BEAUTIFUL
Was the Ceremony
Which Made Miss Willie Mae
Jolly the Wife of John B.
Chailes, of McAles-
ter, Oklahoma
Tuesday of this week at high noon
at the home of the bride in this city
occurred the wedding of Miss Willie
Mae Jolly, the popular and accom-
plished daughter of Rev. and Mrs.
I V Jolly, and John B Chailes,
one of McAlester’s foremost and re-
spected young business men.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. M. F. Cowden, pastor of the
Central Presbyterian church of Mc-
Alester, amid beautiful surround-
ings. The house was tastefully dec-
orated with potted plants, cut flowers
and honey-suckles. One corner was
artistically draped with trailing
vines and garlands of roses suspend-
ed from window to window, which
formed a floral archway. The win-
dows were blinded and the house
was brilliantly lighted, which gave
the decorations a most beautiful
effect.
Promptly at twelve o’clock the
wedding march began, the contract-
ing parties reached the archway,
turned and faced the audience and
two hearts were made as one, after
which the wedding march was re-
sumed by Mrs. F. I. Richards, while
the bridal party marched out through
the hall door, where congratulations
were received.
Miss Bessie Winter of Wynne-
wood, acted as bride’s maid, and
Ray I)e La Meter of McAlester, as
best man.
Pne bride was dressed in Wh’te
Muslin de Soi and carried in her
hand a boquet of white tea roses.
1 ne groom was attired in the con-
ventional black and also
happiest of smiles.

bride, Miss Willa Mae Jolly, las*
Friday afternoon, with a Kitchen
Shower.
The rooms of Mrs. Charles’ beau-
tiful home, were elaborately decor-
ated with festoons of wedding bells.
The bride-elect was invited to
seat herself on the porch, whereupon
the guests marched past and stacked
the kitchen utensils at her feet. With
each gift was a Ryme which Miss
Jolly read aloud.
To the strains of Mendelsshon’s
wedding march the guests passed in
to luncheon.
In keeping with the decorations
the ice cream was served in the
shape of wedding bells.
Each guest was given a pencil and
a sheet of paper and requested to
write her favorite recipe. Then all
were gathered together in a dainty,
hand painted book and presented to
the bride-elect.

the guests as favors.

The County Commissioners accom-
panied by the County Surveyor have
been busily engaged this week in
looking up the proposed route for
tjie new road which is to be built
in near future. They have also
this week met with City Councils of
our nearby towns and Commissioner
Morjow states that all the towns are
anxious for the new road to be built
and have assured the Commissioners
that as soon as the road is built to
the corporate limits, the towns will
continue same on through to connect
same. The Commissioners thought
that they were to meet with our City
Council last Monday night but it
seems that there was a misunder-
standing and the meeting did
not take place. We understand how-
ever that our Council is willing to
meet with the Commissioners and
talk the matter over. We would

On Tuesday evening the Junior
class of the High School gave a

in honor of the Senior Class ’09.
It was one of the best banquets
ever given in Stroud. The color
scheme was carried out in all the
courses and the toasts included a
j variety of subjects.
Jesse Inman, the president of the
Junior Class, was Master of Cere-

The Junior Class this year is a
promising class and bids fair to be
a strong Senior Class next year.

Come, Hear Him
The Lady Rebeccas, needing
funds to buy carpets and otherwise
decorate the New Hall, advertized
an Auction Supper for Friday eve-
ning.
Every body was supposed to
bring something that could be sold
at auction—and everyone present
brought something.
The early evening was devoted
to an old fashion spelling school.
O. T. Hubbell was appointed
school master and being provided
with a law-book from which he pro-
nounced the hardest words he could
find.
John Schubel, Pete Wrench, W. S.
Shaffer and Sherman Mooter spelled
difficult words with as much ease as
a college graduate, although they
kicked furiously for not being al-
lowed to say double s, instead of say-
ing s-s. But they, being naturally
bright, caught on and showed all
that they were experts. Colonel
Mooter auctioneered the merchan-
dise off getting fabalous prices for
them. The merchandise proved very
valuable in some instances.
Charley Tarter got a pair of sox
—we think they were Oddfellows as
j one was 3 b_v4 inches and the other
i was 18 by 24.
j Oscar Hubbell got a large box of
j radishes and after meditating upon
| his bargain thought of the story of
| “Stingy Peter,”so he proceeded to
divide up. After the colonel had
completed the sales and counted up a
handsome sum, he proclaimed in such
melodeous tones, that would put a
swamp frog to shame, that supper
would be served.
! The Lady Rebeccas, who know
j how to reach man’s heart and make
j him believe he loves every one
j of them, served a two or a three or
| four course lunch(the writer does
not remember very distinctly about
j this ) That was delicious Cherry pie,
j Gooseberry pie, Mince pie, Black-
j berry pie, Lemon pie and Goose-
| berry pie again—that’s about all I
| remember.
Then Messrs Schubel, Shaffer,
j Tarter, and Hubbell got young and]
I gay and wanted to play. Messrs
Mooter, Stephens, Fender, Wrench
and some other of the older folks
said they had eaten to i much goose-
berry pie. But the first named gen-
tlemen played “Drop the Hand-
kerchief , and “FIring Dutchman.’’
Now that flying iisiness was im-
mense, and sometimes a little bit
difficult, but the vay those boys
played, it made vorybody sit up
and take notice.
Shaffer and Tart >r both beat Fris-
co time, going around the ring. The
Lady Rebeccas w ire onto the game
and played their part to perfection.
Much praise is d le Mesdames Jno.
Schubel, T. R. Hall, Jno. Hubbell,
committee who planned and man-
aged this social event, and if ever
they have another one, the writer
wants to know it.
Sure I Was There
No Summer School at the
State University this Year
Norman, Okla May 16 The
faculty of the University of Okla-
homa regrets that it has to announce
the suspension of the summer school
for the present year. For financial
reasons it has been found impossible
to make provisions for carrying on
tnis work. It is hoped, however,
that plans may be so made that the
work will be resumed next year and
the summer session will become a
regular part of the University.
The suspension of the summer
scool will make it possible for a
number of the professers of the
University to visit various teacher’s
institues throughout the state.
Professor Henry Meier of the Univ-
ersity Extension Committee, will be
glad to hear from any who are de-
siring to make arrangements for
special lectures or addresses at
teachers institutes or other educa-
tional gatherings during the summer.
Tarantula in Bananas at Bro-
gan & Miller’s
Tuesday as S. P. Harmon was un-
crating bananas be discovered a
huge tarantula. As the morning
was somewhat cool, its capture was
easily effected. The tarantula was
placed on exhibition in a glass jar at
their store.
