Christian Church Revival.

There was an increased interest
in the service last night. Although
it was Monday night, which is
generally an off night in protracted
meetings, the house was comforta-
bly, filled. Rev. Moore preached a
very interesting sermon on the
subject of Christ in Prophecy and
in the Heart" He showed how
completely Christ fulfilled the
prophecies spoken concerning Him
from 400 to 1900 years before He
came. He said that if one should
attempt to blot the name of Christ
from earth he would have to burn
all the Bibles and Testanents, all
religious papers and commentaries,
all text books and libraries, destroy
all the churches and grave stones,
and still the name of Christ would
be enthroned in the hearts of his
followers, and the whole Bible
could be reproduced from the mem
ory of his disciples. Rev. Moore
is very clear. pleasing speaker,
and gives scripture to sustain all
his positions.
The subject tonight will be,
Never Stop" Don't fail to hear
him. It is desired that all the
members be present tonight for the
after meeting.

About school Books.

The board Of directors OF the
public schools has adopted a series
of text books to be used in the
schools. The contract covers
period of three years. This is as
it should be. All cities and all the
states with the fewest exceptions
have a uniform series of text books.
The board will handle the books
during the introduction period of
three months from time school be-
gins. They will be furnished to
the patrons at contract prices,
which is about fifty per cent.
cheaper than they can otherwise be
had. Besides, all old books will be
taken in exchange for new ones of
the same grade; that Is, fourth
reader may be exchanged for
fourth reader, any elementary
arithmetic for an elementary arith-
metic, and so on through the en-
tire list. Twenty FIVE per cent of
the cost of the new book will be
allowed for the old one. This is
done by the board without profit
or compensation in any way. their
purpose being to save the patrons
at least one half the cost of books.
The cost by grades ranges from
10 cents in the first grade TO 50 30
in the seventh grade. If old books
are exchanged the above cost is re-
duced p per cent, making the av
erage cost of books per grade for
the first seven grades about 81 %.

Track to void Detection.
On the me Fning of Monday,
Aug. %, the bbdy of a young lad
was found in a mangled condition
at Davis where he had been run
over by a passing freight train.
The ARDMoRE1TEg gave an account
of this at the time and stated fur
ther that hundreds had viewed the
remains but none were able to
identify the deceased.
The body was buried by the good
reople of that town.
1t seems now that some more
light has been thrown on the mat
ter, and today theARDMoRBITE was
furnished the following informa-
ton;
The body of the young man found
on the railroad track at Davis has
been identified as that of John
Short. who recently visited his
uncle at Dougherty, Mr.. Short

bod
4 careful examination showed
tha a bullet had passed through
de ased's head, leaving the sup
pc ton that the young man had
bt n previously murdered and his
/ ly placed on the railroad track
t cover up the deed.
The young man was known to
in possession of some money
,ior to death but none was found
18th his remains on the railroad
rack.
This information is somewhat
startling and as parties who
ere in his company the day pre-
-ious are we'll known, it may lead
o some clew for the murderer of
the innocent boy.

Wss Not Guilty of Stealing. but his
Friends Josh" Him Much.
Last week ripple of excitement,
for the moment only, was caused
here by the arrest of l.. Johnson,
charged with the theft of a mare
and colt. Not one of Mr.. John
sons friends, and he has many,
believed for a moment that he was
guilty of such an act, and willingly
let the matter rest, knowing that
truth would prevail. The case was
to come up for hearing in the COM
missioner $ court this morning, but
was withdrawn by the presentation
of the following statement from
the parties who entered the prose-
cution:
Ardmore l. T., Sept. 5, 1899.
Mr. l.. Johnson, Ardmore, l. 7.
Dear Sir-After thoroughly in
vestigating the facts connect I'd
with the charge against you for the
theft of one mare and colt, the
property of S. c. Wall. we are sat-
isfed and know the fact to be that
you had no connection with the
taking of the horses, and the charge
preferred against you. and you
was arrested under a misapprehen-
sion of the facts. We know an in
justice was done you by the charge
preferred against you and take
pleasure in unqualiiiedly exonerat-
ing you from all blame or connec-
ton with the matter of taking of
the mare and colt in question.
When the charge was preferred
against you neither of us knew you
at all, and never did know you un-
til this morning. The charge pre-
ferred against you was based upon
representations which we after
wards found out to be false, so far
as you are concerned.
Regretting the fact that we have
been the cause of an injustice be-
ing inflicted upon you, we are,
yours very truly,
S. c. WALL,
