Will Repair Asphalt Paving.

J. T. Tandy, with the Shelby Down
ard Paving company has gone TO
Paris to make some repairs on the
paving plant in that city, and when he
has finished that work he will re-
turn to Ardmore and remain here
until he repairs the paving done in
this city by the Downard people
That means that Broadway will be
about the only street that will re-
ceive improvements. North Wash
ington, which has some work that
needs repairing badly, will not be
repaired until the city succeeds in
the McQuatters people
that they had best do the work. The
company seems to be
inclined to postpone the work as
long as possible.

COTTON SEED AT RlNGLING
SELLING FOR SIP A TON

Frank l.. Ketch and n. r. Brooks at
Ringing have seen an opportunity
to make some money by purchasing
cotton seed at SO a ton and holding
until the price goes higher. They
have planned to purchase 500 tons
and have already purchased one-fifth
of that amount. The Ardmore Oil Mill
which has gin and storage house
there also, began buying at the same
figure, and the two competing com
panies resulted in putting the price
up 81 a ton. During the buying Friday
the purchasers began paying $12 a
ton for seed.
Mr.. Ketch says the country around
Ringlng and Cornish has a fine cotton
crop. John Cornish is quoted as say
ing that he never saw a better crop
there in the past twenty years. Much
of the cotton will make a bale to the
acre Farmers are busy gathering
their crops.

BULLETS STOPPED BY PAPERS
War Correspondent Has Bible and

To illustrate the bullet-resistina

and papers and Bible each of which
on separate occasions had been instru-
mental in saving his life in the course
of the Russo-Turkish war.
In one instance he was knocked of
his horse by the impact of bullet
and became unconscious, only to find
on regaining his senses that the friend

entering his body. On the second oc.
casion, at Plevna, the Bible, which he
had placed in side pocket, DETECTED

He had kept the wallet intact as

journalists who was examining its con.

upon a letter which he himself had
indited to the war correspondent some
80 or 40 years ago. the very existence
of which he had entirely forgotten.
In the letter he had expressed the
hope that his friend would return safe

words safe and sound had been al

BIG MYSTERY IS UNSOLvED
Body Dies Without Explain
Ing His Act.

London.-The death at Aberdeen of
Charles Souttar, at the age of seventy
three, recalls the astounding theft of
the body of the earl of Crawford from
the family vault at Dunecht, Aber-
deenshire, in 1881.
The body was ultimately found in a
wood close to the mansion. Souttar
was charged and found guilty of theft
and sentenced to FIVE years penal
servitude.
The police engaged in the case held
that more than one was engaged in
the body snatching, but the accused
never alluded to the mystery and
whatever the secret was it has died
with him.
