Ida Small...
Arkansas City Traveler, July 25, 1877.
NARROW ESCAPE. While O. C. Skinner was crossing Shilocco Creek in the Territory last week, one horse refused to swim, the wagon box floated off, and one of the ladies—Miss Ida Small—was carried down stream, and would have drowned if she had not been rescued. Mr. Skinner had crossed the creek many times before, but was not aware it was so deep, knowing there had been no rain and forgetting that the Arkansas was full, and that the backwater was in all the streams emptying into it. The parties in the wagon were Mary Skinner, Ida Small, Miss Graves, and himself. When the contrary horse laid on his side and the wagon stopped, the bed floated off. The horses then plunged and made for the shore. Mr. Skinner held to the box until he could jump ashore and land his sister and Miss Graves. He then ran downstream after the missing girl, whose hand he saw extended out of the water. In a few minutes, after an effort worthy of the young man, he succeeded in getting her to shore. After throwing up a quantity of water, she gained her senses, and was brought safely home.

The “ad” of Mr. L. Small, who is now running the 333 Grocery, on East Summit St., appears in this issue. Mr. Small has a large, well selected, and entirely new stock of everything in the grocery line, which he will sell as low as the lowest. Give him a call.

TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION.
The following conversation was overhead and will explain itself.
“Good morning, Mrs. Stuckweather.”
“Good Morning, Mrs. Jones, what in the world has brought you out so early this morning?”
“Oh, I am going down to Small’s Store to buy Groceries. He has the best lot of Groceries ever brought to Arkansas City, and at such low prices. Have you tried his Teas? My! Such nice Tea and Coffee and beautiful fruit of all kinds, and everything else one needs in the Grocery line, and so cheap too. I do believe he is selling for less than one can buy in Kansas City; Tobacco and Cigars too, of course they don’t interest me, but my Husband says he has the best lot ever brought to Arkansas City. There is such a rush one has to go early to get in, so put on your hat and come along.” 333

Arkansas City Traveler, June 14, 1882.
At the meeting of the Highland Hall Company, last Wednesday, the matter of location came before the meeting, and the votes were largely in favor of having the building located on the two lots between the meat market and L. Small’s grocery on East Summit St. One of the lots is now occupied by Stedman Bro’s. Hardware Store. We understand some desire has been manifested to make a trade of the site selected, in favor of the two corner lots in the same block, now occupied by C. R. Sipes’ building, but nothing of this matter has, as yet, been officially brought before the stockholders of the Highland Hall Company.

[Not known which is correct: Dr. Hazelton or Dr. Hazleton.]...
Arkansas City Republican, July 24, 1886.
THE GREAT SPECIALIST.
Wonderful Cures Affected by a Physician Who Knows His Business.
There is no use in talking. Dr. Hazelton, the Specialist, cannot be surpassed in his profession. With fifty years experience in every part of the United States and across the ocean, and with the unparalleled success attending him wherever he goes, his reputation stands as a beacon light far above those who call themselves his peers.
DR. HAZELTON came to Wichita a stranger to most of the people here, though his testimonials were of the best, and from some of the leading men and women of the country; and already those afflicted know his worth. His cures have been marvelous, and are beyond the comprehension of skeptics. He stands on his own merits, and the wonderful cures he has affected here in our midst ought to be enough to convince the most “dyed in the wool” unbelievers that he understands his business, and that when he undertakes to cure a case, he will do it in spite of all opposition.
We could cite a number of cases given up by physicians as incurable, which he has taken hold of and cured and without keeping his patient under his care for an indefinite length of time for the purpose of getting as much money out of him as possible. He tells his patients in plain English whether or not they can be cured and if they can, goes to work and puts them on their feet without anymore words about it.
As we have before intimated, there is no use in talking. If a cure can be affected, Dr. Hazelton will do it, and with as little cost to the patient as possible.
Wichita (Kan.) Daily Eagle, August 3, 1884.
[NOTE: 1884...CALLED HIM DR. HAZELTON...NEXT ITEM HAZLETON.]
Arkansas City Republican, July 24, 1886.
Honor to Whom Honor is Due. There is no use talking, but the eminent Specialist, Dr. F. Q. Hazleton, who has been in our city for the past two months, is meeting with greater success than any doctor we have ever heard of. Coming here about two months ago he made known to our people that he could cure all kinds of chronic diseases and would guarantee a cure in all cases taken by him. About the first one to call on the Doctor was our friend, Johnnie Brown. It is a well known fact that he has been very deaf for the past ten years and that he has tried a great many doctors and spent a good deal of money for all kinds of catarrh cures and did not get any better; but on the contrary, continued to get worse. It is not to be wondered at, that when the Doctor told him he would have him so he could hear common conversation in 60 days, he shook his head and said he did not believe it could be done. But it has been done, and today you can step up to him and in an ordinary tone of voice speak to him and he will answer you. No wonder he has a broad smile on his face. If we had gone through what he has and been as near out of the world as he was, we would smile too, and think Dr. Hazleton the most wonderful doctor on the earth. Johnnie expects to be kept under treatment for about four months yet before he is completely cured. Mr. Brown informs us that he has gained 18 lbs. in flesh since he commenced treatment, and has not felt so well in ten years as he does now.
A reporter of the REPUBLICAN called on the Doctor at his rooms in the Central Avenue Hotel, on last Saturday, to hear Jacob Markley tell his wonderful experience with the Doctor. Mr. Markley said: “Two weeks ago my leg was so painful and was swelled so badly that I came to the city expecting to have it taken off; but hearing of Dr. Hazleton, concluded to go and see him. After examination the Doctor said he could save my life and also my leg. He immediately went to work and in a few minutes, took from my leg about a gallon of water. The leg immediately became easy and now I am able to walk all over the town, and a much happier man would be hard to find. When I first saw the Doctor, my head was swelled about twice its natural size, my eyes were almost closed, and my skin was covered with sores. The swelling and sores are now gone and my eyes are as good as ever.” Mr. Markley is keeping a store at Cale and stands ready to take an oath to the truth of the above. There is no doubt in the mind of the writer that Dr. Hazleton is the most successful physician that ever came to this state and we would advise all afflicted with chronic diseases to go and see him. If he can cure you, he will tell you so; if not, he will honestly tell you he can do you no good. The Doctor refers, by permission to the following persons, who have been treated by him and can furnish the names of hundreds of others, if needed.
John W. Brown, Mrs. S. M. Bristow, Mrs. S. D. Callison, Miss Maggie Copeland, M. Greenabaum and wife, Mrs. Geo. Haysel, Geo. Hunt, Mrs. I. T. James, Jas. Kendreck, Miss Rettie Kirkpatrick, John Linton, Mr. Pollock, B. W. Radcliffe and wife, C. T. Sifferd, Mrs. G. T. Sifferd, Ed. E. Rogers, Miss Bertha Utley, S. P. Ward of Geuda, Mrs. Maggie Wesley of Winfield, A. L. Hale, Mrs. Geo. P. Martin, F. A. McManes, Jacob Markley, and L. Small.
