Had the Wrong Nightie,

A story of an experience which came
to one of Augustus citizens short time
ago on the occasion of his visit to Sears
mont, his home town, to celebrate his
birthday,is affordng his friends no small
amount of amusement at his expense. 1t
is understood that he did not intend the
story to get out, but of course it did, and
is told about as follows: After varied
experiences throughout the day the man
who had the birthday babe the rest of
the household good night and sought his
bedroom to retire for the night, where
preparations went along all right until it
came to donning his night dress. There,
however, he found trouble, for as he put
it on over his head he not only found it
somewhat small for him but the sleeves
only went to the elbow. Then the truth
dawned on him that he had brought from
home one of his better half's night dres-
ses instead of his own. -Kennebec

J. R. SHARP To
BE IN 7 He
CITY TODAY
STATED THAT HE COMES HERE
TO BEGIN WORK ON A MUCH
BETTER HOTEL THAN PEOPLE
HAVE 5ARGAlNED FOR.

Word was received here yesterday
afternoon that J. II. Sharp would be
here today with something tangible to
impart to the citizens relative to the
new hotel that will be built at the
corner of West Main and c streets.
There has been some impatience
manifested over the delay that a
great majority of the public did not
or could not understand. 1t takes
time to develop plans for a $15O,OO0
proposition and as all the plans have
been matured elsewhere, the public
could not understand why work was
not begun long ago.
Mhile Mr. Sharp has made no def
mite statement, it has leaked out that
he is going to give Ardmore a much
better hotel than at first contem-
plated. In other words, he has had
plans made for a hotel to cost 100000
instead of $150,OOO as rrst contem-
plated, and which the people were
asked to give bonus for
This fact has not been generally
known. but it comes on the vest best
Of authority and can be taken as an
assured fact
The hotel proposition has been on
the minds of the people for a long
time. There has been more or less
skepticism about the whole matter
but from the very best information
obtainable, it can be safely assured
that Mr.. Charp will uild a bigger and
better hotel than first contemplated
and that work will begin within
very short time.

Sought Safer Country.

NJ. ]. Millard. geologist for the Pro
ducers Oil company, is here from
Houston, accompanied by his assist
ant. r. \. Birt of Wichita Falls. These
gentlemen will spend some days here
looking over Carter county oil lands.
Mr. Millard was with l.. w. Burrow
last year in Mexico and remained
there after Mr. Burrow left. During
the month of last June he was fired
upon four times by Mexicans and he
decided that it would be much safer
for him to cross the line back into
the states. He will devote his time
to Texas and Oklahoma while the Mex
lean situation is being improved upon.
Mr.. Millard says his lessons in Mex
leo were worth the price; he learned
the valuable lesson of patience and
also learned that he could not ac-
complish his aims by mere human
force.

road to the oil fields and charge each
auto the sum of fifty cents for driving
over it, When the road is paid out,
he proposes that his company give it

figures on the amount of travel to the

of use While it is paying for itself
it will also save its price in the wear
