THE DeKOVEN MALE QUARTETT ranks
among the very few first class Mile Quartets be
fore the American Public today. So well has
this organization become known in the last decade that
few committees are unaware of its high standard or ex
cellence. They are untiring in their efforts to please
and we have no hesitancy in guaranteeing their every
appearance; They make a specialty of singing the old
songs of which we are all so fond and add to this an un
usual variety of entertainment and classical music,
They render the best in the modern quarter music
and in addition to this they offer a program of unusual
variety consisting of musical sketches, water color paint
ings, impersonations and readings, V also cornet and
trombone selections. The DeKoyens can fill a week of
engagements and not repeat a number.

Lost Two Mules Friday Night
- One of the Mf. Boyds, of Ox
ford, had his team of three mules
moving some one out towards Sto
vall and in going down a hill near
Lewis the lead mule stumbled and
fell and broke his neck. It was
dark and the two mules behind had
to be unhitched to get the wagon
off the dead mule. " The mule with
the saddle walked off in the dark
and was not found unti 1 next morn
ing," when , his lifeless body was
found on the ground beneath the
railroad trestle over the old Hicks
pond, j He must" have taken the
railroad near that point on his
way to Oxford and walked off the
trestle and broke his neck also!
.This proved quite a loss to Mr.
Boyd . ; . -
