The Times Is the only daily paper
in Indian Territory that refuses to
take advertising matter on its hrst
page. This Is because the Times be
iieves in making a better paper and
more readers for the advertising that

This is plan being adopted by the
better class of newspapers all over

The Ardmoreite congratulates the
TiPes most heartily. 1t is an end
sought after most urgently by the
Ardmoreite. but until existing con
tracts expire the ads on our first page

The funeral of the late Mrs. ]. E.
Kirk was held this morning at 10
o'clock from the M. E. church. It
was a cold, wet morning but not
withstanding the inclement weather
the large M. E. church was filled
with friends of the deceased, who
met to pay their last tribute of res
pect to their late friend and neigh
Dor. The funeral sermon was
PREACHED by Rev. II. Barton
Bowden, pastor ofthe NJ. E. church
and was listented to with marked
attention. The music was sweet
and appropriate and added much
to the solemnitY of the occasion.

COUNCIL
ORGANIZES.
And Elects New City Officers. But Two
Changes. New City Attorney and
New Water Commissioner.

4 will no doubt give entire satisfac
tlon. He Is we'll acquainted with
the charter OF the city, IS careful In
giving his opinions and If the
council will consult him and then
follow out his instructions they will
not 60 far away.
Mr.. W.F.Rice retains the position
at the head of the street department.
The excellent condition of our
streets, commended upon favorably
by every visitor to our city, tells of
the efficiency Ct this department.
That the future will be as the past,
goes with out saying, and we will
have good, clean streets again for
another year.
For health officer. DR.. V. H. Dye
was the lucky man. DR.. Dye ap-
pears In public Office tor the first
time with a whole City full of
friends and admirers. No young
man has ever gained greater foot
hold in public esteem and conf
dence In the same length Of time
1t Is needless to say that the ap.
polntment will be popular one,
and that the doctor will discharge
the duties of the position in man
ner perfectly satisfactory to the
city government aud for the best
interests of the people
The janitor OF the city building
remains the same His services in
the past were evidently satisfactory
to the occupants of the city build
Ing, and they did not desire any
change. This vote of confidence
will doubtless resu t In the broom
ano brush being even more dlllgent
until the city property will shine
with the vigorous administration of
the head of this department.
The police force Is the same. 1t
ought to be. 1t Is the best force
along the river. Some few people
seem to think that there should
have been a change, but when
pressed for a reason, the one given
will either not hold good or Is based
upon something outside Of their
duties We have a quite orderly
town. We have fewer crooks and
thugs than any other town of Its
size In the whole country. Life aud
limb and property are safe. The
officials do not seek to make
trouble for the citizens, as did some
of their successors by an over dill.
igence In Office. but they do quell
any trouble whenever 1t comes
their way.
The people will endorse the
council In retaining intact the pres
ent efficient police force.
Now for the future. Let not the
mistakes of the past, the regret for
the present unfortunate condition.
nor the fear of some disapproval
prevent a progressive administra-
ton. Sistersville Is bound to move
forward this year; let the city gov
ernment set the pace.
