MARRIED-SWANK-JOHNSON i CIVIC TALKS-FAREWELL
From
Thursday's Weekly.
At the parsonage of the
M. E.
Church, South, by Rev. R. L. Ownbey,
in the presence only of Mrs. Ownbey
and the pastor's family, the marriage
of Postmaster Floyd L. Swank and
Miss Esther Johnson was solemnized
last evening (Wednesday) at 7:30
o'clock. They certainly did stea a presic
march" upon their numerous friends, Commerce
who have been watching and guessing |
when the wedding would take place,
but hearty and earnest congratula-
tions will be showered upon them
nevertheless.
The bride is one of the most charm-
ing of Norman's many charming
young ladies, with those qualities of
mind and person which endear her to
all who know her. Probably few
young ladies in our city have more
warm and sincere friends, and Mr.
Swank is to be most sincerely con-
gratulated. And among the young
men of Norman, none have a highei
standing than Mr. Swank, for he Is
recognized as one of the town's lead-
ing citizens and reliable young men,
and as postmaster is making a splen-
did record. ,
The happy couple will go to house-
keeping in the Emily McGill property
on East Eufaula, which has been
nicely furnished for their occupancy.
The Transcript extends its earnest
and hearty congratulations.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,"
is a thought that fills the minds of the
people throughout the world.
With the passing of the old year
the Civic Committee is no more. The
curtain has been rung down and the
audience will face a new committee
that will soon be appointed by the
new president of the Chamber of
Mr. Leo Gorton will be at home to-
I day to spend the holidays with his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Gorton,
lie has been attending school in New
I York for the past year.

A delightful meeting of the N. and
T. ladies was held at the home of Mrs.
IC. C. McClure Wednesday. Besides

i daughter, Miss Helen, who are new
I citizens recently moved here from 111- j

| One of the prettiest Christmas af-
! fairs of the season was held at the
I home of Mrs. Floyd McFarland, when j
I she entertained the 'Bide-a-Wee club
land several extra friends yesterday |

tied in pretty Christmas paper and
Miss Mary Hughes took charge of
them and arranged them on a Christ-
| mas tree which stood on a centei ta-
' I le in one of the parlors. The room. I
were gay with holiday deceptions. |
Cards with the head of old Santa
Claus were passed, each having a
1-umber that called for a r.-ift from
the tree. When the presents \\vie all
unwrapped, there was a beautiful dis-
play of fancy towels, laundry bags,
handkerchiefs, pin cushions, chamois
'skins, etc. After a delightful course
of refreshments at six the ladies de-
parted.
A FREE AUTOMOBILE
The person who trades at this store is lucky for the reason they can get
the best meats, turkeys, groceries, chickens, fruits, vegetables and in fact
anything in the grocery line.
We have on hand at present a nice line of fancy fruits for Christmas
and more coming. If you want extra quality and seasonable fruits for your
Christmas dinner phone us your order.
" \ FREE AUTOMOBILE" as you see at the head of this ad is just
what we mean. We mean by this that some our customers are going to
draw the automobile. The reason we think so is because we are going to
give you, on Saturday, FIVE tickets with every one-dollar cash purchase
or with every dollar paid on account. Formerly we gave only one ticket with
the same purchase or the same amount paid on account. Remember this is
an additional four tickets. We are doing this at our own expense, besides
we are paying for the extra tickets.

ALEXANDER PROPERTY SOLD
We want to thank the people of
Norman for the help given in the past
and hope that more will be done in the
future to make Norman a better place
in which to live.
The State Board of Health recently
spilled a bottle of ink on the map just
where Norman stands. Help erase
the stain by doing more in the future
than you have done in the past. It has
been our pleasure to serve you in the
past and here is our hand to help the
new committee carry on the work of
cleaning up Norman. Let our motto
be:
Bat the Rat,
Scat the Cat,
Dope the Dog,
Kill the Hog.
Shoo the Rooster.
Be a Booster.
Scour the Town
Morning, noon and night
—Rev. and Mrs. F. M. Alexander
have sold their fine residence on West
Comanche street to Dr. Magee. physi-
cian and banker of Wheatland, Okla..1

days. Mrs. Magee and the children
have been here some time, coming to
get the benefit of the schools, and
like Norman so well that they con-
cluded to become permanent residents.
They certainly got a nice property.
The Pickard Real Estate company
made the deal. The consideration is
said to have been S4000, which was
certainly cheap. Rev. and Mrs. Alex-
ander will move into a flat some-
where in the city; keeping%up a large
house they feel is too much of a task
for them.
Mrs. M. E. Dorrance went to Ard-
more this morning to spend a few
days with lier grand-daughter. Mrs.
Will Abies. Mrs. Abies and Miss Lu-
cile are expected here for Christmas.
