Last Thursday night the Masons

long tables covered with all the
good things to eat that one can im-
agine. After the tables had been
twice filled an abundance still re-
mained. The Masonic banquet at
Lexington has in the past an affair
looked forward to with much pleas-
ure by Masons and looked back
upon with much satisfaction and
the banquet just held has been no
exception to the rule and all present

to carry with them for many days.

Judge W. L. Eagleton. vvlio was

homa Territory, told the audience
something of what Masonry is.
what it nie;ms, what it h > done
and what it is doing.
The Martell Building Catches
From an Oil Stove On
Second Floor
Saturday afternoon about two
o'clock a fire alarm was turned in
and soon it was discovered that the
roof of the Peter Martell building
was on fire. The fire boys got the
water to it at once and soon extin-
i guished it. The fire originated in
; the second story of the building
from an oil stove. Mr. Martell says
he lighted the stove, then stepped
into another room to show a set of
harness to a man wanting to buy it.
When he came back to the kitchen
the flames were leaping from the
stove up to the ceiling. He at
once got to work with buckets but
could not put it out and an alarm
was turned in. The interior of the
kitchen was scorched, a window
broken and the roof slightly dam-
aged. The damage amounts to
something like thirty dollars.
Woodman Circle Home Supper
Monday night the Woodmen Cir-
cle had an interesting meeting, hav-
ing with them Mrs. Goodricd of
Norman, and Mrs. Daly, of Okla-
homa City. After the initiatory
work and drills an oyster supper
was enjoyed by those present.
, T. D. Williams has the frame of
! his new mill building up and all
; his rafters put together ready to go
: up. When the building is com-
pleted he will have an excellent
mill house, located much better
than the old one.

of bales of cotton were brought in
by the fawners surrounding Lexing-
ton. There were sixty-six bales in
the bunch, most of it being pretty

other crop is raised.
