bilitY of sud den showers on the 7th, fol-
lowed by unsettled weather on the ssth,
9th and 10th. As we approach the 14th
the temperature will again drop slightly,
yet the 18th or night of the 18th is the
probable time for this change, which
will be marked BY the wind shifting rap

-
There are ball players and again there

talking the game to be played at the
fair grounds next Sunday afternoon will
be the warmsst exhibition of.ball play
ing Of the kind e4er seen in this CITY.
The Fats and Leans will meet inswhat
i It cannot exactly be called mortal.
combat will at least be decidedly hot
skirmlsh and will certainly develop more
fun than q circus. The proceeds Of the
game will go to the book fund Of the.
public library, and il is very much to-
the credit Of the gentlemen who have.
30. kindly consented to fight, perhaps to
bleed, and certainly to die on bases in
many instances, for this most worthy
object.
A majority Of the voters of the city
having decided that recently q pub
lie library and reading room was
not needed, it becomes necessary to
adopt some other plan for the support
of an institution the lack of which is q
disgrace to any city. With this IN view
friends of the library have ,,r...nged the
game OF ball referred to in which upon
the one side will be arrayed the ayerdu-
pOis and skill of nine of our most weigh
ty business men as against an equal num-
Der of gentlemen of lesser weight and
perhaps greater agility upon the other.
At the present time it is absolutely
impossible to state. how many innings
will be played, but the chances are tina,
the patrons of the game will stand it as
long as the players. The management
promises that nothing will be done to
offend the most fastidious, the umpires
will be armed with gatling guns but the
players will not 5e permitted to shoot
of any thing but their mouths, and
everything possible will be done to see
that every ticket purchaser gets The
worth Of his money. A sympathizipg
hardware dealer has signi6ed his will:
linlggness to donate supply Of oorkscrews
with which the players may draw their
, :o5ireath II the day be warmer than usual
and we feel justified in saying that this,
with other little acts of kindness, will
relieve the management from any Charge
of cruelty to the tender youngsters who
will do the work. p.
The admission fee will be the small
| sum Of IS cents and it is to be Hoped
that a large sum will be realized.

profeted It's services for the occasion
and will be in attendance during the

enterprise is of the most modern
type and is, year by year, i'm. d.
proved and added to. The mill
has capacity of eighty tons of
cotton seed per day and is the
largest mill of this kind north
of Fort Worth, Texas.
The average run of the ma
chinery is from four to five
months each season.
Aside from the oil which is all
shipped out of the Territory,
tons okmeal and hulls is fed to
cattle. In connection with the
mill, the company feed on an
average 1000 head>of their own
stock annually. Apart from this
they also furnish many smaller
feeders and are now furnishing
feed for something over 1000
head belonging to other parties.
The Ardmore Oil Mills have
the distinction of being the first
enterprise in the South to ex-
port live cattle fed exclusively
on the product of the mill. The
venture was a successful one and
three years ago 400 head of su-
perior cattle were shipped on
the hoof to Liverpool, England.
Four years ago this same mill
shipped forty cars of cattle di-
rect to New York City. 1t is
therefore apparent that the cat
tie industry of this firm is by no
means a secondary feature. Mr..
w. r. Moore, the general man
ager here informs us that he
has now 1000 head of the finest
cattle he ever handled, which
will be placed on the market
after the holidays.
Coal is used in the mammoth
furnaces of the plant, and the
concern manufactures its own
electricity for lighting purposes.
The mill, warerOoms, sheds and
oil tanks cover an area of five
acres and has a solid frontage of
600 feet on the Santa Fe rail-
road.

THE PALMER GIN.

ARDMORE suffered a severe
loss on the morning of Sunday,
December 8. by the destruction
of Jake Palmer's gin. This gin
was doing an immense business,
was strictly a standard square
bale gin with a daily capacity of
eighty bales. 1t was fitted up
with all modern appliances for
speedy work, had eight seventy
saw gin stands (Smith system)
and four revolving presses, and
gave employment to fifteen men.
Its yearly output averaged 5000
bales. Two years ago this gin
put up 5769. Mr.. Palmer esti-
mated his loss the other day at
SIS, 900.
This was one of Ardmore s old
landmarks, a gin which had its
origin in 1888. At that time a
small traction engine used in the
wheat fields in summer, furnish
ed the power, and the gin stand
used at that time was a second
hand affair of the Sing'Sing Hall
pattern. While the loss to Ard
more by the destruction of this
plant is great, it is felt keener
by the owner, but being a man
of nerve and backbone, we feel
safe in saying that by the time
King Cotton pays US his next
annual visit, he will find Jake
Palmer at the old stand better
equipped than ever for business.

seen covered by the bales of the
tieecy staple is sight not soon
forgotten.
A striking feature in connec-
ton with this enterprise is it's
fire protection. A large elevated
tank containing thousands of
gallons of water, occupies a CEN
tral position over an inexhaust-
ible well. Hydrants are all over
the premises and plentiful sup
ply of hose renders fire protec-
ton complete.
During the busy season a scene
of life and activity is exhibited
here which cannot be witnessed
at any other institution in the
country.
