There is a lot Of cotton yet to be

Lat season the total here was just
a trinc under ten thousand bales.
Many cotton buyers and growers pre-
dict that that figure will be passed b.

The market has never been below

section are being urged by the best
observers TO cut their acreage another

Does Ardmore need more hotels? ?
Well take trip early any morning

and rooming houses are located and
Lote the number Of signs hung at the
entrance, "All Rooms Full" and one
will not be long in coming to the con-
clusion that Ardmore needs more ho-
tel room and needs it badly at this
very time.
The situation will be somewhat re-
lieyed in a few weeks however. as the
new Wilmington hotel will be open,
and then the new 100000. Sharp
hotel will be well under construction
before the first of the year, but that
does not relieve the local situation at
present and the travelling public often
times find it extremely difficult to Sc
cure sleeping quarters when they ar
rive on night trains.
Travel is extremely heavy here at
present. Oil men are coming by the.
score to investigate the new Fox
field, and the regular patrons of the
hotels who have holdings in the Heald-
ton field keep the hotels full and over
flowing every night in the week.
Citizens of this city are anxious to
see actual work on the new Sharp
hotel begin as soon as possible. The
plans are being drawn and every as
surance is given that work will begin
within a few weeks.
