the Inn being now in full opera

the circular letter is the medium
through which that building is to

prompt answers will enable the man

calling attention to this emergency
the recipients of the circular letter
will appreciate the Importance of an

The possession of the room, and
chairs for the gospel service room
are the two pressing demands, and
the good people surely will not
pass the circular appeal, but will
respond and facilitate immediate
steps.
There will have to be considerable

NOTIFIED OF ILLNESS,
Prof. laRose Tells Patron That Mes
sage Will Be Received-Verified.

Prof LaRose, who has recently To-
Gated in the city, is performing some
wonderful and mysterious work in the
matter of unraveling the mystic twine
of the future, laying bare secrets that
have been concealed by the wrinkles
OF time as it were, and piercing the
clouds in the dim and hazy distance
telling those who want TO know about
what TO expect on the morrow. Many
people have gone to him right here in
Ardmore for advice in matters of bus
mess and otherwise and have profited
thereby. Some have had what was
lost restored to their possession, 9th
ers have been reunited to friends in
a most happy way.
A few days ago o. b. Bartee, who
lives in west Ardmore, went to Prof
LaRose, who told him among other
things that he would receive a letter
telling him of the illness of some of
his near relatives, and true to the
prophecy, he was notified yesterday
that his sister at Cumberland, this
state, was seriously i'll and summoning
him to her bedside at once.
This is only one instance wherein
Prof. LaRose has correctly foretold
future events to those who have Wis
tied him.

7, \. DUNN LIKES
sunny FLORIDA
SAYS MIAMI WILL BE THE LOS
ANGELES OF THE EAST IN
FEW YEARS.

T. NJ. Dunn and wife have returned
from Miami, Florida, where they have
been for sometime, Mr.. Dunn looking
after extensive business that he has
there. He is very enthusiastic of the
future prospects of that city and said
that it is destined to be the Los An,
geles of the eastern coast 1t is a
veritable garden spot, and the orange
fruit farms yield as much as "A thou
sand dollars per acre.
The government is building a deep
water channel to the city at present
and when completed vessels of the
heaviest draft will be able to come
alongside the city wharfs, this will
add to the city's wealth materially as
vessels between Galveston and New
York will make stops for freight and
passengers.
Another thing that Mr.. Dunn be
lieves will add to the value of prop
erty there is the fact that the Ever
glades are being drained and the prod
ucts from these rich farms have to
find a market at Miami.
He states that board and room rent
is very high, room that rents for
ten dollars a month in Ardmore would
readily bring fifteen dollars a week
there He stated that although the
city was small at present he saw a
sixty foot front lot somewhat removed
from the business center, sell for six
teen thousand dollars.
Mr.. Dunn is smitten with Miami and
says it is bound to be metropolis.

MER DISEASES HAS ARDMORE
NITS GRASP.

The fever has hit, and hit good and

There never was time in the his.
tory of the city when one could walk
down the streets and have staid old
business or professional men rush out
of shops and offices and remark: Say
what was the score in today's game?
And did we VIM" But that is the con-
dition that exists IN the city today, the
victory of the local bunch piloted by
Rogers over what was believed to be
the invincibes of Wichita Falls who
have been eating up the league yes
terday and the enthusiastic meeting Cf
loyal supporters held at the district
court room last night. has set the city
baseball crazy, and if one wants to
match a scrap or an argument, all
that is necessary is to intimate that
we haven't the fastest bunch Of ath-
letes in the OF league.
The local management has been
handicapped in many ways and have
done remarkably well to get the team
started at all, but they perseyered,
hoping almost against hope that when
the time comes that the citizens would
show their public spirit and come to
the front.
The crisis came but not before il
was expected, and when the call went
forth, the loyal rooters responded and
the horizon today is clear, Ardmore
has a firm berth in the OF league and
it is a safe proposition that the team
will finish as good as one two three,

with the pennant is the hope of the To-
cal bugs"
