recent meeting in Guthrie, the Norman
Peoples Voice has this to say: They
know they are heartily welcomed and
will be royalty treated in such cities.
In all such entertainments Guthrie
makes it point to surpass all other
towns in the territory and last Mon
day nights entertainment was the
best, all things considered, of any like
entertainments ever held in the terri
tory. The large opera house was COM
pletely Iflled with tables groaning
under the weight of wines and victuals
and fruits of all kinds, with two
walters in charge of each table and
every chair in the house occupied
when the feast began, and with the
ball room still fairly well occupied
with merry dancers that were unable
to get to the first tables. The toasts
and responses were good and sparkled
with much ~it."
