DISAPPOINTED coNFEDERATEs
Escesaive Railroad Rates VIII Cause
Many to stay at Home.

The expectancy of many old ex-
confederate soldiers from the In
dian Territory, to enjoy visit to
the Dallas Fair on reunion day,
has been blasted by the mandate
of the railroad people who refuse
to give a rate in keeping with
other excursions during the season.
The rate asked for was So or So so
for the round trip. Ardmore to
Dallas. If such a rate could have
been secured, at least 500 people
from Ardmore and the surround
ing country would have taken in
the sights at Dallas on Confederate
Day. But since their ultimatum
sets forth 81. 10 as the rate, it is
doubtful if even so of our people
take advantage of it, and they will
do just right to spurn the offer. "
1t is only very recently that an
excursion left here for Galveston
and return, the rate for which was
only $500. Nor have we forgot.
ton the rate of ST. Cleburne to the
Canon and return. Nor the four
bit rate accorded colored citizens
Gainesville to Ardmore and return
but no such figures ever have beer
attained by Ardmore people OF
such occasions.
The railroad people are certainl!
very Indifferent to the needs o.
demands of our people both as t.
transportation and freight rates
and while we are in poor condition
to help ourselves, we certainl!
have the consoling satisfaction O.
knowing that by staying at home
we will not be helping the railroad
people.

A BUSINESS MEETING.
For the Permanent OrasnizatIon of a
Commercial Club.

(OmmCfGl6t (tuDs
A goodly number of representa-
tive business men of our city met
at the United States court house
Friday night, their purpose being
the establishment of a commercial
club with a permanent organiza-
ton, for the benefit of Ardmore
and the surrounding community.
Sidney Suggs was called upon to
state the object of the meeting,
which he did briefly, setting forth
the advantages that would arise
from such an organization, not
alone to the business interests of
our city, but also to the country.
DIR. Wolverton was the next
speaker. He said the establish
ment of a Commercial Club on
permanent basis was necessary to
the growth and welfare of every
town, and they existed all oyer the
land. The fragments of Ardmore's
former Commercial Club have been
hard to get together this season,
he said, consequently the work on
the roads around Ardmore has not
been attended to as it should have
been. He believed that perma-
nent organization of this club
would do good, and to that end
moved that Sidney Suggs be elected
temporary chairman, which was
done.
J. A. Bivens was elected tempo
rary secretary.
1t was then stated that owing to
misunderstanding a great many
who otherwise intended being pres
ent had remained away, and in or
der to allow every one who de-
sired. a privilege of being present,
it was agreed that the matter of
permanent organization be post
poned until Monday night at 8
clock, at the United States court
house.
To the end that every business
man and property holder in Ard
more be asked to attain member
ship in this club, Messrs. Frank
Frensley, j. w. Banks, A. M
Burch, Sig Simon and G. NJ.
Campbell were appointed a COM
mittee on permanent organization
The following were also ap-
pointed a committee on bylaws
and constitution: A J. Wolver-
ton, d. T. Nisbett, j. A. Biyens,
j. B. Spragins and W. O. Duston
/ These committees were instructed
! to have their reports ready for the
meeting on Monday night.
The various committeeman re-
Gently appointed on road inspec-
tion rendered some interesting re-
ports, and the meeting adjourned.
