Territorial Normal Institute.
The Territorial Institute held at
Edmond on May 17, IS, 19 & 20, was
a grand success in every respect
and was represented by every coun-
ty in the Territory.
Much credit is due Prof. Boyd,
the Conductor, for the success of
the Association and for the interest
that was manifested all the way
through. He was ably assisted by
the many able instructors, and su-
perintendents of the Territory. A
large number was in attendance
and it was a gala day for Edmond,
and the Normal. All the good
looking' Scliool Mar'ms of Oklaho-
ma were present, expounding their
different views as to the best meth-
ods of having the boys and girls of
Oklahoma absorb the big' end of a
paddle.
Time and space forbids us to give
personal mention to all the address-
es and responses, but we will give
the names of a few of the most lead-
ing and prominent workers.
The address of Welcome by Prof.
Walter .<oss was very pleasing and
gratifying to all present, and the
resp jnse by Pres. G- E. Morrow was
one to be highly commended. The
discourse by Prof. L. W. Cole of El
Reno was one that any person
might well be proud of, and his
many friends extend congratula-
tions.
The subject, "Music sight read-
ing" was beautifully handled by
Miss King, and as usual she was
crowned with much praise and suc-
cess. She is undoubtedly the lead-
in musician of tlie territory.
The work by Professors Ledge-
wood of Pond Creek and Baxter of
Guthrie, J. H. Allen of the Normal
School deserves special mention
for the able manner in which they
handle their subjects.
The lecture "Southern (Literature"
by Prof. Paxton of the University
was one of the richests treats dur-
ing the Institute work, and the
Prof, has been highly compliment-
ed for his good clever humor.
Miss Maude Rixle of Kildare de-
serves a special mention for her
subject"The Teacher on the Play
Ground."
Supt. S. N. Hopkins of El Reno
made many friends by his able ad-
dress, and general good work, dur-
ing the Institute.
Professors Ware and Cralle of
Norman were in the lead with their
work and discourses, and as usual
they were among the most success-
ful parties on the program, and
Prof. \. K. Butcher was class a first
in his work. Space will not allow
us to tell half the good work that
was carried out but in conclusion
will say it was the most successful
Institute ever held in Oklahoma.
City Council.
The city council met in regular
session Monday evening, and after
regular business; several bills were
allowed. The City Plumber's work
was granted to Mr. Moore. Fred
Perry was given the same job as
he held last year on the City Fire
Wagon.
The council also took action iit
regard to the sidewalks, and offici-
al notice will be served on all prop-
erty owners to immediately repair
all delapidated side-walks, and
then keep them repaired.
It pays to advertise.

Creamery .Meeting.
On last Monday several farmers
met Mr. llerskey in the Opera
House and talked over the cream-
ery question and took steps to or-
ganization. Six shares were taken
of $10per share, and the Company
wish to have at least 80 shares sold,
before they grant a charter.
The Creamery just established at
Waterloo, South of Edmond is re-
ported as doing a flourishing busi-
ness to haul milk a < far as eight
miles.
We believe this to be a profitable
business both to the creamery com-
panp and especially to the farmers,
and il does not require any large
amount of capital to organize.
Norman can well afford to push
this question.
