Hon. S. W. Murphy, inspector for thf>
United States department of aRrlcul-
|ture, with headquarter8 at Durant,
writes The that he recently vis-
ited the'A. D. " bane experiment farm
at Lookhart, Tex. Mr. Murplv. says
! he had this cotton shipped to Durant,
where it is being sold to the farmers
at actual cost. Tills seed has hrcn
thoroughly inspected and ia recom-
mended by the department of agricnl
ture. The price of this seed, F. O. It.
Durant, is 92 cen^j per bushel, 32
pounds. It Is in original sacks of the
Mebane Cotton Company. This cotton
will gin from 37 to 40 per cent. Any
person who desires some of this seed
should write Mr. Murphy at once.
In regard to the receipt of this cot
ton by Mr. Murphy, a Durant paper
says:
"The carload of Mebane cotton seed
which was ordered some time ago for
the farmers in the vicinity or Durant
has arrived and is now in the ware-
house of the Cotton Oil company ready
for distribution by T. L. Cox. This
seed comes from Loekhart, Texas,
where it was raised under the personal
■supervision of Mr. Mebane, who, for
the past seven years, has been devel
oping'Mebane cotton seed under the
direction of the United States depart-
ment of agriculture, it is claimed for
the Mebane cotton that it matures ear-
lier and is more easily picked than any
other cotton and that it is not so lia-
ble to be injured by the boll weevil.
The government recommends it as the
very best, and the records that have
been kept show this guaranty to be
justified. Last spring S. W. Murphy,
of Durant, special agent of the United
States agricultural department, c11e-
trlbuted fifty-seven bushels of this seed
in the vicinity of Durant and the crop
raised from it showed the largest yield
of cotton raised in this section.
"The carload of seed which has just
been brought hero- contains fiixteen
hundred bushels, and it is to be sold
to the farmers at actual cost. Mr. Mur-
phy had this seed brought to Durant,
and the money to pay ror it was ad-
vanced by the First Na'tonal bank and
■he Durant National bank, without any
interest charge Another carload is
to be sent to Caddo for the use of
farmers in that neighborhood, and the
money to pay for it is to he advanced
by the Caddo National bank, without
interest charge."

S. Broadway, Edmond, Okla.
Rev. N. I- 1 .inebnugh of Oklahoma
City issued a call Tuesday morning for
a meeting on De cember 14 of the board
of trustees of the tiew Methodist Col
■ lege for young ladies which will be
built three miles aouth of Edmond in
the coming year. At the meeting,
architec .urnl nlans and landscaping
work which has been performed hv
.rehitects and landscape artispn, will
tie considered and plans for the new
Institution adopted.,
The new college Is to he located In
the College Park addition, between Ed-
mond and Britton, on the knoll of a
beautiful rolling prairie which is the
highest elevation between Kansas City
and the Gulf. The cost of the buildings
will be $350,000, this amount having
been decided upon at the meeting of
the Oklahoma Methodist Episcopal
church. South, which was held at Mas-
kotrce during the firs* week In Novem-
ber. The decision of the ministers at
that time was to establish a school In
Oklahoma, which would be the erpial
of any school now conducted under the
auspices of the church, and which
would have one of the most extensive
and thorough curriculums of any girls'
school in America.
The plans which have been prepnred
for their approval, is one of the most
elaborate attempts yet undertaken In
connection with an educational Institu-
tion In this country. A special effort
has t". en made to utilise the Ideal loca-
tion of the school to the best advan-
tage, and secure In every way possible
the benefit of the scenic panorama
which spreads In every direction from
the campus of the proposed institu-
tion.
With a first view of securing the
greatest amount, of convenience in the
arrangement of the buildings, an ef-
fort has rIso been made to get an
architectural unity which will add ma-
terially to the classic appearance of
the design as a whole. In the prelim-
inary plans which have been prepared,
his Idea has been followed entlrelv
with a result which Is both gratifying
and reflective of the distinctive style
of architecture which is found in the
southwest.
Administration Building.
The Administration building Is of n
design fnlly In keeping with the latter
day American Ideas found I11 tills class
of buildings, and a noteworthy contri-
bution to academic architecture In
America. Beside the Administration
building, a science hall is planned
which will be ore of the most complete
of Its kind In this country.
A school of fine arts will be con-
structed, and in which a faculty com-
posed of some of the most notaV
specialists in fine arts In America will
secured. It Is the Intention of Dr.
I.Inebnugh, who will be president of I
the new institution, to make this ad-
junct a. distinctive feature of the col j
And His Dog
lege, and afford to the people of the 1
southwest a school of this class which '
Is the equal to the best, equllijied con-
servatories of the east.
Card of Thanks.
We wish to express our sincere ap-
preciation to the churenes, fraternal
and military orders, to the school, Its
president, faculty and classes, to the
mayor and all citizens of Edmond,

loving tributes given our beloved fath-
er, Professor Richard Thatcher, at the
time of his death. We also wish tp
