Through the agency OF the Visiting

relief has been given to a woman
who until this morning had suffered
from illness which required an oper-
alton. The woman, the mother of sew
en- children, supports herself through
washing and similar occupations.
When her illness demanded medical
attention, she called upon the visiting
nurse for assistance. 1t was readily
granted. When it was learned that
the serious aspect of the case pointed
to the need of an operation, the
nurse presented the facts in the case
to four physicians, one Of whom was
in attendance on the case at the time.
They consented to operate without
charging for it. This morning the OPP

days ago telling story of the pay
ment of a debt of nearly a half
century's standing. Mrs. Helndon
stated in her letter that some weeks
ago she received a letter addressed
to her husband, who is now dead.
from a man living in western Texas
The writer stated that he owed Mr..
Herndon a bill of long standing,
that the bill was contracted when
Mr.. Herndon was in business at
Weimar, Texas, over forty years
ago. He further said that he did
not know the amount of the bill. but
that he had the money and wanted
to pay it. Mrs. Herndon, who did
not recognize the name appended to
the letter as that of any one she
had ever known, wrote in reply that
her husband had been dead for
over five years and that she did not
know anything of the matter, but
If the party had any idea Of the
amount owing to remit to her what
ever sum he thought just and right.
In few days after dispatching
her reply she received a second
letter from the man, enclosing a
personal check for two hundred and
fifty dollars and saying that If his
memory served him that amount
would about cover the original in
debtedness owing to her husband.

Osition.
The reports of five different en-
gineers, who have gone over this
route for us, and different bank
ing concerns, have only strength
ened the proposition; furthermore,
they know the Rock Island, Frisco
and Santa Fe have to give traffic
whether they wish or not, on ac-
count of the interstate commerce
and short haul rule, which assures
us of this. OF course, in the long
run it is more than probable that
we will have an alliance with some
one Of the trunk lines. which one
that is, | am not at liberty to state
at this time, but I believe that the
people of Ardmore will be more
pleased with the Ardmore, Duncan
and Lawton road than they will be
with any other project presented by
Messrs. Hamon and Ringling.
