LORD KITCHENER REPORTS.
He Is Pursuing DeWet Doggedly ane
Expects to CAPTURE Him,

London, Jan. 1i.-Perhaps the most
important point in Lord Kitcheners
weekly report, dated Johannesburg
January 13, is the omission of all men
ton of General DeWet, from which it
is deduced the British commander-in-
chief is more than usually hopeful of
effective results from his present effort
to surround DeWet. Since the disaster
at Zeefontein strong British columns
have been persistently doggng De-
Vets forces, while armed trains pre-
vented him crossing the railroad line
and forcing him northward. Kitchener
is supplying DeWet's pursuers with re-
lays and removements. Lord Kitchener
reports since January 6, twenty Beers
killed, nine wounded, twenty-one cap
tured, and ninety-five surrendered.

To the Ardmofeite:
Springer. |. T., Oct. 25--It is not my
desire to wantonly consume your time.
not merely to assist you in filling space
in your columns. but to direct your at
tention and that Of your readers to the
wants Of our little town, that l write
you.
our little village Is made up of
about 400 or 500 souls, dependent upon
an insufficient number of commercial
enterprises etc, to cater to their wants
and that OF the transients. We are To-
Gated directly at the base of the Ar
buckle mountains. in the most plctur-
esque and fertile portion Of the Chicka-
saw Nation and there is enough land
laid waste each year TO support many
families comfortably And II is a self
evident fact that our people and that
of the home-seekers from afar have
taken some notice Of our country and
its many possibilities. But on account
of the few and incomplete mercantile
establishments, etc, so necessary to
community the prospectors pass us up.
and our own people seem TO become
somewhat discouraged therefrom. Our
people, en- masse, have awakened from
their long lethargic slumber to the
stern fact that we are a portion OF the
b. /. T. and that we do not wish to be
the last in the race Of progression.
We need and want dry goods and
grocery stores, and first-class drug
store and a physician is badly needed
and earnestly desired. There is a
splendid opportunity for both. A gen
eral line of hardware and implements
would do well in our town. A good
hotel would enjoy lucrative patronage.
Even the loQuacious barber is badly
needed and greatly desired
As just mentioned. our people have
begun TO realize that we are in the race
and do not wish TO bring up the rear
and are so demonstrating the fact We
have just completed n nice school
house and have secured the services
of a verv competent master. We are
furnished annually with the ablest re
ligious instructors, and splendid S.l
day schools are held every Sabbath.
Our people are building nice, sub
stantial homes since plating of our ii.
tie town, and within the next few
weeks there will be FIVE new houses
OF no mean dimensions under construc
tion. And last but not least, we hav,
the best equipped gin plant within tn
whole country. with sufficient capacit
to satisfy the farmers within radiu
of many miles Also a sufficient amour
of capital to purchase all the cotto
brought TO them and pay Ardmor
prices for same
Realizing that your paper is th
most widely read of any in the Terr
tory, we earnestly ask that you pul
lish this, that the public may dire,
their attention to us and come and sc
us.
Thanking you in advance for this f
vor, we are.

THE ORANGE BUSINESS
The Reason Why the Last Crop Was
 Slightly Shcrt.

Not much has been said this season about the orange business Of this val Icy this year. but Q. general impression has gone out that it has fallen consider stiy short of the volume last year That is true. but the causes of the shortage are not commonly understood. The growers themselves understand them ana will take pains to see that they dc not occur again. Most people believe that the crop has fallen short because the trees did not have enough water last summer. The result would have been no different if there had been enough water to keep the groves flooded.
 Mr s. II. Uttins, who has charge of the Incleside groves. says that the trouble began the summer before last. There was not enough water then and the late fall found the trees in poor condition. There had rot been proper cultivation to make up for the lack ot water. The trees were so weak that they could not withstand the frosts CT last winter and a full crop could not be started. The growers then learned tor the first time that an orange crop does not depend wholly upon water. or rather that a shortened water supply may be supplemented by intelligent care.
 The supply the past summer has been even shorter than that of the previous summer. but tho groves were thor oughly cultivated and otherwise cared for, so that they entered upon the win ter season in good condition. They were subjected to harder frost than has visited the valley for years, yet they have not been injured in the slightest degree. The foliage has been thinned q little, but there is no condi- ton which will prevent a full crop next
