Big Grader Now on South Side OF
Main Street.

w. A. Shippey is pushing his
work on the Choctaw. Oklahoma &
Gulf road, and says he will have
his contract finished by the first of
January. He has been putting in
some effectual work for the past
month filing in the low place at
the foot of Broadway and Paradise
alley. The dirt he has been using
for this purpose was secured from
the cut on the hill just north.
Yesterday Mr.. Shippey put a
great many of his teams and some
ploughs to work on the south side
of Main, and tomorrow the big
grader will be transferred to that
side, and work from there south
will be pushed to completion.
Mr. Shippey received letter a
few days ago from the road Off
cials asking him to push his work
as fast as possible. The first of
March will no doubt witness trains
running from Ardmore to Harts-
horn. Let the good work go on.
The city calaboose has been
thoroughly renovated, the blank
cts taken out and given a good
summing, and everything about it
now is as sweet as a peach. 1t
would really be pleasure for one
to stay in it awhile.
