IMPRESSIONS OF AKDMORE
UPON FlRST-TiME VISITOR

"Well, I'd say Ardmore is some
town." the first-time visitor told the
Ardmoreite reporter today.
For one thing the automobiles:
never saw more autos in town this
size in my life. That is one of the
first signs of big business; when
everybody has a car, everybody is
making money. And the garages on
every corner are still full of new
ones, so all the money has not been
spent yet.
Another thing is oil-that magic
word. Every office building has one
or more oil companies, offices.
Everywhere, everybody, who has time
to talk, talks about oil. A dozen jit'
neys at the depots and along the
streets have signs on them and loud
drivers in them that show plainly
they will take anyone to the famous
oil fields.
"Ardmore has two fine residence
|
sections, Northwest and Southwest
An automobile ride over the city
proved that to me. There is large
number of pretty, well-kept homes
and many new houses are going up in
all directions. 1t is easy to see that
Ardmorites will not live poorly mol
unattractively housed.
"And the most interesting of all the
good signs is the rapid and consist
ant change going throughout thf
business part of the city. New office
buildings are going up beside ole
worn-out lean-to's, and this leads one
to the conclusion that few year:
from now Ardmore will have nothing
but modern, up-to-date-latest business
buildings.

be entitled to the otner. Since state
hood that agreement has been lived

had one member of the senate and
has never had any more, and either
Love or Murray county has had one
member.

MORE VICTIMS OF

Frightful Accident on State Highway
Near Richfield, Caused by the Speed
Mania-One Dead, One Badly Hurt.

Another automobile accident, the re-
suit of sheer reckless driving, occur
red on the public highway about a mile
and half from Richfield, last Friday
evening, says the Jerome News. One
person was killed outright and another
very seriously injured-so seriously
that his recovery has been a matter of
doubt and may still be so.
Robert Brown, driving a new high
power car, with Mrs. George Brown.
his brothers wife, and three young
girls as his passengers, undertook to
turn a corner in the road at high
speed, when one front wheel broke off
at the axel. Mrs. Brown fell under the
car with the fender across her, break
ing her neck. Brown was generally
smashed up, the report being that
ribs were broken and a leg broken,
his shoulder sprained and perhaps in
ternal injuries. He was in a precari-
GUS condition at last reports. The
three girls in the rear seat of the car
escaped without serious injury.
1t is reported that Mr.. Brown was
driving at a rate of sixty miles an
hour and did not slacken speed at all
on account of the turn of the road.
Both Robert and George Brown form
erly resided in Shoshone and both have
paid damages for personal injuries to
others on account of having run their
victims down with their cars. Robert
