BIGGEST COTTON CR0P IN
CARTER COUNTY HISTORY

j. $. Alverson Of Glenn, one Of
Carter county's most progressive
farmers was in Ardmore today on
business.
Mr.. Alyerson stated that farmers
were sowing oats as rapidly as pos
sible and that the acreage was going
to exceed that of any season in this
section Of the state on account of
the weather conditions which prevail
ed and prevented them from sowing
wheat.
Ir. Alverson said that he had in
tended sowing as much rs 1000 acres
in wheat this season, but weather
conditions prevented and he will have
all told only about 100 acres.
He will have about 400 acres in
oats and the same number OF acres
in cotton this season.
He predicts the biggest cotton acre
age and the smallest wheat acreage
in many years.
Tom Cooper has several hundred
acres Of his farm under lease and
began today TO disc it for oats. he

Young Wife Buried Here

The remains of Mrs. Clyde
Weatherly, whose death at
McLauglin, S. Dak., was briefly
noted in The Blade last week,
were brought here for burial,
arriving Monday night in charge
of the sorrowing husband and
taken to the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. S. Weatherly south of

held at the Weatherly home
Wednesday afternoon, conduct
ed by Rev. Layton of the M. E..
church. Deceased was born in
Illinois and was % years old at
death. Mr.. and Mrs. Weatherly
were united in marriage in 1911.
The marked esteem in which
Mrs. Weatherly was held by
those who knew her best was
shown by the many beautiful
florial offers, they being from
the Ladies Aid Society, Order of
Eastern Star, Order of Railway
Telegraphers, officials of the
Northern Pacific, by whom Nh.
Weatherly is employed, and
many others. Burial was made
in the Laclede cemetery.

Burlington Depot
Destroyed by Fire
Saturday Evening
Fire Supposed to Have Started From
Explosion Of Oil Heater Used
to Warm Express Room

Laclede is without a depo-
for the third time by fire since il
became a railroad town in 1859
Fire, supposed to have beer
started by the explosion of az
oil heater used to warm the ex'
press room soon reducted the
frame structure to ashes be-
tween 6 and z o'clock last Satur
day evening.
The fire was not discovered
until the whole inside of the
express and freight rooms were
in flames and fire had appeared
through the roof. Not many
were about the station at that
hour and a strong wind caused
the fire to spread so rapidly
that only a small amout of the
contents were saved.
A fierce fight put up by a
bucket brigade saved the cafe
building just across the track
east, and Chas. Clark's lunch
house northeast Of the depot
was also in danger and was
actually TN fire in several places
but saved with but slight
damage.
Burlington officials from Chi
cago, st. Louis and Brookfield
were here Monday investigat-
ing the fire and confering with
Station Agent Moore in regard
to a new depot. When question
ed by The Blade Mr.. Moore
said he had no information to
give out in regard to the new
building more than that no
time would be lost in providing
suitable accommodations for
the business here.
However, it was learned from
a reliable source that the tenta-
tive plans call for a brick struct-
ure as large if not larger than the
old building. 1t is to be modern
with two waiting rooms, offices,
express and freight rooms. The
offices and waiting rooms will
have tile floors, the other rooms
cement floors. The whole build
ing will have furnace heat and
be as near fire-proof as possible.
In the meantime an old way
car is serving for an office and
an old passenger car for a watt
ing room. Station Agent Moore
and his force are making the
best of the situation and taking
care of the business as best they
,an. The roads having been
back to private owner
snip, we feel sure the Burlington
appreciates the situation at the
junction and win give Laclede a
station that win be creditable to :
he company as well as the town :
With just as little delay as
possible.
