.ARDMORE SEEMS FAVORED
WITH CONFEDERATE HOME
HERE OLD SOLDIERS WILL BE
AMONG FRIENDS.

Capt. Pulliam. who is one of the
committee TO decide on the location
for the Oklahoma Confederate home,
leaves this evening for Muskogee,
where he will join the other mem
bers OF the committee and will
spend the remainder of the month
in visiting towns that have made
propositions for the home.
The itinerary of the committee is
as follows: Muskogee, 2i-25-26; Has
kell. 27th; Vinita, 2Sth; Claremore,
Goth; Ardmore SOL; S4,.hur, Aug
End.
The committee will spend Sunday
here and will attend tLe meeting OF
the local camp on the first of Aug
ust and will inspect the several
sites that have been offered by Ard
more for the home.
There seems to be prevailing
opinion that Ardmore will be cho-
sen as the location, for several reas-
ons. Although some of the towns
mentioned have made more liberal
offers in the way of ground, one
site proposed In Ardmore seems 10
meet with universal approval, as
the ground is very valuable and is
located in one of the most sanitary
and slightly spots near the city, is in
close proximity to the street railway,
but what seems to have more weight
than anything else is that the old
soldiers here will be among friends.
Ardmore is southern city and
whore there are many veterans who
live here and the sympathy of the
people are with these wearers of
the gray. 1t is up to the citizens of
Ardmore to take good care of the
committee when they reach here
and show them all the courtesies
possible as on their decision will
rest the location of the home, where
$4,000 will be spent within the
next six months.

since the strike last fall, have been

affected and equally satisfactory to
