ARDMORE NOW
PRESENTSNEW
APPEARANCE
NEW BUILDINGS AND GENERAL
PROSPERITY is CAUSING THE
BUSINESS MEN OF THE CITY TO
REJOICE.

The work of rebuilding the city,
or that portion which was destroyed
by the recent explosion is being
pushed rapidly forward and within
a few months the last vestige of the
wrecked buildings will be removed
and new structures will be erected
in their stead.
Carpenters and mechanics are busy
all over the city and there is plenty
of work for all, although there seems
to be enough local men to handle the
business without strangers coming
to seek employment.
Financially the city is better off
than for many years past, according
to the banks and business men gen
orally. The farmers are, as rule,
out of debt, and have money to in
vest or put in the bank. There has
been but little actual want reported
so far this season and a general era
of prosperity seems to have settled
upon the city that looks very good
for the future business interests.
Union labor generously took all re-
strictions off for some time after the
explosion in order that all might be
working to bring order out of chaos.
but now that affairs are settled the
jobs are all being done by union
men, with very little other than COM
mon labor that is not affiliated with
the Trades Council.
Merchants and business men gener-
ally are very jubilant over the future
of the city, and the indications that
all the buildings wrecked by the dis
aster will be replaced with better and
more modern structures and with a
new Union deport and a big modern
hotel, Ardmore will have reason to be
proud of its changed appearance.

WORKING ON
THE WHITE WAY
PROPOSITION
SALESMAN WAS IN CITY THIS
MORNING WITH SAMPLES OF
ELECTRIC LIGHT STANDARDS
WILL BE ADOPTED.

Mayor Mullen and the entire Board
of City Commissioners are diligently
working on the white way proposition
and at the regular meeting of the
board tonight the details of the mat
ter will be discussed.
T. L. Miller of Oklahoma City, rep
resenting the Southwestern General
Electric company, was in the city
today with a line of samples Of stand
ards, for which he hopes to secure
orders. The mayor stated that the
standards would probably be for
three lights and would be uniform
throughout the entire length of the
white way. He has secured the as
surance of the property owners that
they will purchase the standard, and
the Ardmore Ice, Light & Power COM
pany has agreed to cooperate with
the city officials in installing the
system.

ply Food Deficiency.

London, Dec. 14.-The Bull
garian troops have broken
through the Anglo-French lines
and cut off the French from
their British allies, according to
advices given out in Berlin to-
day. The same advices say
that long section of the front
was taken from the French
who suffered heavy losses.
Protests against further con-
cessions by Greece to the en-
tente allies will be made by
Germany, according to an Ath-
ems dispatch. 1t is reported that
Germany has also asked Greece
if the new facilities afforded
the allies will affect Grecian
neutrality.
The peace discussion is like
ly to be resumed in the Reichs-
tag, according to a Leipsig dis
patch, which says that the thir-
ty-four socialist members are
dissatisfied with the results of
the recent discussion.

Safely in Greek Territory.

London, Dec. 1.-THE British and
French troops have successfully car
ried out their retirement from Serbia
across the Greek frontier and by an
arrangement with the Greek govern
ment, a clear road has been left for
them to fall back on Saloniki, which
is being organized as base.

day claims that approximately two
English divisions were annihilated,"
during the retirement, but this is
considered here an eXaggeration. Ac-

losses. BY the destruction of railway
bridges and roads and by stubborn
rear-guard actions, in one Of which
two companies of the Inniskilling reg
/ their comrades, the Bulgarians were
kept at fairly safe distance.
The question now arises whether
the Bulgarians and Austro-Germans
intend to follow the British and
French troops into Greece and what
action the Greek government will
take should they do so. The i'm
preston gained from dispatches ema-
mating from Athens is that neither
the Bulgarians nor the Turks, who
also are reported to have arrived
near the frontier would be welcomed
in Greece, and that therefore if it has
been decided to follow the entente
allies, the task will be undertaken by
Austrians and Germans.
However, with the railway destroy
ed, it may be some days before
Greece is called upon to take action,
and by that time the AngloFrench
force should be safe in the defenses
of Salonik and under the guns of
their ships.
Unofficial advices from Athens are
that the Greek troops in the region
which the entente allies must use in
their operations have been withdrawn,
and that the zone between Saloniki
and Doiran is now open and free for
their movement. In addition, it is
said that assurances, which are re-
garded as satisfactory, have been
given personally by King Constantine
to the entente ministers in Athens.

are still resisting the Austrians and
Bulgarians in Albania, while the Aus

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington City
June 18th, 1915.

June 7th, 1915.
A regular line of Jitneys has been
established in Washington, also a
line to Baltimore and other points
In juxtaposition. The jitney-bus
is response to an economic demand,
and | believe it is here to stay. Good
roads and the jitney's are twin com
panions, they are the fore-runners
which impel us to conclude and to
predict that there is going to be
revolution in transportation.
1t looks as if we are to succeed
steam with electricity, and that the
locomotive will take it's, place with
the antiquated stage-coach. The
coming of this new mode of trans
portation obviates the building of
railroads, from jitney-bus fares to lit
ney freight rates, ebert and ma
cadamized roads, and then the cleo
trio car, the cheapest transportation
in sight. 1t will be an economical
revolution in travel and freight
rates, it is nearer in harmony with
transportation by water.
The jitney will be hailed as a boon
by the public, it is product of ne
cessity, and l believe has taken it's
place permanently. 1t is impossible
to contemplate the progressive things
in store for us just ahead, the order
OF the day and the future, will be the
building of good roads instead of
grading railroads. l regard it as
start in the direction of a secular
millennium for the people.

POINTS OF VIEW.
H. w. M.

Among the things Mrs. Harris told
us about the Chinese in her recent
talk at the Methodist Church was
their admiration of the house-keeD-
ing of the missionaries and their ap-
probation of music 1t reminded me
of an experience Mr.. Carter had
many years ago when he tried to
find joke among the Chinese of
New York City. AS his quest led
him to a theater and incidentally
up against" an orchestra of that
nationality he concluded that the
yellow peril had neither a sense of
humor, as we see it, nor any concep-
ton of "a concord of sweet sounds"
The nearest approach to a joke
by a Chinaman is the incident of
All Sin hiding innumberable cards
within his ample sleeves while play
ing a game ''he did not understand"
| believe Mrs. Harris told us the
Chinese had no songs and the sweet
airs played by missionaries on little
organs and concertinas were simply
enchanting to them.
Then the cleanliness and bright
ness of the schools appealed to them
very strongly. Light is one of the
elements of life in the material world
and the highest degree of intelli-
gence in nations characterizes them
as enlightened. So we see the i'm
portance of soap and windows as
means of regenerating and uplifting
the heather. Also of songs and
musical instruments.
However, missionary who had
been in Japan five years, assured me
that Cinnamon were superior to the
Japanese in morality. All positions
of trust and grave responsibility in
Japan were given to Cinnamon who
are philosophers and take themselves
very seriously, trying to live up to
the standard set by the maxims of
COnfucius.
DR.. and Mrs. Fred Manget, who are
missionaries at Huchow or Suchow
China, will arrive in Marietta next
Spring to spend a year at home.
Mrs. w. D. Anderson, Mrs. Manget's
mother, will come over from Cedar
town to spend the year with them.
They will bring three little daugh-
tiers with them and will be warm
ly welcomed by their many friends
and kinsmen.

IMPROVEMENT IN THE PARK.

You have noticed how much nicer
the park appears now than it u.s.
ually does? For several weeks it
has been swept and raked by wo-
men instead of men. To be sure
they are not as strong as the men but
they are very thorough and faithful
and accomplish good results.
