C. N, SHAMROCK
FOR ASSESSOR
A MAN OF PROVEN ABILITY EN-
TIERS THE RACE FOR ASSESSOR
FROM OIL CITY.

No need of taking any chances on
the election of county assessor. A
man of proven ability and of proven
ability for three consecutive years has
entered the race. George Nj. Shar-
rock of Oil City. who is now trustee
of Hewitt Township and who for the
past three years has assessed the
taxes in the township, places himself
before the people for the Office of
county tax assessor. For twenty years
or more Mr.. Shamrock has resided in
what is now Carter county. During
this length of time he has been far
mer, and good one.
IL was said of his township books
that they were the neatest and best
kept set of books that ever went to
the court house. Mr.. SharrOck has
the almost solid support of the people
from his township, which is abund'
ant evidence that he has done his
work there in manner that meets
with the wishes of the people and the
taxpayers.
Mr.. Shamrock is a native Texan. He
is a progressive democrat, he has al
ways been interested in the things
that affected the welfare of the dem
ocratic party and the prosperity Of
his state and county He is young
and active and intelligent and
brCad-guaged man that Carter coun
ty can afford to trust anywhere and
know that what he does will be done
well and to the entire satisfaction of
the people.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.
Business Man Would Convert Sam
mons Lumber Shed Into Auditorium

Business Man Would Convert Sam
mons Lumber Shed Into Auditorium
We publish herewith cOmmunica-
tiOn from David Redfield in which
it is suggested that the Sammons
lumber sheds and the old foundry
buildings be converted into places
of holding large gatherings.
The suggestion is good and time
ly one. The Sammons lumber shed
is particularly adapted to the pur-
poses mentioned, as it is a sub
stantial brick structure and very
commOdiOus. A very small cash
outlay would convert it into splen-
did auditorium. Mr.. Redfield's com
munication follows:
Editor Ardmoreite:
For the purposes of large gath
erings, allow me to suggest the Sam
mons lumber shed, also the old iron
foundry, both cOmmodious and pleas
ant.
