made by a large number of South Mc-
Alester people to defeat the con-
summation of the annexation proposi-

ing room was appropriately and taste-
fully decorated. Covers were laid for
ten upon a beautifully arranged table.

sisted of the usual Thanksgiving sub-
stantial* and dainties, prepared by
the skilled hands or under the super
