The protracted meeting OF the
Christian church is growing in in
terest and attendance.
The subject last night was
Some Things that Save. y Bro.
Marshall showed from the bible
that there is a divine and a human
side to our salvation. Gods part
consists of grace, blood of Jesus
and the gospel. Our part. preach
ing, faith, repentance, calling, con-
fession, and baptism-for admit
tauce into the kingdom of Christ
this to be followed by consistent
christian life.
The speaker pointed out the folly
of trusting to any one thing for
salvation and insisted on trusting
in Christ and obeying all Of his
commandments in order to claim
the promise of eternal life. Most
excellent attention was given by
the audience throughout the entire
discourse.
The solo by Bro. Boyer was well
received. He is also an excellent
leader of song and the music rem
dered by the choir, assisted by the
congregation was splendid.
Sermon subject for tonight,
Ten Thousand People Convert
ed" You are invited to attend.

Ardm0re's WaterWOrkS Q@Gsti0u.
Editor Ardmoreite.
/ will offer a fey suggestions on
the question of waterworks for
Ardmore as it seems that this
much needed addition to our city.
has for some cause been lost sight
Of.
The all absorbing question of
municipal ownership has, so far,
shut out all attempts to secure the
so much needed water supply from
an other source. | will admit that
no city candidate could be elected
from the platfoCm Of corporation
ownership of waterworks, aud
hence is very unpopular. Why
should Ardmore own her water
works? The would-be popular
man says, oh! its better for the
city. Why not Ardmore own her
own ice plant. her -four. mills her
gins, her lumber yards, cotton mills
or any other Enterprise which
seeks investment in the city.
Away with such greedy grasping
ideas and give us water and plenty
of it, though it does have to be
filtered through a corporation as
some express it. That corporation
would then be property holders
and tax payers and strong safe
guard against low priced prop
erty. Compare Ardmore with
Waxahachie, Tex, a city Of nearer
our own population than any other
| think of at present. She owns
her waterworks, such as she has,
and l am told by citizen of that
town who is plumber by trade,
that the demand is about double
the supply of water and that Wax
ahachie can't issue any more bonds.
Now what-stand still with tied
hand and see the folly of munich
pal ownership of waterworks
while you are paying interest on
your bonds I say give us a water
works company and turn this bust
ness in their hands they can do the
work; they will do it, and they take
the risk of finding and providing
the water: they take the risk oi
this town making a city; they
don't have to have every bodies
ideas; they don't have to pass il
to the second and third reading
then divide mp and loose the mo
ton. Get out of the way with
your old municipal stuff, and let
US have water then we will have
some inducements to offer to othel
great enterprises that seek invest
ment in the west, which woulC
give employment to labor an(
value to property, the tax OF
which would almost pay the city.
annual water bill.
l for one, under existing circum
stances, whether we can ISSUE
bonds or not stand in favor of E
waterworks company from home
or abroad so they have got money
to invest in this most essential EN-
| terprise.
Respectfully.

The Chief Replies.

Editor Ardmoreite.
In the Daily ARDMoREITE of
Tuesday, June IL. there appears
an article headed "Marcum-
Hutchings Story" purporting to
be an interview between the two
gentleman named and a represent
ative Of your paper. A portion Of
the interview contains the words,
The Ardmore fre department
kept up a noise with whistles that
drowned the sound of any ones
voice and no Marcum man could
be heard"
wish to state right here that
the gentleman who made the state
ment wilfully and maliciously lied.
There is not a word of truth in it.
Our engines were not out there and
1.-THE fremen did not have any
whistles. | wish to state further
that the Ardmore fire department
is composed of a body of young
gentlemen who love and respect
womanhood, who would spurn to
do an act offensive to their sense
of honor and respect. Would that
we could say as much of a number
of those who came to the conven-
ton here with pistols in their
pockets and an over abundant sup
ply of liquor at their command.
wish to say further that our
fire department extended a cordial
invitation to the Marcum bands to
join us in our parade. The answer
why they did not do so is still with
them. ASA HOLMAN,
Chief Ardmore Fire Department.

In the clerks Office today j. A.

ent term of court T. F. and Kate
Shelton secured Judgment against
Dempsey for a certain house and
lot in the city of Ardmore and
damages in the sum of $151 for its

brought in equity to restrain them
from enforcing said judgment and
to cancel deed which the defend
ant, Kate Shelton, holds to the

by this plaintiff.
Another action of more than
ordinary interest is that of the
