INTERURBAN DEPOT.
The outside walls of the new In-
terurban depot are nearly completed,
ready for the roof. It is going to
make a handsome building on the
bungalow style, with the roof pro-
jecting out about four feet all around.
Th'e cars will arrive and depart un-
der a roof, it is said, something on
the plan at the Terminal station in
Oklahoma City. The construction of
the building is of the rustic character,
convenient and substantial.

Grippe Pills.
Grippe with Kexall
-—Students are rolling in on every
train, ready to again take up their
studies in the university.
DUDLEY SELLS BRITTIAN FARM
Judge J. B. Dudley, who purchased
the Alice Brittian farm, south of the
University, a year or so ago, paying
$15,000, sold it this week to three
gentlemen from Cotton county
(Randlett) for $20,000. The farm
consists of 160 acres and its location
—joining the university land on the
south—makes it one of the most de-
sirable and valuable tracts of land in
the county. Mr. Dudley hesitated
ouite a while before closing the deal,
thinking the $125 per acre was too
low, but finally concluded to take his
$5,000 profit. The Pickard Real
Estate company and Aaron McDaniel
made the deal.
The new owners are G. W. Benge,
O. N. Bymaster and J. W. Ezzelle,
and they arc paying the $20,000 in
cash. They will divide it to suit them-
selves, and erect good homes upon it.
It is said the three families have
eleven members ready to enter the
university and others in the public
schools, and they are attracted to
Norman by our splendid school
facilities.
