BAPTIST CHURCH
The members of the Baptist church
will please remember that on Wednes-
day evening the 6th, we have our an-
nual business meeting of the church,
at which time we will have reports
from all the heads of the various de-
partments of church work. It is hoped
that every member will be present.
Make an effort to be at church Wed-
nesday evening at 7:30 for our annual
conference. You will be needed, so
come. W. E. GUY.
December thirty-first, 1914, mark-
ed the banquet evening of the Old
Regime. The elegant new home of
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Clement was ten-
dered as banquet hall, and the affair
was beailtiful in every appointment.
The entire house was festooned
with ropes of holly and illuminated by
scores of Christmas candles. The
banquet decorations were very lovely
and unique. Over one table floated
an airship with a cargo of daisies
Above another table hung a silver

We have a strict City Ordinance

The younger daughters of the club
met their parents as they entered and
seated them at the table. The young
society buds under the leadership of
Miss Olga Bobo acted as waiters dur-
ing the banquet. The banquet was
served in five courses and occupied
two hours in serving. After the ban-
quet a musical hour was enjoyed and

H. G. Greenman are being pressed by
their friends to become candidates for

get J. M. Moomau into the race for
that position. Evidently there is to
be a goodly array from which to pick
a good man.
Miss Martha Wise will be a candi-

NATIONAL GUARD IN NORMAN
We were talking the other day
about the bargain between Uncle
Sam and a town when he puts a Na-
tional Guard Company there, and
showing that he really means busi-
ness when he does it. If the town
can not do its part, then Uncle fig-
ures that he doesn't have to do his.
The Adjutant General of the State is
the Governor's Secretary of War, so
to speak, and it is up to him to locate
the various companies. It surely
means something that he always has

the best thing that ever happened to
them. They usually have time to give
it, and everybody gets more out of
the work than they put into it. The
captain says he has six or eight of
these farmer boys now who live four

the very best of the bunch—always to
be depended upon when wanted—and
he wants fifty more just like 'em!
Boys, why don't you sit up and take
