Celebrate July 3
Lexington lo Have Big Picnic
Plans are being laid for a gen-
uine, old fashioned celebration and
picnic for Independence Day, the
date being set for July 3 by reason
of the fact that the 4th of July
comes this year on Sunday. Big
circulars are being mailed to all
nearby points and it is expected
that large crowds will be here from
Noble, Wayne, Wanette, Purcell,
Norman and the many outlying
communities. It will be the only
picnic in this part of the state.
The present program as planned
by the promoters calls for a double-
header baseball game. An effort
will be made to secure Wayne and
ment for pleasure seekers. All
automobile lines will have special
service that day between here and
Purcell. As soon as darkness will
permit, a grand display of fireworks
will be sent up as a climax to a big
day's fun and pleasure.
You are extended a cordial invi-
tation by the people of Lexington
to be here and enjoy yourself in
every way. Tell your friends about
the big picnic and urge them to
come—the more the merrier—and
there is plenty of room for all to
have as big a time as they want.
There will be plenty of good ice-
water and shade for teams and
Lindsay for the games, both being J nothing will be left undone to show

1 am of the opinion, if your bank makes it a practice not to pay
overdrafts, it will prove beneficial not only to your officers and bank,
but to your customers as well, as we consider overdrafts one of the most
undesirable features of a banks business, and a practice that should be
eliminated entirely. Very truly yours.
