STATE SINGING CONVENTION
HELD SUNDAY At AOA|R

Adair, Okla, May 15.-(Special.) -
THE State Singing Convention of the
sstate of Oklahoma closed its second an
nual session here last evening, after
a three days session.
It was one of the grandest conyen-
tions ever held in our little town and
was attended by delegates from all
parts of the state, and a few from adj
Joining states. This being its second
year the society is yet in its infancy
but those who attended know that it
is destined to become one of the lead
ing institutions of the state.
~ Sever before was there so many
noted singers brought together in the
new state under single roof, and it
is hardly probable that there was any
roof left on the church in which they
met for it seemed many times tha-
they were going to lift the roof from
,off the house singing the good old
songs of Zion, and as one of the dele
gates expressed it, 'Any man who
would not get enthused from hearing
those songs would never get to heaven
any way"
Y Adair is glad that she has had the
opportunity of entertaining so many
Christian people and the latch string
ihat has been hanging on the outside
Gor the past three days will always b;
sound on the outside for them at anl
and all times to come.

REVIVED At COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETING

Another step toward the ultimate
transformation Of the vacant area
north of the O.-W. r. & y. depot in

cial association when Secretary Keefe
was instructed by vote to cooperate
with the Civic club. the city authori-
ties and the railroad in bringing that
desirable end about.

Cussion by the secretary himself

w. Bollons, superintendent of the
railroad company which owns the
land, in which that official announc-
ed the willingness of his company to
lease the land necessary to the city
for n park and to move such section
houses now on it.
Mayor Murphy spoke in favor Of
the movement started by the ladies of
the Civic club and declared the city
council is much interested in seCur-
ing the park. He suggested that it is
important to secure a lease on the
grounds for a definite period before
expending money or energy on the
project and, in accordance with this
suggestion, Secretary Keefe will i'm
mediately ascertain for how many
years the railroad company will give
lease on the ground.
