LITTLE DOROTHY TUCKER HURT
Little Dorothy Tucker, 9-year old
daughter of Prof, and Mrs. J. I.

erious injury last evening about
, ::,0. She and some other little girls
were crossing the street in front of
Morrison's new building when a Falk-
e"Stine automobile came along. Both
Miss Dorothy and the driver of the
machine seem to have become con-
fused in endeavoring to miss each oth-
er, with the result that they collided.
The little girl was thrown to the pa\-
ng and both wheels ran over her, and
those who ran to her assistance
thought sure she was dead or badly
hurt. But she sustained no serious
injury some abrasions on the back
and on one of her li^rs being the ex-
tent of the damage, in addition to the
shock to her system. The automobile
was going about eight miles an hour,
and no blame attaches to the driver.
The Baccalaureate sermon will be de-
livered on Sunday, June 4th, ill a large
tent to be pitched in the oval just west

i i.f Muskogee.

| delivered on Thursday, June 8th, at
he same place by Dr. Reuben Post
Hclleck of Nashville, Tenn., regarded
i as one of the ablest men of the south.

; address, degrees will be conferred
upon something like 180 students, by
1 far the larger number being given the
j B. A degree. Something like nine

| gree, 105 the Bachelor of Arts, 14 the
Pharmacy degrees, 27 the Bachelor of
I Laws, 9 the Bachelor of Science in
Medicine, ti the Bachelor of Science in
Electrical Engineering, " Bachelor of|
Science in Civil Engineering, 1 Bach-
elor of Science in Mechanical Engi-
neering and 10 Bachelor of Music in I
Voice, Piano or Violin.
The examinations this year will be
held prior to Commencement, but,
commencing next year, Graduation j
Day and Commencement will come j
before examinations, so that all stu-1
dents and members of the faculty will j
be here for the exercises In the past,
students who were not graduating i
scattered after examinations and even |
some members of the faculty have left
before Commencement This is not j
right or proper. All students and I

Unmask the
Dining Room
There's a dining room in
town that drops its winter
mask in May and takes on the
breezy summer atmosphere
which whispers of piney
woods and purple tinted hills.
The dull, rich walnut furni-
ture was a trifle more ex-
pensive than the glued-to-
gether-varnished kind — not
much though.

I. M. JACKSON,
There's b little tea
wagon in the corner—
and when the winter
curtains come down to
he replaced by gay cre-
tonne, the furniture
seems to change its
spirit too.
Beyond the dining
room door is a little ar-
bor under which the tea
table is often spread.
There's a charm and
content about this lit-
tle home that many a
mansion can not in-
spire.
Do you think the rich
simple furniture with
its perfect charm is
worth while in this
home?

WEBSTER-EUFAUL \ PAVING
John S. Allan and Bob Barbour are
active in securing signers of property
owners on South Webster and West
Eufaula, asking for paving. And they
are getting them
They are circulating two petitions,
one asking for the cement paving and
the other for brick, the idea being to
ask for bids on both processes and
take the one that is the most reason-
able. Either one is good paving.
The idea is to pave South Webster
from the Christian church to Asp ave-
nue, and West Eufaula from the rail-
road to Webster or the Boulevard.

ed, for several years now, by a great
many people throughout the country.
Each year Ben Greet has more de-
mands' for his pastoral performances
than he can fill. This circumstance is
easily accounted for. The plays of
Shakespeare given in the open air

quire a charm that excels by far any

Added to this, Ben Greet hs devoted
