they have just arrived after completing their long and tedious contract in the Indian Territory. They say that they were well entertained and had a pleasant time, and will, we understand, soon give the boys’ a complimentary supper and dance at this place.

Down to Bed Rock. Owing to the hard times I have determined to put the price of Artificial Teeth down within the reach of all. Poor as well as rich can now have their work done. I will put in a full set of teeth (upper and lower) for the small sum of Twenty-five Dollars; half sets for Fifteen Dollars. The best of material used and a perfect fit guaranteed. Come along, everybody. Very respectfully, J. O. HOUX, Dentist, Winfield, Oct. 6, 1875.
Winfield Courier, January 6, 1876.
Our “Courier” Patrons. In beginning the “Centennial year,” with an enterprise like the one we have engaged in this week, it is but right and proper that we make honorable mention of the men who, by giving us their patronage, have greatly helped us in the “financial” part there­of.
HOUX, DR. JAMES O., is the oldest dentist in the county; keeps a neat office, does good work, and is “one of the boys.” Give him a chance, too.
Winfield Courier, June 22, 1876.
Mrs. Dr. Houx has gone east on a visit.
[DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.]
Winfield Courier, September 28, 1876. Editorial Page.

Winfield Courier, October 5, 1876.

Capt. Hunt, Dr. Houx, C. C. Black, and the “writist” leave tomorrow for the Nennescah lakes to have a big duck hunt. If our citizens hear a bombardment similar to Fort Sumpter, they can safely bet that it is Houx corralling Ed. Bedilion’s Republican voters over on the Arkansas.
Winfield Courier, October 19, 1876.
It has been settled, we understand, that Mr. Lacy will not be an independent candidate for District Clerk. He leaves the field for Bedilion and Houx.
Winfield Courier, October 19, 1876.
E. S. C., Which means “Evening Star Club.”
The above named social organization is just making its debut in Winfield’s fashionable “upper-ten” society. The need of a similar association has long been felt in this community. “Hoodlum dances” have become the rule instead of the exception and are growing very monotonous. Social lines are now to be drawn, and a new order of things will soon take the place of the old breeches-in-boots regime. “Hoe-downs” and their concomitant evils will pass into oblivion, and the big nosed “caller” who used to sing out, as he buckled on to the red-haired girl him­self, “Grab pardners for a quadrille!” will be a thing of the past. Kid gloves and waxed moustaches are not to take the place of all these old frontier familiarities, but a jolly, fun loving, respectable class of our citizens who have been reared in the higher walks of life, resume their position in the social scale, and propose to conduct these entertainments in a manner that will reflect credit upon the management and the city at large. The world moves and we must keep pace with the hour, socially, morally, and otherwise.
The charter members, so to speak, of the Club are Messrs. Frank Gallotti, Esq. Boyer, E. W. Holloway, T. K. Johnston, R. L. Walker, J. B. Lynn, W. P. Hackney, C. C. Black, J. O. Houx, and A. E. Baird, as they were its organizers. At their meeting on the 17th instant, the following constitution was read and adopt­ed.
The election of officers following, W. P. Hackney was chosen president; J. B. Lynn vice president; A. E. Baird, treasurer; J. O. Houx, secretary, and T. K. Johnston, C. C. Black, and
F. Gallotti as directors.

Ed. Bedilion’s name appeared on the Republican tickets in two places, as candidate for Clerk District Court, and Clerk of Winfield Township. Several demagogues deceived voters by telling them that it was through a mistake and persuaded them to erase his name in the county ticket and place in its stead that of his opponent, Mr. Houx. Ed. lost several votes by this infamous trick, and yet these fellows have sore throats from the efforts of shouting “reform.”

He afterwards removed to Columbus, but after ten years absence, returns to his early stomping ground. He has a state reputation as a skillful dentist and we are glad to chronicle his return.
