BIG BALE OF COTTON—$104.80
August Hansmeyer was in from
Route 3 today with a 602-pound bale
of cotton. He got a rebate of some-
thing like $10.50 at the gin, and sold
the cotton at 14% cents, so it netted
him in the neighborhood of $104.80.
That is sure "going some." Mr.
Hansmeyer has about 25 acres
in cotton and figures he will get ten
bales.

PAVING TAX.
Paving tax is now due and payable
at the office of the city c'srk. Will j
certify deliquents to county treasurer
on September 15th. Take due notice.:
J. MARTHA WISE, City Clerk
Mr. S. K. McCall is the opinion
that the most experienced, tasty and
artistic milliners ever connected with
the S. K. McCall company store are
now in charge of that department of
J'Norman's Greatest Store." They
are Miss Mildred Bell and Miss Susie
Donelson, both direct from Chicago,
where they were with the very ex-
tensive store of the D. B. Fisk com-
pany in the designing rooms, and
where Miss Bell was connected with
the celebrated "Highland Highclass"
establishment, recognized everywhere
as the best in the country. She has
also been in charge of the millinery
department of the great Goldstein &
Migel department store at Waco,
Texas, one of the finest in that state.
In addition to her Chicago experience,
Miss Donelson was for fourteen years
connected with the Loveman-Loeb
store at Birmingham, Ala., in charge
of its millinery department, recog-
nized as one of the finest in the south
—so Mr. McCall is probably justified
in his opinion.
, They are now receifing and plac-
ing their beautiful stock and will have
a millinery opening in a few days, due
notice of which will be given. They
hope to meet the ladies of Norman and
vicinity on that occasion, and will be
more than pleased to give them the
benefit of their experience and artis-
tic designing. They are both very
pleasant ladies, whom it will be a
pleasure for our home ladies to meet, (the daughter-in-law's grandchildren

A. A. llKMlY'K CASH si mors
Robert C. Berry is in receipt of a
telegram from his brother, George,
who accompanied their brother, An-
drew, to the Mayo Institute at Ro-
chester, Minn., stating he was start-
ing home with Andrew. No particu-
lars were given, but it is thought an
examination disclosed such a condi-
tion that an operation and treatment
would do no good; that the disease
had gone too ldng and got too strong
a hold on him. While there is life
there is hope, and we trust it may
not be as bad as pictured by the
specialists.

Her numerous Norman friends
deeply sympathise with Mrs. Alice
Breeding Gait over the fact that she
is now in the Wesleyan Hospital in
Oklahoma City suffering from the
effects of a second operation for ap-
pendicitis. There is, however, every
hope of her recovery. She and Mr.
Edward Gait of Ardmore were mar-
ried at Lexington last Saturday
night, and the next morning she had
to go to the hospital for the second
operation. She is a beautiful and ac-
complished young lady, and made
many friends here while attending
the University.
