I 1 Eighty-Five.
The Band of Hope numbers so many
active, intelligent child workers, and
on Washington's birth day anniversary
they gave the people of Norman the
treat of the season. At Sou well Opera
House at 7:30, the curtain was raised
and revealed to the crowded house a
sea of bright faces. "America" was
rendered by The Band, and as the mel-
ody of that grand old song burst from
the throats of this childish throng, it
was apparent that all were pleased as
much by the sweet voices as by the per-
fect time and exact rendering of the
piece. This was but a promise of what
the entire program was to be: Every
heart full of love for their grand work
made every song full of life and melody;
every dialogue full of instruction and
thought; every declamation full of
light and beauty, and the entire pro-
gram full of interest and spirit. In
making up this program and the selec-
tion and training ofthe youthful actors
In this entertainment showed intelli-
gence and a knowledge of art that
would have been creditable to far older
heads. One distinctive feature of the
program was the absence of boyish in-
trusion into any of the leading parts.
Those were given almost entirely to
the girls, but the manful little fellows
helped with zeal and spirit in every part
given them. They know that if the
world Is saved at all by human pow
the girls and women must save it. As
space forbids a mention of all who took
part, it would be unfair to make special
mention.
The music by Prof. Corbin and wife
was excellent. The curtain went down
for the last time before a tabloau that
must have touched every heart.. The
entire band appearing onee more
in silence, but a silence that was more
expressive than words. It gave the
vast audience a moment to gaze upon
the bright face of happy childhood. We
cannot give your names girls, but some
of you mayjyet thrill melodies to an aj>-
plauding world,.nor your names boys,
but your have elements of oratory that
may gain the applause of listening
thousands. Make these talents sub-
servient to the good work begun in
childhood, aqd may you live long and
be as happy always as you made your
audience on that night.

Trades Carnival.
When you talk of displays you must
know that the business firms of Norman
are in it, and the ladies of Norman
know how to arrange for it. There
were 32 business firms represented at
the Carnival last Friday night and
every body unites in the expression
grand, magnificent, grand royal. The
house was full of people who enjoyed
the occasion to the utmost. 'I he gross
receipts were $34.85. We could not
earn what the expenses were and
therefore do not know what was clear-
ed for the parsonage ofthe M. E. Church
in whose interest it was given The!
next day the ladies who represented the1
business firms gave us a street parade j
that was dazzling in its rich display of
costumes and banners.

thing in giving the veteran Capt. Bi,sh-

try.
L. J. Edwards and family started yes-
terday to Connerville, Intl., in response

Mi'. N. G. Roberts who lias been in
business here for several months sold
out his stock the first part of the week

This caused considerable comment I
from all sides. Mr. Roberts owed sev-
eral bills and thought the stock would
not payout, so not wishing to meet his j
creditors he took the south bound train
for Purcell where he says he intended |
to remain a day or two and lix up mat- i
ters with his creditors. The case is
now in the courts and will come up for
hearing next Monday. We give the I
above facts all we know concerning the!1 11
ease and await developments, not wish- S<M'
ing to bo an injustice to miv one con-
nected with the affair. A11'the particu-
lars will be given in time and until then
we refrain from comment.

tion.
Mr. Goodrich, of the above company,
who is here organizing a branch associ-
ation, requested that inquiry be made
of the El Reno banks concerning his or-
ganization at that place, and asking
whether all promises made by him had
been kept. The following telegram
from the Stock Exchange Bank, ought
to prove satisfactory to the most scepti-
cal:

clear up the work. This should not be
the case as the sooner the board can
wind up the business the better for
all concerned. If you claim property
