ings in Schell City, Mo-, and now
resides at 9J2 North Washington
street.

said Mr.. owens. First, | was seek
ing health, and l do believe this
country offers me just what | want;
and second, l believe this is a coun-
try to make money in. These two
reasons l think Justify me in leay-
ing the older state and moving here "
Mr.. Owens has been lumber deal
er and contractor. He is a man of
some means and brought capital with
him to invest in this city and county
On the same day that Mr.. Owens
held his sale in Missouri, his brother
in another portion of the state held
his sale, and neither knew of the
intention of the other; but when
Mr.. Owens arrived here and went
to Oil City, there he found mis-
brother, r. C. Owens, putting in
a new lumber yard in that new
city, AMI he is better pleased than
ever, since he finds his brother here.
d. owens will also make some in
vestments in Oil City.

IN WHOLE SOUTH
STATE HOME WILL BE READY
FOR CONFEDERATE VETERANS
ON JUNE I.

Col. r. \. Sneed is here today from
Lawton attending to some matters in
connection with the state confederate
home. Col Snecd says he believes
there are $500 confederate soldiers
in Oklahoma: he believes the home
will have fifty inmates by November.
He does not expect many to make
application to enter during the spring
and summer while the weather is so
agreeable but when the cold days
come many of the unfortunate old
fellows will want to gather under the
protecting roof which the good people
OF Oklahoma have built for them here

upon. Judge Calf has a large number
OF chickens to take to the home and
also has some fine milch COWS and a
good barn and plenty of feed for them.
Captain Simmons is busy with the
orchard and garden and the home be
gins to have the appearance OF solid
comfort for the old soldiers.
No other home in the south it is
stated has the conyeniences of the
Oklahoma confederate home. Hot and
cold water is in every room, baths and
toilets, natural gas heat, electric
lights, brick house, cool in summer
and warm in winter, large orchard
and garden place, which is in fine
state of cultivation. The building has
AZ rooms and every room will be well
furnished and all will be furnished
alike.
The daughters of the state have un-
dertaken to furnish the rooms. The
expense of purchasing the furniture

ter of Daughters at Chickasha gave
; last week a public benefit from which
they netted sum that will furnish

Judge John l.. Gait, who has pre-
sided over every municipal court ever
held in Ardmore, resigned his posi-
ton today and becomes the super
intendent of the State Confederate
Home.
When Ardmore was Incorporated
under the Curtis law in 1908, Judge
Gait was elected mayor. Throughout
his administration he served as Judge
of the city court and fined all the
boys who came before him. When the
city was two years later advanced
to a city of the first class and a
police Judge was elected, he did
not make the race for mayor, but
ran for police judge. He was re.
elected every two years up to the
time the commission -orm OF gov
ernment was voted, and then he was
appointed municipal judge. For thir-
teen years he has served Ardmore
as the judge of its city court and
there was never more popular
Judge anywhere. In his new position
he is as happy a man as there is in
Oklahoma. He loves the cause OF
the confederacy and he loves the
confederate soldier and no place
could have been given him that he
would appreciate so much as the
one whose duties he has assumed as
superintendent of the home.
