Alarming smaIIpox News.

There is alarming news Of small
pox in the Creek nation. South
Canadian, Eufaula, Checotah and
Muscogee on the Missouri, Kansas
& Texas railways are reported as
having quarantined against all
places known to be in communica-
ton with the infected districts,
should the disease spread to the
railroad towns it will paralize the
traffic and business Of all kinds
and work a hardship on a majority
of the people as supplies Of all
kinds for this section of the coun-
try are purchased abroad.
That long distant telephone now
into Ardmore, connecting that
town with four states. could re-
ceive encouragement to extend
their line to this place, if the com
pany in charge of same would
make an effort in that direction. -

The Masonic Hall.

The Masonic hall in our city is
now thing of beauty. Since its
close call from destruction about
six weeks ago the entire interior of
all the rooms has been thoroughly
renovated and transformed. &. +.
Fraley who had the contract has
done some excellent work. The
ceilings are now of neat wood work
all the wood work has been reno
waited. The walls of the large hall
are papered with a heavy oxbloOd
paper which gives an exceptionally
comfortable appearance to the room
under electric lights. The large
banquet hall and other rooms in
the building are also neatly paper
ed and finished. New electric ap-
pliances have been added which
will greatly enhance the beauty of
work. And altogether Ardmore
Lodge No. 81 may safely be class
ed as having the neatest and best
equipped hall in the Territory.

vast amount of good which would
naturally follow from an encamp-
ment of 1000 or 1000 people
among us for a day or two. You
may not have thought of this be-
fore but it is the whole truth.

SALUTATORY.

Two years ago today the ARD
MoREITE became the property of
the present owner, and during this
time we have made some mistakes.
We have succeeded, however, be-
yond our most sanguine expecta-
tions in more ways than one.
First-The increased circulation,
which now requires five times the
amount of paper which it did at
that time. Next the increase has
compelled us to more than double
our office room, and our machinery,
where in place of one hand press
and one jobber, we now have the
latest power news press, a rapid
folder and three steam power job
presses, mailing machines, etc., in
order to handle the business eXpe-
ditiously. In addition to all of
these labor saving machines We
have more than doubled our work
ing force and are constantly in
creasing the same as necessity
requires.
All this of course has added
greatly to our running expenses,
which at present run something
near So, 900 per year for labor.
This money is paid promptly every
Saturday night and is all spent in
Ardmore. We do not claim that
our money. pluck or energy has
added all this increase of business,
but the many changes that have
taken place in ArdmOre and the
surrounding country and towns
have helped us. You all have en-
couraged US by your liberal sup
port, by your kind expressions and
by your substantial endorsement
of our policy, which, in a word, is
to give the people the news of the
country. We feel that we have
proven to our patrons that neither
time or money has been spared in
securing for our readers the very
latest and most reliable news, and
now since we have added the long
distance telephone to our service
we can promise our readers better
service than ever.
Our job department is complete
in every detail, and we are con-
tinually adding thereto. We pur-
chase our job stock in large guam
titles and obtain the best discounts
for cash.
Our force is busy all the time;
there are no drones or chronic
kickers in the shop
For all favors bestowed in the
past we thank all our friends and
supporters and promise you that
the ARDMOREITE will ever be found
ready to defend the laws, religion
and good morals Of our country Mt
all times.
In conclusion we invite all to
visit our office whenever covenient,
We will be glad to see you.
Respectfully,
SIDNEY SUGGS.
