James Boorman runs the tavern
at Bagley but the travelling men say
it's the Burlington house, and the
reason why is because it is only a
few rods from the depot, and Mr..
Landlord is there to grs ct patrons
and fix them out for d day or week.
Your pocketbook with much or little
is safer in Mr.. Boorman S hands than
in many a pretentious bank. He is
just that sort of fellow the year
around. Go to the Burlington house
in Bagley every chance that offers.
That Otto Finkbeiner will recover

MAKE PLANS
To ORGANIZE:
At WILSON
REV. j. w. BURNS WILL BEGIN A
SERIES OF EVANGELICAL
MEETINGS AUGUST 16, IN OIL
FIELD TOWN.

The Christian church in southern
Oklahoma will divide honors with the
Baptists and the Methodists from this
time on in evangelical work. The First
Christian church of this city has un.
dertaken to organize at least one new
church each year and a meeting will
be begun at Wilson on Monday Aug.
16, which will have as its object the
organization of a church in that city.
Rev. j. w. Burns, pastor of the church
will do the preaching, and the music
will be in charge of Prof Fred Poul-
ter of this city. Wilson people of all
denominations will be favored with
some common sense practical SER
mons that will be of interest and that
will be helpful to all, and the music
will be a prominent feature of the
meeting. The meeting is to be con-
tinued for two weeks.
Hewitt formerly had a Christian
church but it has been abandoned,
and the workers who will go from
here will find a number of persons
there of their faith, and the organiza-
ton Of church will be rendered much
easier because of that fact. Ardmore
people will take much interest in
the series of meetings, and many
from here will be in attendance.

OKLAHOMA EXHIBIT WILL BE
IN CHARGE OF ARDMoRE MAN.

The annual dry farming congress
27 to October 8, and Oklahoma will
have an unusually fine exhibit there.
if the plans Of Col. Gault, president
of the state board of agriculture are
carried out
Yesterday Mr. Gault selected the
three men to collect the exhibit who
will have charge of it at Denver, and
among them is Felix X. West, secre-
tary of the chamber of commerce.
The other two members are S. b.
Jackson of El Reno and Frank Thralls
of Hydro. Mr.. Thralls will have
charge of the northeastern portion OF
the state, Mr.. Jackson the northwest
ern and Mr. West the southern por-
tion. Mr.. West stated that conditions
in Oklahoma as a rule were fine, and
he is sure that the exhibit will be one
to do the state justice. The work of
collecting the county exhibit for the
state fair will not be hampered in any
manner by the fact that the dry farm
ing congress meets two days after the
state fair in Oklahoma. r. L. Scott
who is serving as agricultural agent
here, will continue the work and see
that Carter is well represented at the
fair and that a competent man is in
charge. Mr.. West has already begun
to make his collection for Denver and
says he is going to show the world
that the southern part of Oklahoma
is the equal of any country in the
world in agricultural pursuits. Last
year the international ytd farming
congress was held at Tulsa.

The Confederate Home here is one
state institution of which Oklahoma
can be justly proud. The state offic-

its affairs are conducted that they sell

ing that Grand Duke Nicholas was
forced to evacuate Warsaw and now
is fighting with all his might TO pre-,
vent the others from cutting off his
retreat.
Thus far he seemingly has been
successful, for, although the Germans
claim the capture of a large number
of prisoners, the aggregate is small
when compared with the immense
forces engaged. In addition to this

Refugees who left Warsaw some

1t is learned from them that Warsaw
even at that early date had been
denuded of virtually every thing that
might be useful to the Teutons. Fac
tories had been stripped of their ma
chinery and all war stores moved
into the interior of Russia and the
government of the city left to the
Polish population.

STARTED
For GOOD ROADS
LAST NIGHT.
MASS MEETING AT CITY HALL
LAUNCHED MOVEMENT THAT
MEANS A GREAT DEAL TO CITY
AND COUNTY.

At the mass meeting called by the
mayor, held last night for the purpose
of launching a substantial good roads
movement in Ardmore and Carter
county, the first substantial work
ever accomplished along these lines
was launched, and from all indica.
tions will be prosecuted to a success.
full termination.
The meeting, which was well at
tended, was called to order promptly
at o'clock by Mayor Mullen, who
briefly stated its object, and placed
in nomination as chairman, County
Commissioner G. w. Young, who was
unanimously elected. In accepting
the gayel Mr.. Young made a rousing
good roads speech, AMI assured the
mayor and board of city commission
ers that the county was with them
in their efforts to secure better roads
and that they heartily seconded the
efforts of the mayor in securing state
convicts to work the roads.
The mayor explained to the audi
ence the plan of securing the con-
yicts to work the roads, and the ap-
proXimate cost OF maintaining them
here for the length of time neces-
sary to do what work could be done
this year.
He explained that it would require
at least six thousand dollars to main
tain the prisoners and teams here
for five months. OF this amount the
county will pledge three thousand, the
city five hundred, and the balance
must be raised by popular subscrip-
ton
Last night the business men pres
ent subscribed five hundred dollars of
this amount. and the mayor stated
that he believed he could raise the
balance among the business men of
the city in few hours.
Col. Sidney Suggs, ey-state high
way commissioners, was called upon
and in a short speech, covering every
phase of road construction, told the
city and county commissioners his
ideas of the proper course of proce-
dure. Col. Suggs urged organization,
the elimination of factional selfish
ness and harmony between the city
and country, the elimination of every
feeling that would retard develop
ment, and all to work with a get
together spirit that spells success.
Col. Suggs remarked that the duty
of every business man was to attend
such meetings as was held last night
and take an active part in the de-
of the good roads move
ment that is sweeping tho country.
Asked as to the modes of proce-
dure in building roads, the colonel
outlined the plans adopted by the |
state department of highways under
his administration, and urged his |
hearers TO maintain a strict organi- |
,ation and the people who subscribed /
