The EaQles' Meeting.

The open meeting of the Ardmore
Aerie last night was a grand sue
cess. All who attended enjoyed
themselves hugely and feel today
that they are better birds for hav-
ing been out last night.
There were between seventy-five
and a hundred Eagles, both OF the
home Aerie and visitors in attend
ance. Notwithstanding the large
number there was an abundance OF
pink tea for all and cigars for
everyone to burn.
1t was decided to initiate the class
of fifty that is in waiting at the
regular meeting, July 3.
A great deal of general business
was transacted and number of mat
ters for the good of the order dis
posed of. The gymnasium propo-
sition is receiving the hearty sup
port of all, particularly of the
younger members.
A number of speeches were de-
livered last night by the leaders OF
this aerie and by several of the Wis
itors. 1t will be the effort of the
membership to make ArdmOre the
leading aerie, not only in southern
Oklahoma, but in the entire state.
Worthy president Vaughan feels
good over the interest that is being
manifested by those who care for
the good of the order.

was not thought so near and, COM

to his family.

fled by wire of the serious cond-
tion of her father arrived yesterday

rell, Texas this afternoon, at which
place interment will take place to-
morrow morning. Mrs. Winn. the
