This is a great and beautiful subject
and will be treated very philosophy

tions from the Question Box" will
receive attention: "Why don't the
Catholic Clergy marry?"- "supposing
the Pope of Rome would head a. Span
ish army and come to fight the U. S.
what would Catholics do?'

Our Telephone Connection.

The inland villages are being
brought in close proximity to the
railroad towns by the net of tele
phone wires that are fast covering
the territory. We are in talking
distance of Lone Grove, Keller and
Healdton on the west. while num-
ber of towns on the east have
phones, among which are Wilson,
Mcmillan, Raysville, Oakland,
Mannsville, Ravia, Durwood, Pro-
vence and Tishomingo. The lat
ter place is connected with Deni-
son, Tex, and the intervening
towns. Tishomingo is a dividing
point between Denison and Ard
more and it requires double the
pay to talk from here to a point
beyond Tishomingo than it does to
a point this side.
The line about to be completed
from here to Gainesville by the
Bell Telephone company will be
the best constructed in the Terri
tory and will be quite a contrast to
the line attempted some years ago,
when it had no protection by char
ter and the Indians cut down the
poles

w. a Gillian began business in
ArdmOre two years ago with a
small stock of fresh meats and gro
ceries. His business grew from
the first and he soon enjoyed the
trade and merited the confidence of
a wide circle of customers. Two
months ago he and w. G. Scott
mutually agreed to become part
ners in the same business under
the firm name of Gillian & Scott.
They now have a stock of goods
worth $l5O0.00 and keep the best
of everything in their line. They
have won success in business by
giving their best attention to the
wishes of every customer, and
every person trading at their store
feels that he has in return goods
worth his money.

Mr.. and Mrs. Porter Staples ar
ranged a Christmas tree at their
home yesterday afternoon and be-
tween 5 and 6 O'Clock about 10
of the children of the neighbor-
hood gathered there. Each one of
them received a suitable present.
All agreed that Mrs. Staples was
the best Santa Claus they eveS
saw. Such thoughtfulness of the
happiness of the children. we are
sure, will not go unrewarded.

Santa Claus Came.


Sig Simon & Bros Santa Claus,
who for the past few days request
ed the children of Ardmore and
vicinity aged 4 to 10 years to cor
respond with him, offering premi-
ums to the little ones for the incest
letter of their own composition
brought his business to a close
yesterday evening.
Mr.. Santa Claus had received 85
letters from just that many sweet
little boys and girls.
The old gentleman appointed
Col. Sidney Suggs of the ARD
MoREITE manager of the contest,
who in, turn selected Mesdames III.
FL Pennington, w. o. Duston
and V. A. Niblack as experts and
judges.
Having met at the appointed
hour, the manager and a clerk
opened every letter numbering the
same and clipping therefrom the
signature of the writer, which was
correspondingly numbered and
kept in a large envelope.
The letters as numbered were
then given to the judges, who af-
ter three hours careful delibera-
ton made the awards as they APP
pear below.
This rendered all chances of ia
voritism (although none was ex-
pected) impossible, as none of the
judges knew who had been award
ed the prizes until the work was
finished.
The first prize was awarded
Jimmie Lockwood, a little 5-year-
old girl.
Clyde McCroskey, aged nine
years, was awarded second.
Ford Whitehurst, a 6-year-old
boy, comes in third.
Following this are twelve others
who are each to receive a nice
Christmas box of candy: Myrtle
Lee Frame, Pet Doyle, Kate
Suggs, Clara Lee Mansfield, Ew-
