A large screen was hung on the

the building the fireworks were
exhibited, among which were the
portraits of Abraham Lincoln and
Robert E. Lee. which were cer-
tainly fine.
It was a great evening for both
old and young and the entire pro-
gram was absolutely free.

Castile, principal of the Red Oak
school, Prof. Lewis of the Animal
Husbandry department of the A.

era at the picnic to lie held at It.

part of the required amount, which
is necessary to secure the electric
line for Norman.
The citizens of Norman at a
a mass meeting voted unanimously
for the proposition of giving the

contribution.
The deal will have to be closed
up in a few days, and each and ev-
