The Labor Day celebration in
Chickasha this year surpassed any
thing of the kind ever held in the
history of the city. If any one
ever entertained any doubt as to
the strength of the labor unions in
Chickasha their doubts would have
been dispelled by viewing the i'm
mense procession, headed by the
band and composed of all the local
unions in the city as it moved down
Chickasha avenue. Several hundred
union men were in line wearing
badges, bearing banners or wearing
uniforms that indicated their crafts.
The la of M. and the boiler
makers attracted the most attention
as they exhibited to the public their
every day work and the electrical
workers also had a novel display:all
the unions made creditable show
ings.
At the picnic grounds there was
an immense crowd, composed of
people from the city and the country.
The Chickasha band entertained
the people with selections through
out the day and added to its fame.
John w. Duff was the master of
ceremonies,a part which he played
very ably. Judge J.T Dickerson
spoke in the forenoon. He dis

which had his warmest endorse
ment and urged every workingman
to affiliate with a union in order
to better his own condition and

CHURCH IS BEAUTIFIED
Presbyterians Worshipped Sunday in
their Pretty Edifiee-WOrk Of
Mrs. Bird.

Persons not accustomed to go
ing to the Presbyterian church and
who were not aware of the trans
formation that has been taking
place in the building during the
past few weeks, were not quit sure
that they had reached the right
place when they went to church
Sunday. So wonderful a change
has the building undergone and so
beautiful has it been made, that
it is scarcely recognized as the old
church. The interior has been
handsomely re-papered and painted
and the exterior has also been
given a new dress, making the
whole as pretty little church as
can be found anywhere.
To Mrs. S. w. Bird must be
given the credit for undertaking
and carrying out this enterprise
and the congregation and friends
of the church generously seconded
and supported her in her efforts.
Rev. Fait, the pastor preached
an excellent sermon to large con-
gregation Sunday andabout twelve
new members were received into
the church.
