Boys Go To War
Four Thousand People Gather at the
Depot to Bid Them
Farewell and
(Jod Speed.
From Thursday's Weekly.
Norman woke up today.
The committee having charge of the
movement to give the boys a warm
send-off performed their task so well
that 4,000 or 5,000 people gathered
at the depot and warmly acclaimed
the young men who were going to the
defense of our country.

followed by old soldiers and they by appreciate thes" wonderful mel-
the high school scholars, boys and J ons-"
So the boys have gone. May good
luck and best of good fortune be their
lot is the sincere wish of the Tran-
script. The boys were:
Willard Darrow was captain of the
squad, and Pervy Northcutt lieuten-
ant. The Red Cross ladies gave each
a box of fine candies, nuts, apples,
pears and lunch, while J. F. Benke,
Norman's popular cigar man, gave
them each a package of four cigars
and a can of Prince Albert tobacco
girls, and marched to the depot, where
Capt. Willard Darrow was introduced
by Ralph C. Hardies, acting master
of ceremonies, who in turn introduced
each of his comrades, all of whom
were given a warm welcome. Then
followed v patriotic speeches by Dean
Buchanan and President Stratton D.
Brooks, which were enthusiastically
applauded.
A collection for a mess fund for
the boys was taken up and a generous
sum contributed, and as the soldier
special pulled in something like 150
great, lucious watermelons were dis-
tributed to the boys from other points:
"Golly," said one, "you are sure great

Fire at M. E. Church
The Mortgage of Some $2,000 Is
Publicly Destroyed With Sink-
ing and Rejoicing—Splen-
did Campaigns Put
on by This
Church.
Yes, the fire occurred but it was
not necessary to call out the Fire De-
partment. t all occurred in an alumi-
num pan held by John Hardie. An old
mortgage nearly $2,000 went up in
smoke while the congregation sang,
"Praise God From Whom All Bless-
ings Flow."
Short talks were made by John Har-
die, G. A. Smith and the-Pastor, after
which James McDaniel, T. E. Smith
and John Hardie went forward to the
rostrum. One struck the match, one
held the burning note, and the third
the mortgage. This marked a new day
for the Norman M. E. Church, South.
Owing to some unfortunate, though
well intended, negotiations in the past,
a very oppressive debt had accumu-
lated. The time had come to act. The
pastor selected a committee of John
Hardie and T. E. Smith and went
after the membership and friends.
Scarcely a family of the church fail
ed to respond. Pastor Welch feels
justly proud of his membership. The
campaign has brought pastor and
people closer together and the church
is beginning already to put on new
llife. The local church property is now
entirely free of all encumbrance,
i This achievement was put over in
connection with another campaign to
.^el a building and lots at the corner
I of Apache and Boulevard at a cost of
| $5,000. A cut of this handsome build
j ing appears herewith. $2,500 of the
. purchase price was made available
I by the Board of Church Extension.
The remaining $2,500 was raised lo-,
I cally. Eight hundred was realized
I from the sale of the lots near Court
j House, leaving about $3,700 to raise!
I locally. The total amount has been
i raised. They were assisted by certain
j friends not members, for whose gen-
erosity they are very grateful. Con-
j &idering conditions this campaign was
• indeed a marvelous achievement.
| The above building has been named
I "The Methodist Guild" (M. E. C. S.)
| It is to be used as a student social |
jand religious center until such time I
; as the development of the city de j
j mands a ntjw church building on the
W'est side. The Methodists of the
1 state will be expected to make pos-|
sible the building. The plans contem
I plate the continuance of the present!
church at its present location, as the!
east side of the city presents a most|
inviting field for its operations. Pas
i tor Welch and his pcoplt- are to be
congratulated on the solution of these
problems. He will soon attend the
Conference, but may go with the as-
surance of a most gratifying and
| successful year.
