TYRONE SHOWED CLASS IN
ENTERTAINING VISITORS
l. o. o. F. District Association Was
Well Attended and Most

Tyrone was host to the /. o. O. F.
District Association last Saturday
and the way the folks down there
provided entertainment would have
made many larger city envious.
The program of the day started at
o'clock at the M. E. church where
after music by the Tyrone Band, mu-
sic, and readings by local talent, and
an address by an officer of the Okla
homa Grand Lodge, made the after
noon pass swiftly and pleasantly.
Those appearing an the program were
Miss Imogene Cline, Misses Opal and
Grace Bruce, Mrs. Russell Stevens,
Misses Opal and Marie Stalcup, Mrs.
MILFORD A. Dennis, Miss Mary Strick-
land, Mss Lucille Sims, as well as a
dandy male quartet.
At four o'clock the District Associ-
alton Meeting was held and the bust
ness of the Association transacted. At
this meeting Hooker was chosen as
the next meeting place.
Then as the supper hour had ar
rived all were invited to the elegant
new school building where the Tyrone
Rebekahs had prepared banquet.
And it wasn't Just a feed-it was a
banquet. A beef and hog had been
barbecued for the meat and the la
dies had prepared lot of other good
things. Long tables were laid and
every one did ample justice to the
appetizing spread.
Those Rebekahs just hoped around
and were always on hand to see that
everyone was properly and satisfac-
torily filled before leaving the table,
and if they could have heard-the com
pliments expressed they would have
felt well repaid for their effort.
At night the Degree work was eX-
emplified at the NJ. E. church, while
the Rebekah Degree was exemplified
at the l. o. o. F. Hall. Not knowing
the pass word the Democrat reporter
was not permitted to see this, but the
ladies from Liberal say that it was
most pleasingly done, and that the
Tyrone Rebekahs are real entertain
ers.
We gained admission to the church
to see the Oddfellows Degree teams
put on the work and can truthfully |
say that they did it in an exceptional
ly clever manner.
The Guymon, Hooker, and Texhoma
teams competed for honors, the Hook
er team taking first place, Guymon
second and Texhoma third. The Boise
City team failed to show up and Had
W. Lane, the veteran Oddfellow of
this section was called on to get up a
team to handle the work. Had snap
ped into it, used fellows from the diff
ferent towns and if one had not
known it was a picked up team, he
could not have told the difference so
well did they work Had was large
part of the evening. He is favorite
with the fellows because he knows
the work from beginning to end and
can always be relied upon to help out
when he is needed.
After the work the crowd wended
it's way to the. school house where the
Rebekahs were again ready to satisfy
the appetites of the bunch Such n
lunch and such delightful hot coffee !,
were real treat, and when the start
was made for home it was with feel !,
ing that the dav had heen well spent.
A big crowd of Oddfellows and Re-
bekahs went down from Liberal and
all pronounce the entertainment Won
derfullv well carried out to the slight
est detail. There was not a hitch, -ev-
erything moving smoothly during the
afternoon and evening, showing that
the Tyrone Oddfellows and Rebekahs
are live bunch and good planners.
The Tyrone Band made some good
music during the afternoon and the
dinner and was fully appreciated.
