Weight. Mangum. From the
first it wss clear that Mangum
was easily out classed in every
way which no doubt made it
much more difficult for the nega-
tive. Blair went at it with the
vim and energy that knows no
defeat and altho Mangum knew
it was a losing fight, were game
to the last ditch The decision
of the judges was unanimous for
the sffermstive. The best of
feeling and generous spirit pre-
vailed throughout the evening-
It is indeed a pleasure to meet
and cross swords with high toned
gentlemen and ladies as were
present from Mangum, The
Judges were: Mr. Brown, Supt.
Sayer School*, Mr. Richard, Supt
Elk City and Mrs. Buck of Clin-
ton.
Too much credit f6r the suc-
cess of Blair team cannot be giv-
en Prof. Eaker for his almost
prodigal outlay of time and
means to insure success of his
team.

Notice To Farmers
If you want pure Acala Cotton Seed you had better
get them at once, we have about 150 bushels left
in stock which sre guaranteed 98 per cent germina-
tion. You will find good seed very hard to get as
Texas seed houses are offering $4.50 to $6.00 per
bushel for good Oklahoma seed- While ours last you
can get them at the Gin for $3.25 per bushel. First
come first served.
