for discussion. Growing out OF TINS
suggestive question, IA number of IN
teresting and good things that are just
ahead will be discussed in a practical
way-the idea being not to waste much

Rapid development of the newly
discovered oil pool at Hewitt said

that seems to be universally acccpta'
BILE, or that fits, it is likely that that

task of Ardmore business interests.
Fifteen new rigs are now being erect

far the greatest and best ever hai
vested in Carter county and Will be sol'
at the most profitable process ever re
ceived by our farmers.
All other agricultural conditions ar
almost ideal with every prospect fo
profitable markets just ahead. None

final affairs.
Municipal Improvements, particl
