spent iranome that typified the
highest civilization that wealth
and Intelligence could bring. In
evitably there came the man
whom fate ordained for her mate.
The call Of the west came; after
many vicissitudes, these two en-
tered the world of business. The
life of ease and luxery only ten
ded to increase the energy with
which these twCentered the world
OF business, To-Day our city has
the pleasure of counting these two
among it's inhabitants. No higher
tribute could be paid to the Amer

names Of such people as are this

of the grandest characteristics
OF the energetic, progressive elem
ent of the great West. We speak
of Mr.. and Mrs. Wilkeys.

Plans are rapidly being formed
for the erection of a modern hotel
in Duncan. Some of the most con
servative men in our city are of
the firm belief that such a hotel
would pay a handsome dividend
We are a prosperous people, and
our prosperity can not be kept
from the word We can only ex
pect a steadily growing stream of
home seekers to our vicinity. The
needs OF a larger hotel than any.

Some of Duncan's strongest citiz
ems are heavily interested in real

A New Hotel for Duncan

A number of our ciizenss are
seriously considering the building
Of hotel that will be, in some
measure, partly equipped to sup
ply Duncans needs. An excellent
location for such a hotel would be
in the neighbrhood of the Bank of
Duncan. This position, both for
convenience, and for romantic
setting, would be all that anv
guest could wish. But is there
a spot in rich Duncan
that is not romantic. Have YOU
ever thought of the beauty of
our streets? What scenes of love
liness they will present in the
pleasant summer months? 1t is
almost an assured fact that this
