Seawell, on west 6th street, this city, on
August 26, 1901, at 9 o'clock p. i£., in
the presence of relatives and a few
friends. It was a quiet wedding be-
tween Mr. C. L. Hanold and Miss Nina
M. Sewall, both of Granite. Mr. C. A.
Hanold was groomsman and Miss Alma
L. Lott was bridesmaid. The bride was
beautiful in hor matchless white dress
trimmed in the most artistic manner.
She is one of Granite's fairest and most
charming young ladies. The groom is
a former Ohioan and a noble citizen of
this place. There were many presents
both beautiful and useful from those
present and others from afar. The Re*.
J. Cal. Litirell solemnized the rite for
them in an impressive manner. Their
home for the present is in the city.
May their life's pathway be ever strewn
with the flowers of prosperity and use-
fulness.

Kelly & Buck of tho Granite (Okla.)
Enterprise, are nothing if not enter-
prising. In addition to publishing one
of the best weeklies in southwestern
Oklahoma, they now propose establish-
ing a pup-*;- at Dill, Kiowa county,
to be known as the Register.—Vernon
Sun.
As tho above comes from the best
weekly new. paper published in western
Texas and coining from a lady editor at
that, we cr.n't help but feel highly com-
plimented. Thar.ks awfully.
Vol. 1, No. 1, of the Hobart Chief,
published by Spancgle, White & Brin-
ton reached our desk Tuesday. It is a
bright newoy, four column paper.
Though wo differ from it politically, we
wish the btys ali kinds of success, and
if they are given^ the proper patronage,
the Chief will give the people of Hobart
their money'j worth.
Ladies, we havo a big line of white
goods at priees lower than ever.

We will save you money on laces and
embroideries. The Dixie.

surance companies that write fire and

your insurance.
Morse & Kinsel.
A Jolly Crowd.
While the editors were moon and star
gazing, the "devil" ready for his night's
repose and the office cat standing senti
nel over the office mice, and the crickets
singing lulabies to the sleeping presses
after their hard day's work, a crowd,
jolly crowd at that, charged on the
Enterprise office about nine o'clock
The editors were about to flee the
wrath to come, the "devil" had con
eluded to not rest seven days in getting
out of the way of storm but to their
utter dismay it was nothing more than
five women from Mangum, who had
come over in a wagon to enjoy a day's
outing in Tittles' grove and drink sul-
phur water.
The party was composed of Misses
Fannie Crocker and Ellen Eagin, of
Oklahoma City; Mrs. Chas. Eagin,
Mrs. T. B. Chapman and Mrs. J. T.
Brittain, and Messrs. Chas. Eagin and
D. D. Tilley, of Mangum.
Claude Rorer and tho senior member
of this firm, Garland Buck, took pity
upon the crowd and bought about all
the water melons T. W. Baker had and
treated them to a rare treat, in fact so
rare was the treat that it made two or
three in the party quite sick for a spell
Of course, they enjoyed themselves, or
rather we think they did, for it is a
crime and a reward besides for any
three men that will talk to five women
when the women have the floor, and
another reward is offered for the man
who ever found a woman when she
didn't have the floor, we mean in a talk
ing mcdo, if she is sane to the world's
doings.
At uny rate they enjoyed themselves
by climbing the mountains and lounging
around in the groves and drinking soft
pure water. And another thing, we
want it distinctly understood, we en-
joyed their visit immensely and want
them to visit us any time and we will
treat them as far as our menu will allow.
They returned home Tuesday much
refreshed by their trip and with a deter'
mined mind, that is the married women,
to try and make their husbands believe
that Granite is the only place to live
and enjoy life. Call again ladies.
Morse 4 Kinsel will make you short
time loans. See them.

Barnes' Committee Locate It.
While the Barnes committee, sup-
posed to have been men loyal and true,
wens peacefully wending their way
homeward on the Choctaw R. R., after
a week's "jollification meeting" on the
roa& trying to locate a site for the
Southwest Normal, they took a vote on
which was the most feasible place to
locate the school. The first vote stood
three for Weatherford, one for Cordell
and one for Oranite. The man who
stood for Granite is not a typical west-
erner or he would have stood his ground
until he was shot off his pegs, but we
congratulate him for we honestly be-
lieve he wouldn't even get a pleasant
look.
THe Enterprise was of the opinion
all the time that Greer county would
not receive the Normal at the hands of
the Barnes committee. Long before
this committee took this little pleasure
trip, for that is all it will amount to, it
was nearly a settled fact that Weather-
ford would be the favored point with it.
Now we know it. We would rather by
far have seen this committee locate it at
Cordell or Elk City, but to locate it at
Weatherford, the center of western
Oklahoma, is perfectly ridiculous, and
for such skull duggery this committee
should be passed up as "has beens" and
left to kneel and wallow in the dust as
a penality for the blow they have struck
southwestern Oklahoma.
We suppose that while riding on that
Choctaw train they became so inspired
over refeshments that as a toast, they
said, "well boya, what shall it be,
Weatherford or the devil to pay?"
And of course they concluded to have
the "devil to pay," so located the Nor-
mal at Weatherford.
This committee will undoubtedly feel
pround of this act in after years. It
was | so honorable in them to locate a
Southwestern Normal school in the
center of Oklahoma. How the pages of
history will glisten with such a noble
act of how five true and trusted men
located a Southwestern Normal in the
center of Oklahoma, of what a hard
fought battle they had on a moving
Choctaw train to keep the school from
being located where it ought to be.

We Want the News.
During the past two weeks several
parties have sent news to this office of
which we indeed appreciate. This is
the only way to make a lire energetic
newspaper. The editor is bound to
overlook several little happenings inter
esting to many, and we indeed appreci-
ate all aid of this kind. If you have
anyone visiting you, or know any news
of interest either call the attention of
the editors or send it in. Below are
our sentiments:
"Don't get mad if your visitor's name
don't appear in the personal column.
Perhaps you did not tell the editor; he's
no mind reader. Don't get mad if your
neighbor's are referred to more often
than your own. Your neighbor uses
his mouth. Your modesty may. be
keeping you in obscurity. That's no
dream. A country newspaper man
can't spend all his time on the streets
and make three meals a day."—Ex-
change.

The Passenger Department of the
Rock Island Railway announces the
lowest rate to Cleveland on account of
the O. A. R. Encampment September
7 to ll, that has been accorded the Old
Soldiers since 1887. The rate is less
than one fare for the round trip. Tick-
ets will be on sale from stations west of
the Missouri river, September 7 to ll
inclusive and will be good to return up
to and including September 15, but the
return limit may be extended until Oc-
tober 8 by depositing the tickets with
Joint Agent before September IB and
paying fee of fifty cents.
The trip to Cleveland will be one of
much pleasure and enjoyment. The ex-
tremely low rate made by the Rook Is-
land will make it possible for large
numbers of the old soldiers and their
friends to go at a very small expense.
From Cleveland there will be cheap
rates in effect enabling those who de-
sire to visit the Pan-American Expo-
sition and this trip to Buffalo can be
made either by rail or boat.
CUeveand is making a special effort to
take the best care possible of the Vet-
erans as well as visitors and afford them
every opportunity for a pleasant and
enjoyable time while in the city. The
new soldiers' monument located in the
public square will be completed; the
electric lighting effects of this monu-
ment, it is said, will eclipse anything of
its kind heretofore attempted in this
country.

A Serions Accident.
Tommy Sparks, who drives the Aae-
heuser Busch beer wagon met with a
serious accident Monday. He waa
delivering ice at the meat market of
Evans te McSooter, and asked the pro-
prietor to hold the meat biock steady
while he stood on it and placed a cake
of ice in the refrigerator. As he was
in the act of putting the iee in the box,
the block upset throwing Tom to the
floor and the cake of ice Ml on toy* of
him breaking three ribs and bruising ap
his mouth considerable. It was thought
at first he was otherwise internally hurt
but found no serious damage done. It
was a very lucky escape from death.
Tom is able to be out again but ia very
sore.
Bank Commissioner's Report.
The report issued by Bank Commis-
sioner Frank J. Wykoff relative to the
condition of the 113 state banks of
Oklahoma at the close of business on
July 15 shows deposits on hand amount-
ing to |6,190,816.61, inclusive of cashier's
checks and amounts due other banks. This
is a decrease in deposits since March 21,
the date of the last call, of $433,745.22.
But this decrease in deposits is ac-
counted for by the fact that much of
the money was drawn in drafts by peo-
ple who went to the new country.
The loans and discounts shown by the
report are (3,350,985.78, an increase
since the last call, of $773,952.12, equal
to 17 per cent.
The average reserve held by the
banks is 57.6 per cent.
