Alltogether Club Planning to Se-
cure Use of Lots and Inter-
est Boys and Girls
The threatening storm cut down
the attendance and abbreviated the
session of the Alltogether Club Mon-
day evening. The meeting adjourn-
ed early after listening to committee
reports.
The chairman of the sanitation
committe reported that the Domes-
tic Science a id Civic Club had no
sanitation committee, but that such
a committee would be appointed by
the ladies' organization at their
next meeting, and that the matter
of securing a city dumping ground
ind stated that the board would
give the voters of the district an
opportunity show their preference
before taking definite action on the
. school building matter.
I The gardening of vacant lots was
beought before the meeting by Dr.
Cullum with the suggestion that
the consent of the owners be secur-
ed and (Tizes hung up by the club
to interest the boys and girls in
the gardening the lots and back-
yards. The matter was referred to
Messrs. Cullum and Hines with in-
structions to locate vacant ground
and secure name and address of
owners. The meeting then adjourn-
ed to meet next Monday evening at

ing could be arranged between the
two committees.
The special street and crossing
committee appointed at the preced-
ing meeting, reported through their
chairman, that the council hud
agreed to put a sample crossing at
the intersection of Sixth and Main
streets that would conform to the
wishes of the club. The new cross-
ing will conform also to the grade of
the street instead of the sidewalk.
The club contends that such a cross
ing would be more economical than
the old-style rock crossing that al-
ways utands from two to ten inches
above street level,damming the sur-
face water and necessitating the
constant attention of the street
commissioner. The cost of main
taining the dirt approach on each
side of the old rock crossings would
be saved by installing the rounded
street-l< vel crossings, and this sav-
ing it is asserted, would, in a few
years, pay the cost of constuctiug
the new style crossing.
The school committee, appointed
at the previous meeting with in-
structions to meet with the school
board and ascertain what action
the board intended to take in the
matter of the bond issue and the
new school, reported that the board
cold make no definite statement un
til blue prints of the addition and
changes in the old school building
were submitted by the architect.
The board members intimated that
Candidate Announcement
Since the precinct officials of the
different precincts adjacent to Hen-
nessey have issued a call for an
election by democrats, to be held in
Hennessey on April 5, 1913, for the
purpose of choosing a postmaster to
be appointed by the President of
j the United States, at Washington,
D. C.. at any ti me the Hennessey
office may be found vacant, I sub-
mit to the voters participating in
I this election my candidacy for the
postmastership. If the democrats
of Hennessey and of surrounding
country, by a vote giving to me,
their hearty endorsement support-
ing my candidacy at this election, I
will put my claim before the auth-
orities at Washington. D. C. With
reference to my candidacy from a
democratic standpoint, I will, for
the benefit of democrats or others
of different political views, say that
my principles of democracy are of
ihe clean sort and of the kind that I
can treat every citizen with due
courtesy and fair service. I am a
democrat of long service and have
worked for the best interest of the
party everywhere I have lived. If
elccted and appointed to this office,
I shall put forth my best efforts and
energy to give the people the best
of service.
Your most humble candidate,
A. W. STEPHENSON.

Prizes to Boys and Girls
The meeting for the purpose of
organizing a boys' anil girls' club to
take part in the contests under the
instruction of the agricultural de-
partment, held at the high school
building Saturday afternoon was
not very well attended, due to the
fact that the call had not been ad-
vertised early enough.
While the meeting was not as
well attended as expected, there is
no doubt but that a good live club
will be organized in Hennessey in
the near future. Mrs. Jennie Fash,
of Kingfisher, demonstrator of the
girls' canning club, who came up to
assist in the orgauiz itioii of the
boys' and girls' club, stated that tin-
business men of Hennessey were
most generous in donating premiums
to be won by the boys and girls
Atbor Day Observed by
Washington School
On March 14th, which was Arbor
Day, the colored schools held very
suitable exercises at the school
building. An instructive address on
the origin ami purpose of Arbor Day,
by Prof. H ill, preceded the tree
planting. The professor closed with
a very choice dedication of a tree to
the memory of Frederick Douglass.
Prof. Bailey and Prof. Williams very
| fittingly dedicated trees to the
j memory of John M. Langston and
Toussaint L'Ouverture. One of the
most charming features of the pro-
gram was anexcellent poem written
by Miss Lee dedicating a tree to the
memory of Phyllis Wheatly. The
seniors and juniors had Arbor Day
quotations while the sophomores
and freshmen prepared themes on

taken. The bride was very lovely
in her wedding gown of soft white
messaline trimmed in white beads

dining room where an elaborate
wedding supper was served. The
room was prettily decorated in a color
scheme of blue and white. Vocal
and instrumental music by Mrs.

was much enjoyed ufter the supper.
After viewing the beautiful gifts
received by the happy couple and

Nearly A Coal l amine
The scarcity of coal the first of
this week in Hennessey almost
reached the famine stage. The warm
weather during the preceding week
led the dealers to the belief that
the winter was over and the cold
wave that blew in from the north
on Tuesday found the coal bins of
the local dealers practically empty.
The shortage was relieved late
Wednesday when a car was recived
by R. H. Grimes, relieving the short-
age. Several carloads billed to the
other dealers are now enroute and
should arrive in a few days and the j
dealers will then have coal to burn.'
