Cheyenne’s new Baptist Church is among the largest and most modern churches in towns of this size in Oklahoma. This $100,000 church plant which will be dedicated Sunday, January 6th, is something to which all of Cheyenne points with pride. Members of the Building Committee are A.F. Beaty, Art Scott, H.E. Bradshaw. Members of the Board of Trustees are C.E. Vincent, Wayland Adams and E.L. McDaniel. The Baptist Church in Cheyenne stands as a monument to the progressive spirit of this 300-member congregation.
Mr. John J. Pickens, Assistant Supervisor of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Department of the Interior, Oklahoma City, was in Roger Mills County a few days ago. Mr. Pickens indicated he would be ready to start work on prairie dogs in the county the first or second week in January. Anyone who has prairie dogs is urged to contact the local Soil Conservation office so schedules can be worked out and the work done in a minimum of time. Roger Mills County is one of the cleanest counties in the state so far as prairie dogs are concerned. Only a few scattered towns remain. Now is the time to finish the job so get your name on the list.
