ROYAL WELCOME ExTEA DED
BY Mayor Of Chickasha Eloquent Re.
spOnes by the Visitors

For an hour or more this morn
ing Chickasha conceded that Okla
homa City is the whole show,
and the whole city was turned over
bodily to the Trades Excursion
from the hustliig Oklahama metro
polls.
The special bearing a party of
over 100 representative citizens Of
Oklahoma City, members Of the
Chamber OF Commerce and other
organizations, headed by J. M.
Holcomb, president of the Chamber
of Commerce, pulled in at the
Rock Island station at 10 o'clock,
and were met by large delega-
tion Of citizens who proceeded at
once to label them with Chickasha
badges, lest they fall into the hands
of the police, the latter having in
structions not to molest any man
wearing the proper badge.
A process on was at once formed
with the Redmen Band accompany
ing the party, in the lead, and the
crowd marched up Chickasna ave
nue., and while the band was play
ing several selections, the visitors
dispersed among the stores and
banks and got acquainted with
the people. A temporary speak
ing stand was then provided and
Mayor Venable mounted the rous-
trum to speak few words Of well
come. The Mayor assured the
visitors that Cnickasha had no walls
gates or keys and that everything
was open to them. He evoked APP
plause from the visitors by calling
Oklahoma City the greatest city
of the Southwest and acquitted
himself most credilabIy.
Hon. J. G. Leeper who has
many old friends in Chickasha
responded in an eloquent manner,
with plenty of wit thrown in, and
said in ten years Oklahoma City
would be the ST. Louis of South
west and Chickasha the Kansas
City and the Chickasha crowd
cheered.
Hon. ]. NJ. Hclcomb also res
ponded. in a most eloquent and
felicitous manner. 1t was no ac
cident that Chickasha, splendid
city. that she was, was built here
in the midst of this fertile valley.
He predicted great things for the
new state and its cities. Mr.. Hol-
comb is polished and pleasing
speaker and his address was greeted
with generous applause. This end
ed the speaking part of the pro
gram and after more handshaking
and good fellowship the visitors
departed for Anadarko. They go
thence to Lawton and stop in Man
gum tonight and after a I.our Of
the western part Of the territory
will reach Oklahoma City Friday
night.
J. H. Johnston, Secretary Of the
Traffic Association and many other
well known Oklahoma City pushers
were in the party. All in all it
was party, representing the push
and energy that has made Okla
homa City what she is, the wonder
among all cities in the country and
Chickasha's welcome to such
people is always generous and
sincere.

that one hears nothing of great sacrifices made

it is no less benefit to the incipient statesman

All the advantage springing from distinguished
lineage and social station and favorable environ
ment were the birthright of the subject of this
memoir. His grandfather held high office under
Pitt and attained all the eminenees of the peer

ties of knship with the foremost houses of the

politician betrayed inclination for public af

thrown open to him and opportunity Joined with
fortune in beckoning him to the highest places.
Granville George Leveson- Cover was born in
1915, the year of Waterloo. At Eton and at
Christ Church he had the kind OF education
thought necessary to a fashionable youth of the
day, but, his father being Ambassador to Paris
he acquired in addition a knowledge of the
French tongue and doubtless at the same time
vivacity of demeanor that stood him in good
stead. These gifts drew upon him the censure
of a hard-hitting opponent Oord Hardwicke).
who declared him TO be "half a Frenchman
amiable. polite and soft, and his ACCOMPLISH

well be ashamed to possess. and still more to
exhibit in public" 1t is characteristic OF the

In the shade of the piazza at the

THE SUMMER CAMPAIGN is
PLANNED.

PLANNED.
Winter waned and spring charmed
the land into blossom. The city-pent,
as we have intimated, must take this
season largely on faith If one can
find a patch of ground naked of stone
or asphalt one may feel the heart of
the earth beat. But even now the
shop windows are more inspiring. At
least they copy the outer show. Ten
der -hued shirt-waists first push up
their sprouts Of arms through the win
ter furs and woolens, quite as the first
violets out in the woodland thrust
themselves up through the brown car
pct Of leaves. Then every window be-
comes a summery glade of lawn tulle
and chiffon, more lavish of tints,
shades and combinations, indeed, than
ever nature dared to be.
Outside, where the unspoiled earth
begins, the blossoms are clouding the
trees with a mist of pink and white,
and the city dweller knows it from the
bloom and foliage of these same win
dOws
Then it is that the spring get away"

able to obey it, and by those, alike,

mother. Everything will be cold"
