First Bale of Cotton-
The rivalry this year to get the
lirst hale of cotton grown this year
on the Norman market was sharp.
J. E. Hicks of Franklin, arrived in
Norman at 10 o'clock Monday night
with a bale of seed cotton on his wa-
gon. Two hours latea J. S. Bugher
of Denver arrived with a bale of
seed cotton. Three hours later James
Fine of Denver rolled in with another
bale of seed cotton and about thirty
minutes later W. T. Anderson of
Hico arrived with 4th bale. Mr. An-
derson succeeded tn getting his gin-
ned first at the Norman Milling &
Grain Company gin. A premium of
15050 was raised by the Norman
merchants and awarded to J.K. Hicks.
Mrs. Cy Williams and young Cy,
junior left for an outing at Eureka
Springs Arkansas last Monday morn-
ing.
W. H. Pickard living two miles
South East of Norman, is in possess-
ion of a live alligator, about 4 foot
in length. He captured it in his
stock spring located not far from
the South Canadian river. How the
alligator reached the spring is not
known but it is supposed that it
wandered up the South Canadian
river and was in a lake not far from
spring. The lake going dry his al-
ligator ship hunted up the spring.
Later: It is reported that at the
Woodman picnic held in Britts grove
west of town about one year ago, a
live alligator escaped from a wagon
which had two alligators on exhibi-
tion. This may explain how the
alligator came to be in spring.
The grass in the northern part of
the territory looks line and the far-
mers are well along with their fall
plowing and even some of the plowed
fields are getting foul. The corn how-
ever is no better than in Cleveland
county. In fact most of the fields
not so good. Had the rain in this
county been sulticieut to have given
a growth of grass such as is found in
the northern part of the territory
Cleveland county would have come to
the front with a rousing big corn
crop. In Clevela nd county the drouth
was severe enough to dry up the grass
and still it comes to the front with
about as good a corn crop as the
northern part of the territory. There
are very few localities in the country
that could have withstood the drouth
experienced this summer and come
out of it with a partial corn and cot-
ton crop.
The Norman city council called
sometime ago for sealed bids on city
printing. Trustee Lindsey was ap-
pointed to get bid of Transcript,
Trustee Uisingerto get bid of Demo-
crat Topic and Trustee Wails to get
bid of Peoples Voice, the trustees
having at a previous meeting agreed
to let the work to lowest and best
bidder. At last meeting of council
I the bids were opened anil it was
found that the bid of the Peoples
Voice was about 20 per cent lower
than other two bids submitted, but
of course Moore, Lindsay and Burch
kicked on the Voice getting the
printing. Trustee Wails also sought
to contract for the city coal on same
line; but again Moore, Burch and
Lindsay objected to city securing
coal at the lowest possible cost. J. It.
Cormack proposed to furnish city
with coal at cost and this is all city
should pay for coal. The city in its
corporate capacity should purchase
its coal at as low a price as possible
and it is the duty of the city council
to save tbe city all the money possi-
ble In the purchase of supplies for
the city. In the purchase of sup-
plies the city should enjoy the
satne privilege as an individual—
to-witto purchase supplies where it
can purchase them the best.
