AWAIT RETURN OF TOWN PLAT.
The Kansas Commissioner Not Vet
fiere-Burney Not Re-instated.


here-Burney Not Re-instated
The people OF Ardmore are
awaiting the return of the plat Of
the town from Washington. and it
is hoped that 1t will meet with the
approval Of the secretary Of the in
terror. The keys to the Office
were turned over - the secretary,
Nj. " 3. Burney. on the 25th of
last month, and he is ths only
member of the commission or force
here.
The newly appointed Kansas
man has not arrived yet.
For some reason that MIR. Bur
ney was furloughed last February
and has never been re-insta,ed,
some-of our people believe that the
Indian government will make APP
plication to Judge Townsend for
an injunction against the commits
sion to enJoin them from selling
the townslte. Mr.. Burney being
the Indian representative on the
commission and having been fur
loughed by the secretary of the in
terror. had nothing to do with the
plating of the town which is a vi.
olation Of the Atcka agreement,
which provides for an Indian APP
pointee on the commission.
We have it from good authority
that 1r' Burney will be re-insiated
before the appraisement and sale
of our town lots and we do not ap.
prehend any trouble or delay in
securing titles. The Chickasaw
nation will remunerate Mr.. Burney
for his services from February Ia,
the date Of his furlough. until the
date Of his Reinstatement on tie
commission.
If the Indian governors refuse
to sign the transfers, msndamus
proceedings will be brought
against them in the United States
courts, and they will likely ot
forced to deed away the townsites

that Smiths wife was the princi-
pal person who had taken his
goods.
In the meantime Davenport had

ARDMoRE CAPITAL.
Has Undertaken a Plan TO Establish
System Of Waterworks.

a. Walcott, j. X. Pennington
and |, Il. Best are at work today
organizing a company 10 be known
as the Ardmore Artesian Water
company.
1t is their intention now to have
a capital OF $4,000 divided into
400 shares at $25 each. Shares
are being rapidly taken and when
the stock is sold the city couucil
will be asked for a franchise to
establish waterworks system aud
the company will incorporate under
the laws that apply to the Indian
Territory. The promoters Of the
enterprise believe that artesian
water can be gotten here and that
a series Of wells will give Ardmore
a bountiful supply Of water.
Ii is not known yet in what
portion of the town they will sink
a test well but doubtless they will
employ an expert FIRST and get his
ideas as to the most available por-
ton.
We rejoice to see the move.
Under the existing state of affairs
1t is difficult to induce capital to
lay piping for miles across the
country that belongs to no in.
diyidual but to the nation in com
mon and as a perfectly safe invest.
ment the plan OF giving the city
artesian water is at this time the
most feasible plan for waterworks.

Editor MERIDIoNAt:
Thought maybe you and some Of
my Abbeville friends would like to
know where l am and what doing.
So you can say to them all that I am
clean rice weigher with Mutual Rice
Mill, Limited, and get 1920 per
fifteen hours. No Abbeville boys
can get that good wages, and I ain
always smiling at my good luck.
Eli Wise did his best to get me a
job at the Abbeville Rice Mill but
the manager was afraid that I could
not work on account of my faulty
hearing and not speaking, but | am
thankful to my old friend, Eli Wise.
I never bother any of Mutual Rice
Mill employees or managers and they
are pleased with me. No TROUBLE
WITH THE DUMMY EMPLoYE.
Last Saturday two engines brought
seventy-seven cars loaded with cross
ties and material. The crossties are
being laid this morning and rails will
be put in place by December 1st.
The hands are still working hard and
will soon arrive at the iron bridge at
Abbeville.
Every day a few hundred wagons
loaded with sacks of rice come to
town. The biggest crowds on the
street / ever saw. Farmers will not
finish thrashing before Christmas.

Bright, sunny skies, with just
enough breeze to make one draw
a long breath and drink deeply of
Gods pure air. Dust is the only
thing like ain in Paradise, hat mars
the thing. 1t tries to rain, but all
in vain, only a light drizzle is the
result. Saturday and Sunday there
was heavy white frosts and ice. Cane
and cotton were badly injured, cot
ton being killed, all cane cut and
lying exposed in the fields was frozen
while the cane tops we're all killed,
the canes frosted, and many reports
the bud killed.
