city council one week from tonight

apple pie order. "And am going to
have a neat, nice, comfortable, fancy,
flowered rug put down on the floor
in my office-the more the flowers
woven in fabric the better I'll like the
rug. There is no reason why the
mayor Of the city of Chickasha should
not have rug on the floor of his
office. Why, even Governor Williams
