Let everybody attend and partic-
ipate in tlie grand celebration to
the honor of our country and the
one hundred and twenty second
anniversary of our national inde-
pendence. This celebration will be
held at the Fair grounds one mile
east of Norman, 011 Saturday July,
3. Great preparation is being
made for a successful day of enjoy-
ment anil we have every reason to
believe that the energetic efforts of
the committee and the hearty co-
operation of the people in and
around Norman will render this
celebration a day long to be re-
membered by all who attend. We
desire to call special attention to
the many interesting exercises in-
cluding horse-racing, bicycle-rac-
ing, bicycle-parade, and many
other interesting features. The
people of the city have donated
more liberally than ever before
and abundant refreshments will be
011 the grounds. The triple test
ball game will be the best of the
season and will rebound to the
honor of either Norman, Noble, or
Franklin as they will furnish the
contesting Legans. Let everybody
come prepared to have the biggest
time in his whole-put t gether life
Hymemieug \ isit* Our Cltj .
To grace the most important
events .11 our city last week, Hymc-
naeus left his quiet Boeotian abode
011 mount Ilelikon to acquiesce in
two of Norman's handsomest
young ladies to gentlemen from
other parts, who evidently believed
that Norman had beautiful and ac-
complished young ladies to spare.
Last Friday afternoon Mr. David
Hooper and Miss Grace Berry left
for Oklahoma City, where they ob-
tained license and were married,
Judge Jones performing the mar-
riage ceremony.' " Quite to number
of friends were present and the
happy couple received showers of
good wishes which were made the
more impressive by the showers of
rice that fell upon them as they
left the court house. They left im-
mediately for their home at Chick-
asha. The bride is a daughter of
Tom Berry, ex-county Attorney of
this county, and is one among Nor-
mans most esteemed young ladies.
Mr. Hooper is a brother to Messrs
Glen and Warren Hooper who are
well known in the city, having tak-
e/> Pharmaceutical courses at the
University. The groom is also a
prominent business man of Chick-
asha. The happy couple have a
host of friends here who heartily
join the Democrat-Topic in sin-
cerest congratulations and well
wishes.
Last Saturday morning, at the
home of the bride in this city, Miss
Jessie Watson was married to Mr.
E. M. Locker of Locotia, Nebraska,
Rev. Ferguson officiating. The
happy couple left immediately for
Ft. Worth Texas, thence via Denver
to San Francisco where they will
embark for Litka, Alaska, to spend
the summer. The bride is a daugh-
ter of Rev. and Mrs. Watson of this
city. The groom is well known in
Oklahoma and Texas and was for-
merly editor of the Henrietta Her-
ald. Their many friends wish
them all the happiness incident to
a pleasant journey and a prosper-
ous voyage 011 life's sea. The Dem-
ockat-Toi'lc joins in hearty con-
gratulations. May their home lie
ever filled with the sunshine of de-
votion.
Tabernacle Minting.
We take much pleasure in an-
nouncing that Kldcr Henry E.
Warlick, Christian Evangelist, will
^hold a Tabernacle ni' i tin^ in this
city, beginning Saturday July 17,to
continue indetiuately.
Rev. Warlick is an evangelist
with a wide reputation as a Mucces -
fill worker, an able speaker, and i
well versed in the scriptures. Jlis
sermons are always full of enthu-
siasm and interest. It is hoped
that the people of Norman will
lend him their hearty support.
KXEKCISKS.
Children's Day exercises at the
M. K. church last Sunday at eleven
were quite a success. The spaci-
ous church was filled to its entire
seating capacity and many retired
because they were unable to obtain .
standing room. The church was 1
elegantly decorated with beautiful j
flowers and potted plants of ever)- j
color and hue so well arranged |
thsit they produced the most splen-
did scenery and rendered the exer-1
cises more effective than any that
lately have been witnessed in the
city. The program, which was tin-
ker the immediate direction of Rev.
Ferguson was carried out with
such perfect good harmony that J
those pretent highly compliment-
ed the exercises in every particular
and received impressions long to j
be remembered to the honor of
those who took part on the pro-
gram. The little boys and girls de
serve to be specially praised and 1
are much admired for their enthu !
siasm and energetic efforts in their
religious work. We hope they will
continue not as statues or monu-
ments but as living heralds of the
christian faith and grow into man
hood and womanhood strong in
character and devotion to morality.
Thus they may be known as the
best and most useful citizens of
Oklahoma.
