wasn't "pulled off" on that date; but
we are now in a position to announce
that it will positively occur next

mencing about 7:30 o'clock. The

be six-tenths overshadowed, n
watch for it.
Mr. Lafe Canada, of Noble, bore
down upon this office last Tuesday
loaded to the guards with choice se-
lections of the fruit of . his orchard
and vineyard. We observed at once
that he had the drop on us and sur-
rendered without offering the slight-
est resistance. The fruits consisted
of grapes, apples, peaches and pears
and they were about as fine samples
of these fruits as we have ever seen
anywhere. By a rising vote a motion
tendering Mr. Canada the thanks of
this office for his donations, was car-
ried unanimously.
The Noble "Quitters," the crack ball
team of growler town, will cross bats
with a delegation from the black jack
i region at Noble Saturday. A good
game is promised, but it is a ten to
one shot that Noble will quit t>efore
the fith inning. The Noble boys all
play hall some, and when It comes to
the "baby act," a kindergarten, isn't
a circumstances. The management
should provide each player with a
nurse bottle and a jersey cow.—Lex-
ington Leader.
We are reliably informed that the
black jackers desired a written guar-
antee from the overgrown "babies"
that a nine inning game of ball would
be played. The guarantee was not
given and there was no game played
on last Saturday. We would suggest
to the management that if a jersey
cow was to expensive any old long
horn would do to furnish in connec-
tion with the nursing bottle.
The fall term of the University of
Oklahoma begins September 15th,
1897. It will open with increased fa-
cilities in all departments. The en-
tire four years college course is now
offered and next year will witness the
graduation of the first class. As our
readers are all aware, this institution
is supported by the territory at large
for the benefit of the young people of
the territory. We notice from the
announcement just received that not
only is tuition free, but all living ex-
penses are low. Full information can
be had by addressing Pres. D. R. Boyd,
Norman, Okla., for catalogue and full
information.
A Cleveland county granger, while
stacking wheat saw a huge rattlesnake
under the last sheaf. He quickly cut
a forked stick and after carefullv re-
moving the wheat very adroitly slip-
ped the stick over the snake's neck.
After the snake was securely fasten-
ed, the snake-catcher fluttered his red
handkerchief in the captured reptile's
face. The rattler, like an infuriated
bull, became exceedingly vicious, and
bit into the cloth with holding-on
vigor. Like a snapping-turtle, it held
stubbornly on, until the granger pull-
ed with the bandanda its poison-hold-
ers clean out. Then he took the fang-
less, harmless snake home, and it be-
came the family pet until it was kill-
ed by the house cat. Now its glitter-
ing skin is used by the granger as a
shining hat band.—Cushing Herald.
Alfalfa is better than a bank ac-
count, for it never fails or goes into
hands of a receiver. It is weather-
proof, for cold does not injure and heat
only makes it grow all the better. A
winter flood will not drown it and a fire
will not kill it. When growing there
is no stopping. As a borer it is equal
to an artesian well; it loves water and
bores to reach it. Begin cutting a 20-
acre field and when your last load is
handled at one end of the field, it is
ready to cut again at the other end.
For filling a milk can an alfalfa-fed
cow is equal to a handy pump. Cat-
tle love it, hogs fatten upon it, and a
hungry horse wants nothing else If
your land will grow Alfalfa you have
the drop on dry weather. Once start-
ed on your land it will stay by you
like Canada thistles or a first-class
mortgage, but only make you wealth-
ier and happier. Evidence of the
profitableness of alfalfa on irrigated
lands in the semi-arid regions multi-
ply from year to year.—Garden City
Herald.
Last Saturday night at 12 o'clock a
gentle rain began to fall and contin-
ued until four o'clock. About nine
o'clock it commenced again and con-
tinued until about twelve o'clock
noon. The rain was general and fall-
ing slowly the ground drank it all in,
insuring a fine crop of corn and push-
ing cotton crop towards maturity
The cornfields could not have stood
dry weather much longer without ser-
ious injury. The early upland fields
suffered injury to some extent, by
reason of the prolonged dry weather.
Thirty-three days is most too long be-
tween drinks for upland corn in this
country at this season of the year.
The bottoms and sandy land stood the
drouth and warm weather in good
shape and will make a heavy yield.
The late fruit is also greatly bene-
fited by the rain and the pastures
and hay lands were needing it badly.
To say that Cleveland county farmers
are feeling jubilant is putting it too
mildly. They passed through one
week of dreadful suspense and rain
came when they had almost given up
hope of it coming in time to save
their corn.
The literary freak who writes
pieces for the Topic criticises the
Voice's using the word "connection"
—saying "connexion" is the proper
word. Notwithstanding our critic is
a high-up authority in the lingual
"sciences," we must still be allowed
to retain our delusion that he hasn't
yet ousted Noah Webster from his
old position—so we will appeal to
Noah:
Connect, v. t. [Lat. eonnecto.] To link or
knit together; to join or unite, etc.
Connex v, t. [Lat. connexum.] To link to-
gether (Not in t s*.]
Connection, n. [I.nt.connexio—see Connect.]
Act of joining, or state of being joined, etc.
Connexion, h.—Connection. (Webster gives
'connection'as tlie derivative of the English
'connect,' antl advises discarding 'connexion.']
He also has a composition two col-
umns long in the aforementioned
paper, exposing a half-dozen or so of
typographical or grammatical errors
in past issues of the Voice. Oddly
enough, we counted just thirty errors
in the first column of this precious ef-
fusion—or sixty in one article devoted
to sprucing up the Voice !—some of
his sample "spells" being Accasloned,
Aparatus, Wise-acer,Godess, Apetite,
Wolly (for woolly], etc, etc.
I wish to announce to my patrons in
Cleveland county,that my gallery here
in Norman will be closed for a short
time during the summer. Business
will be resumed about September 1st,
or before not later, when I hope to
offer to you better work than ever and
I shall endeavor to give you the very
choicest work and gain your further
patronage by returning you full value
for your money.

ELECTRIC BITTERS.
Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gener-
ally needed when the languid, exhaust-
ed feeling prevails, when the liver is
torpid and sluggish and the need of a
tonic and alterative is felt. A prompt
use of this medicine has often averted
long and perhaps fatal billious fevers.
No medicine will act more surely in
counteracting and freeing the Bystem
from the malarial poison. Headache, In-
digestion, Constipation, Dizziness yield
to Electric Bitters, 50 cents and $1.00
per bottle at Blake & Reed's Drug
Store.
Money to Loan.
We have money to loan for 1, 2 and
3 years time, on good farms at the
lowest rate of interest ever loaned be-
fore in this city.

Teachers selected.
The East side public school board
met last Saturday afternoon and em-
ployed teachers for the ensuing school
year of nine months. The teachers
selected and salaries paid are as fol-
lows: Salaries
per mo.
Wm. N. Ricc, Principal, - $75.00.
Miss Mattie Tulley Ass't. Prin., $45.00.
Miss Lucile Bodine, 6th grade, $40.00.
Miss Rose Jackson, 5th " "
MissStellaHennessy, 4h " "
Miss Maggie Alford, 3d " "
Miss Lydia White, 2d " "
Miss Minna Leach, 1st primary, "
Miss Annie Challis, chart class, $45.00
In the selection of the above roster
of teachers we think the board exer-
cised good judgment and we feel con-
fident that not a school in the terri-
tory will have a more efficient corps
of teachers, for ensuing school year,
than the East side school of Norman.
