The I. O. O. F. Hanqueu
The bun luet given by the I. O. O. F.
lodge of this place on Tuesday evening J
was the most suee .j,sful and pleasant'
event of the a-"ii in this little burg.
!u 1... i, llie t<.\Vi« has never hitd an eu-
| tertaiuiuent. of any kind to surpass it.
At 7:3d the nu mbers of the lodge at
this place marched into the hall, over
Keller & James Bros', double file, in
full regalia. The speakers for the ev-
ening, Messrs. S. M. M >ore and G. N.
Shears, of Norman, we e present, and
each was given a chance to say a good
word for the 1. O. O. F. and its work

tended and well received by the mem-
bers and their visiting friends. The
audience aud the lodge adjourned, to
re-assemble in the old city hall, across

spread by the order of the Lexington
Lodge, 1. O. O. F. The feast con-
sisted of oysters, oranges, apples,
bananas, etc, and was enjoyed by a host

to add to the pleasures of the festive
occasion and the generosity and hospi-
tality of the Lexington lodge of I. O. O.
F. will long bo praised and remembered
by those who enjoyed the pleasure of
being present.
Burglar# Bold.
As the righteous were pounding their
ears contentedly, after the manner in
which the just have reposed in the arms
of Morpheus for many moons, bold, bad
burglars with felonious intent and mal-
lets and forethought, and other deadly
weapons, in the dark and stilly hours
of Wednesday night stole along Lex-
ington's principal thouroughfare, and
did not cease their stealing until they
had stolen all they could carry off from
Pantier's grocery. That the burglars
were stout men, is evidenced by the
fact that they carried off about 200
pounds of Hour; as they swiped a liberal
amount of tobacco, we may conclude
they use the weed; as they took some
lard for shortening, and overlooked the
baking powder, we may be excused for
surmising that they eat pie the year
round, and from the fact that a lot of
cotton batting is also missing, we ven-
ture to assert that the culprits are eith-
er married or single, cotton-pickers or
baseball players, and that the devil has
taken their temperature. Further par-
ticulars from Conan Doyle next week.
Meanwhile, we would suggest that the
prowlers come around and burglarize
the Leader office, and if they find any-
thing of value, we will congratulate
them warmly and take it away from
them; after Which wo will give them
positions as subscription collectors.

than it has yet been.
School Notes.
Miss Ida Broaddus, of Chickasaw,
entered school last Tuesday.
Miss White went to Norman yester-
day to attend the teachers' examina-
tion.
Many new pupils have entered school
this week.
Friday was the regular examination
day, and next week there will be some
long faces.
There has been an attendance of fifty-
four in the primary room this week, and
the room can seat about forty. The
board will bo compelled to rent more
room, for the teachers cannot well take
care of those who are attending new.
Minnie Sinnett left school last wee!,
to teach school in (ho Chickasaw na-
tion. Minnie is a kind and obedient
lady, and we wish her success.
Miss Lizzie Carter was a visitor at
school a few days ago.

song books in Room No. 1.
