tion of *vhlch the people of South-
westrn Oklahoma may well be proud.
It particularly belongs to them. It
comes from the only »tate scnooi
that. la located on the went aide of
the state. It deserves to be greeted
by a large audience If for no other
reason than that. There la no musical
organization In any state school that
13 Us muc'n In demand as this one.
Its program has been made up with
a view of pleasing the average music
loving | audience. The selections are
not so' popular as to be musically
cheap, and not ho severely classical
as not to be popular. While the or-
chestra ordinarily consists of more
than 25 members only fifteen are
chosen for this concert tour. Each
member of the orchestra is young and
has been selected for his individual
merit and for his value to the pro-
gram as a whole. The orohe-stra car-
ries no dead timber.
We bellve that ^ho public will ap-
preciate the opportunity to hear a
first clasa musical organization at a
reasonable compensation no|w isthe
reatonable expense, and be present
on the night of November the l^th
to appreciate the many good things
one that will be enjoyed by everyone
that will have the foresight of pur-
chasing tickets in advance in order to
be certain of a good seat.

A GOOD WOMAN PASSES AWAY
After a long seige of sickness, Mr?.
W. M. Taylor passed away at the Tay-
lor home, 42S Louisiana Avenue, on
October 30th. The funeral services
were conducted the day following in
the home, after which many friends
followed the remains to the cemetery,
where the last sad rites were per-
formed by Pastor Holmes Nichols, of
the First Baptist Church, of which
Mrs. Taylor was a consistent member.
The many friends who called at th«
home during Mrs. Taylor's continued
illness, and the long tuneral proces-
sion which followed the remains to
the "silent city," and the beautiful
floral designs sent to the heme, are
tokens of the hl£n esteem in which

of Mangum. Mrs. Taylor leaves a
