NO FLOODS HERE.

Every day is a Thanksgiving day
with this portion of Oklahoma. The
rains came, but we suffered none
from the floods. Other lands were
made desolate, howes swept away
lives sacrificed, the soil washed away.
But in this section that knows moth
ing of the floods we have no loss more
serious than a partial suspension OF
business. The soil was given a good
wetting, but not washed away. Ihe
rivers were high, but homes were I'M
molested and the bridges are intact.
Ardmore has never been visited by a
destructive wind storm Ardmore has
never had any race war, no bitter
feuds have ever been built up here
law has always been supreme, ana
these things ought to come among the
| first when we begin to count our pup
lie blessings There is always more
good here than bad if We will only
look for it.
