Extensive preparations are being
made for the annual meeting of the
Cleveland County Sunday school
convention which will be held in
the Methodist church here opening
Feb. 27th and closing March 1st.
Mrs. D. N. Kelley. who is in
charge of the arrangements says
that a very interesting program is
being formulated and the meeting
should prove exceptionally instruct-
ive in Sunday scnool work.
The state organization of Sunday
school workers has been very ag-
gressive and very successful
throughout the state and great en-
thusiasm has been aroused.
The state association will send
to the convention here, its General
Secretary, C. H. Nichols. Mrs. C.
H. Nichols. Mrs. J. R. Abernathy
of Guthrie and W. J. Moore of Sul-
phnr, Okla. All of these people
are counted as experts in Sunday
school work.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Nichols have
long been workers in the Sunday
school field and will give Lexing-
ton people and the Sunday sciiool
workers of all other schools in the
county the benefit of their knowl-
edge and experience.
Rev. W. J. Moore, former secre-
tary of the association, is well
known in this county having been
pastor of the Methodist church,
south, of Norman for some years.
He is now pastor of the Sulphur
church. Mr. Moore is one of the
most earnest and able workers of
the state.
Delegates from every Sunday
school in the county are expected
to he here during the meeting and
ample preparations are being made
to take care of the large number
who will lie h 're. County Presi-
dent J. D. Fairchilds of Norman
will preside over the meeting.
Some of the purposes of this
meeting arc:
To inspire and strengthin inter-
est in Sunday school work.
To consider the practical Sunday
School problems of the day.
To emphasize the Sunday school
as the church's best evangelistic
agency.
To call attention to the world
wide Sunday school work as a mis-
sionary force.
To cultivate as far as possible
the spirit of hopeful co-operation.
Most every one is planting oats
this fine weather.

Rousing High School Rally
The students of the Lexington

night on the high school campus
with a rousing meeting and weine
roast. High yells and songs were
given and a general high school
booster spirit prevailed during the
evening. These meetings are
planned to make for high school
spirit and theyynre certainly attain-

Before a large and enthusiastic
crowd of basketball fans two excit-
ing basketball games were staged
Saturday afternoon on the local
high school court. The boys team
of the high school handed Wayne a
8—4 defeat but the girls could not
do so well and were forced to be
content with holding the Wayne
girls to a count of eight while they,
themselves, annexed only six
points. The day was ideal for the
game and a large crowd was on
hand to greet the players. It was
the first appearance of the hoys
team here but the hard practice of
the week before had put the team
in fairly good working condition.
The first half of the boys game
closed with Wayne sitting on the
large end of the score, 4 and 3.
The Lexington boys found them-
selves during the second half and
had things their own way.
This is the second time the girls
have been defeated by Wayne and
while the scores have always been
close, the girls are anxious to
claim a victory and it is likely that
another game will be scheduled.

Shawnee, Okla., Feb. 18.—Work
of all the courts in Pottawatomie
county will be tied up until the
jury commission can meet and
draw a new jury venire, under a
decision by Judge Abernathy in the
superior conrt here in a damage
case against the Shawnee-Tecumseh
Traction Company, in which the
company filed a motion to quash
the venire.
It was shown in support of the
motion that all of the members of
the jury venire were from five
townships and that the other five
townships of the county were un-
represented. In view of that show-
ing Judge Abernathy sustained the
motion and requested District
Judge Wilson of Tecumseh to con-
vene the jury commission as soon
possible for the drawing of a new
venire. District, superior and
county courts all have had to ad-
journ. It is uncertain as to what
the effect will be on cases already
tried.—Oklahoma City Times.
