The ARDMOREITE is in receipt of a
telegram from Delegate Wilson ut
South McAlester which says: "Vini-

and Purcell against the field, and the
field combining against them, carried
the day after three hours balfoting,
Purcell stayed nobly with Ardmore

to beat Ardmore. The convention is
called for June 9th."

see the Democratic ralley occur at

evitable majority, discordant though
it may be to some, and now that the

On one OCCASION Queen Victoria. Louis
Philippe and the Duko of Wellington
paid visit to Eton college. They were
invited 10 sign the visitors book. The
French king thoughtlessly took up the
pen aud signed his name at the top of
the page. Etiquette. however, forbade
Queen Victoria to sign her name under
any other. She therefore signed ON the
top Of the next page. She then took up
the pen and handed il 70 the Duke Of
Wellington, who was - excited Ht the
cOntretemps that he actually signed his
name 'Weggington. Aud. by the way,
it may be recorded that etiquette forhids
