To Have a Banquet
Business Men of Delaware Decide to Feast
The Business men of Delaware
and their friends got together
Wednesday and made arrange-
ments for a panquet which will
be held next Thursday night.
Chas. B. Barham, Dr. Scott and
Dr. Mabry were appointed a
committee to make arrangements
and the committee expect t o
have the affair in the I. 0. 0. F.
hall. Twenty firms and individ-
uals put up $5.00 each to pay the
expenses and the whole thing is
now in the hands of the commit-
tee. They expect t o entertain
about 125 men from this place
Nowata, Lenapah and Coffey-
ville.
At this banquet speeches will
be made by local talent and out
of town guests. The object is
to get together, get better ac-
quainted and plan for greater
things in the future.
Inteimban Probabilities
The Kansas-Oklahoma Traction
Co., will probably extend it’s line
but whoever heard of a railroad
building a branch before the
main line was completed. The
line will probably go to Tulsa,
maybe farther, via Watova,
Oolagah, Talala and Collinsville
but the side shows will have to
wait till the big tent is put up.
Delaware Baptist
Invited to Nowata
Rev. J. C. Stalcup of Okla-
homa City will speak at the First
Baptist Church in Nowata next
Saturday night 7:30 o’clock, and
Sunday morning at 11:00 o’clock.
Mr. Stalcup is the Superintend-
ent of State Mission work in
Oklahoma and general manager
of the Baptist University to be
opened in Shawnee next Septem-
ber. He will speak on the sub-
ject of Christian Education. I
am very anxious for as many of
our people ;om Delaware as
possible to hear Mr. Stalcup. He
is one of the best Baptist speak-
ers in Oklahoma. You can leave
Delaware on the 7:00 o’clock car
Saturday night and 10:00 o’clock
Sunday morning. This is an
excellent opportunity hear a
great man speak. Come all who
can. M. A. Summers, pastor.

School Notes
Last Friday closed the fifth
month of school. The school
month was five weeks in length
as one week extra was taught to
make up part of the time lost
during the quarantine.
There has been quite a number
of pupils out on account of sick-
ness and considerable time has
been lost so a special effort will
be made during the coming
month to secure regularity and
punctuality of attendance.
In addition to the patriotic
declamations by the Tenth Grade
to b e given on Washington’s
Birthday, (Feb. 22.) the class
will present a short drama en-
titled “Trapped,” several pa-
triotic songs and a flag drill will
also be given.
The Eight Grade pupils have
finished the study of Oklahoma
History and have begun the study
of Oklahoma Civics. They were
surprised to find that many men
whom they ku'W were filling
offices which gave them dignified
titles.
The class in Hoodley’s Natural
Phiosephy had last Monday a
difficult problem in estimating
the pressure of water on a mill
dam. The difficulty of the
problem caused the boys in the
class to refer to the “dam” more
often than the teacher thought
necessary.

C. C. REID
Two Doctrinal Sennons
At Baptist Church
\ s pastor o f the Delaware
Baptist church, I will preach two
sermons on the Lord’s Supper.
Next Sunday at two o’clock the
subject will be “Reasons for the
Baptist Position on Restricted
Communion.” the following Sun-
day the subject will be “Who
may partake of the Lord’s Sup-
per. ” I want to assure the peo-
ple of Delaware and especially
those of other Denomination who
have attended so many of our
services, that while these ser-
mons will be to some extent
Polemical, they will be preached
in love and with the highest re-
gard for the opinions of those
holding different views. This is
an effort to teach our own people
our’distinctive doctrines and to
give others, wishing to do so, an
opportunity to hear the other
side of this question.
Any question any one may
wish to ask will be gladly re-
ceived by the pastor in writing
and answered the following Sun-
day. M. A. Summers, pastor.
