Material Purchased.
The material already purchased is
sufficient to build the line beyond

road will be q trunk line reaching

Shops and Division.
The car shops of the road, the
freight and passenger division point
and the general offices of the road
will be located in Ardmore. The sta
ton which will be built here will
have one story constructed FOR the
purpose of being used as the general
offices of the company.
President Lives Here.
President }. l.. Hamon of the road
has taken UP his residence in Ard j.
more He will remain here and will
personally see to the purchasing of
all supplies, to the paying of the
supply bills, and the contractors and
will push the work as fast as it can
be done.
Ringlng Buying a Home.
Mr.. John Ringling will have resi-
dence in Ardmore. He is now nego-
tiating for a piece Of property at the
corner of G and McLish avenue and
if the purchase is made he will at
once begin the construction of home
upon the property. In case his Ia
vorite site is not purchasable he will
take a second choice and will build
a home here.
Barnum and Bailey Headquarters.
Mr.. Ringing will make no state
ment concerning winter headquarters
for one of his shows being estab-
lished here but it comes from source
that is considered reliable that the
Barnum and Bailey show winter head
quarters will be moved here from
Bridgeport Conn. The Ringing Bros.
show headquarters are in Barabou,
Wis. that is town which these men
have made and they will not likely
interfere with that city in favor of
Ardmore but the winter headquarters
of the Barnum and Bailey shows could
be moved here with great profit on
account of the long winters in New
England.

Purchased Lands.


The fact that Mr. Ringing and his
associates have purchased 10000
acres of land in Carter jefferson and
stephens counties lends color to the
rumOr that show headquarters will
be established here.
Many Good Towns.
A chain of good towns will be built
on the line west. of Ardmore. One
of these towns will DE named for Mr..
John Ringing. 1t is not stated yet

possibly before the completion of the

Sees Opportunity Here.
Mr.. Ringing is a town Gui der as
well as builder of railroads. The
mkre fact that he has acquired prop
erty here, is building horc hire
and that he has purchased twenty
thousand acres Of these lands will in
duce many other capitalists TO come

not go to places where the advan-
tag I are such that cities cannot

porfmity to build n city and he will
unite with this town and lend his
forcas toward building a city here.

stitutionalists at Hidalgo, Mexico, that
the Hazellrigg family held in arrest
there must be set free within twen-
ty-four hours.

that the Neutrality-suspicious., son and

Bigger Than Expected.
When Mr.. Ringing and MIR. Hamon
stated some weeks ago that the road
meant more to Ardmore than the city
knew or expected, it was not known
what they meant. Since II is known
that the shops and divisions will be
located here, since it is known how
much land they have purchased, since
1t is currely reported that the Bar
mum & Bailey winter headquarters
will be here and since it is known
that Mr.. Ringing himself will have
a home here, that he will tia per
sonal pride in the city, that he will
lend his own influence and wealth
toward the building of the city, it is
beginning to dawn upon the people
what these men meant when they
said Ardmore did not know the mag
nitude of the new railroad nor ap-
precia.9 what it would mean to the
town.
Home Coming Celebration.
The home coming of the Ringing
