OLD SETTLERS' PICNIC
A GRAND SUCCESS
One of Largest Gatherings In His-
tory of Norman Attends 1910 Re-
union and W. O. W. Picnic.
Cotton
With noise from early morning Fri
day until late at night Saturday the
people of Norman, Cleveland county,
and adjoining counties, celebrated
the 1310 reunion of toe Old Settlers
in connection with thg W. O, W.
There were people here; there
were people everywhere. In buggies
on horses, in automobiles, on bicy-
cles, in baby buggies, on mules, in
farm wagons, band wagons, road
wagons, traps, on foot (mostly) and
every other known vehicle for the
transportation of modern day human-
ity. It was a big jolly crowd, and
drunkenness and rowdyism were no-
ticeaqle by their absence. Friday's
crowd was not so large on account of
Thursday's rain, but Saturday was a
hummer. Everybody came and every
body had a good time. No dust, not
extremely warm but just an ideal
day 6or a picnic. The barbeeue
brought them all out. It was a suc-
cess and all got their share. The pa-
rade was a good one. Startin? from
the court house the procession went
up Peters Avenue, to Gray street.
Thence west to Santa Fe then direct
to the city park. Along Peters Ave-
nue people lined the s reet on either j
side. It was a good looking sight.
First came the chief of police, a m in
resembling the colored champion,
Awtha Johnson, commonly known as
.Jack, his chest ndorn«l with a star
so large as to be a compliment to
any yet discovered ou this planet.
He looked big enough to handle the
whole thing, and he did. Now guess
who it was. Following the big min
came our city marshal, J. M. South-
ern. The music wagon, with Nor-
man's Cornet Band played his accom-
paniment. J. H. Anderhub rode his
horse next after the band and he
was protected by the fire department
The W. O. W. team in uniform, was
just behind the fire wagon. "Muckle"
Giles held down the next section of
the grand pageant; close behind him
whs the mascot and goat. Next came
a very familiar sight, one not forgot-
ten vet—a typical filer wagon and
all its furniture. Silers and families
came next, followed by lloat-i repre-
senting the Palace of Bargains, Wi-
nan's Mercantile Co., Barbour & Sans
Brittain Lumber Co., Howard Pick-
ard Motor Car Co. The W. O. W.
had two of tne best lloats in the pa-
rade. One represented a family un
protected, with poverty and want ev-
ident on every hand. Wash tubs and
pans, with a maid at each of tliem,
made the scene true to life. Dir ctty
behind this flo it was the family pro-
tected by W. O. W., sub-tanti 1 and
home like. Comfortable and conten-
ted, its members were looking at the
rosy side of life. The W. O W's
should be c )m|dlmented. Tuey de-
livered the goods. Others fe 1 in line
behind and the pir.ide wound uo at
the par.t for the in ir.mig exercises
These consisted of music by the band
and an address by Prof. W. W. Rice,
republican candidate for county sup-
erintendent of public instruction. He
made a decided hit. Mr. Rice is as
well educated a man as any of Cleve-
land county's large number.
Barbecue was served to all holding
tickets, The Stella singing class car
ried off the blue ribbon in the sing-
ing contest.

most successful meet yet held. The
meeting was held under the auspices
of the United Sfates National Lawn
Tennis Association, this b^ing the
fir9t meet under the national organi-
zation. Players from over Texas and
Oklahoma were in attendance.
There were thirty-three men en-
tered in the singles and forty-four
men entered in the doubles. The
tennis was exceptionally fast and
classy. Friday's meet saw the fast-
est tennis ever played in Oklahoma.
John T. Bailey, of Albion, winner of
the championship singles from R !.
Conger, is a phenom' to say the
least. He won the singles without
losing a set. Bailey and Speice, of
Kingfisher, won the final double ser-
ies from Adoue and Shelton, of Dal-
las, 4-0, 9-7, 6-3, 6 4. The plaj ers at-
tending the meet were, Nihart, R1 -

falo, N. Y. After passing through,
the public school and high school he
graduated from Cornell University
in 1NS0, taking liigb rank in a large
class. While in college he published
a number of learned articles on psy-
chology and education in which sub
school year. It doesn't take much
time and often times is worth a great
deal. Each teacher should remem-
ber that next year's salary depends
somewhat on this year's wgrk.
Prof. W. W. Allen, who has been
employed to teach the M</>re school
for the ensuing year, is Aaking ar-
rangements in regard to the opening
of his school. Mr. Allen is a good
school man and we are sure will teach
the peoole of Moore a good school.
We will expect the chairman of
the executive committee to call a
meeting of itie commitiee soon to
select a course of study for the
Reading Circle work, if it is the in
tention to take that kind of work;
if not, the teachers would be glad to
know what work Is to be done.
