A meeting of the Road and
Bridge committee was held at the
city hall last evening and reports
were read from the various com
mittees appointed to inspect the
roads. The Woodford and Spring

cost to repair these roads, without
a bridge across Caddo near Spring
er, would be $40. The Berwyn
committee want 1925 to repair
road, and the Dixie and Healdton
roads require 500.
I. j. Dulaney and j. b. Fulton
o. Cornish and Hewitt were pres

Hewitt would add $25, this sum to
be expended on the road from
Hewitt to Lone Grove.
Mr.. Suggs was instructed to APP
point a committee to go over the
Durwood and Mcmillan roads, and
the other road committee asked for
further time to report.

GOOD ROADS. BETTER BRIDdEsi

Wisdom on the Subject.

Wisdom on the Subject.
Communicated
AS the ARDMoREITE reaches the
most as well as the best class OF
the farmers of this country and all
the country adjoining Ardmore,
would a few thoughts anent the
repairing of roads come amissl 1t
might open up line of thought
and action that would benefit all.
Inasmuch as the Commercial
Club of Ardmore has been taking
action would it not be well for the
farmers and in fact all in the coun'
try TO act in concert with them.
The Commercial Club proposes
to raise money, furnish the lumber
and nails etc, to do the work
Now why should we not meet them
on half way ground and do the
hauling aud the worki Why not
let each community set a day to
meet, and act in concert with Ar6l
more. Now is an idle time with
all, a few days work from each one
would not be missed. Tears and
wagons are idle now FOR while,
let us devote that time on the
roads. And going to town will
then be a pleasure, as the roads
can be made first class if we only
try. Suggestions from every body
would be of interest, talk it NJ
aud then work it out.
And we would like to see a list
Of the merchants giving to the
work, with the amounts, then as
they give, in like proportion give
our trade.
Without the farmer ArdmolC
would be a dull town. Without
Ardmore the farmer would market
his crop at a great loss. Each
needs the other, then let us stii
ourselves, and not be outdone by
the city of Ardmore, but each dc
his part and no one will miss the
time, and we can make the roads
the best if we will. And then ask
the L. S. officials to see that they
are kept open, to open gates takes
time and time is money.
Come ont let us hear from all, in
council there is strength, in unity,
power. COUNTRY JAKE.

HORSE THEE CAPTURED.
A Lively lime Was Had at Dexter
Last Sunday.

~ Lively tln'C was tldu at DCNtct
Last Sunday.
Saturday night two men, one
giving the name of e. 5. Dixon
aud the other that Of Milton Oliver,
struck camp near Dexter. They
had in their possession three mules
two mares with colts and a black
horse. Constable Nate Saunders
and other citizens of Dexter motto
ed them and viewed them with
suspicion. Yesterday morning the
men broke camp and instead OF
passing through town made it a
point to go around. This little ma
neuyer, together with other feat
ures, all the more aroused and
strengthened suspicion. There
fore they were followed by the con-
stable and one or two others and
arrested yesterday morning at 10
O'Clock about eight miles south
of Dexter and were taken back
there. Dickson said he had been
TO the new country" to register
and on his return came up with
Oliver and the horses and that be
was employed by Oliver for the
consideration OF 81 a day to help
drive the horses to Dallas, near
which place Dickson says is his
home. The opinion of the officer
is that Dickson's story is true.
Oliver was looked upon as not
being straight and was handcuffcd
aud John Saunders was placed
over him as guard. At > O'Clock
in the afternoon Oliver by a dex-
ferrous movement, ana while at
John Saunders residence in the
suburbs of town, ierked the guards
pistol from the scabbqrd. Saunders
knocked the prisoner down aud as
he arose the prisoner leveled his
pistol and told Saunders to hands
off Then he turned and made
for a noted thicket a short distance
away and which he entered. Ia
the meantime the alarm was given
and the citizens Of the town turned
out Ell masse to help recapture the
fleeing man, who was still wearing
the shackles. The thicket was
surrounded and Constable Nate
Saunders, DR.. Cunningham, Riley
Deacon, T.. S. Collins and John
Saunders went through the brush
in quest of the refuge They soon
came upon him and, contrary to
their expectations, recaptured him
without trouble. Both men were
brought to the city, arriving here
this morning before daylight,
When rearrested, Oliver, the
constable says, admitted that they
had the right man, and said that
he Lad stolen the horses ten miles
south of Chickasha. Gainesville

Because man is growing old he need not be an invalid. Old age isn't a dis ease. A man at sixty slould be well. and many at seventy are as well as ever in their lives.
 But as age comes on the blood needs to be rid of rhegmatism and the mus cles of neurallgla; the nerves need feeding and the brain nourishment. Paine's celery compound is food for the brain and nerves It builds up the strength of the body. The saddest ignorance IS for a sick person. not to know the remedy that will make him we'll Fortunately few people have failed to hear of the remarkable cures from the use of Paine's celery com pound
 For rheumatism. neuralgia. impure b.Cod, nervous diseases and kindred troubles it is positive cure.

AN ARISTOCRATIC PRISON.
Institution in France for the Care of
 Young Rich Offenders.

Under the innocent looking title La Malson Paternelle" there exists in France what might be briefly desig- mated a3 an authorized aristocratic prison for juvenile offenders. It was founded by legal luminary. NJ. De Metz. man deeply interested in the training and welfare of tho young, with view to check the growing spirit of lnsubordlnation to authority. both at home and at school, which had become specially marked in the highest ranks of society in France.
 One of the most. salutary elements in the scheme of this institution is the ab- solute secrecy which is maintained in
