Prof. Patty Coming Saturday Night

Nlnltd, Ohld., Jan. IL, l5ll'
Tc Whom 1t May Concern:
This is to certify that the demon
strations given at the auditorium last
night by Prof. Patty were both en-
tertaining and instructive. Many of
our people who went thought that
they were going to hear a lot of dry
stuff, but greatly to their surprise and
pleasure, it was full of instructive and
entertaining facts, yet demonstrated
and explained so that even the small
er children enjoyed the evening.

A dozen other testimonials from
Oklahoma towns and as strong as the
above are in the possession of tht stu
dent committee having charge of this
entertainment. 1t will be the best
treat, from a scientific standpoint,
Ardmore people have had chance
to see in the last two or three years.

EIGHT THOUSAND PEOPLE VISIT SEED
TRAIN BETWEEN ARDMORE AND LINDSAY

The A. & M. College demonstra-
ton train arrived here Wednesday
afternoon on its tour of the Santa
Fe line. Eight thousand people WIS.,
tied the train from Lindsay to Ard
more. Stops were made between
these places at Maysville. Wynne-
wood, Davis, Dougherty and Berwyn.
Berwyn held up the train with a
brass band. More intensive farming
will make the Wichita valley lands
yield four-fold. Doubtless an analysis
of these soils would reveal the fact
that more profitable crops can be
raised supplementary to corn and
cotton. Because these lands appear
to be inexhaustibly fertile is no
reason that rotation of crops should
not be made. Deep plowing and shall
low cultivation is just as essential
here to conserve moisture as else
where. The train will visit Marietta
and Overlook Thursday morning,
and pass to the Frisco at Ardmore
at noon, and will reach Madill in
the afternoon for demonstration lee
lures and educational lecture on
good roads at night. From Madill
the train will tour the Frisco to
Miami, spending next Sunday at Ok
mulgee.
Director Wilson rejoined the train
today, also Hon. r. F.. Wilson, men,
Der of the state board.
Although the train reached Ard
more late in the afternoon, fully
one thousand turned out. Seven
hundred children from the schools
passed through the exhibition car.
The object of the state board of
agriculture and the A. & M. College
in running this train, which is oper-
ated free of cost to the state by
the railroads, is to emphasize the
Importance of better seed and live
stock, and secure a greater produc-
tion by adopting better modes of
farming.
The lecturers accompanying the
train are experienced farmers, ex-
perts in their respective departments
of the agricultural school at Still
water. In bringing the school on
wheels to the farmers of Oklahoma
the state is being repaid doubly
for its investments in agricultural
education. Here is immediate remu-
neration. The slogan of the demon
startion train Is "a million and a
quarter bales of cotton and total
value of farm products for the year
1911 of two hundred millions of dol
lars" From the fact that production
is falling below the increase in pop
ulation farmers may expect high |
range of values.
With good prices and increased |

RAILROAD MEN
DELAYED A DAY
WHEN LANNON'S AUTO WENT IN
TO DITCH HE TRIED TO SEND A
WIRELESS FOR AN AlRSHIP.

+. II. Sutton of Philadelphia and X.
l.. Robertson and Jake l.. Hamon OF
Lawton arrived in Ardmore yesterday.
These gentlemen are promoting the
proposed line of railroad from Ard
more to Lawton and came over the
proposed right of way from Duncan to
Ardmore by auto. \ portion of the
rOad was very rough, their machine
went to the bad and they expected
to arrive here Tuesday at noon, but
instead they spent Tuesday night in
Oil City After arriving here they at
once went to their rooms in the
Wilmington for sleep before meeting
any of the people. When told of the
big meeting Tuesday they expressed
Pleasure with the manner in which
their road is progressing here and
said they hoped to close the contract
in every detail before the end of the
week and they would proceed to
Sherman to see the people of that
city.
At the Wilmington last evening Mr..
Harmon became reminiscent when
he met with bunch of Texans. Il
had as well be the owner of the Glib
son well in Mineral Wells, Texas"
said Mr.. Harmon. 1T was back in
1892 that the owner of the well need
ed some money. | loaned him $500
and in those days real estate mort
cages could not be given so I had a
deed to the well for my money. Soon
after that the owner became further
involved and he offered me the own
ership of the well for $500 more. Well,
didn't make the deal and there is
where I lost $150,00O."
But in politics, Mr.. Hamon was
strong figure in his boyhood days. At
the age of eighteen and before he
could vote himself he lined up the
populist forces in Parker county and
nominated Thad McCracken for sher-
if. The democrats and the pops
were pretty equally divided in Texas
in those days but the right bunch
got behind McCracken and elected
him. Hamon being republican and
his brother being the manager of a
railroad from Weatherford to Mineral
al IN nrat ttAr hnI
news that the railroad and the repub
licans nominated McCracken and his
chances looked bad for a time. But
the rallying point came before the
election and Jake l.. Hamon won his
first political victory before he was
old enough to vote. Now, if he were
to tell how many he has won since
that time, whole book would be re-
quired to tell the story.
Mr. Hamon resided for a number
of years in Parker county and knows
Judge Sam Hays, Milas Lasater, ]. C.
Graham and the other men from
that portion of Texas who have won
a name in the state of Oklahoma
The next time start through this
country and leave the roads,, said Mr..
Hamon, Il will either come jogging
along behind two ponies or | will
order some mans flying machine Why
when I close my eyes | see an inter
hill, or a ditch fifty feet in
depth and can hear the 'roars of the
chauffer."

NEGROES TO co TO AFRICA

st. Louis, Mo-, Aug. 4.-Plans for an
"On to Africa Congress-" to be held
lin this city year hence, August 4,
1912, are now well under way. Ne
groes all over the country have be-
come interested in the congress, which
has for its principal object the coloni-
cation of American colored people in
Africa.
According to Isaac b. Atkinson.
president of the congress, millions of
negroes are anxious to return to the
African fatherland. Such schemes as
have been preached before contem-
plated the forcible expulsion of the
colored people, and they have natur-
ally rebelled. Now that the prospect
i've exodus is in the hands of people
Of their own race, and is matter of
free choice, the negroes are said to be
enthusiastic
Atkinson says he thinks the con-
gress will result in the removal of five
million people from the United States
to Africa This would involve about
one-half of the colored population Of
the country.

CAPT. R. A. bRANTLY DEAD

ed on Fame's Eternal Camp
ing Ground.

Gen. II. B. Stoddard received a tele.
gram yesterday afternoon informing
him of the death of Capt. r. A. Brant-
ley. which occurred yesterday morning
at his home at Somervlle. The news
of his death will bring profound sor.
row to the hearts of many old and
true friends in Bryan and Brazos
county.
Captain Brantley was about seventy
years of age, and was for many years
resident of Bryan All the older citi-
zens here well remember Bob" Brant-
ley, the whole-souled, bg-hearted
friend, citizen and neighbor.
Captain Brantley in the early days
lived at Millican, and when the war
came on enlisted in the army from
that place and was assigned to duty
in Hoods famous Texas brigade, No
drawer soldier ever fought in defense
of the South than Bob" Brantley, and
as color.bearer was exposed to the
very greatest danger on many hard
fought field. At Gettysburg he raised
the flag of his regiment after three
men had fallen under it in quick sue
cession, and though his clothing was
riddled with bullets, he escaped unin-
iured. This flag has been in the pos
session of Hoods Brigade Association,
and at their annual reunions it was
always Captain Brantley's proud priv
ilege to carry it in the parade when
he was able to be present.
Now he, too, has answered the last
roll call and gone on to join his old
comrades. God rest him in peace.

cause the inside of the entire building
has been remodeled and reconstructed,
being entirely devoted to the use of
this, one of Bryan's greatest business
enterprises. The entire first floor has
been made into one of the most COM

PANAMA AND PORTO BELLO|

City of Panama, July 23.-During re-

The Republic of Panama is divided
into provinces and these into NUM-

erses two OF these provinces, Colon

one story, square and whitewashed,
with roofs of red tile, and verandas
in front. The inhabitants are content

are highly cultured.
