HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
CONCLUDE DEBATES
County Commissioners Meet
There has been an increased
vigor among the high school stu-
dents, in the present school year,
at our local high school, along the
line of debating. This is partly
due to the new members of the
faculty, the increase in material
and the co-operation of the facul-
ty and students. There have been
three inter-class debates this year*
The method of elimination was
used which produced very favora-
ble results. Some time ago the
preliminary debates were held
The seniors, represented by Wil-
lard Wickizer, Claud Monnet and
John Brett, were sent against the
juniors, who were upheld by Her-
bert Hyde, Dave Morris and Con-
rad Mount. They debated the
question, Resolved, That the Ar-
my and Navy of the United States
should be increased. The Seniors
affirmed and the Juniors denied.
The issue was a victory for the
Juniors.
Then came the Freslnnem-Soph-
omore struggle on the same issue.
Freshman debators were: Paul
Cullen, Merle Smith and Milton
Phillips, while (Jertrude Sidener,
Lucille Wickiker and Dwight Pat-
ton upheld the honor of the Soph-
omore class. The Freshmen up-
held the affirmative am) were vic-
torious.
The final clash then came. The
Freshmen, with an affirming team
and the Juniors upholding the
negative were to battle for high
S'hool supremacy. The two teams
met at the high school auditorium
Monday night of this week. It
proved to be very interesting
and it would be' hard to pick
a star of the sextet for all were
surely grand.
After the argument had been
completed the decisions of the
judges were
discovered that the negative had
received two counts to the affirma-
tive's one, and the members of the
Junior class team will be awarded
the silver loving cup by the school
board.
The judges in this forensi" battle
were, Judge J. 15. Dudley, Atty,
C. M. Keiger and Prof. Schmidt.
At the regular session of the j
County Commissioners, held this
week, S. A. Ward, of the 2nd dis-
trict was elected Chairman of the
board. We also wish to state that
he makes a good presiding officer.
A contract was let for the con-
struction of a 30 foot span steel
bridge with concrete floor, between
sections IS and 1!) in Taylor town-
ship, at a cost of $872.00.
The commissioners declared in
full force and effect, Chapter 193
of the Session Laws of Oklahoma
for 1915, which requires that the
assessor should go to each voting
precinct and remain there one day
for every sixty votes cast, so that
assessments may be made.
The general routine of business
was transacted. The proceedings
will appear in the Enterprise next
week.
Death of Mrs. Mattox
Mrs. Chas. Mattox died at her
home in Franklin, Sunday at 1:30
p. m., after a brief illness with
pneumonia. She was a most es-
timable lady, a kind and loving
mother and wife. A husband and
two children survive her.
Funeral services were held Mon-
day afternoon. The remains were
laid to rest iu the Blackburn ceme-
tery .

The County Court's record
shows 158 marriage license issued
in Cleveland County, for the year,
1915, and 17 divorces granted in
District Court during said year.
So you see there is no cause for
uneasiness as there has been nine
times as many marriages as di-
vorces.
