day loaded for the loeal team

carrying the little end of an
eight to nothing shutout. Tin-
visitors not only couldn't find
either Ownby of I'artaiu local
box artists but one did get to
first occasionally he rtlilnt
seem to know that he ought
lo go farther and just froze to
the base until there were three
outs. Meantime the locals bat
ted the stuffin out of the ugly
looking slants that the visit-
ing spit ball artist sent across
and everybody seemed to get
a hit whenever he wanted it.
Ownby started the pitching for
Durant and John Partaln fin-

Turnbull of the Choctaw In
dians who has just returned
from a conference with Inter
ior Department officials at
Washington the per capita
payment to the Choctaws this
year will be slightly under $200
owing to the fact that the In-

enough to distribute that sum

The bill as passed authoriz

Farm Agent this week tender-
ed to the director of farm dem-

12th. The director refused to
accept the resignation but Mr.
Brown is obdurate and says he
is going to quit In order that
he may devote his time to bus-
iness of a private nature as he
has had a flattering offer. Mr.
Brown has been the demon-
stration agent for the county
for about two years and in that
time has accomplished more
good than all the former agents
all time put together. For the
present Mr. Brown says his
work wll be looked after by
his assistant Mr. G. B. Dunlap
who is a man of large experien-
ce. A successor has not been
selected by the state director.

Mckinney who visited at Bon-

that some of the business men
in Bonham had heard that Du-
rant was talking of building a
natatorium and that they
would take all the surplus

or not the proposition would
pay. After the discussion a
committee of three was ap-
pointed to look into the mat-

forth.

NORMAL NOTKS
The summer graduating
class this year is the largest
summer class in the history of
the school. There are 2ft who
will finish their school work
in this normal on July 25th.
A remarkable feature of this
class is the fact that they are
for the greater part school
teachers who nave completed
their courses by attending sum-
mer sessions only.
The commencement sermon
will 1k nrcaehed bv the Ilev. R.

the meeting one of the Ivst
that they had held thlsiyear.
The normal addition took
quite a boost this week when
contracts were let for six cot-
tages to be built. The faculty
members have let contracts
for these cottages which at"
all near the normal . campus
These cottages will be occupied
by the faculty members as toon
as completed.
The normal base ball team
has been playing in the Duraiu
city league and has made a
good showing. They start -d
out poor in the frst series hut
won the last six games putting
theiu near the top. The sec-
ond series starts next week and
all expect the normals to win
the second series. Roberta and
the Normals play the first
game. The second series ends
Sept. Kith just the beginning
of foot ball.
Barney Iteilly the great
Irish-American baritone sing-
er gave the summer teachers
ti great program Wednesday
night of this week. Reillv
was a member of Ghicago
White Sox when they won tiie
pennant in 1 !()!). He was par-
ticipant in the World's seris.
He was a famous Yale foot lull
star. All of these things ad-
ded to his popularity with the
teachers. They were ' all de-
lighted with the program.
A remarkable thing aim it
this summer session in th"
wonderful way the enrollment
is kpt up. There have en-
rolled at present S81 and of this
number only 10 have with-
drawn. It is only two week;;
until the close of the term and
for such a few to have with-
drawn shows that the teachers
are here for business. Another
favorable impression that this
summer student body is crcat-
ins is the fact that very few of
the teachers are seen on he
streets of Durant during week
nights. The class work is far
above the average for a sum-
mer session which goes to
show that the school teacher
of the present day is one who
is preparing to teach. The
fiddy girl has disappeared from
the teaching profession and
the thoughtful energetic girl
has taken her place much to
the delight of the parent and
the child.
