A merry crowd met at the home OF
Doctor and Mrs. Amerson of Milo,
to spend Thanksgiving day. The
usual Thanksgiving dinner was serv-
ed, including the national bird Gran
berries, pumpkin pies, etc. The dark
spirits of the kitchen, including IN
Gle Lewis Mr.. Johnsons guardian,
also enjoyed a Thanksgiving dinner
in their own way. The afternoon
was spent in music, games and a
ramble along the banks of the beauti-
full little stream which flows by Milo
Late in the afternoon the Ardmore
visitors returned home in automobiles
all grateful and happy for the pleas
ant day.
Covers wer laid for DR.. and Mrs
Amerson, Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. john
son. Mr.. and Mrs. Abel ID. Chase,
Mr.. and Mrs. Ben Head, Misses
Maudie, Ezella and Elby Johnson
Frances, and Callie Chase, Messrs..

And may one of those delighted
visitors add just little personal state
-ment to the above, Milo is cui-
tured little country village that lies
twenty four miles northwest of Ard
more in the very center of one or the
most desirable farming sections OF
the country, level, fertile valley
covering miles in extent and broken
only here and there by modestly rls
ing and rolling plateaus which afforo
| ranches of the best grazing for nun
dreds of cattle. The town is only q
| short distance from the famous as
nhalt mines and in many directions
| around NAV be seen the rising der
ricks of the numerous oil wells. The
very basin of the great oil field from
which the wells at Oil City draw is
said to lie Just two miles north Oh
Milo, under one Of the richest anc
most beautiful cotton farms of the
section, this farm is part OF the
area owned by j. w. Johnson whicf
embraces several thousand acres Of
the finest of this farm and rancI
land. The writer has Travelled
through different parts o. the state
but has not seen in all the southern
| section more desirable community
/ that of Milo.

On Wednesday afternoon, NoX. ~,
at Jefferson school, Fourth Waro,
one of the most unique and pleasing
programs that it has been the priv
ilege of the patrons of that school
to hear. was rendered by the pupils
under the direction Of the teachers.
The second and third grade rooms
were thrown together making a very
nice auditorium and with the house
darkened and the beautiful decora-
tions of forest trees and wigwams
made it appear as real Indian vii
lage, as Indian Tales" in the form
of an operetta was the first number
on the program given by the pupils
of the first three grades
Another interesting number was
the play given by the pupils OF the
fourth and fifth grades representing
the Pilgrims and as they landed in
closing with our national
hymn joined in by the entire school.
There were many other splendid
numbers in readings and music and
the glee club where too
much praise can not be given. 1t is
with patience and perseverance that
Misses Hopson and Blank direct the
Glee Club, but It IS a pleasure to
work with boys and girls who re-
spond so beautifully.
Superintendent Richards was there

WILSON'S CAMPAIGN.

Governor Wilson is much cheered
Democratic party for President, by
2O00 letters which he has received
from Republicans pledging him their
| support. We presume that pretty much
all OF these letters are from what
might be called Roosevelt Republicans:
and in so far as they are genuine and
mean what they say, they are elimina
tions from what would otherwise be
the Roosevelt strength.
There is danger, however, in such
letters as these. First, they tend TO
give a Republican tinge to the Wilson
candidacy which will by no means be
relished by conservative Democrats; !;
for these conservative Democrats
would rather support known and
tried man OF moderate views who
strives faithfully TO live up TO the
law and do his duty as President, than
TO take chances on an unknown man
who is shifting around in his views
aud playing for votes, elated at get
ting letters from Republicans, and
| likely 10 shape his policy on lines that
are not Democratic.
Already in tho Democratic ranks
there are fervent protests against the
ridiculous tariff plank in the Demo
cratic platform, which declares il un-
constitutional TO enact tariff laws with
a view 10 protection. Probably half
tho Democratic party at least would
reject this plank with contempt, for a
declaration that II is unconstitutional
