The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1912-08-29

The boys of Company G who got in
yesterday evening look remarkably
well and hearty from their three
weeks of roughing 1t and soldier life.
They are all busy today putting away
their equipment and getting ready to
get back into civilians garb.
Col A. V. Doak, Capt. w. f. Whit
tington and l. r. Best will go to Pur
cell in the morning to appraise some
lands against which the Santa Fe
railroad company have filed con-
demnation proceedings.
The names Ardmore and Ardmore-
ite are winners. Will Dewitt, the
wholesale cigar dealer and manufac-
turer, says that his cigars bearing
those names are trade getters wher-
ever introduced.
Hester Gotten of Mill Creek, who
graduated from the academic depart
ment of Hargrove College this spring
has returned to take up the college
course of that institution this fall.
He will begin his freshman year in
September and will take full college
course Of four years.
H. p. Nichols has gone to Marietta
where he will place his well drill in
for water, oil or gas, it is to be hoped
that he will get something in the hole
more than he did when he drilled the
deep water well for the Ardmore
waterworks.
Ardmore ranked for years as the
biggest wagon cotton market in the
world Those who are familiar with
the crop conditions all over the coun-

will be sold in this city from wagons
than will be in any other city IN
the world.
The Commercial Club is making
arrangements to begin a publicity
campaign for this section in dead
earnest this fall. Great stacks of lit.
erature, descriptive of southern Ok.
lahoma, particularly of Carter county,
will be mailed out so that the pros
pective home seeker will learn all
about this garden spot of Oklahoma
d. w. Dunn was in the city yes
terday afternoon from Mulkey. Mr.
Dunn reports conditions very good in
his locality. He says that the corr
crop is far beyond the average and
that cotton will average right around
there quarters of bale Ia the acres
some of it will make bale.
V. A. Niblack returned this morn
ing from a visit to his farm near this
city. Mr. Niblack states that he has
a splendid corn crop and says thai
it will average forty bushels to the
lacrd His COTTON, he thinks, will
make from a half to three quarters
| of a bale to the acre.
Too much bad whiskey made an
otherwise peacefully inclined negro

the result that, after sleeping his
jag off in the city Jail last night
the aforesaid negro coughed up five
dollars to the revenue fund of the
city.

tion rendered him by II. f. Foster
to take charge Of the books and ac-
counting department Of the Consum
ers Ice & Cold Storage Co. of EI
Paso, Texas. Mr.. Douglas will leave
Ardmore Saturday afternoon to take
charge of this position. He has made
many friends in Ardmore during his
